WHAT IS DECATRON?

DECATRON is a 12-month collaborative project that builds the knowledge framework, technical capacity, and multi-stakeholder coalition needed to formulate a measurable, evidence-based direction for electrifying urban logistics in Indonesia. The project combines policy research, a market study, an EV pilot in Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek), charging infrastructure analysis, GHG emissions accounting training, and public advocacy.

GALLERIES

6 CORE ACTIVITIES

Welcome to DECATRON

DECATRON is a collaborative research initiative supporting the transition toward lower-emission urban logistics through evidence-based research, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration. We work to advance cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable logistics systems through research, policy, pilot projects, and stakeholder engagement.

Why decarbonizing matters?

Decarbonization is essential to building cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable urban transport systems by reducing emissions across the logistics sector. Through research, collaboration, and evidence-based solutions, DECATRON supports Indonesia’s transition toward lower-emission urban logistics.

Air Pollution vs Carbon Emissions

Air pollution and carbon emissions often come from the same sources, but they have different impacts. Understanding the distinction is essential for designing cleaner transportation systems that address both locar air quality and long-term climate impacts.

Is Indonesia Ready for EV Logistics?

Indonesia has significant potential for EV logistics, particularly in urban areas where delivery fleets are increasingly active. However, scaling EV adoption will require stronger infrastructure, supportive policies, and practical solutions for logistics operators.
