Jakarta, 25 July 2024 – Gentari Green
Mobility is now set to grow its Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) and
charging point solutions in Indonesia. Its subsidiary PT Gentari
Green Mobility Fleet has signed an agreement with PT Energi Selalu
Baru (ESB), a subsidiary of PT NFC Indonesia Tbk (IDX: NFCX),
MCASH Group, to collaborate on electric vehicle (EV) fleet
solutions. Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding between PT
Gentari Green Mobility Charge and Indonesia’s national
utility company, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) (PLN),
will see the parties jointly expanding EV charging infrastructure
in the country.
In collaboration with MCASH Group,
Gentari Green Mobility is currently focusing on two-wheel EVs,
offering co-branded electric motorcycles through a VaaS
subscription model, supported by a network of Battery Swapping
Stations (SGB). To date, a fleet of 300 electric motorcycles has
been deployed across key regions of Jakarta, Tangerang, West Java
and East Java, and 30 Battery Swapping Stations have been
activated in Jakarta, Tangerang, Depok and Bekasi. Gentari Green
Mobility and MCASH Group aim to significantly expand this fleet
and the number of Battery Swapping Stations by the end of 2024.
Meanwhile,
Gentari Green Mobility is collaborating with PLN to jointly
develop public EV charging points, in support of the
Government’s aim to accelerate EV adoption and expand
charging infrastructure. To kick off the collaboration, a joint
study will be conducted on the technical, business and commercial
aspects of deploying public EV charging infrastructure, followed
by a pilot project and subsequent rollout. Currently, Gentari
Green Mobility is set to initiate deployment of charging points in
strategic locations across Java, including malls, condominiums,
commercial areas, and highways.
Senthil Balan, Chief Venture Officer of Gentari Green Mobility,
commented, “In Indonesia, Gentari Green Mobility is
dedicated to supporting the growth of the country’s EV
ecosystem by making the transition to EVs easier and more
accessible. We are committed to building partnerships and
collaborations with local companies to help achieve the
nation’s climate goals, including net-zero emissions by
2060, as the country advances towards becoming the world’s
fourth-largest economy by 2045. This aligns with Gentari Green
Mobility’s goal to become Asia Pacific’s leading
green mobility solutions partner.”
