I simply reported earlier right this moment on XPENG’s exploding gross sales in February. It had 570% gross sales progress in February 2025 in comparison with February 2024. Now it’s getting into one other massive market, Indonesia. Earlier right this moment, XPENG launched within the nation of 281 million.

XPENG will even produce the X9 and G6 in Indonesia within the second half of 2025. XPENG has partnered with Erajaya Lively Way of life (ERAL) to market and promote autos in Indonesia.

Now, we’ve reported on XPENG’s entry into a number of markets world wide. Nevertheless, it might have hit you already that that doesn’t usually include an announcement about native car manufacturing. Usually talking, XPENG is manufacturing its autos in China and delivery them to those different markets. Nevertheless, the corporate signifies which may be about to vary — not less than, in main markets.

“This technique demonstrates a shift in the direction of a extra built-in, localized strategy. By localizing manufacturing and integrating provide chains, XPENG goals to create a neighborhood of shared pursuits in international markets by way of expertise, manufacturing capability, and ecosystem partnerships,” the corporate writes. “This can allow the corporate to supply extra environment friendly, personalized options to Indonesian shoppers in addition to different key markets.”

Curiously, on this case, XPENG didn’t accomplice up along with your ordinary auto supplier. As a substitute, it partnered with a tech and way of life retailer. Which is sensible on this new EV world, proper? “As a number one participant in Indonesia’s high-end expertise and shopper electronics sector, Erajaya represents high international manufacturers, together with DJI drones and premium way of life merchandise,” XPENG writes. “Beneath Erajaya’s management, DJI has already constructed a powerful technological status and market presence in Indonesia. Constructing on this benefit, XPENG and Erajaya will work collectively to drive market training for superior sensible EVs and improve the person expertise.”

“Collectively, we’re introducing a brand new period of sensible, sustainable mobility in Indonesia, with an emphasis on buyer expertise and repair excellence,” Djohan Sutanto, CEO of Erajaya Lively Way of life, mentioned.

“XPENG seeks companions who share the identical imaginative and prescient and desires. Erajaya Lively Way of life is such a ‘new-force’ in Indonesia and an ideal match for XPENG domestically,” added Brian Gu, Vice Chairman and President of XPENG.

All of it sounds very thrilling. It’s arduous to not get caught up within the revolutionary and futuristic language, particularly mixed with some good outdated altruistic sustainability. And why would you need to keep away from getting caught up in it. That’s half the enjoyable, not less than!

“With this launch, XPENG and ERAL are set to redefine Indonesia’s EV panorama, delivering a wiser, extra related, and extra sustainable mobility expertise for shoppers,” the sensible EV producer writes. “XPENG isn’t solely democratizing expertise globally but in addition democratizing person experiences worldwide.” Sounds good to me.
