JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesia's Industry Ministry is aiming to accelerate the growth of the battery-based electric motorized vehicle (KBLBB) ecosystem to reduce fuel consumption.

"Regarding the technology development in KBLBB, we are pushing to accelerate the growth of its ecosystem in Indonesia," the ministry's Secretary General Dody Widodo said at the “2023 Indonesia Leading Economic Forum 2023” seminar in Jakarta on Tuesday, March 14.

It is hoped that the KBLBB production target for 2035 of producing one million electric cars – which could help slash oil consumption by 12.5 million barrels – will be realized, he added.

By 2035, the ministry also expects the production of electric motorcycles to reach 12 million, which could help reduce oil consumption by 18.86 million barrels.
