The
government plans to equip all official cars used by President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono’s Cabinet members and other high-level state officials with gas
converter kits as part of the oil-to-gas conversion program.
“We have
appointed [state-owned aircraft maker] PT Dirgantara Indonesia to produce the
kits. But if the company fails to provide all the demanded kits, we will import
more kits to fill the gap,” Coordinating People’s Welfare Minister Agung
Laksono told reporters at the presidential office on Monday.
Agung added
that the government expected to reach its goal by April.
The
oil-to-gas conversion campaign was launched to support government plans to
limit the amount of subsidized fuel used by private cars in Java and Bali,
which will be gradually carried out from April.
The
government hopes the program will allow it to reduce the fuel subsidy.(dic)
