The transition of Jakarta's transit system to electric buses is gaining momentum, with local coachbuilder Karoseri Laksana and VKTR partnering to produce Indonesian-built battery-electric buses. The integration of 15 electric buses into active service by Transjakarta marked a significant milestone in the region's commercial EV shift, showcasing the Southeast Asian bus manufacturing ecosystem at Busworld Southeast Asia. Chinese and European manufacturers are also making moves to introduce electric buses in Indonesia, with plans to adapt to the country's long-haul highway corridors and inter-island ferry routes. The Jakarta provincial government aims to have the entire Transjakarta network running on electric power by 2030, creating new technical job opportunities and training programs, including efforts to bring more women into the industry. The expansion of electric buses in Jakarta is being closely watched by neighboring ASEAN transit authorities, indicating a shift towards commercial fleet electrification in Southeast Asia.
