The Ministry Of Energy And Mineral Resources Frees The Conversion Of 500 Motorcycle Units. Here Are The Conditions!

JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) provides an opportunity for the public to convert fuel oil motorcycles (BBM) into electric motorcycles for free.

This program can be followed by the general public who live in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) areas, and is carried out in stages, starting August 1, 2024.

"The free conversion program will be carried out in stages, where the Free Phase 1 Conversion will start on August 1, 2024 until the quota is met, which is 500 motorbikes," said Head of the Bureau of the Ministry of Communication, Public Information and Cooperation Service (KLIK) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Agus Cahyono Adi, Friday, August 2.

Agus said the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources would cover the cost of converting motorbikes of Rp. 16 million per unit. This fee does not include physical check fees, vehicle registration fees, and vehicle reconditioning costs outside of conversion work.

"So what will be free of charge is the cost of converting motorbikes of Rp. 16 million per unit," he explained.
