Indonesia: Hyundai deploys Bali’s first electric buses for public transport

Hyundai has handed over a fleet of eleven electric buses for public transport in Bali, Indonesia. It says these are the first e-buses that will be used for public transport in the popular tourist destination.

The eleven electric buses Hyundai has supplied for public transport in Bali are part of the Bali Sustainable Transportation System Official Development Assistance (ODA) Project. The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), in cooperation with South Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment (MCEE) and the Indonesian government, is managing the project.

Under a tender GGGI floated in October last year, Hyundai emerged as the winning bidder. The company delivered all eleven electric buses at the launch ceremony of the project on 22 October, and the entire fleet is made up of its County EV eight-metre mid-size model. It will also set up a local monitoring centre to keep track of vehicle quality and driving performance during the initial deployment phase.

Hyundai collaborated with Indonesian bus body manufacturer Laksana for the eleven County EV buses it supplied for public transport in Bali. The company offers this model in several configurations, and the one it has used in Bali features 20 seats, a 150 kW motor, and a 128 kWh battery that delivers a range of more than 200 kilometres. Hyundai claims the County EV in this configuration offers over 30 per cent better acceleration in the 50 to 80 km/h range compared to diesel models.

The latest deployment follows the delivery of another batch of 11 County EV buses for public transport in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, located in East Java province, in November 2024.
