Mitsubishi commits to make Indonesia a production base and export hub
Neraca, 1 July '22
Indonesian ministry of Industry (Kemnperin) team has visited Japan to meet business players in the country, including the automotive headquarters of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC).
At the meeting, Mitsubishi Motor Corporation, which was chaired by MMC boss Takao Kato, also discussed increasing the use of local Indonesian components, especially from small and medium industries (IKM), in the production process of Mitsubishi vehicles. In addition, the Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, also discussed a number of issues related to Mitsubishi car production activities in the country.
From the results of a visit to Mitsubishi Motors Okazaki Plant, a commitment was obtained to make Indonesia a production base and export base. Mitsubishi targets its export performance in 2022 to reach 72,000 units, or an increase of 30,000 units compared to 2021. This increase will contribute to the trade balance surplus of IDR 7 trillion (US$ 469 million).
"Surely Mitsubishi will increase the export volume and export destinations, thus making a real contribution to Indonesia's export performance," said Agus in Okazaki, Japan.
Mitsubishi has committed to adding export destination countries and granted permission to Brand Holder Agents (APM) in Indonesia to add nine more countries. Currently, Mitsubishi APM in Indonesia has exported cars to 30 countries.
"Mitsubishi also stated that Australia will be one of the countries included in their export list," said Agus.
According to Agus, Australia is a very important market for Indonesia. Moreover, Indonesia and Australia are already bound by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA).
"The Australian market is very large, especially since we already have a trade agreement, so it would be a shame if it wasn't used," said Agus.
The Ministry of Industry's visit to Mitsubishi this time is a follow-up to the results of the visit in March 2021, including the plan to increase investment of IDR 11.2 trillion until 2025. Through additional investment, Mitsubishi targets to increase production capacity in Indonesia, from 220,000 units to 250,000 units of vehicles. The plan is that Mitsubishi will produce the Xpander Hybrid car type and two new models, one of which will be produced in 2023.
Agus revealed that the Ministry of Industry continues to encourage the automotive industry in the country, including Mitsubishi, to accelerate the production of low carbon emission vehicles with Hybrid technology and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) by issuing Minister of Industry Regulation No. 2021 regarding Low Carbon Emission Vehicles, which among others regulates the technology of hybrid type vehicles and battery-based Electric Motorized Vehicles (KBL).
"We also continue to encourage Mitsubishi to be able to produce battery-based KBL vehicles in Indonesia with the use of a smaller battery size (Kei car) using a 20 kWh battery and a driving range of 170 kilometres," said Agus.
At the Okazaki Plant, Agus also had time to try out several Mitsubishi electric vehicles with Battery Electric Vehicle and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology, one of which was the Minicab MiEV 2WD. This two-wheel drive car has a range of up to 150 kilometres on a single charge of a battery with a capacity of 16 kilowatts (kWh). The advantage of this car include being suitable for narrow roads with a small turning of 4.3 metres and being able to overcome steep inclines.
Agus also did a test drive of the Mitsubishi eK X EV which is equipped with a 20 kWh battery with a range of 180 kilometres on a single charge (WLTC5 method). This type is equipped with two battery charging ports, namely regular and fast. The regular charging port (AC200V/14.5A) takes about eight hours to reach a full charge, while fast charging only takes about 40 minutes to charge up to 80%.
Furthermore, they also tried the Mitsubishi Outlander 4WD which is a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). This SUV has a 4WD PHEV system with more powerful front and rear electric motors. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a 2,400 cc engine mated to two electric motors and a 20 kWh battery pack. On EV only model, the car has the range of up to 87 km.
