KAI Logistics Prepare a strategy to face the surge of motorcycle shipments during the long holiday and new school year

Ahead of the long holiday and the new school year, Kai Logistik projects a surge in motorcycle shipments in the Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. Based on previous annual trends, the high mobility of students from outside the city is a major factor in increasing the demand for this service. Kalog Express, as a Kai Logistik retail transportation service, projects a surge in motorcycle shipping with an increase in volume to three times compared to a normal day. This pattern shows a consistent seasonal trend from year to year.

Kai Logistik Middle Region Manager, Sasongko Budiyanto, said that the peak of requests was expected to occur from the end of July to early August 2025, to coincide with the period of return of students to campus after semester holidays and also the momentum of the new school year. Based on previous annual trends, in a similar period last year, Kalog Express recorded a daily volume increase of up to three times compared to normal days. Under normal conditions, motor delivery in the Yogyakarta region usually only reaches around 210 units for three weeks. However, during the peak period which lasted about three weeks, the number could increase significantly to around 610 units. With a consistent seasonal pattern, a similar surge is expected to occur again this year. “

The surge in demand from the Yogyakarta region was also influenced by its status as a “student city”, which became the center of education with the number of well -known universities. Based on data from Bapperida Province DIY, the number of students and students in Yogyakarta in 2025 was recorded at more than 604 thousand people, both from local and outside students. “Students and travelers have become our main customer segment in Yogyakarta. With the large number of students who live outside the city, motorcycle delivery services are a major alternative, compared to having to travel long distances with motorbikes,” Sasongko said.

Sasongko also explained that the most popular motor delivery route from Yogyakarta covered the eastern region of Java such as Surabaya, Banyuwangi, to Bali. Meanwhile, for the western region, shipping is dominated to the cities of Bandung and Jakarta. Not only on the island of Java, demand also came from outside the island such as Sumatra, especially Tanjung Karang and Palembang.

KAI Logistik and the parent company continues to be the first choice of the community, especially through the Kalog Express service in shipping motorbikes with the support of a number of advantages offered, such as competitive prices, guaranteed delivery time (SLA), guaranteed protection guarantees through insurance and various seasonal promos that are routinely presented to increase customer satisfaction.

To anticipate the surge in motorcycle demand, especially during the peak of the holiday and the beginning of the new student school year, Kalog Express in the Yogyakarta region has prepared various strategic steps, including:

• Increased power

• Extension of operating hours until 22.00-24.00 WIB,

• Implementation of a layered security system, including the use of double packing (bubble wrap and cardboard) as well as the provision of motorcycle delivery insurance

“With a commitment to continue to innovate and improve service quality, Kalog Express hopes to become a reliable transportation partner for the community, especially students and travelers who need a safe, fast, and trusted motorcycle delivery solution.
