PEVS 2026 projected to record transactions up to Rp500 billion

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Electric Vehicle Industry Association (Periklindo) announced that it would bring back the Periklindo Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS) 2026 from 29 October to 1 November 2026 at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. This year, the PEVS exhibition carries the theme ‘The Future of A Clean and Efficient Mobility’ and will run for four days, with a target to record transactions valued up to Rp500 billion. “Our transaction target for this year is Rp500 billion,” said Periklindo Chairman General (Ret.) Moeldoko in Jakarta on Thursday (21 May). The target reflects Indonesia’s positive growth in the shift from conventional to battery-powered vehicles due to its significant environmental impact and efficiency. In fact, according to figures released by the Association of Indonesia Automotive Manufacturers (Gaikindo), sales of EVs rose to 47,781 units from January to April 2026, up 89.4 percent on the previous year. Moeldoko hopes that this electrification-focused exhibition can make a tangible contribution to the growth of the EV industry and become a strategic platform for industry players by delivering a Business to Business (B2B), Business to Consumer (B2C), and Business to Government (B2G) ecosystem. “How we mobilise in a way that is efficient and clean can no longer be ignored. Especially amid geopolitical scenarios where oil prices can no longer be controlled. Our choice is to stay idle or to create breakthroughs. Hosting PEVS is one such breakthrough,” he said. The B2B programme will foster collaboration and business expansion among industry players, while B2C will give the public the opportunity to get to know electric vehicle technology up close through hands-on experiences and a range of educational information. To meet the needs of the B2B and B2G sectors, PEVS 2026 also aims to widen collaboration opportunities by connecting leaders in the electric vehicle industry, investors, government, and automotive enthusiasts. Last year, data showed that the exhibition was attended by 143 participants and attracted more than 40,000 visitors. This year, entry to the exhibition is free of charge for visitors who wish to explore the various breakthroughs in the future mobility industry.
