Jakarta –
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto attended the opening of the 2023 GIIAS (Gaikindo Indonesia International Autu Show) exhibition at ICE-BSD City, Tangerang (10/8). Airlangga, who visited the Chery booth, also saw Chery’s newest electric car first hand, Room 5 EV. He also requested that this electric car could later be exported to Australia.
Car manufacturer from China, Chery, also showcased several of its newest car line-ups. One of them is the Chery Omoda 5 EV which is an electric version of the crossover Chery Omoda 5. This car will be sold in Indonesia, as well as assembled locally in Indonesia.
“This car is a full EV. Starting at the end of the consignee year,” said Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita while accompanying the Coordinating Minister for Airlangga around the APM booths at GIIAS 2023, Thursday (10/8/2023).
The Coordinating Minister for Airlangga added that the Chery Omoda EV car, which will be assembled in Indonesia, is also expected to be exported to Australia.
“Exports to Australia as well. So the right-hand drive will be produced here (Indonesia),” said Airlangga.
Previously, Head of Public Relations of Chery Sales Indonesia, Rifkie Setiawan, ensured that the Omoda 5 EV would be produced locally in Indonesia and marketed starting next year.
“We have a production plan (Omoda 5 EV in Indonesia) at the end of the year (2023). For sales, it is likely next year (2024). We will produce here, the factory is at Pondok Ungu in Bekasi,” Rifkie told reporters some time ago.
Rifkie also explained that currently the production capacity is around 2,000 units per month, so this capacity will be maximized later with several new Chery products that will be present in Indonesia.
The Chery Omoda 5 EV was first introduced at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show last April. This car can reach a distance of up to 450 km when the battery is fully charged. This car has a power of 150 kW (204 PS) and 400 Nm, with a battery capacity of 64 kWh.
