Gentari Green Mobility is now set to grow its Vehicle-as-a-Service (VaaS) and charging point solutions in Indonesia. Its subsidiary PT Gentari Green Mobility Fleet has signed an agreement with PT Energi Selalu Baru (ESB), a subsidiary of PT NFC Indonesia Tbk, MCASH Group, to collaborate on electric vehicle (EV) fleet solutions.
Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding between PT Gentari Green Mobility Charge and Indonesia’s national utility company, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (Persero) (PLN), will see the parties jointly expanding EV charging infrastructure in the country.
VaaS subscription model
In collaboration with MCASH Group, Gentari Green Mobility is currently focusing on two-wheel EVs, offering co-branded electric motorcycles through a VaaS subscription model, supported by a network of Battery Swapping Stations (SGB).
To date, a fleet of 300 electric motorcycles has been deployed across key regions of Jakarta, Tangerang, West Java, and East Java, and 30 Battery Swapping Stations have been activated in Jakarta, Tangerang, Depok, and Bekasi. Gentari Green Mobility and MCASH Group aim to significantly expand this fleet and the number of Battery Swapping Stations by the end of 2024.
