JAKARTA - PT Isuzu Astra Motor Indonesia invites truck owners and drivers to take proactive steps to ensure that all fleets are ready to use, safe, and remain productive amid a surge in national logistics activities, welcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.
Division Head of Business Strategy PT Isuzu Astra Motor Indonesia, Rian Erlangga, said the company understands that commercial vehicles are not just a means of transportation, but the backbone of the supply chain.
"Therefore, we hope that the vehicles used and the drivers who work during the Nataru period prepare themselves well," he said in an official statement received, Wednesday, December 17.
PT IAMI provides a number of vehicle inspection guidelines and safety driving tips that can be applied by business actors and truck drivers during the Nataru period. Here's what to watch out for.
Early Vehicle Readiness Optimization
Isuzu appeals to all truck fleet owners and operators to conduct a thorough vehicle inspection before entering the Christmas and New Year holiday period. This inspection aims to ensure that vehicles are in good condition, safe, and ready to face a surge in logistics activities.
Discipline for Not Driving in a Drowsy Condition
Driving in a sleepy state is a silent killer on the highway. Isuzu emphasizes that driver fatigue is one of the dominant factors in accidents of commercial vehicles, especially during long-distance travel. Drivers are required to get enough rest time before driving. If you start to feel tired, pull over immediately and rest for at least 15-30 minutes. Don't force yourself to chase the time target because safety cannot be negotiated.
Firm against ODOL practices
Carrying a load exceeding capacity not only violates regulations, but also increases the risk of accidents, accelerates vehicle wear, and damages road infrastructure. Isuzu vehicles are designed according to certain technical specifications, including Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW).
Maintain Safe Speed and Distance
The surge in vehicle volume during Nataru requires extra vigilance. Isuzu truck drivers are urged to always maintain speed according to the rules and maintain a safe distance with the vehicle in front.
