PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional Tbk (Indomobil) has once again shaken up the Indonesian electric vehicle market. After introducing Citroen, Great Wall Motors, and Yadea, it is now cooperating with GAC Aion. The company is one of four subsidiaries of the Chinese automotive giant Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (GAC). In China, the brand competes with BYD and Tesla. Its presence is bound by a distribution agreement between GAC Aion New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. and the Indomobil Group. The President of the Indomobil Group revealed that in the initial phase, i.e., this year, at least two products will be launched in Indonesia, expected to begin in July 2024 (GIIAS 2024), and then by the end of the year, CKD (Completely Knocked Down) production will start immediately. These two models are the GAC Aion Y Plus and Hyper HT, because they suit the characteristics of Indonesian electric vehicle users and are affordably priced.
Later these models will be produced in existing facilities, of course with additional investment, but not too much, and can be produced quickly. The Managing Director of GAC Aion New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. is also very satisfied with this cooperation. In the long term, the company plans to build an electric vehicle ecosystem in the country. Currently, GAC Aion is one of the few automotive manufacturers in the world capable of independently researching, developing, and producing core technologies for batteries, motors, and electronic controls. As a subsidiary of GAC established in 2017, its goal is to become a world-class intelligent electric vehicle brand along the development path of EV and ICV. Indonesia itself is one of the countries with great potential among ASEAN nations, with a large population ranking fourth in the world and strong economic and industrial levels.
