The company is committed to supporting Indonesia's target to achieve net zero emissions by 2060 through the expansion of electric motorcycle use. "I think electric motorcycles are one of the options to reduce pollution," explained Terang Dunia Internusa's Director, Andrew Mulyadi, in his statement, Tuesday (30/1),

UNTD targets the production of 60,000 electric motorcycles in 2024. Andrew Mulyadi said UNTD continues to strive to increase electric motorcycle sales this year. This is based on the still minimal sales of electric motorcycles due to low demand. "This year's target is 60,000 because last year we only produced a few thousand," said Andrew, after a public presentation, some time ago. 

He is confident that with government incentives and ease of financing, the growth of electric motorcycle sales will continue to increase in the coming years. The government provides incentives of IDR 7 million for each purchase of a new electric motorcycle with the provision of 1 NIK KTP for 1 unit of electric motorcycle.

For electric motorcycle users, in addition to contributing to preserving the earth and the environment from the potential climate disaster crisis, this choice is also very economical. There are no major maintenance costs attached to electric motorcycles, unlike conventional motorcycles that regularly need to change oil and several other spare parts.

However, this does not mean that electric motorcycles are maintenance-free. Attention needs to be paid to several components to maintain the durability and performance of electric motorcycles.

"Electric motorcycles still need maintenance, but it's not as complicated as gasoline motorcycles, much easier. The most important thing is about the battery and electricity," revealed Andry Dwinanda, General Manager of PT Terang Dunia Internusa Tbk.
