JAKARTA - From the beginning of entering Indonesia, the Chinese automotive giant BYD emphasized that it was not only aimed at selling its flagship vehicles in the domestic market but also committed to investing in producing electric cars locally, aka opening factories in Indonesia.

As previously reported by VOI, the factory is located in Subang, West Java and it was revealed that the construction process had started. This was revealed by PT BYD Motor Indonesia's from Marketing & Communication, Luther Panjaitan.

So how will the construction of the BYD factory in Indonesia continue?

"All roads are on track and yesterday we just had a meeting to update reports to government institutions and they are happy with our progress," said Luther, when met in the Jakarta area, recently.

He further revealed that the details had not been disclosed, but progress was evident to date. In addition, programs with the government are also still running.

Luther also stated that later models that already exist in Indonesia will be assembled at the factory. This means that the four existing models such as Dolphin, Atto 3, Seal and M6 will be assembled locally.

"Indeed, in the investment commitment, we must produce imported vehicles in Indonesia, whether the specifications are the same or more than the existing ones," he concluded.
