The investment commitment was conveyed by the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Toyota Motor Corporation Shigeru Hayakawa in a meeting with Airlangga in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday (26/7/2022).

“I believe that the demand for electric vehicles, both four-wheeled and two-wheeled in Indonesia and in the ASEAN region in the future, will continue to increase. Indonesia can be used as an industrial base for electric vehicle (EV) production to be marketed in the ASEAN region and in Indonesia itself,” Airlangga said in a statement. his statement, Wednesday (27/7/2022).
