PT Daimler Commercial Vehicles Indonesia (DCVI) will work on electric buses after launching the Mercedes-Benz Axor Euro 4 truck. The agent holding the brand of the German automotive company plans to start in the second half of 2022.
"Hopefully in semester II/2022 we can start this project. We will convey the plan soon," said General Manager of DCVI Naeem Hassim when met in South Tangerang, Tuesday (7/6/2022).
