Toyota is committed to supporting the development of electrification technology in Indonesia. The goal is to reduce CO emissions2 and achieve the Indonesia Net Zero Emission (NEZ) target in 2060.
PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) director of corporate affairs, Bob Azam said Indonesia still needs a technology transition that is done in stages pending ecosystem readiness. So, to become carbon neutral, Toyota Indonesia takes a conceptual approach multi-paththat’s not just sticking to a battery electric car Battery electric vehicle (BEV), but also Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) e Plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).
“Earlier, Mr. Joni (ITS professor, Joni Hermana) said there is milestone that must be lived, we cannot jump. Like a newborn, he first learns to suck, then to drink, bite, chew, crawl, get up and then run. So it can’t just come and go, now there are process stages being built, “Bob said during a seminar on” Transitioning New Renewables to Net Zero Emissions (NZE) and its Challenges “at the Ten November Institute. of Technology (ITS), Surabaya, Tuesday (11/10/2022).

Japanese manufacturers are aggressively introducing hybrid and plug-in hybrid electrification technology, this car may be more efficient and environmentally friendly but still requires the help of fossil fuels. This electrification is also seen as an answer to the question about the unequal availability of infrastructure such as the Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station (SPKLU).
While South Korean manufacturers, Hyundai and China; Wuling, DFSK has already marketed electric cars for battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
Bob pointed out as if there is a struggle between BEVs and hybrid vehicles. In fact, any technology must be supported.
Village performance proof The closest that can be adopted is Thailand. Not only by providing incentives for electric cars, but the ecosystem was also built. Including the problem of handling used batteries that can be reused and sold at a lower price.
“How does the Thai government build an ecosystem of electric cars by building all the technology, if in us (Indonesia) there are fighting, hybrids and BEVs, when there are technologies fighting. Each of them supports each other to create a good ecosystem. ” Bob said.
“A month ago I was in Thailand, there was already a battery recycling there, so Toyota Thailand recycled 1,000 batteries a year. It was a second line of batteries, reused batteries, the price is only a third,” he said. .
“The ecosystem was formed because they developed a policy to build a good ecosystem. I think that’s what needs to be agreed on how to build a good ecosystem,” explained Bob.
The high price of electric cars is also affected by the high price of batteries. However, Bob said, governments in countries like the United States dared to concede massive price cuts, so that it wasn’t just zero-tax sales tax incentives on luxury goods (PPnBM).
“Indeed, there is now still a gap between consumer expectations and the costs that are being generated. Some (overseas) governments, particularly for electric vehicles, still get subsidies, even cashback subsidies. So it isn’t. luxury taxit is just reset, it is not enough, it must be added reimbursement“added Bob.
“So in the US, the local government in California gives USD 7,500, the central government is USD 2,500, that’s it reimbursementThey are Rp 100 million, in China they can reach up to Rp 200 million, in Thailand between Rp 25 million and Rp 50 million. So there it is reimbursement. Now the question is whether the government will do it or not reimbursement? Why are those with cars and motorbikes given subsidies instead of subsidies for basic necessities? This is a problem, “Bob said.
“Because these countries want to provide subsidies, the answer is not just the emissions problems that are being pursued, but they want to move in the face of change. They want to drive technological changes so that they benefit. Let’s get back to us, which is the most effective. (policy to encourage electrification) for Indonesia, “he explained.
