The G20 is a global forum that includes 19 countries and the European Union, representing the world’s 20 largest economies or trade unions.
The main goals of the G20 Summit are to address issues with the global economy including financial stability, climate change, and overall sustainability. In an effort to lower emissions for this year’s Summit in Bali, Indonesia’s President, Joko Widodo, called for the entirety of the government’s transportation used during the events to be electric vehicles.
Zero Motorcycles was selected to equip the National Police and the Indonesian National Armed Forces, which includes the Presidential Security Force.
“Meeting the ambitious zero-emissions goals set by President Joko Widodo was made possible thanks to the excellent partnership with both Zero Motorcycles and the Indonesian government, both organizations that are highly motivated to be leaders in transitioning away from fossil fuels,” said Harun Sjech, CEO of PT, Elektrick Motoriz Global, the importer of record for Zero Motorcycles in Indonesia. “We are extremely proud to have delivered all of these motorcycles and we look forward to building on our relationships with both Zero and the Indonesian government.”
Heading into the 2022 G20 Summit, Zero Motorcycles fulfilled the order of nearly 300 electric motorcycles. The Zero DSRP (Police) motorcycle available exclusively to global fleet operators and authority forces, plus the available SR/S and SR/F premium models that had been modified for tactical use by the Indonesian security apparatus, were all included as part of the governmental purchase order.
