Jakarta \u2014 A flying car from Xpeng attracted attention at the\nIndonesia International Motor Show 2026. During a visit to the\nexhibition, the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional\nDevelopment, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), highlighted the potential\nuses of the vehicle. According to AHY, the flying car could be used not\nonly for mobility and recreation but also has the potential to support\nregional surveillance activities and emergency rescue operations.<\/p>\n
Hari Arifianto, VP Marketing Xpeng Indonesia, said discussions about\nthe flying-car technology did arise during AHY\u2019s visit to the Xpeng\nbooth. He explained the various capabilities of the vehicle, including\nrange and its utilisations. The aircraft has two main functions:\nrecreation and flexible mobility. In addition, the vehicle could be\ndeployed in emergency situations because air routes are deemed the\nfastest.<\/p>\n
\u2018If there is an emergency, the fastest transport is by air,\u2019 Hari\nsaid. The vehicle is capable of travelling around 70 kilometres on a\nsingle charge. That distance is considered sufficient for point-to-point\njourneys within the city area. \u201870 kilometres one-way is enough to\nreach, for example, the city centre, from forests, to recreational spots\naround Jakarta heading to central Jakarta,\u2019 Hari added. He noted the\nflying car is designed to operate autonomously and fly at low altitudes,\nbelow 500 metres.<\/p>\n
Yet Xpeng emphasised that the technology remains an offer of a future\nmobility solution rather than a current product.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/xpengs-flying-car-can-be-used-for-recreation-or-in-emergencies-1772884729", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
