Indonesia's largest taxi operator, PT Blue Bird, plans to expand its electric vehicle (EV) fleet, with the expectation that a new BYD Co. plant will help lower EV prices.
The company aims to have electric vehicles make up 3% of its fleet by next year, and increase this to 20% by 2030.
This move aligns with the growing trend towards electrification in the transportation sector, as Blue Bird looks to modernize its fleet and improve sustainability.
The anticipated reduction in EV prices due to the BYD plant is expected to facilitate this transition, making electric taxis a more viable option for the company.
