Chinese motorcycle company Qianjiang Motorcycle Group (QJMotor) is building a new factory in the town of Cikarang, Bekasi Regency, West Java, with around Rp165.9 billion investment. The factory is expected to start operating in 2025 and to strengthen QJMotor's position in the Indonesian automotive industry, while also expanding its market in Southeast Asia.
Currently, factory construction has reached 50 percent completion, with US$5 million of funds having been disbursed from the total planned investment of US$10 million. QJMotor is optimistic that the factory will be a major step in strengthening the company's presence in the Indonesian market and increasing competitiveness in the international market.
PT QJMotor Industry Indonesia Vice President Branding & Marketing Communication Budi Kurniawan stated that the company's main focus is currently on marketing motorcycles based on internal combustion engines (ICE) in Indonesia. Although QJMotor has electric motorcycles in its home country, such as the RX Electric Sportbike, the company has no plans to introduce the environmentally friendly vehicle to the Indonesian market in the near future.
"We also have electric motorcycles in China, but we are still studying the market here. Even if we bring in electric motorcycles, it will not be in the near future. For now, our focus remains on ICE," said Budi in Jakarta on Mar. 25, 2025.
The new factory in Cikarang will produce various motorcycle models that have been marketed in Indonesia, including the 4-cylinder SRK 800 RR sport motorcycle, the SRV 600 V cruiser, the SRV 250 AMT automatic cruiser, and the FORT 250 automatic scooter. In addition to meeting domestic market needs, this factory will also be a production base for exports to several countries in Southeast Asia.
