Jakarta – The Automotive manufacturer from China, Neta will launch two new electric cars this year for the Indonesian market.
Fajrul Ilhami, External Affairs and Product Director of Neta Auto Indonesia stated that the launch of these new electric cars is a commitment to Neta's presence in the domestic electrification market.
"Last year in 2023, we introduced the Neta V, and this year we are ready to introduce two new electric cars," he said in Jakarta, some time ago.
Regarding car details, Ilhami did not provide further information. However, he ensured that both electric vehicles would fall into the SUV segment.

"Both electric cars are SUVs, one is Small and the other is Medium," he informed.
He also revealed that they would be locally producing their electric cars, including the Neta V.
"We will locally assemble two electric cars, including the Neta V model. Production will commence in early May this year," he said.
Once these two electric cars are launched, Neta will have a total of three electrified vehicles in Indonesia.
However, Ilhami stated that only two models would be locally produced, including the Neta V.
"For local production, we will start with two vehicles, including the Neta V unit and one new model. We will provide further information about the latter later," Ilhami informed.
The local production plant for Neta will collaborate with Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM) at the Ungu Factory in Bekasi, West Java.
Ilhami added that the Neta electric car production facility would be capable of assembling around 27 thousand units per year.
"Our goal in the local assembly, or Completely Knocked Down (CKD), is to achieve a local content of over 40 percent to qualify for incentives from the Government,"
As information, the Government has established regulations regarding incentives for locally assembled electric vehicles (Completely Knocked Down/CKD), with a minimum Domestic Component Level (TKDN) of 40 percent.
This is stipulated in Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 8/2024 concerning Value Added Tax or VAT on electric cars borne by the government or VAT DTP in the 2024 fiscal year.
