Abstract
The global transportation sector's heavy reliance on fossil fuels poses significant environmental challenges. In response, many countries, including Indonesia, are exploring sustainable alternatives like electric vehicles (EVs). With abundant nickel reserves, Indonesia aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of EVs, particularly electric motorcycles, under initiatives such as the Battery-Based Electric Vehicle Acceleration Program. Despite ambitious targets of 2.5 million electric motorcycles by 2025 and 13 million by 2030, the current population stands at 99,594 units, highlighting significant adoption challenges.
This thesis explores the development and implementation of the e-motorcycle battery swap business in Indonesia, employing Circular Technological Innovation System (TIS) Framework and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to identify and prioritize barriers. The study identifies 33 barriers and proposes a four-level hierarchical strategy to address these issues. Key strategies include engaging businesses during political transitions, forming a unified consortium of battery manufacturers and e-motorcycle providers, and advocating for regulatory changes.
The findings, validated by experts, emphasize the importance of addressing lower-level barriers to create a conducive environment for the widespread adoption of battery swap systems. The study provides a comprehensive framework to facilitate the growth of the e-motorcycle battery swap industry in Indonesia, contributing to the country’s sustainable transportation goals.
