Willty said that since the beginning, Volta wanted to get involved in electric motorbikes. But at that time the regulations were still complicated, so the consideration was to target electric bikes first.
“Actually, at the beginning of our establishment, we were targeting an electric motorbike. We wanted to make an electric motorbike, only at that time we saw it from the licensing side and all kinds were not too clear. So we started with electric bikes, because this does not need a frame number and STNK, so we start there. , “he said.
The turning point for Volta to jump into the electric motorbike was when the Indonesian President Jokowi signed the Presidential Decree No. 55/2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery Electric Vehicle Program for Road Transportation, which was promulgated on August 12, 2019.
After that, Volta, said Willty, started developing an electric motor. One of them is Vault 401 which was exhibited at IIMS Motobike Hybrid Show 2020, at Motovillage, Jakarta.
“After Pak Jokowi issued a Presidential Decree, then we also submitted to the Ministry of Industry to submit a Vehicle Identification Number (NIK), we will get the frame number easily in December 2019,” he said.
