VKTR Teknologi Mobilitas Tbk is an Indonesian mobility electrification company headquartered in Jakarta. It was established as PT Bakrie Steel Industries in 2007 and shifted in 2019 toward commercial vehicle and heavy equipment components before moving into electric vehicles. It describes itself as a borderless mobility electrification company enabled by green energy sources.

The product range covers electric buses (Tidar and Carstenz at 12 m, Arjuno and Ijen at 8 m, in high-floor and low-floor versions), the Lokon electric transporter van, electric trucks from 4×2 light-duty to 6×4 heavy-duty and tractor heads, plus an electric forklift, loader and dump truck. Customers named on the site include TransJakarta, Adaro, Mayasari and Sinar Jaya.

Urban bus operators and city transport authorities electrifying routes. Mining, palm oil and logistics companies replacing diesel trucks and forklifts on site. Intercity coach operators trialling electric 12 m buses.

Locally assembled in a Central Java EV manufacturing ecosystem, with over 150 buses reported in service. Zero tailpipe emissions and quieter operation than diesel buses.

Southeast Asian cities are electrifying public transport fleets, and Indonesia ties bus procurement to local assembly. Operators in Vietnam and elsewhere in ASEAN face similar pressure to replace diesel buses and heavy trucks, which creates demand for locally supported electric commercial vehicles.
