These regulations focus on the safety of passengers and drivers of commercial vehicles by prescribing specific structures and components that vehicles must comply with to reduce the risk of serious injury in a frontal collision.
The benefit is to increase the bus operator’s confidence in the reliability of the bus body frame manufactured by Karoseri Laksana and ensure the safety of the bus staff and passengers in the event of a head-on collision on the highway.
“This safety test is important for us as a player in the transport industry in Indonesia. This activity demonstrates our commitment to improving the safety aspects of the buses we produce,” said Stefan Arman, Head of Body Engineering.
Stefan said that at every stage from development to production, we always prioritize passenger safety.
“With the government’s commitment to continue expanding toll roads in Indonesia, we are committed to continue developing buses that prioritize safety aspects with innovative exterior and interior design as well as passenger comfort. Our buses are ready to fill toll roads in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi,” he said.
Director of Road Services, Department of Transport. Irish Danto Restyawan hopes that other bus body makers in Indonesia can follow in Laksana’s footsteps and improve the quality of their bus body products in order to increase the safety level for passengers and bus personnel.
“I hope it’s the same in all auto body industries,” he said.
The same was stated by the chairman of the National Road Safety Committee (KNKT), Soerjanto Tjahjono. He appreciates Karoseri Laksana’s innovations and updates, especially for its full commitment to ensuring the safety of passengers and drivers.
He said Laksana was the first bus body in Indonesia to apply the UN ECE R29 test standard.
“These innovations and improvements make Laksana a role model for other coachbuilders in the country.
“We hope that with this, other facilities will also follow the vehicle standards developed by Laksana to create safe and comfortable transportation for the community,” said Soerjanto Tjahjono.
