        "summary": "Electric vehicle sales at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026 reached 36 per cent of total transactions, significantly outpacing the national electric vehicle market share of approximately 12 per cent. The show generated total transactions of 8.7 trillion rupiah, with strong consumer demand driven by pre-Ramadan purchasing for holiday travel, though experts note that widespread charging infrastructure development is essential to sustain this momentum in the broader market.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS), held from\n5\u201315 February 2026, recorded a significant surge in electric vehicle\nsales.<\/p>\n<p>From total transaction value of 8.7 trillion rupiah during the show,\nelectric vehicles contributed 36 per cent \u2013 a figure far exceeding the\nnational electric vehicle market share throughout 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Dyandra Promosindo Project Manager Rudi MF explained that this year\u2019s\ntransaction composition remained dominated by automobiles. \u201cSupporting\nindustries or aftermarket also feature, but the figures are not\nsubstantial even though they rose by approximately 3 per cent in rupiah\nterms compared to last year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In nominal terms, total IIMS 2026 transactions rose approximately 700\nbillion rupiah compared to the previous year. The 8.7 trillion rupiah\nfigure does not even include transactions from the boating segment.<\/p>\n<p>Rudi added that the majority of show buyers came from the retail\nsegment, consistent with the show\u2019s business-to-consumer (B2C)\norientation. The pre-Ramadan momentum also served as a driving factor,\nas many consumers purchased vehicles for holiday travel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom total automobile transactions of 80 per cent of the 8.7\ntrillion rupiah, the composition is 36 per cent electric vehicles. Last\nyear was also in the 30s. At the Jakarta show the absorption is 36 per\ncent, whereas nationally it might be around 12 per cent at most,\u201d Rudi\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour international show organisers also visited, such as Thailand\nMotor Expo, and they said that the EV phenomenon there is more\nremarkable, with sales already above 40 per cent because the\ninfrastructure has likely been completed,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Consumer enthusiasm at this event demonstrates that interest in\nelectric vehicles is in fact quite strong. The remaining challenge is\nensuring infrastructure and ecosystem readiness so that market\npenetration can match, or even exceed, the achievements seen at the\nshow.<\/p>",
