China’s electric vehicle manufacturer GAC Aion is set to establish a major EV factory in Indonesia, marking a significant step in the company’s Southeast Asian expansion strategy and boosting the region’s role in the global green mobility movement.
This new facility will not only serve as a production hub for domestic demand but also function as a strategic export base, positioning Indonesia as a rising player in the international electric vehicle supply chain.
By choosing Indonesia—a nation rich in critical minerals like nickel and with a growing focus on clean energy—GAC Aion signals confidence in the country’s potential to support large-scale EV manufacturing and infrastructure development.
The initiative is expected to generate local employment opportunities, foster technology transfer, and encourage further investment in sustainable transport, aligning with Indonesia’s ambitious carbon neutrality goals.
As GAC Aion lays the blueprint for this high-tech, future-forward plant, the collaboration between China and Indonesia could accelerate the region’s transition to eco-friendly mobility, proving how strategic partnerships and innovation can reshape both economies and environments.
