Low Cost Green Car (Indonesia)

Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) (Indonesian: Kendaraan Bermotor Roda Empat Hemat Energi dan Harga Terjangkau (KBH2), lit. Energy Efficient and Affordable Automobiles) is an Indonesian automobile regulation which exempts low-cost and energy-efficient cars from luxury sales tax to ensure the affordability, provided they are assembled locally with a minimum amount of local components. The introduction of LCGC in Indonesia was meant to encourage the motorcycle owners/public transportation users to be able to afford their first cars, to reduce fuel subsidy[1] and to compete with Thailand-imported cars, thus creating more jobs locally.[2] The regulation is similar to the Japanese kei car category and Thai Eco Car program which also promises tax cuts for small and efficient cars.

Investment

Toyota, Daihatsu, Suzuki and Honda are set to produce a combined 500,000 LCGCs a year with predicted total investment of $1.8 billion in Indonesia by the end of 2012, after the government has agreed to exempt the LCGC from the luxury tax to boost domestic sales.[5]

On April 22, 2013, PT Astra Daihatsu Motor officially opened Karawang Assembly Plant to anticipate LCGC, although government's LCGC rule is not yet released. The plant assembles 4,000 units Toyota Avanza and/or Daihatsu Xenia per month in the first run and will produce 10,000 unit of cars per month, including the LCGC Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla when the rule has been released.[6]
