INDOPRIX is a series of national championships of motorcycle in Indonesia.
The event offers the world class level competition for "Moped" under-bone frame motorcycle with 125cc and 110cc at its top speed of 160km/h.
In final battle of total 5 series in circuit Balipat, Binuang in South Kalimantan, Yamaha racing team rider with Jupiter Z1, Sigit PD registered a victory.
Sigit became an annual champion after accumulating the highest total score with 182 points at 125cc, and 174 points at 110cc.
Yamaha Fuel Injection became the first to win two classes at INDOPRIX with Jupiter Z1 model, soon after Jupiter Z1 was released in 2012, two titles immediately rewarded in the first year.
Sigit P D of Yamaha Racing Indonesia said: "YAMAHA Jupiter Z1 is equipped with the latest proven Fuel Injection technology, which able to support for INDOPRIX machine with even more environmental performance."
Sudarmono of Yamaha Racing Indonesia said: "Fuel injection engine goes well as a racing machine for me. As the characteristics of the engine, it is very powerful in low to mid speed range, also it has great stability at the top speed by all means. The performance of Jupiter Z1 is very stable as a racing machine. It achieved low emission with greater combustion efficiency by the fuel injection engine."
Yamaha supports environmentally-efficient fuel injection with proven performance by adopting it for 80 per cent of the motorcycles model releasing in the Indonesian market.
It helps keep the environment clean and safe.
Koji Kobayashi, Manager, Technology Center, Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd., said: "I think the best part of Fuel Injection is that it can provide the right amount of fuel as much as required for the engine. By adopting Fuel Injection, it is proved that it can increase the fuel efficiency for 20 percent more than the conventional Carburetor."
Japan not only manufacture eco-friendly vehicles, but has been protecting environment through ancient times.
In Japan, 1.2 hundred million people lives in the land of mountainous, complicated and soft ground foundation.
And to protect themselves from and disaster caused by heavy rain, they protect the nature.
Nippon Steel and Sumikin Metal Products Corporation provides the innovative solution for slope stabilization against landslip.
It is called "Non-Frame Method".
Naoto Iwasa, Group Manager of Nippon Steel and Sumikin Metal Products Co., Ltd. said, "This is the "Non-Frame Method", Before in Japan concrete structure has been used for the slope stabilization. But in the nature, roots of the trees in the woods have function to stabilize the slope. The conventional methods were to deforestation and applied concrete. Our Non-Frame Method complements the stabilization function of the natural tress on the slope, by driving the steel stakes into the slope in order to stabilize the surface."
Non-Frame Method protects trees, so it protects regional geography and environment.
The method reduces 60-70 per cent of CO2 compares to the conventional methods.
In the last 15 years, the technique has protected an estimated 170,000 equivalent trees of the forest.
Non-Frame Method can be used across the world to protect Mother Nature.
