One of them is PT VKTR Teknologi\nMobilitas Tbk, known as a pioneer in developing the electric vehicle\nindustry.<\/p>\n<p>VKTR\u2019s President Commissioner, Anindya N. Bakrie, stated that Central\nJava is not just an investment location for VKTR, but a strategic\nfoundation for building the localisation of the national electric\nvehicle (EV) industry.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that Central Java is not merely an investment site, but a\nstrategic foundation in building an integrated national commercial\nelectric vehicle value chain, from manufacturing, supply chain, to\noperations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the readiness of the \u2018supply chain\u2019, especially the\nbodybuilding industry, as well as strong support from the regional\ngovernment, we see great potential to develop an integrated and\nsustainable commercial electric vehicle ecosystem from Indonesia for\nIndonesia,\u201d said Anindya during a talkshow session focused on \u2018Success\nStory in Investing and Developing Business in Central Java\u2019, as part of\nthe Central Java Investment Business Forum (CJIBF) 2026, quoted on\nTuesday, 12 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, VKTR has built an assembly facility in Magelang, Central\nJava, which currently has a production capacity of up to 3,000 units of\nelectric buses and trucks per year, with plans to expand to 10,000\nunits.
