President Prabowo Subianto will inaugurate the National Electric Motorcycle Ecosystem (MOLINAS) today. The ecosystem is being established at the production facility of PT Ilectra Motor Group (ALVA) in Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, West Java.

Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said that during the event, President Prabowo will inspect the production and exhibition facilities, receive a report on the development of MOLINAS, watch a video presentation about the programme, and deliver directives.

“This activity will be one of the steps to strengthen the development of the national electric motorcycle industry and encourage the formation of an integrated electric vehicle ecosystem,” Prasetyo said in his statement on Thursday, 13 August 2026.

The event will also be followed by the launch of the MOLINAS ecosystem and the signing of a joint commitment among stakeholders. MOLINAS is not merely the launch of a single brand or vehicle model, but will be developed as a national ecosystem.

The ecosystem will encompass industrial and manufacturing development, components and batteries, charging and battery swap infrastructure, financing, distribution, after-sales services, and strengthening market absorption. PT Len Industri will serve as the lead integrator to orchestrate collaboration among stakeholders in developing the ecosystem.

Prasetyo said the development of this ecosystem is expected to strengthen industrial downstreaming, increase domestic manufacturing capacity and supply chains, and open opportunities for job creation as well as the involvement of MSMEs and cooperatives.

“At the same time, the development of electric motorcycles will be directed towards supporting energy security by reducing dependence on fuel oil and increasing the utilisation of electrical energy,” he said.

The inauguration of MOLINAS, he continued, will be the starting point of a national electric motorcycle ecosystem development process that needs to be continued in a gradual and measured manner.

According to Prasetyo, the most important thing after the inauguration is to ensure that industrial development, supply chains, infrastructure, financing, and market absorption can proceed in an integrated and sustainable manner.

“The government hopes that the development of MOLINAS can encourage the growth of an increasingly strong electric motorcycle industry, increase domestic added value, and provide broader benefits for society and the national economy,” he said.
