BALI – PT BIBU Panji Sakti (PT BIBU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PT Mobil Anak Bangsa (PT MAB), Indonesia’s national electric vehicle manufacturer, for the procurement of electric vehicle fleets to support sustainable mobility at the North Bali International Airport development.
The partnership marks a strategic collaboration between the infrastructure and national automotive sectors, reinforcing a shared commitment to environmentally friendly transportation and the advancement of Indonesia’s domestic electric vehicle industry.
A Green Gateway for the Future
Designated as a National Strategic Project, North Bali International Airport is being developed in Kubutambahan, Buleleng, encompassing 600 hectares of airport facilities, 300 hectares of aerocity, and 2,800 hectares of aerotropolis. The project integrates advanced technology, sustainability, and Bali’s cultural philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, emphasizing harmony between people, nature, and spirituality.
“North Bali International Airport is envisioned as Indonesia’s future gateway — green, technologically advanced, and inclusive of local communities,” said Erwanto Sad Adiatmoko Hariwibowo, CEO of PT BIBU Panji Sakti.
Electric Mobility by Indonesia’s Own
Under the MoU, PT MAB will supply a range of electric vehicles, including E-Buses, E-Vans, E-Trucks, and E-Double Cabin vehicles, to support internal airport mobility and surrounding operations. These zero-emission vehicles enhance operational efficiency while reducing the airport’s environmental footprint.
Founded by Retired TNI General Dr. Moeldoko, PT MAB is a pioneer in Indonesia’s electric vehicle industry, focusing on sustainable mobility solutions across multiple sectors.
Strengthening National Industry & Sustainability
The electric vehicle fleet will be operated by PT BIBU Aero Abipraya, a subsidiary of PT BIBU Panji Sakti, responsible for internal transportation management and integrated mobility systems within the aerotropolis.
“This collaboration demonstrates strong synergy between sustainable infrastructure development and green transportation innovation,” said AA Ngurah Ugrasena, President Director of PT BIBU Aero Abipraya.
MAB vehicles used in the project feature an increasing Domestic Component Level (TKDN), aligning with Indonesia’s national electric vehicle policy to strengthen local industry, create jobs, and increase technological value.
“Being part of a major national project like North Bali International Airport is a proud milestone for MAB. This is not just vehicle procurement, but a step toward a cleaner and more competitive Indonesia,” said Kelik Irwantono, President Director of PT Mobil Anak Bangsa.***
