Abstract

Due to their affordability and compact size, the annual rise in fuel prices has prompted Indonesian consumers to opt for more fuel-efficient vehicles, particularly hatchback models. This study analyzes the key factors influencing fuel consumption in hatchback cars produced in 2024 in Indonesia using statistical analysis with MATLAB. The data analyzed includes technical specifications from various popular hatchback models in the Indonesian market, such as vehicle weight, torque, engine capacity, and engine technology. The analysis results show that vehicle weight has a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.25) with fuel consumption, meaning heavier cars use more fuel than lighter vehicles. In contrast, engine capacity and torque show weak negative correlations with fuel consumption, with correlation values of -0.13 and -0.18, respectively, suggesting that while these factors influence performance, their effect on fuel efficiency is relatively minimal. The findings highlight the critical importance of vehicle weight reduction as a key strategy for improving overall fuel efficiency. Furthermore, this study provides essential insights for consumers to select vehicles that offer a better fuel economy. It also offers valuable guidance for manufacturers looking to design more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly cars. The potential for vehicle weight reduction to become a primary focus for increasing fuel efficiency in hatchback cars is especially emphasized, offering hope for a more sustainable automotive market in Indonesia

Abstract

The scarcity of fossil fuels and the rising environmental concerns make improving fuel efficiency in the automotive sector a critical focus. Diesel Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) in Indonesia, known for their high fuel consumption, significantly contribute to these challenges. This research ad-dresses the problem by investigating the factors influencing fuel efficiency in diesel SUVs availa-ble in the 2024 Indonesian market. The primary objective is to analyze the impact of engine torque, vehicle weight, and engine capacity on fuel consumption. To achieve this, we employed MATLAB as a tool for statistical analysis, using specific algorithms such as linear regression, box plot, and correlation methods to model and evaluate the data. The study found that vehicle weight and engine capacity show a strong positive correlation with fuel consumption, indicating that larger engines and heavier vehicles consume more fuel. In contrast, engine torque was found to have a weaker correlation, suggesting that factors like aerodynamics and transmission efficiency may play a more significant role. These results provide valuable insights for manufacturers in de-signing more fuel-efficient SUVs and for consumers making informed purchasing decisions. Ulti-mately, this research contributes to the development of more sustainable transportation solu-tions by highlighting the importance of optimizing vehicle design and engine specifications to re-duce fuel consumption in the near term.

Abstract

The continuous rise in fuel prices in Indonesia has made fuel efficiency a crucial factor for consumers when selecting vehicles, particularly motorcycles. Automatic scooters with engine capacities below 160 cc have become increasingly popular in urban areas due to their fuel-saving benefits. This study aims to analyze the influence of engine capacity, vehicle weight, and engine torque on the fuel consumption of automatic scooters with engine capacities ranging from 109 cc to 156.9 cc. The study also considers additional performance parameters, including average fuel consumption, power output, and Power-to-Weight Ratio (PWR). Using statistical analysis and MATLAB-based modeling, the data were classified into three distinct clusters. Cluster 1 comprises scooters with engine capacities between 109 and 125 cc; Cluster 2 includes those with capacities between 150 and 160 cc; and Cluster 3 represents scooters with unique component specifications. The results show that Cluster 2 records the highest average maximum power output at 11.47 kW and torque at 14.25 Nm, while Cluster 1 has the lowest at 6.1 kW and 9.64 Nm, respectively. In terms of weight, Cluster 3 is the heaviest, averaging 129.33 kg, while Cluster 1 is the lightest at 96.14 kg. Fuel efficiency is highest in Cluster 1 at 55.3 km/l and lowest in Cluster 3 at 38.67 km/l. Comparative analysis using MATLAB confirms that scooters with lower engine capacities and weights tend to be more fuel-efficient, whereas higher engine capacities lead to increased torque, power, weight, and fuel consumption. These findings can guide consumers in selecting motorcycles that align with their usage needs and assist manufacturers in developing more efficient and high-performing scooters tailored to diverse market segments.

Abstract

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) reflects growing global awareness of climate change and air pollution challenges. As a sustainable alternative to conventional internal combustion vehicles, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and can significantly reduce carbon emissions—particularly when powered by renewable energy sources. However, one of the primary barriers to widespread EV adoption remains the high cost of battery components, which are essential to vehicle performance and energy storage. In Indonesia, two dominant battery types used in EVs are Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC), each offering distinct advantages. LFP batteries are recognized for their thermal stability and longer life cycles, making them suitable for everyday use, while NMC batteries offer higher energy density and are preferred for performance-focused and long-distance applications. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between battery capacity, driving range, and charging time for LFP and NMC batteries using Pearson correlation and regression analysis through MATLAB simulation. The results indicate a strong and statistically significant correlation among the key parameters, with a Pearson coefficient of 0.576 for battery capacity and range, and an R-square value of 0.99 for the regression model, demonstrating high predictive accuracy. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that LFP batteries have a higher average energy efficiency of 7.53 km/kWh compared to 6.84 km/kWh for NMC batteries, indicating more consistent performance in energy usage. These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing battery selection in EV applications and contribute to strategic planning for the development of more efficient electric vehicle systems. The combination of statistical and simulation-based analysis provides a robust foundation for future research and policy-making in the field of electric mobility.

Abstract

Penang’s mounting plastic pollution and limited landfill space coincide with precarious livelihoods for Indonesian migrant workers. This community-empowerment initiative trains migrants to convert plastic waste into income-generating micro-enterprises. Participants master the full chain—from organising door-to-door collection routes and safe household sorting to operating low-cost shredding units and baling plastics for bulk sales to recycling plants. Cooperative governance and basic cost tracking ensure transparent profit sharing and long-term viability. Early results show substantial diversion of recyclable plastics from landfills, measurable cuts in projected greenhouse-gas emissions, and higher monthly earnings for more than fifty migrant households. Shared ownership of collection and shredding operations also strengthens social cohesion and community resilience. The scalable model demonstrates how linking practical waste handling to locally rooted business activities can advance circular-economy goals, improve migrant livelihoods, and foster sustained environmental stewardship in Penang and comparable underserved settings.

Abstract

Thermoelectric materials are game-changers, that have the ability to transform waste heat into electrical energy, making them a potential renewable energy solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The standard metric for evaluating thermoelectric materials is the dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, which is markedly influenced by lattice thermal conductivity (ĸl ). Higher thermal transport through the lattice lowers the ZT value, reducing the material’s efficiency. Therefore, finding ways to decrease ????l is critical for boosting thermoelectric performance. In our research, we explored an innovative approach by applying a quenching technique using liquid silicon to reduce thermal conductivity (ĸT ) due to lattice vibrations. We compared the lattice conductivity (ĸl ) of materials with and without this liquid silicon quenching process. The results were striking: at 300 K, quenching lowers the lattice thermal conductivity by about 40.1 %, and at 800 K, it is still reduced by roughly 24.7%compared with pristine PbTe. Even more impressive, when compared to non-quenched (PbTe)0.95 − (PbS)0.05 alloys, at 300 K, the silicon-quenched sample attains an additional ĸl reduction of roughly 16.1 %, while at 800 K the extra decrease is about 13.0%. These findings highlight that liquid silicon quenching is a highly effective method for lowering ĸl of PbTe thermoelectric materials. This approach paves the way for developing next-generation thermoelectric materials that are more efficient, particularly for eco-friendly waste heat recovery applications. Our work opens new possibilities for sustainable energy innovation.

Abstract

Fuel serves as the primary energy source for motor vehicles, enabling them to move. Although it has been the primary energy source for several centuries, Fuel has led to various environmental issues. One of its negative impacts is that, when burned, Fuel produces carbon dioxide (CO2), a significant contributor to global climate change. Currently, this petroleum-based energy is facing a crisis. Hybrid vehicles present a solution to address this petroleum energy crisis. Recently, hybrid cars have become popular in the modern automotive industry due to their numerous advantages, especially fuel efficiency and emissions. Hybrid vehicle technology combines conventional engine technology that uses Fuel with electric motor technology. This study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis between hybrid and non-hybrid cars, focusing on fuel efficiency, vehicle weight, torque, and price parameters. The aim is to assess the economic feasibility of hybrid vehicles compared to non-hybrid cars. The methodology used is a quantitative comparative study of several hybrid and non-hybrid car models within the same class. Performance data were systematically collected from reliable sources and analyzed under standard conditions, covering various price segments ranging from 600 million to 1.6 billion rupiahs. Statistical analysis was conducted to compare fuel efficiency, torque, and vehicle weight between the two types of cars and evaluate the economic implications of these differences. The study results indicate that hybrid cars achieve significantly higher fuel efficiency, averaging 18–22 km/l, compared to 10–14 km/l for non-hybrid models (p < 0.05). This efficiency increase persists despite increasing torque and vehicle weight, demonstrating that hybrid technology improves performance without sacrificing efficiency. Additionally, cost analysis suggests that although the initial price of hybrid cars is higher, fuel savings can offset the price difference in the long term. This research is expected to serve as a reference for consumers considering cost and energy efficiency when choosing hybrid and non-hybrid cars.

Abstract

The rapid increase in production and usage of Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) in Indonesia has led to heightened concerns over fuel consumption, environmental pollution, and economic sustainability. This study investigates the relationship between engine capacity, vehicle weight, engine torque, and fuel consumption in MPVs, aiming to provide a better understanding of how these variables influence fuel efficiency. Data from 1500 cc MPV models produced between 2023 and 2024 were collected, including technical specifications such as engine capacity, weight, torque, and reported fuel consumption. Using MATLAB, linear regression and Pearson correlation analysis were employed to analyze these relationships. The results reveal that vehicle weight has the most significant impact on fuel efficiency, exhibiting a strong negative correlation of -0.69, meaning that heavier vehicles tend to consume more fuel. Engine capacity showed a moderate negative correlation of -0.28, while engine torque had a weak correlation of -0.11, indicating that torque plays a less critical role in determining fuel consumption under normal driving conditions. The regression analysis further confirmed that vehicle weight is the most influential factor, with reductions in weight providing the greatest potential for improving fuel efficiency. These findings have important implications for both manufacturers and consumers. Automotive manufacturers are encouraged to prioritize the use of lightweight materials and advanced engineering designs to enhance fuel efficiency. Additionally, consumers can use this information to make informed decisions when selecting MPVs, focusing on models with optimized weight to reduce fuel consumption. Overall, this study contributes to ongoing efforts to develop more sustainable and fuel-efficient vehicles in the automotive industry.
