JAKARTA - The Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi is working for electric vehicles in Indonesia to become a bulk need. This was conveyed by the Minister of Transportation when visiting an electric vehicle exhibition held by the Directorate General of Land Transportation in collaboration with several companies and communities of electric vehicle activists in East Bekasi.
"We want electric vehicles to become a mass necessity. The President, through Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for Road Transportation, has mandated that we should aim for the use of electric vehicles", he said in a statement, Sunday, April 18.
According to the Minister of Transportation, he explained that his party had followed up on the Presidential Decree by making several derivative regulations, including those related to physical type testing, and the conversion of motorbikes with fuel driving into battery-based electric motorbikes.
"We will also make a Road Map, which targets that by 2030 electric vehicles will have been significantly used by the public", he said.
He further revealed that several other concrete efforts that have been made include the use of electric buses through the Buy The Service Program in several cities such as Bali, Surabaya, Bandung, Surabaya, and Medan. As an initial stage, the use of environmentally friendly transportation will be used for transportation such as Transjakarta and Damri.
"I have coordinated with the Minister of State-Owned Corporation and the Managing Director of PLN (State Electricity Enterprise) to build more battery-based electric vehicle charging stations", he added.
For information, several government agencies, both ministries, and agencies have been recorded using electric vehicles in work operational activities.
It is hoped that this initiative will also be an effort to create a greener environment and can improve air quality in Indonesia.
It was stated that the Minister of Transportation visited Bekasi using the mass transportation mode of electric rail or KRL from Jatinegara Station, Jakarta. When he arrived, the Minister of Transportation tested an electric motorcycle made by a national entrepreneur brand E-Mostra.
