The Red and White Electric Bus is being assembled at the PT INKA workshop, Madiun, East Java on Thursday (8/9/2022).

The 1964 Tokyo Olympics were the stage for Japan's proud product, the Shinkansen bullet train. Now, it is the Group of Twenty (G20) Summit in Bali’s turn to serve as the stage for the locally made Red and White electric buses.

The Red and White electric bus is the second generation of the electric bus developed by PT IUGMndustri Kereta Api (Inka). This time, the production is carried out in cooperation with a number of universities, namely the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya, East Java; the Indonesian Art Institute (ISI) Denpasar, Bali; Airlangga University (Unair) Surabaya; Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta; and Diponegoro University (Undip) Semarang, Central Java.
