Determination of Shipping Rates for Central Jakarta Route Based on Operational Costs of Battery-Based Vehicles with Chargeable Weight Pattern at PT. Dapensi Dwikarya
Shipping Rates, Electric Vehicles, Chargeable Weight, Operational Costs, Logistics Efficiency
Abstract
The establishment of freight rates is an important component of the logistics sector, driven by a variety of factors such as vehicle running costs, weight computation methodologies, and transit efficiency. PT. Dapensi Dwikarya (DDK), a logistics service provider, is now implementing a distance-based tariff system (Rp/km) in partnership with PT. Pos Indonesia for commodities delivery along the Central Jakarta route. However, when the actual cargo weight is quite modest, this method is seen negatively by customers. As a result, the purpose of this study is to examine and determine a shipping rate based on the operational expenses of electric vehicles using the chargeable weight technique, which takes into account both actual and volumetric weight. This study takes a quantitative approach to investigating the operational expenses of battery-electric vehicles, including energy consumption, maintenance, and asset depreciation. The data show that driving an electric vehicle saves money, notably on fuel and maintenance costs. Furthermore, government subsidies for electric vehicles provide strategic potential to help sustain logistics operations. Based on these findings, the report suggests that PT. Dapensi Dwikarya implement a chargeable weight-based pricing structure and maximize the use of electric vehicles to create an efficient, competitive, and ecologically sustainable delivery system.
