300 Zero Motorcycles Delivered For G20 Summit In Bali, First All EV Motorcade In A World Summit.

In preparation for the G20 Summit in Bali this month, nearly 300 new Zero Motorcycles have been delivered to Indonesia by Zero Motorcycles USA, the global leader in electric motorcycles and powertrains. Indonesia’s choice to use an all-electric transportation fleet marks a new milestone for one of the world's largest economies as it reduces its reliance on fossil fuels and moves toward net-neutral emissions.

The Group of 20 (G20) is a global forum of 19 countries and the European Union that represent the world's 20 largest economies or trade unions. The G20 Summit's main goals are to address global economic issues such as financial stability, climate change, and overall sustainability. In an effort to achieve zero emissions for this year’s Summit in Bali, Indonesia’s President, Joko Widodo, called for the entirety of the government’s transportation used during the events to be EV’s. Zero Motorcycles, the world's leading supplier of fully electric full-sized motorcycles, was chosen to supply premium EV models to the National Police and the Indonesian National Armed Forces, which includes the Presidential Security Force.

"Meeting President Joko Widodo's ambitious zero-emissions goals was made possible by an excellent partnership between both Zero Motorcycles and the Indonesian government, both of which are highly motivated to be leaders in the transition away from fossil fuels," said Harun Sjech, CEO of PT, Elektrick Motoriz Global, the importer for Zero Motorcycles in Indonesia. "We are extremely proud to have delivered all of these motorcycles, and we look forward to strengthening our ties with both Zero and the Indonesian government” he further added. 

Zero Motorcycles delivered nearly 300 electric motorcycles in time for the G20 Summit in 2022. The governmental purchase order included the Zero DSRP (Police) motorcycle, which is only available to global fleet operators and authority forces, as well as the widely available SR/S and SR/F premium models that have been modified for tactical use by the Indonesian security force.

“We applaud President Widodo and the entire Indonesian government for their clear vision, admirable climate leadership goals, and for the speed with which they sought to equip and train their staff for the G20 Summit,” said Sam Paschel, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. “The G20 is an extremely important platform and being able to deliver a large fleet of reliable electric motorcycles for the event is a credit to our amazing team, and a benefit for the entire world.”

Zero Motorcycles was founded in 2006 and now has 10 full-sized consumer models built on three different platforms for street and dual-sport use. Zero outfits more fleets than any other two-wheeled EV manufacturer in the world, with models specifically designed for fleet use and currently deployed by over 240 US-based agencies and scores more globally.
