Jakarta \u2013 Indonesia\u2019s national automotive industry is recognised as\nhaving substantial potential in meeting commercial vehicle requirements\nwhilst delivering widespread economic impact.<\/p>\n
This is evident from the increasingly diverse range of commercial\nvehicles offered by automotive manufacturers, including innovations\nspanning conventional engine technology through to electric\nvehicles.<\/p>\n
Ricky Christian, Marketing Director of Wuling Motors, stated that if\nIndonesia\u2019s automotive industry is capable of meeting commercial vehicle\ndemands, this would certainly generate positive multiplier effects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is because there are already several domestic automotive\nmanufacturers operating in the commercial segment, possessing supply\nchains and service networks supported by competent local labour,\u201d\nChristian said in an official statement in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
In the light commercial vehicle (LCV) segment, the Formo Max has been\nintroduced as a pick-up designed to support business productivity. This\nvehicle features a 1,500 cc front-mounted engine capable of generating\n98 horsepower with 140 newton-metres of torque. This performance is\ncombined with a large cargo bed measuring 2,695 mm by 1,725 mm, which\ncan be opened from three sides to facilitate loading and unloading.<\/p>\n
Beyond load capacity, the Formo Max also offers comfort comparable to\npassenger vehicles. Features including air conditioning, electric power\nsteering (EPS), and power windows are fitted to support driver comfort\nduring daily distribution activities. On the safety front, the vehicle\nis equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic\nbrakeforce distribution (EBD).<\/p>\n
The Mitra EV possesses cargo capacity of up to 6.5 cubic metres with\nexpansive cargo space. This vehicle is claimed to travel up to 400\nkilometres on a single charge according to CLTC standards.<\/p>\n
To support practical mobility, a fast-charging feature allows the\nbattery to charge from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in approximately 30\nminutes. This model is available in two variants: a blind van for\nlogistics requirements and a minibus for passenger transport.<\/p>\n
The introduction of the Formo Max and Mitra EV is also supported by\nlocal production facilities and an after-sales service network\ndistributed across various Indonesian regions, which is expected to\nsustainably support the mobility requirements of business operators.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/commercial-vehicle-sector-drives-national-economic-growth-1773406483", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
