I am happy to share that the ICCT has published the TCO analysis for Transjakarta at route level. Key findings include the significantly higher efficiency of e-buses compared to diesel buses, the feasibility of operating certain routes with specific e-bus configurations, and the potential cost competitiveness of e-buses with extended contract durations. We hope that this study can help the target of Jakarta to electrify 100% of the BRT fleet by 2030 https://lnkd.in/gq4HU6ra

ABB Indonesia is located in WTC 3 Jakarta. It can be reached easily by public transportation since the distance from nearest MRT station (Bendungan Hilir Station) is just around 400 meters. Public transport plays a key role in providing basic, affordable mobility to people who have no access to individual transport modes. Rail is one of the green modes of transport and is fundamental for decarbonising the transport sector. There are many types of railway transport system. In some countries we can find tram, light rail & metro system, monorail, suburban or commuter line, till high speed train. Each mode has its own characteristic: top speed, passenger capacity, distance, headway, and of course the power supply. There are AC traction and DC traction power supply application. The AC traction is usually for higher speed and longer distance like highspeed train. It uses 15kV 16.7Hz or 25kV 50/60Hz line. The DC traction uses 750V, 1500V or 3000V line. The example of DC traction is for Jakarta Commuter Line. The over head line is using 1500Vdc. ABB delivers innovative, sustainable, and safe mobility solutions. #ABBrailway

Indonesia is the world's largest producer of nickel which is an important mineral required to produce lithium-ion batteries. Last December the Indonesian government announced that automobile makers that plan to build EV plants, will get tax incentives for their vehicle imports until 2025. Last year Indonesia launched 'Whoosh' Southeast Asia's first high speed railway from the capital Jakarta to Bandung. And is planning for phase 2 up to Surabaya. And last year for a certain period the air pollution in Jakarta was the worst in the world. The country is looking at reducing emissions & attracting foreign investments to boost the country's economy. BYD announced that they will be launching their cars in the country next week onwards. The project comes with an aim of reducing CO2 emissions within the country. Its biggest rival Tesla entering the country in the short-term remains unclear. #evs #indonesia #southeastasia #electriccars #evbatteries #decarbonization #economics #macroeconomics #sustainability #airpollutionawareness #lithium #climatechangesolutions #netzero

📈 "From Karawang to the World: Welcoming a New Era of Battery and EV Innovation with the Green Power Factory!" 🌿🔋 Last week, President Joko Widodo inaugurated the PT Hyundai LG Indonesia (HLI) Green Power battery and electric vehicle ecosystem factory in Karawang, West Java. This facility, the first and largest in Southeast Asia, is a testament to Indonesia's commitment to competing in the global battery and electric vehicle production arena. As someone deeply interested in battery production, I am thrilled by this development. With increasing investments and infrastructure, Indonesia is clearly on its way to becoming a major player in the global battery industry. Regarding battery production, cylindrical batteries are among the most common types used in electric vehicles. The production process involves several crucial steps to ensure high quality and performance: • Mixing: Active materials and binders are mixed with solvents to create a slurry. This process must be conducted carefully to maintain particle structure and ensure uniformity. Controlling density and viscosity is vital for consistent mixing. • Coating: The slurry is coated onto thin metal foils, forming homogeneous cathode and anode layers. • Calendering: The cathode and anode layers are pressed to increase density, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength. This process also reduces thickness and porosity but must be done cautiously to avoid cracking or peeling. • Slitting: The coated and pressed layers are cut into more petite strips. Smooth, burr-free edges are essential to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance. • Winding: The strips are rolled into a cylindrical shape called a jelly roll. At this stage, metal strips (tabs) are welded to the cathode and anode current collector for good electrical connections. • Grooving: After forming the jelly roll, it is placed into a grooved can, and the anode tab is welded to the bottom can. • Drying: The jelly roll is dried to remove any remaining moisture. • Filling: Liquid electrolyte is added to the battery cell in a vacuum condition to ensure uniform distribution and maintain the purity of the filling process. • Welding: The upper cap is welded to connect the cathode tab to the positive terminal, allowing electrical current transfer between the battery electrodes and the external circuit. • Sealing: The battery is tightly sealed to prevent electrolyte leakage and ensure reliability. • Testing: The battery is tested to ensure quality and performance before packaging and distribution. Following these meticulous steps, we can produce efficient and reliable batteries for various applications, including electric vehicles. This groundbreaking signifies a bright future for battery technology in Indonesia! Let's support and continue to innovate in this exciting field! #BatteryTechnology #ElectricVehicles #EVTechnology #RenewableEnergy #BatteryManufacturing #SoutheastAsiaTech #EnergyStorage #BatteryResearch #HLIGreenPower

Last week, I enjoyed a road trip from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru, covering the distance in 5 hours via Malaysia's highways. The development of road infrastructure, particularly highways, has indeed made inter-regional connectivity easy, fast, and cost-effective, reducing the expense of shipping goods between regions. This is in line with the consistent efforts of President Jokowi to build toll roads throughout his tenure, which will undoubtedly be a lasting legacy cherished by the Indonesian people. Similarly, the ongoing digital infrastructure development by Telkomsel, aims to open up communication access to all regions in Indonesia, including the 3T regions (Outermost, Frontier, and Remote). With the opening up of digital communication access, communication among communities will be facilitated, leading to economic growth and improved access to education for the people. Reflecting on these changes, all the developments in physical and digital infrastructure have been aimed at maximizing the time available to humans. In the past, traveling from Jakarta to Surabaya took over a day, but now it can be done in 10-12 hours via toll roads. Similarly, downloading a movie that used to take 24 hours on 3G now only takes 5-6 minutes on 4G and even 5G just to 6 seconds. Humans may not be able to shorten the distance, but they can certainly shorten the travel time. It's all about time because time is money and cannot be bought. #Innovation #Infrastructure #digitaltransformation
