AUTOMOTIVE - JAKARTA. PT Eurokars Motor Indonesia (EMI), the Sole Agent Brand Holder (ATPM) and distributor of Mazda, announces its readiness to build its assembly center in Indonesia.

This significant step is claimed to mark a new chapter in the partnership between Mazda Motor Corporation (MC) and PT EMI, which is expected to have a positive impact on the automotive industry and the Indonesian economy.

Although the exact location has not been disclosed, the plan for the Mazda assembly center in Indonesia will be in West Java.

PT EMI estimates that the compact crossover will be the main category to be produced at this facility.

In addition, the investment support from PT EMI, which is estimated to allocate about IDR 400 billion for the preparation of the entire project, marks the company's determination to be a reliable extension of MC, especially in efforts to become a key player in driving the growth of the automotive industry and economy in Indonesia.

Not only that, Ricky also explained that in the planning of this construction, Mazda in Indonesia prioritizes the empowerment of local communities, especially those in the West Java region.
