JAKARTA - The Great Wall Motor (GWM) will launch two hybrid vehicle models for the Indonesian market in the first quarter of this year (2024), namely Tank 500 and Haval.

In addition, the company also plans to introduce pure electric vehicles to the Indonesian market. One of the pure electric models that will be presented is Ora 03, which was previously exhibited at the GIIAS 2023 event.

However, GWM is still studying the BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) regulation in Indonesia to evaluate the opportunity to enter the segment. This was revealed by the General Manager of PT Indochape Indomobil Energi Baru, Constatinus Herlijoso.

"The regulation on the BEV was only decided at the beginning of last year, and we are currently evaluating the opportunity," he said when interviewed in Senayan, Tuesday, February 20.

Furthermore, he hopes that the GWM Indonesia review of entering the BEV segment will be completed soon, and when asked if the presence of Ora 03 will occur this year, he expressed optimism.

"We hope Ora 03 can attend this year," he added.

Apart from Ora 03, another electric car planned to be brought to Indonesia is the Lightning Cat Ora, which has also been launched in Thailand.

"Yes, the presence of the Ora Lightning Cat is indeed included in our plan," he said.

As additional information, in Thailand, the Lightning Cat is known as Ora 07. This car is sold starting from 1,299,000 baht or around Rp570 million, and is available in two variants. The entry-level ora 07 variant is equipped with an electric motor on the front which is capable of generating 204 hp of power and has a NEDC range of 640 km per charge. While the second variant of Ora 07 has a power of 408 hp and a NEDC range of 550 km.
