IDXChannel - The Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (GAIKINDO) said that Indonesia could take advantage of its ASEAN chairmanship this year to develop an electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in the region.
According to GAIKINDO General Secretary Kukuh Kumara, Indonesia is able to lead the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in the ASEAN region. This is because Indonesia has abundant natural resources.
"If we cooperate with other countries in the region, we are optimistic that the electric vehicle ecosystem can be accelerated," Kukuh told IDX Channel Market Review program on Tuesday (9/5/2023).
Moreover, Kukuh believes that ASEAN is able to develop electric vehicles not only motorbikes or cars, but also buses and trucks.
"So net zero emissions can be achieved if Indonesia continues to commit to developing this in the long term," he added.
