JAKARTA - Electric car brands from China flock to Indonesia, and even plan to start local assembly in the country, including from Aion.

This Chinese brand will start local assembly of electric vehicle models in Indonesia starting next year (2025), as revealed by AION CEO Andry Ciu.

"Starting the assembly is next year's crew, and hopefully it can speed up the local production assessment," he said, when met in Bandung, West Java, recently.

Later the Y Plus model which will launch on GIIAS 2024 last July will be the first, and will cover all Aion models including the new model to be presented.

"Everything is gradual one by one, later it will be Y Plus and several other models," he added.

Andry revealed that the Aion car assembly itself will be carried out at a company-owned facility that is being built, the place is located in Cikampek, West Java.

"Later it will be assembled in Cikampek, with a capacity of 30,000 units and can still be added," he said.

Indeed, until now the Aion model in Indonesia is still imported completely Build Up (CBU) from China. The company will also meet the requirements for the domestic component level (TKDN) of 40 percent.
