Indomobil to Introduce Leapmotor C10 Electric SUV to Indonesia

JAKARTA: PT Indomobil National Distributor is gearing up to launch the Leapmotor C10, an electric Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) designed with families in mind, into the Indonesian automotive market. This move signals a growing interest in electric vehicles (EVs) tailored for the needs of Indonesian consumers.

Indomobil is currently in discussions with Stellantis to solidify the partnership for bringing the C10 to Indonesia. The plan involves assembling the vehicle through a completely knocked down (CKD) process, a strategy that aligns with Indonesia's national automotive industry policies, including local component content requirements (TKDN). This approach is crucial for meeting government regulations and potentially reducing costs.

Indeed, the C10 is known as a family SUV that highly values human tech.

The Leapmotor C10 boasts a 4,739 mm long body, offering ample cabin space, and utilizes Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified interior materials, ensuring safety for passengers, including children. Its Cell-to-Chassis (C2C) technology integrates the battery directly into the vehicle's structure, enhancing rigidity and stability. Powered by a 168kW electric motor and a 69.9 kWh battery, it offers a maximum range of 477 kilometers (NEDC). The vehicle is also equipped with 16 active safety features. Indomobil has yet to announce the official price, which will consider currency exchange rates and government EV incentives, making it a keenly anticipated addition to Indonesia's burgeoning EV landscape.

So, TKDN fulfills many things. It talks about human resources, it talks about certain spare parts that can be localized. In principle, we fulfill at least in the initial stage the TKDN required by the government.
