State-owned public transport company Perum Damri is strengthening its eco-friendly public transport services. The company has received 70 electric buses from China's Zhongtong, scheduled to be operational by the end of June. This is part of Damri's plan to operate 200 electric buses by the end of 2025, highlighting its role as a pioneer in sustainable public transport in Indonesia. Damri's head of corporate communications stated that these new buses demonstrate Damri's support for the government's clean energy transition plan and the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. These electric buses produce zero emissions, providing high comfort and efficiency for Jakarta's public transport users. They have a range of up to 250 kilometers on a single charge and are equipped with advanced technology to ensure performance and charging efficiency. Damri has also prepared sufficient charging facilities at several depots in Jakarta. With this addition, Damri's total electric bus fleet reaches 316 units, of which 116 are already operating on TransJakarta routes. Assuming each electric bus replaces a diesel bus that emits 1.5-2 tons of CO2 per day, these 316 electric buses are expected to reduce thousands of tons of CO2 emissions annually.
