Indonesia has ambitious goal to achieve zero carbon emission by 2060. Within this ambitios goal, Indonesia has taken the path to electric vehicles since President Joko Widodo in late 2019 issued a decree detailing the timeline to achieve a certain amount of EVs as public transport means and private uses. Up until this year, there are quite a lot of types of electric vehicles that have penetrated and developed in the Indonesian market. Broadly speaking, here are the 3 types of EV that already exist in Indonesia: Passenger vehicles, Commercial vehicles and Two wheelers. Indonesia ambitious 17 billion usd roadmap on EV to reach 2.1 million electric motorcycle and 400k electric cars of which 20% are locally manufactured and it is by 2025.

Based on the road map, Indonesia's Ministry of Industry continues to strive to accelerate the development of electric-based vehicles and ecosystems in Indonesia. Most recent development in Indonesia, that in 2021, LG Chemical, a company from South Korea sign USD 8.7 billion investment agreement with Indonesia government to develop electric battery industry in Indonesia. With this development, we feel that this is the right time to start exploring this business opportunity and build our Finnish companies ecosystem to be integrated in early phase with local stakeholders in Indonesia.

The phase of transition to EV is also spured by the growing initiatives in biofuel space which led by Pertamina, a state own company in oil and gas sector. Recently revealed, Pertamina together with Longitude Engineering supporting the Asian Development Bank carried out a feasibility study to develop a roadmap for the integration of low carbon fuels into the domestic shipping industry.
