A total of 143 Toyota BZ4X Electric Cars Become Official Vehicles for the G20 Summit in Bali

 The Toyota BZ4X electric car will show off at the G20 Summit in Bali on October 30, 2022. The pollution-free car will be used as a vehicle for the delegation of important state guests on the Island of the Gods.

The information came from the Marketing Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Anton Jimmi Suwandy, he said that TAM would take part and fully support the government to make the G20 Summit a success in Indonesia.

"That's right, (Toyota BZ4X) we will support the G20 Summit event," said Anton when confirmed about the presence of the Toyota BZ4X at the G20 Bali Summit.

Anton continued, until now it is planned that there will be around 143 Toyota BZ4X units that will be prepared by TAM as operational vehicles at the G20 Summit. "Toyota BZ4X there are 143 units," he added.

The presence of the Toyota BZ4X electric car in Indonesia at an important event like the G20 Summit is quite interesting. The reason is, until now TAM has not officially sold the zero pollution SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle), it could be that the momentum in the G20 is a start before it is actually released with an official tag to the public.

When asked about when this car will be officially sold for the Indonesian market, Anton did not want to talk much. But if you remember, on March 12, precisely at the JAW 2022 exhibition, Anton had already talked about his opportunity to enter and be sold in the country.

Yes, of course Indonesia is also studying (Toyota BZ4X), we will inform you later when it is clearer," he concluded at the time.
