Heaptalk, Jakarta — The Indonesian Electric Vehicle Industry Association (Periklindo) in collaboration with Dyandra Promosindo presents the Periklindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS) 2024 from April 30 to May 5 at JIExpo Kemayoran.
Held for seven days, this exhibition adopts the theme of The Leading EV Show in Indonesia. With this spirit, PEVS 2024 is committed to being at the forefront in encouraging the use of technology and electric vehicles in Indonesia.
According to the Chief of Presidential Staff and General Chair of Periklindo Moeldoko, PEVS, which is one of Periklindo’s activities, aims for three matters, namely helping the government socialize the migration to EVs, accommodating promotional activities for EV brands, and being an educational tool to learn more about EV as well as its social and environmental impacts.
“I ask for these three matters to be carried out as well as possible, added with entertainment. I see that Periklindo is getting stronger as an organization over time, in its efforts to conduct activities that provide information to the public, and there are more and more participants,” Moeldoko voiced at a PEVS media gathering in South Jakarta (03/27).
