In the presence of BYD Indonesia, its Indonesian dealer VKTR Group officially delivered 22 BYD electric buses to Mayasari, a local bus operator, on March 14. This marks a significant step towards the electrification of public transportation in Indonesia.

The 22 electric buses delivered this time will go into service on Transjakarta-operated bus routes, accelerating environmentally-friendly public transportation in Jakarta. Moving forward, BYD will bring more green mobility solutions in the course of achieving the country-wide public transportation electrification goal by 2030.

Tian Chunlong, President of the Commercial Vehicle Unit of BYD, said: “These 22 K9 electric buses are delivered to fill the second order and to show our commitment to the Indonesian market. BYD will keep providing green urban mobility solutions to Jakarta and Indonesia with our electric buses, minimizing energy consumption and emissions and envisaging a green mobility blueprint. ”

In 2022, BYD and VKTR Group announced their partnership with the Indonesian carrosserie manufacturer Tri Sakti to advance the industrialization of new energy vehicles in Indonesia. As part of this partnership, 30 BYD electric buses were shipped to Jakarta-based bus operator Transjakarta on March 8 2022. And that was the first electric bus fleet put into operation in the country.
