Indonesia’s largest car terminal operator reported higher cargo volumes and vessel calls through May, supported by digital operations, automotive market recovery, and stronger demand for logistics services
PT Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal Tbk (IPCC), Indonesia’s largest vehicle terminal operator, reported a 14.6% increase in vehicle handling volumes across its Jakarta terminal and five satellite terminals during January-May 2026, driven by digitalized operations and improving automotive demand.
The company handled an additional 64,525 units of completely built-up (CBU) vehicles, heavy equipment, buses and trucks compared with the same period last year. Vessel calls across IPCC’s terminals rose 21.4% to 1,577 through May, from 1,299 a year earlier.
IPCC attributed the growth to continued digitalization of terminal operations, including vessel planning, yard management and real-time operational reporting, which it said improved efficiency and service reliability.
The company also cited improving global trade conditions and Indonesia’s downstream mineral processing policy as factors supporting demand for automotive logistics services.
CBU vehicle throughput reached 365,760 units during the first five months of 2026, up 4.95% or 17,235 units from a year earlier. The truck and bus segment posted the strongest growth, rising 57.38% to 126,769 units, while heavy equipment volumes increased 8.35% to 13,870 units.
The performance coincided with a recovery in Indonesia’s automotive market. According to GAIKINDO, national wholesale vehicle sales totaled 359,015 units during January-May 2026, up 12.8% from the same period last year.
CBU export volumes handled by IPCC increased 7% to 148,794 units, reflecting continued demand for vehicle exports.
“The trust placed in us by our customers continues to drive improvements in service quality and operational efficiency,” Acting President Director Bagus Dwipoyono said in a statement.
He said the company would continue investing in digital technology, operational efficiency and infrastructure while preparing for growing volumes of electric and hybrid vehicles in Indonesia’s import and export market.
IPCC said it expects to maintain its growth momentum through the remainder of 2026, supported by rising automotive demand and ongoing operational improvements.
