TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Indonesian National Armed Forces, or TNI, joins a number of companies to send electric vehicles for the G20 Summit in Bali. The TNI has equipped its personnel with 252 battery-run electric vehicles (KLBB) in addition to troops from the Army, Air Force, and Navy, as well as 12 warships.
“These vehicles will support security and escorts of Heads of State or Heads of Government,” TNI spokesman Rear Admiral Kisdiyanto said in a press release quoted today, November 1.
Kisdiyanto said that the electric vehicles consisted of 42 units of escort cars, 126 escort motorcycles, and 84 rescue motorbikes. The rescue motorbikes come with helmets, jackets, trousers, shoes, and gloves from USA-brand Zero SRFM 2022 production.
The delivery of electric vehicles for the G20 Bali Summit was carried out on October 28. The cars were shipped on board the KRI Tanjung Kambani-971 while the motorcycles were delivered by land using trailer trucks.

A total of 18,030 personnel are involved including 3,200 officers of the National Police and 492 from other institutions.
