Hyundai Motor said Tuesday it has been selected as the supplier for an Indonesian electric bus project on the resort island of Bali.
The company said its quality competitiveness, after-sales service program and experience in eco-friendly public projects were recognized by the project organizers.
Under the agreement, Hyundai Motor will provide 10 County Electric minibuses to Bali, which plans to operate the vehicles as part of its public transportation network.
In April, Korea's Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Indonesian government to collaborate on transforming Bali's transportation system.
As part of the initiative, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) led the bidding process for the electric bus supply project in August.
"It is meaningful that we will provide electric buses to Bali, a destination visited by many tourists from around the world," Kim Sung-nam, head of Hyundai Motor's Asia-Pacific regional headquarters, said. "We plan to help build environmentally friendly transportation systems in major cities across Indonesia."
