JAKARTA - The government continues to be committed to pursuing the Zero Emission (NZE) target in 2060, one of the efforts made is through the use of Battery-Based Electric Motorized Vehicles (KBLBB) to convert.

As is known, conversion is a conventional vehicle based on fuel oil (BBM) transformed into an electric motor, which will have a good impact on many people to the environment.

To accelerate the development of the KBLBB ecosystem, ESDM conducts training on workshops that will convert electric motorcycles, as well as socialization to the public to Conversion Technical Guidance in Bandung, West Java.

Devi said that conversion activities are part of energy conservation, which can have an impact on solvent savings, will create cost efficiency.

He further said that to prepare a conversion ecosystem, collaboration between agencies is needed. Starting with preparing an official workshop or being certified which is supervised.

"This step is also influential in the conversion program," he added.

Meanwhile, the Head of the West Java Province ESDM Office, Ai Sa'adiyah Dwidaningsih, fully supports the activities organized by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

"This is an opportunity for the community and is in line with the momentum of public interest in electric motors," he said.

As is known, the government has targeted 50 thousand electric motors and requires 42 certified workshops for this year, meanwhile for next year the conversion target is 150,000 units with the need for a conversion workshop of 125 workshops.
