Background
Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, is becoming increasingly urbanized. Today, over half of the population lives in cities; by 2045, the centenary of Indonesia's independence, nearly three-quarters will. Rapid urbanization is increasing the importance of cities as living spaces for people and as economic hubs. Transport is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with cities having a significant share. It is estimated that 25 percent of GHG emissions from energy in Indonesia are due to transport, and these are the fastest growing. Road transport is responsible for over 90 percent of overall fuel consumption and the growing concentration of GHG emissions, thus requiring special attention. Electric mobility has been identified as a major prospective area of transportation development for Indonesia. The Indonesian government has set a vision for the scope and pace of electrification of public transportation. By 2030, 100% of the 10,047 buses operating in Jakarta should be electric. Other major cities have also started to electrify their buses.
Why Join?
TransJakarta is one of the largest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in the world, providing extensive public transportation services in Jakarta, Indonesia. Other major cities in Indonesia are beginning to transform their public transportation into more sustainable solutions. A high-level visit from Sweden to the SISP Transport Conference in 2025 will not only reinforce the signed G2G MoU and strengthen diplomatic and economic ties between Sweden and Indonesia but also solidify Sweden's position as a partner country to the EV transformation agenda with pilot projects on charging infrastructure and EV busses in the near future.
