Meanwhile, the General Chairman of Gaikindo, Yohannes Nangoi said that motor vehicle manufacturers continue to strive to increase the Domestic Content Level that currently has reached more than 80 percent. The goal is to reduce dependence on imports.
“The Indonesian automotive industry is improving itself, continuing to encourage the use of domestic components. So, it becomes an attractive place for investors. And the most important thing is reducing imports and continue to push the value of exports,” Yohannes Nangoi explained.
One of the areas highlighted at this exhibition is the EV Test Track, where visitors can see first-hand 13 passenger and commercial electric vehicles as well as 10 electric motorcycle models. Some can also be tried on location.
"The GIIAS 2022 event will provide information and education about the electric vehicle ecosystem through various programs, one of which is the EV Test Track," Yohannes Nangoi remarked.
As information, GIIAS 2022 tickets are only available on the Auto360 application, with visitor attendance divided into two sessions each day to ensure there are no crowds in the exhibition entrance area.
