VIVA – The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) focuses on the development of Electric Vehicles 2020-2040. BRIN also invites all stakeholders, including industry, to invest in strengthening the autonomous electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.
According to the Head of BRIN, Laksana Tri Handoko at the Soft Launching of the Indonesia Electric Motos Show (IEMS) 2022 on Wednesday, July 20 2022, BRIN wants to encourage innovation and growth in the autonomous vehicle sector and expected to collaborate well.
“Through the theme of IEMS 2022 Strengthening Autonomous Ecosystem, BRIN wants to encourage various parties to become part of the ecosystem that will encourage innovation and growth in the autonomous vehicle sector. It’s hoped that this will help create new value propositions that are formed through collaboration," Laksana Tri Handoko at the BJ Habibie BRIN Building, Jakarta.
The development of electric vehicles is carried out to fulfil the 2020-2024 National Research Priority (PRN) for Electric Vehicles that focuses on mastering key autonomous vehicle technologies, such as object or sensor detection systems, telecommunications systems, human-vehicle interaction, and computer vision.

The development of electric vehicles in the previous era was focused on mastering the technology of key components, such as electric motors, batteries, control systems or power electronics, platforms, and electric vehicle charging station systems.
Laksana Tri Handoko explained that in the next few years, autonomous or driverless vehicles will become the vehicle standard in many countries, including Indonesia.
For this reason, BRIN through the Electronics and Informatics Research Organization is developing environmentally friendly autonomous electric vehicles, namely autonomous vehicles that can be used at airports, campuses, and other public sectors later.
The autonomous vehicle represents the concept of a remotely driven Micro Electric Vehicle Teleoperated Driving System (MEViTDS).
The potential implementation of autonomous vehicles for one or two passengers can be used in limited areas or special areas, such as botanical gardens, tourist attractions, residential areas, industries, and offices.
Laksana Tri Handoko said autonomous vehicles can also be used as carriers for mass transportation in the special area. He also said technology-based solutions to strengthen the autonomous electric vehicle ecosystem require strong internal relationships between the upstream sector and various relevant stakeholders.
