JAKARTA - The Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo) has opened its voice regarding President Prabowo Subianto's target of wanting Indonesia to own a homemade car within three years.

Chairman I Gaikindo Jongkie Sugiarto said Gaikindo fully supports the national car program launched by the government.

"We, Gaikindo, support the Government's program regarding Indonesian Cars. We are waiting for the rules and requirements first," he told VOI, Wednesday, October 22.

For your information, the government is trying to realize the independence of the national automotive industry. In fact, President Prabowo Subianto targets Indonesia in three years to own its own homemade car.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not yet an achievement but we have started to getrintis. We will have a car made in Indonesia in the next 3 years," Prabowo said at the Plenary Cabinet Session at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday, October 20.

This big ambition has begun to be moved. The government has not only prepared a concept, but has also allocated special funds and land to support the realization of the project.

Prabowo also said that the construction of a national car factory is in the preparation stage, seriously worked on by a development team that has been specially formed to ensure the production of domestically made vehicles runs according to the target.

"I've allocated the funds, we've prepared the land for the factories. We're working now on the team. We've produced a sweater made in Indonesia," he said.
