JAKARTA: China's electric vehicle maker Neta Auto introduced three models at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2023 exhibition, marking its entry into the vast archipelago.
It showcased the Neta S sports coupe, Neta U SUV, and Neta V subcompact SUV.
At the auto show, the Chinese EV maker said it would start selling its cars in Indonesia from the fourth quarter of the year. Customers can register for pre-orders at the auto show.
Neta said it is seeking to localise assembly of its cars by Q2 2024. It had signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesian partner PT Handal Indonesia Motor on July 26 to collaborate on localised assembly production.
Indonesia is the largest auto market in the Asean region with a population of over 200 million.
Neta is a young brand. It was established in China in June 2018 and launched its first mass-production model in November 2018.
To date, it has entered Malaysia and Thailand as well as other markets in the Middle East and North Africa as well as Central and South America.
