“The final target for 2023 is that domestic sales will reach 6.1 million and I also encourage exports to increase so that we are on par with last year’s figure of 743 thousand units,” said Minister of Industry Agus in his speech at ICE BSD, Tangerang, Wednesday (25/10/2023 ).

“Based on the KBLBB R2 registration until September 2023, based on registration data for electric motorbikes, there are 67 thousand units in the community. Of course, as an effort to speed up the government’s release of various regulatory programs, one of which is providing assistance or discounts of IDR 7 million per unit for electric two-wheeled vehicles,” he said .
