Jakarta –

The government has decided on the allocation of the 2025 energy subsidy budget.

The total amount of subsidized fuel in 2025 will reach 19.41 million kiloliters (KL). In detail, kerosene is 0.52 million KL and diesel oil 18.89 million KL. At the same time, for 3 kg LPG, the government provided a quantity of 8.2 million metric tons.

Energy and Mineral Resources Minister (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia said the subsidy allocation was down compared to the previous year’s target of 19.58 million KL. This reduction is due to plans to effectively distribute subsidized fuel in 2025 to make it more targeted.

CHECK TO CONTINUE WITH INDEX

“The hope is that more luxury cars will not use subsidized products,” Bahlil said in a written statement, Wednesday (28/8/2024).

In addition, the government has proposed to keep the diesel subsidy amount at IDR 1,000 per liter in 2025. This decision was made after considering the social and economic impact of an increase in fuel prices.

In addition, the government has also allocated IDR 90.22 trillion for electricity subsidies in 2025. This amount is an increase from the 2024 target of IDR 73.24 trillion. This amount includes the remaining 2023 underpayment of IDR 2.02 trillion.

“This increase is driven by the estimated increase in the number of electricity subsidy recipients from 40.89 million customers in 2024 to 42.08 million in 2025,” he explained.

Responding to this, the Deputy Chairman of Commission VII DPR RI Maman Abdurrahman expressed the importance of targeting electricity subsidies more precisely. He emphasized the need to improve data on subsidy recipients so that the rich would not have subsidies, so that the state budget could be used more efficiently.

“We need to focus on the people in East Indonesia and within Kalimantan who are in dire need of energy subsidies,” he said.

Kia K8: The New Luxury Sedan Challenge to BMW – Features, Specs, and European Availability

by Ethan Caldwell August 14, 2024

written by Ethan Caldwell

The position of the top middle class limousine of the Kia car company was previously held in some markets by the Cadenza model, known as the K7 in Korea. With the new generation, however, the K8 was united, which has now undergone a major change.

Kia K8 before the facelift reminds us a bit of the last European Ford Mondeo.

It no longer looks like the last one from the outside Ford Mondeobut in black more like an evening limousine Batman to society. And since it is a direct competitor to the BMW 5 series, it seems that the Germans have a real competitor.

The front without the usual radiator grill is decorated with very straight adaptive diode headlights (so it reminds us electric flagship EV9). And what else is positive? no more fake solution tips!

Inside the luxurious interior, we find a redesigned climate control located under the central ventilation, softer materials, two mobile phone chargers or LED lighting around.

In the back, the seat belt buckles are illuminated, the rear seats are heated and ventilated, and the crew is protected by a total of 10 airbags.

The K8 cabin has a very high-end feel and equipment.

The base engine is a 2.5-liter gasoline engine tuned to 198 horsepower, and the top is the 300-horsepower 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine. It’s also sold as four-wheel drive, something the previous Cadenza didn’t offer with front-wheel drive only. The transmission is only an eight-speed automatic.

On the other hand, a 16-cylinder hybrid tuned to 180 horsepower works under the hood, but the Czech customer might be interested in a 3.5-liter six-cylinder that burns both gasoline and LPG! Although it has “only” 240 hp, so 60 pp less than its pure gasoline sibling, it will be at least half as cheap.

In terms of price, the basic Kia K8 costs about CZK 630,000, and the highest specification costs CZK 873,000, but this is a change from South Korean prices. And that brings us to why we can only dream about this car in Europe.

So far, it has appeared at home only, although the expansion to other markets is not prohibited, but Europe may not be in Kia crossovers to focus on a luxury sedan. And if so, the K8 would certainly not cost as little as in Korea. Which is a shame because we really liked this car!

Regardless of the money, would I choose?

EU Proposes New Sanctions Against Russia: Ban on Diamonds and Oil Price Cap

by Ethan Caldwell November 15, 2023

written by Ethan Caldwell

The European Commission (EC) has proposed new sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine, imposing a ban on Russian diamonds and strengthening other measures such as a cap on oil prices, it said, citing EC documents. Politico.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Brussels has implemented 11 sanctions packages targeting various areas. The latest sanctions packages are more focused on measures to prevent sanctions circumvention, as the other measures are either politically sensitive or could harm the EU more than Russia.

The proposed EU sanctions package, which has yet to be signed, includes a ban on Russian diamonds that was not included in previous EU packages. Although Washington has already banned Russian diamonds, the EU’s delay is partly due to Belgium’s concern to protect its diamond trading center in Antwerp.

The ban will come into effect from January 2024,

but the indirect import ban on Russian-processed diamonds in non-EU countries will be implemented gradually, as technical work is currently underway to establish a traceability mechanism at the G7 level.

The new EU sanctions package includes tougher requirements to prevent Russian oil bought in violation of existing sanctions being sold with fake receipts. Currently, the G7 price limit of $60 per barrel (about €55) is in place, but Russian crude is reportedly trading well above that limit, increasing the Kremlin’s profits.

“The basis of the price cap mechanism is an attestation process that allows operators involved in the Russian oil supply chain by sea to prove that it has been purchased at the maximum or minimum price,” Politico cites the text of the EC document which states that “it is reasonable to include detailed additional costs such as insurance and freight in claims attestations”.

As written Politico, the sanctions aim to address concerns about possible manipulation of or circumvention of Russian oil price caps. The proposed changes would make this more difficult, but it remains unclear whether sufficient oversight will be in place to prevent questionable transactions from taking place.

The proposed EU sanctions package also extends restrictions on imports of Russian pig iron, copper and aluminum wire and foil. In addition, according to EU diplomats, it introduced new restrictions on Russian liquefied propane (LPG) at the request of Poland and the Baltic states.

EU diplomats who Politico on condition of anonymity, said the proposed sanctions package is scheduled to be considered on Friday. Although the timetable for approval is not yet known, the aim is to achieve approval before the European Council meeting in mid-December or by the end of the year at the latest.

The New Dacia Duster: Engine Range and Updates Revealed

by Ethan Caldwell October 26, 2023

written by Ethan Caldwell

The third generation of the Dacia Duster will be presented later this year, so the premiere is only a few weeks away. Series production will start in December and we will start seeing the first pieces on Czech roads in early 2024. Looking ahead, the popular SUV will receive an even bigger sibling called the Bigster, which should offer up to seven seats and share technology with its smaller sibling. What kind of engines are we actually talking about?

Dacia has not revealed that yet. However, information from the Czech magazine RNews.cz, which maps the behind-the-scenes of the Renault group, can be a guide. With reference to his sources (which have not been mistaken many times in history), he reports in detail about the complete engine range. And something tells us fans of the original Duster won’t be too thrilled.

Some time ago, information leaked to the public that technicians are also tuning the Blue dCi turbodiesel with a volume of 1.5 liters for the new Duster. But now there is a sobering up, diesel will really appear under the hood of the SUV, but only in markets outside of Europe. With us, deployment is not possible due to strict emission limits.

The competition for the current Duster has increased recently. Cheap SUVs from China are becoming a threat.

Three-cylinder in different variants

The basis of the Duster III is supposed to be a new three-cylinder 1.2 TCe, which will be offered in several ways. At the time of market launch, it will be a 130-horsepower variant with mild-hybrid assistance and a manual transmission. There will be a choice between front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive with an inter-axle clutch.

A year later, a version with a power of 140 hp (also a mild-hybrid with a 48V network) will arrive, which will be supplemented in the middle of the year by a weaker 115-hp variant without a mild-hybrid, but with an automatic transmission. “It will be a completely new dual-clutch automatic with the designation DW23. It has seven speed steps, wet clutches and a design limit of 230 newton meters,” reads the RNews.cz magazine’s Facebook post.

LPG continues

So far, Dacia has been more cautious about electrified drives and preferred LPG among the alternatives. It will be no different for the new Duster, where a three-cylinder twelve-cylinder engine is also supposed to run on liquefied petroleum gas. The one without the mild-hybrid will arrive at the end of 2025, it should have 120 horses and the aforementioned automatic. The manual will not receive this version until the middle of next year.

At the same time, the Romanian brand plans to launch a 150-horsepower LPG mild-hybrid with an automatic and even all-wheel drive! It will be e4WD technology, which combines the drive of the front axle with an internal combustion engine, while the rear wheels are turned by an electric motor. At the beginning of 2026, the automatic and LPG will also see a 140-horsepower version. Aren’t you lost yet?

The vision of the new Duster from an independent graphic artist. May be?

A new hybrid

At the beginning, we talked about two internal combustion engines, but so far all versions revolve around a three-cylinder twelve-hundredth. The second power unit will be the 1.8 SCe, an atmospheric four-cylinder, but it will arrive exclusively as a full-hybrid with the designation E-Tech. The 18-seat car will replace the existing 16-seat car, which we know in hybrid form from the Renault Captur or Dacia Jogger.

A more sophisticated hybrid that combines a 1200 TCe with an electric motor and together they manage to produce up to 200 horsepower (perhaps in the new Renault Espace), neither the Duster nor the larger Bigster will get it. It is possible that not all versions mentioned above will be available on the Czech market. However, the final form of the engine offer should differ only minimally.

What do you say about the engines of the new Dacia Duster?

Decent choice, diesel belongs to the stove!

With compromises, but I would choose…
