Moreover, Geely plans to assemble environmentally friendly vehicles in Indonesia, utilizing the local workforce available in the country. 

"Geely Auto Indonesia will operate as a subsidiary, leveraging local expertise to provide the best experience for customers," Evin Ye added. 

The assembly of Geely vehicles will take place at the facilities of PT Handal Indonesia Motor in Bekasi, West Java, starting in the second quarter of 2025. 

In addition, the latest model, the Geely EX5, is set to be unveiled at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2025, scheduled for February.
