"For SPKLU, currently we already have several candidates because yesterday we rolled off there are principals or partners who already have SPKLU who want to cooperate with Chery," he added.

On the same occasion, Harry Kamora, Vice President of Chery Sales Indonesia, said that for dealers who have SPKLU, they will be selected, so not all Chery dealers in Jabodetabek will implement this.
