Encyclopedia
PT Industri Kereta Api Indonesia, abbreviated as INKA, is a government-owned corporation
which was formed on August 19, 1981 as the successor of Balai Yasa Lokomotif Uap (steam locomotive
maintenance depot) owned by Perusahaan Jawatan Kereta Api (now PT Kereta Api) in Madiun
, East Java
, Indonesia
. As of mid-1970s, steam locomotives are no longer used in Indonesia and the defunct depot was then converted into a railway rolling stock
manufacturer.
These business transformations provide costumer success to obtain best and valuable solution for railway transport improvement. In the global competition, INKA develop various kind of features from reliable product platform under quality management system ISO 9001 and global partnership.
Through a continuous improvement to adapt turbulance change, INKA conducts the business with core values: integrity, professional and quality. INKA is following the destination to the future business opportunity not only for railway transport but broader product and services which derived from core competence contributing to the creation of infrastructure and transportation demand.
Changing market conditions push the railway manufacturer to utilize its core competence for diversification products. The best adaptation is to extend services in transport value chain over the automotive product platform and handling equipments.
The modular construction is enhanced from proven railway technology to various kind of pre-fabrication. Computer aided design, system integration and quality management system ISO 9001 : 2000 are the toolkits for successful new product development. For a vehicle manufacturer, the decisive task is to meet customer satisfaction with the modern manufacturing system in every kind product, every lot, and every where global market place.
High demand intercity railway is increasing in the high density region in the archipelago countries. New passenger coaches were introduced to capture the niche market with quality of services. In the beginning, value migration was created to absorb middle class passenger mobility. The next step development is prepared to adapt newest technology for diesel electric railcar on the medium distance railway corridor.
Those new technology is upgraded from the development of commuter electric railcar using light weight stainless steel carbody and modern AC traction control with IGBT VVVF inverter. Commuter railcar is the best solution for public urban transport. Based on experiences in commuter services, the modern electric railcar will be soon developed to more reliable design for future mass rapid transit.
In the developing countries, railway is expected to be backbone of land transportation. The large scale mining and industry commodities are better carried by bulk rail wagon. Various design of freight wagon can adapt the special demand of handling and higher capacity such as 18 ton axle load in the coal and pulp transportation. On the other hand, the modern container flat wagon is designed for speed up 100 km/h and light weight requirement.
The new railway line and double track projects in developing countries are increasing to cope the potential demand of goods transport as well as to improve line capacity. High quality hopper wagon and multi purpose track maintenance car is usually required in small lot. New approach on mutual collaboration with railway consultant and civil contractor will overcome an efficient turnkey project especially for plantation and mining area.

In addition, PT INKA is also pioneering the production of a national car called GEA (short for Gulirkan Energi Alternatif) and a prototype was created in 2008. In 2009, GEA began using the machine developed by BPPT, Rusnas, after previously using Chinese
machinery. Carburator is the only imported component in the 2009 prototype.
