BYD Expands Education Support Programme to 45 Cities in Indonesia
PT BYD Motor Indonesia is expanding its social programme in the field of education through an initiative titled ‘Small Steps for Tomorrow’, conducted in collaboration with the philanthropy platform BenihBaik. The programme is designed to help meet school needs and support access to education for children in various regions across Indonesia.
Eagle Zhao, President Director of PT BYD Motor Indonesia, stated that the programme is now entering an expansion phase with a broader scope. Through cooperation with its dealer network, the programme aims to reach 4преде 45 cities in Indonesia to target more schools and students in need.
According to Zhao, BYD Indonesia views sustainability not only as being related to technological development but also as encompassing contributions to society, particularly the younger generation. “Every BYD vehicle sold becomes part of our contribution to expanding the reach of this programme,” Zhao said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday (13/06/2026).
The ‘Small Steps for Tomorrow’ programme has previously distributed 1,200 pairs of shoes and school bags to students in several regions. This assistance was provided gradually to 12 schools spread across Bekasi, Bogor, Depok, Serang, Semarang, Kediri, Bali, and Lampung.
The implementation of the programme commenced with activities at SDN 03 Pondok Petir, Depok. The event was attended by the Deputy Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Fajar Riza Ul Haq, the Head of the Depok City Education Office, Wahid Suryono, representatives from BenihBaik, the BYD dealer network, and company management.
In addition to running educational programmes in Indonesia, BYD also revealed several social initiatives conducted at a global level. In 2024, the company allocated 3 billion yuan in educational funds to support the development of education and technology, including through collaborations with dozens of universities and science museums in China.
In Indonesia, the Chinese-based company noted that it has carried out several other social activities, including aid for communities affected by floods in several areas, mangrove planting alongside electric vehicle user communities, and new energy vehicle technology education programmes at various universities.
Luther Panjaitan, Head of Public and Government Relations at PT BYD Motor Indonesia, stated that the company strives to deliver broader benefits through various social and educational programmes. He noted that the use of technology and innovation must go hand in hand with contributions to society and the environment.
Furthermore, BYD also noted the growth of its new energy vehicle business both globally and in Indonesia. As of May 2026, the company reported selling over 16.5 million new energy vehicles in more than 121 countries and regions. In Indonesia, the number of vehicles delivered to consumers is reported to have reached over 91,000 units, alongside the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and the development of the national electrification ecosystem.
