JAKARTA - PT JIO Distribution Indonesia, a Brand Holder Agent (APM) of the BAIC automotive brand, continues to expand its presence in the Indonesian automotive market. After successfully introducing the BJ80 model for market research, this company is now preparing to be more serious in developing its long-term business with plans to bring pure electric vehicles in 2026.

"We also have plans to bring electric car models, including SUVs and sedans, which will be present in 2026," said COO of PT JIO Indonesia Distribution, Dhani Yahya, when met in the Tangerang area, some time ago.

Dhani emphasized that to enter the pure electric car segment, BAIC will focus on models that comply with Indonesia's market demand and be able to compete with other brands.

"We have an Arcfox sedan and an SUV, so we'll just have to wait," added Dhani.

According to VOI monitoring, BAIC has several attractive electric models, such as the Arcfox Alpha S5 and Alpha T5, as well as the EU5 model that is already circulating in the global market. Until now, BAIC has marketed two models in Indonesia, namely BAIC BJ40 Plus and BAIC X55 II, and the company also plans to introduce a hybrid BJ30 Hybrid model to increase variations in the environmentally friendly vehicle segment.
