Indonesia-South Korea Create Batik EV in 50-year

Diplomatic Relationship Anniversary

Indonesia and South Korea planned to make electric vehicles with batik
motifs in 50 years diplomatic relationship anniversary between the two
countries.

"Not only about electric vehicles, but batik is also important as UNESCO
cultural heritage, and needed to be promoted," said the deputy of
Indonesian Embassy representative in Seoul, Zelda Wulan Kartika, as
reported by Antara on Friday, June 2.

The batik motif that would be built on the EV is Solo batik. The government
partners with South Korean automotive manufacturers for the making of
this car. The electric car will be launched in the middle of this year at an
automotive exhibition in Indonesia.

Detailed information regarding the Batik EV is still unavailable. The electric

vehicle is in line with the government's program in accelerating the
electrification transition of vehicles in the country.
The diplomatic partnership between Indonesia and South Korea has been
established since 1973. KBRI in Seoul said several events would be held in
50 year bilateral partnership anniversary, such as business forums held on
several topics namely partnership in the financial sector, electric vehicles,
health, and renewable energy investment.
