Yamaguchi Wrecker Co., Japan's leading tow truck supplier, is providing wreckers to local authorities in Indonesia so it can ease the country's heavy traffic jams.
The company says it has received an order for 44 small wreckers from the transportation agency of the DKI Jakarta provincial government, and plans to deliver the first batch of six before Saturday, when the Asian Games open.
The deal, valued at about ¥600 million ($5.4 million), will allow the local road transport authorities to nearly double the size of its 47-truck fleet.
