JAKARTA - International activities at the 42nd ASEAN Summit will be held in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), today.

In this regard, the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Industry (Kemenperin) opens the opportunity to cooperate with Myanmar in terms of electric vehicles (EV).

"I heard that Myanmar has started opening (EV) products into its country and we know that no (EV) industry exists in Myanmar or other countries besides Myanmar," said Minister of Industry (Menperin) Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita when met by media crews at the Ministry of Industry Building, Tuesday, May 9.

Agus emphasized that Myanmar is one of the countries that Indonesia has seen as the purpose of exporting electric vehicles in the ASEAN region.

This is because there has been no further development of electric vehicles in the country. "Of course, it is a potential from Indonesia to be able to send EV vehicles into the market in ASEAN," he added.

Furthermore, said Minister of Industry Agus, many markets in the ASEAN region have not produced EV vehicles, both four-wheelers and two-wheelers.

So, with these activities, it can open up opportunities for Indonesia to become one of the countries that supplies electric vehicles.

"We have produced two types of four-wheeled vehicles for electric vehicles. As for the motorbikes that have participated in our program, 11 products," he said.

"So, we have been able to send a lot to countries in areas that have started to open up to using EVs, but have not prepared their production in the country," concluded Agus.
