BGN Chief States Electric Motorcycles for SPPG Units are Domestic Products with 48.5% Local Content

The Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana, stated that the procurement of electric motorcycles for the Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) is a domestic product with a Domestic Component Level (TKDN) of 48.5 per cent. Dadan explained that all units of these motorcycles are produced at a manufacturing facility located in Citeureup, West Java. “This is part of our efforts not only to support programme operations but also to bolster the national industry through the use of domestic products with significant TKDN,” Dadan said in an official statement in Jakarta on Thursday. Currently, all the vehicles are in the administrative completion stage as State Goods (BMN) before being distributed to beneficiaries in the field. Distribution will be carried out gradually and in accordance with operational needs in each region. “These electric motorcycles have not yet been distributed. We are ensuring that all administrative processes, including recording as BMN, are completed first to ensure their use is orderly, transparent, and accountable,” he added. Previously, when met ahead of a briefing with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday, 9 April, Dadan said the procurement of around 20,000 motorcycles for SPPG heads is targeted at regions with difficult transportation access. He explained that the procurement is part of the 2025 planning and has been realised with 21,801 units out of 25,000 ordered. “We will distribute them later for operations, for all personnel in SPPG, especially in difficult areas,” said the BGN Head, Dadan. When asked by reporters about the urgency of the procurement for SPPG heads, he explained that their use is mainly in regions with difficult transportation access to ensure the smooth distribution of Free Nutritious Meals (MBG).
