XPeng Begins Local X9 EV Production, Delivers First Indonesia-Built Vehicle

Chinese electric vehicle maker XPENG has inaugurated its first overseas manufacturing facility in Indonesia, delivering the first locally assembled X9 MPV at the 2025 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). Utilizing the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) method, XPENG imports disassembled kits for local assembly to meet regulatory requirements and enhance supply chain efficiency, with plans to produce up to 9,600 units annually. The move aligns with Indonesia's status as Southeast Asia's largest EV market, driven by government support and a young demographic eager for smart, sustainable vehicles. XPENG aims to expand its Indonesian sales and service network to cover 70% of core urban centers and 85% of high-density areas by year-end, focusing on Jakarta, Bali, and Java. The company also plans a broader international expansion, targeting over 60 markets in 2025 and aspiring for half of its sales to come from overseas within the next decade. This local production milestone reinforces XPENG's strategic commitment to tailored intelligent mobility solutions and responsiveness to local market demands in Indonesia and beyond.
