Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika tested an electric
car named ZBee that is designed in Sweden and is already produced
domestically.
"I think it is a good move, as we want a green province. Electric
cars are one of the economic developments," Pastika stated here on
Tuesday.
The electric car was introduced by Per Brandt, a Swedish businessman who has long resided in Indonesia.
"This electric car innovation will be a good revolution for Bali in
the future, as it has several advantages, such as causing less
pollution, saving energy, and taking a smaller parking space," Pastika
noted.
As a form of support, the governor has placed an order for a
prototype car, with the words "Bali Clean and Green" printed on the
car`s side-body.
He hoped the product would be on display at the Bali Provincial Government Development Exhibition in mid-August 2017.
Meanwhile, Brandt remarked that currently, the ZBee factory in
Banyuwangi, East Java Province, has produced 12 units that are able to
cover a distance of 60 kilometers, with an electricity consumption of
two kilowatt-hours.
In Europe alone, especially in Sweden, the electric car has become a
daily use vehicle. He believes the vehicle is ideal for Bali whose
society is concerned about the environment.(WDY)
