JAKARTA, Sept 10 (NNN-ANTARA) – The Indonesian government will provide incentives for electric motorcycle purchases, as part of an economic stimulus package, aimed at accelerating the transition to clean energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels, a senior official said, yesterday.
Susiwijono Moegiarso, secretary at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, said, the incentives will be included in the third-quarter stimulus package.
He noted that, the government is still reviewing the distribution mechanism, to make the incentives more accessible to the public, as the previous programme had not been fully utilised.
Earlier, Industry Minister, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, said, the ministry had prepared an electric motorcycle incentive scheme, and was ready to implement it once the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs finalised the subsidy amount, and the implementation schedule.– NNN-ANTARA
