Xpeng Indonesia is preparing to introduce autonomous driving technology tailored to the requirements of the Indonesian market, although the regulatory framework for its implementation is not yet in place.

The company is discussing the necessary regulatory provisions with the Indonesian government and is considering introducing the technology on toll roads before expanding its application to everyday transportation.

Xpeng Indonesia Country Manager Leo Jia said the company is working to ensure that vehicles introduced in Indonesia are equipped with the necessary hardware to support autonomous driving technology.

"The Indonesian market has many requirements. I will give two examples. First, autonomous driving, which I also mentioned in my launch speech. In short, the regulations are not ready yet, but our technological capabilities are," he said in Jakarta on November 11th, 2026.

Leo acknowledged that regulations in Indonesia are not yet ready to support the implementation of autonomous driving technology.

"Therefore, we need to take several measures to better serve the market and consumers here. We have decided to install all the necessary hardware in the vehicles introduced in Indonesia. At the same time, we are also holding discussions with the government to explore ways to expedite the regulatory process," Leo said.

Xpeng is also discussing the possibility of conducting autonomous driving technology trials on toll roads as an initial step before extending the technology to everyday transportation.

"Internally, as part of our technology testing, we are also planning to propose to the government that we be allowed to begin with toll roads. Then, we want to expand into daily transportation. All of this planning involves specific hardware and software arrangements," he said.

According to Leo, the hardware and software modifications are intended to ensure that Xpeng's technology meets the requirements of the Indonesian market. The planning and adjustments form part of the company's efforts to adapt its autonomous driving technology to local conditions and consumer requirements.

Alongside its technology plans, Xpeng Indonesia also intends to expand its vehicle portfolio by introducing additional models from its product line-up in China. This forms part of the company's strategy to increase the range of vehicles available in the Indonesian automotive market.

Leo said that, following the introduction of the Xpeng G9L and X9 Long Range AWD, the company has several other models that could be introduced in Indonesia.

"I think we will introduce more models in the future. We will also bring several models from Xpeng's product line-up in China to Indonesia," he said.
