Periklindo: DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to deploy 10,000 electric buses by 2030
Jakarta (ANTARA) — General (Ret.) Moeldoko, chairman of the Indonesian Electric Vehicle Industry Association (Periklindo), said the Jakarta provincial government intends to deploy 10,000 TransJakarta buses by 2030. ‘The Governor (Pramono Anung) is keen to increase electric buses towards 10,000,’ Moeldoko said at a press conference for the launch of the Periklindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS 2026) in Jakarta on Thursday. He added that the realisation of the program would be carried out progressively, with an addition of around 2,000 electric buses per year. Additionally, using electric-powered fleets is expected to improve operational efficiency of public transport while offering passengers a more comfortable travel experience. He also noted that the Jakarta Provincial Government’s ambition to deploy electric buses can strengthen TransJakarta’s services, which are currently undergoing a transformation towards a low-emission transport system.
Alongside this, private companies are ready to support the Jakarta government’s initiative, spearheaded by PT Kalista Nusa Armada (Kalista Group) together with PT Energi Makmur Buana (INVI). Kalista Group and INVI have officially formed collaborations with three TransJakarta operators: PT Biro Perjalanan Wisata Pahala Kencana (Pahala Kencana), PT Bayuholong Persada (Bayu Holong), and Koperasi Jasa Angkutan Arief Rachman Hakim (Kopang ARH).
That collaborative model is designed to help address key challenges of implementing EVs in the public transport sector, from the high upfront investment and charging infrastructure to ongoing fleet operation sustainability. Kalista Group’s Chief Development Officer, Yoga Adiwinarto, said in a statement on Thursday that realising the capital-intensive ambition requires strategic synergy among stakeholders to tackle the major challenges. Through this collaboration, electric bus deployment can proceed more rapidly and measurably, delivering tangible benefits to the public via the public transport system and supporting the target of 100 percent electrification of TransJakarta by 2030 in a more efficient, modern, and sustainable manner.
