JAKARTA, September 19, 2024. PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata), through XL Axiata Business Solutions (XLABS), has formed a partnership with PT Ide Inovatif Bangsa (Quest Motors), an Indonesian electric motorcycle company. Through this collaboration, Quest Motors will integrate digital solutions from XL Axiata Business Solutions into their vehicle platform.
Chief Enterprise & Business Officer of XL Axiata, Feby Sallyanto, stated, “Electric motorcycles are gaining more attention from the public as the Indonesian government continues to promote the use of electric vehicles. We should also be proud that Indonesia now has its own domestically produced electric motorcycles, Quest Motors. XLABS is excited to provide the digital solutions that will be embedded in Quest Motors’ products."
Feby further explained that this partnership with Quest Motors is a strategic initiative for XLABS to expand into the electric transportation industry, particularly by offering solutions tailored for the Medium Enterprise market. Moreover, this partnership marks an important step towards the future of connected mobility by integrating advanced digital solutions into Quest’s vehicle platform, providing the best possible experience for its users.
Through XLABS' digital solutions, Quest electric motorcycles will be able to provide a smarter and more efficient riding experience. These vehicles can communicate in real-time, offering crucial updates to the rider, ranging from vehicle diagnostics and performance data to navigation and safety warnings. What distinguishes them is the display of battery status and health details, including voltage and current, which is displayed on the controller screen. With a full battery, the motorcycle can travel up to 24km. The connectivity feature ensures that Quest users are constantly aware of their vehicle’s condition and have easy access to essential information at their fingertips.
This partnership also reinforced both companies' commitment to sustainability and innovation. Quest is revolutionizing Indonesia's automotive industry by offering environmentally friendly transportation solutions, and with the support of XLABS' network and digital solutions, these electric vehicles are now more connected and reliable than ever. The collaboration is a prime example of how telecommunications and technology can drive progress in green technology, making smart transportation aligned with ESG principles.
Both XL Axiata Business Solutions and Quest are dedicated to supporting Indonesia's digital economy and promoting technological advancements that can lead to sustainable growth. By integrating connectivity into electric vehicles, they are setting a new standard for the industry and contributing to the broader digital transformation in Indonesia, including helping to reduce air pollution and achieving up to 90% efficiency, making them three times more efficient than traditional fuel-powered motorcycles.
