## World Today News Interview: Hybrid Car Incentives in Indonesia
**Host**: Welcome back to World Today News. Today, we are discussing the exciting news regarding potential incentives for hybrid cars in Indonesia. We are joined by two distinguished guests:
* **Mr. Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita:** The Indonesian Industry Minister, who has been instrumental in proposing these incentives.
* **Mr. Nangoi:** Representing the Indonesian Automobile Industry Association (Gaikindo), bringing valuable insights from the industry perspective.
Thank you both for being here.
**Mr. Kartasasmita & Mr. Nangoi**: Thank you for having us.
**Host**: Let’s dive right in. Mr. Minister, could you elaborate on the proposed incentives for hybrid cars and the rationale behind their introduction?
**Mr. Kartasasmita**: Certainly. As the article highlights, my team has proposed incentives for hybrid vehicles, likely in the form of a scheme similar to the previous PPnBM DTP program. This is a crucial step towards encouraging the adoption of cleaner vehicle technology in Indonesia. The specifics, including the exact amount, are still under discussion with other relevant government bodies.
**Host**: Those are encouraging words. Mr. Nangoi, how would you say these potential incentives will impact the automotive sector in Indonesia?
**Mr. Nangoi:** We at Gaikindo are very positive about these developments. The automotive industry has been significantly impacted by the recent economic slowdown, leading to a reduction in sales targets.
**Host**: Could you elaborate on the impact of the recession on the automotive sector and how these incentives could potentially mitigate it?
**Mr. Nangoi**: Sure. The revised sales target represents a loss of approximately IDR 10.6 trillion and has affected approximately 1.5 million people who rely on the automotive sector directly or indirectly.
**Host**: That paints a clear picture of the severity of the situation. Mr. Minister, what is the estimated timeline for the implementation of these incentives, and what impact do you foresee on hybrid car sales and adoption in Indonesia?

**Host**: Mr. Nangoi, Gaikindo has been advocating for a diverse approach to vehicle technology. How do these incentives align with that vision?
**Mr. Nangoi**: We believe in a multi-pronged approach to vehicle technology. While electric vehicles (EVs) hold great promise, hybrid technology offers an important bridge for consumers during this transition. It’s crucial to support all viable options to ensure a smooth and sustainable shift towards a greener automotive future.
**Host**: The article mentions concerns about Indonesia potentially losing hybrid car manufacturing investments to other countries. How significant is this risk, and could these incentives help mitigate it?
**Mr. Nangoi**:
The risk of losing investments is real, and we need to ensure Indonesia remains an attractive destination for hybrid car manufacturing. Incentives play a vital role in achieving this.
**Host**: Thank you both for sharing your valuable insights. It seems these potential incentives for hybrid cars represent a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the automotive industry in Indonesia. It will be interesting to see how these developments unfold.
