"Gojek to Switch to Electric Models by 2030"

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Gojek, a ride-sharing company widely used in Southeast Asia, has decided to switch all its vehicles to electric cars and electric motorcycles by 2030. According to major foreign media reports on the 2nd, Gojek recently released a sustainability report stating that it has set three major goals by 2030: zero emissions, zero waste, and zero obstacles.

Gojek, which started in 2010 in Indonesia as a ride-sharing service platform for cars and motorcycles, has grown into a platform offering various services such as food delivery, parcel delivery, and online shopping. Kevin Aluwi, CEO of Gojek, stated, "We aim to convert all vehicles operating through the Gojek app to electric vehicles by 2030 through cooperation with electric car and motorcycle manufacturers and lease agreements."

Gojek is currently piloting an electric motorcycle operation program in some areas, including Bali Island and Bandung in West Java, in collaboration with the Indonesian government. Indonesia produces nickel, cobalt, and manganese used in electric vehicle batteries and aims to become a hub for the electric vehicle industry. Industry insiders view Gojek's recent sustainability report release as a preliminary step toward an initial public offering (IPO). It is currently negotiating a merger with a local e-commerce company, and if successful, it is expected to go public on the Indonesian or U.S. stock exchange.
