Heaptalk, Jakarta — The Indonesian government continues to deliberate on providing incentives for electric motorcycles.
“While discussions are ongoing, the government is considering extending the subsidy or incentives program with a different scheme next year. This is what we are currently working on,” said Eko Cahyanto, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Industry, in a written press statement on Sunday (12/22).
The 2024 electric motorcycle subsidy quota of Rp7 million per unit is nearly exhausted. According to data from the Two-Wheeled Electric Motor Vehicle Purchase Assistance Information System (SISAPIRa), as of Friday, only 11 units remain under the current allocation.
Furthermore, around 63,146 units were delivered to the public in 2024, and 11,532 units were distributed in 2023. An additional 605 units are still undergoing the registration process, while 62,541 units have already been disbursed.
Highlighting Domestic Electric Motorcycle Production
Several electric motorcycle brands in Indonesia boast a Domestic Content Level (TKDN) exceeding 60%, signifying their reliance on locally sourced components. These brands include:
- Tangkas E6 Box (64.30%)
- Tangkas P6 Pro (62.91%)
- Viar NX (64.54%)
- Viar EV1 (64.19%)
- Gesits Raya G (60.30%)
- Gesits G1 (60.56%)
- Alva Cervo (62.35%)
Tangkas stands out with its two models, the P6 Pro and E6 Box, which have both benefited from the government’s subsidy program. These models were developed in collaboration with Pindad, featuring a TKDN above 60%, underlining their domestic manufacturing strength.
Founder and CEO of PT Tangkas, Agung Pamungkas, emphasized the company’s dedication to advancing local production. “This can be verified directly at our production facilities. It reflects our commitment to promoting domestic products,” he stated, noting that even the batteries in Tangkas motorcycles are produced locally.
