JAKARTA (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Chinese and South Korean carmakers are leading Indonesia's drive towards green mobility by producing electric vehicles (EV) locally that may be sold at affordable prices in a market traditionally dominated by the Japanese.

China's SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile launched a mini electric car, Wuling Air EV, at the 11-day Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show last Thursday (Aug 11) in South Tangerang, Banten.
