The workshop had a fruitful discussion with ACE actively involved in the dialogue from the panel. In the end, there is still a long way to boost the deployment of eco-friendly vehicles in some countries.
For example in Indonesia, there is still a lack of supporting systems infrastructure such as the number of recharging stations that need to be added due to a lack of investor interest in this business.
Concluded the discussion, CEM and ACE were agreed that the study and analysis on the business model of recharging stations development are interesting and necessary to drive clean energy transition in the transportation sector, exclusively in Indonesia and possibly for another ASEAN countries.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”photo-caption-news”](MRK) (Credit: KEEI)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
