Two-wheelers come first in Indonesia’s EV strategy

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s state-owned electric vehicle (EV) company is focusing on the more than 115 million motorcycles roaming the country’s roads as it presses ahead with efforts to reduce emissions.

To get started, Indonesia Battery Corp (IBC) plans to produce 50,000 battery packs for two-wheelers next year, president director Toto Nugroho said in an interview on the sidelines of the Bloomberg NEF Summit.
