Government Encourages Technology Transfer in National Electric Vehicle Development
The Indonesian government continues to accelerate the development of the domestic electric vehicle ecosystem. One of the main focuses of current policy is to increase the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) for every electric vehicle product manufactured in Indonesia.
This step aims not only to reduce dependence on imported components but also to strengthen the local manufacturing industry. By increasing the TKDN, it is expected that the national automotive industry supply chain will become more independent and competitive in the global market.
However, experts emphasize that increasing the TKDN must be accompanied by real technology transfer to local workers. This is important so that Indonesia's human resources possess the technical skills necessary to operate sophisticated electric vehicle technology.
Training programs and collaborations between global automotive companies and local educational institutions are key to the success of this process. With the transfer of knowledge, local workers are expected to be capable of innovation and technology maintenance independently in the future.
Overall, the development of the electric vehicle industry in Indonesia is expected to have a positive impact on the national economy. In addition to creating new jobs, this policy also supports Indonesia's transition toward the use of more environmentally friendly energy.
