Wuling Motors Unveils Cloud EV at IIMS 2024
Jakarta. Chinese car manufacturer Wuling Motors has unveiled its latest electric vehicle model for Indonesia, the Cloud EV, at the Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2024 exhibition. The Cloud EV is a battery-based electric hatchback that accommodates five passengers and boasts a range of 460 to 505 kilometers with a 50.6 kWh battery capacity.
"We hope that by showcasing the Wuling Cloud EV for the first time, we provide diverse choices for consumers. So, depending on the type of electric car they want, Wuling can offer it," Brian Gomgom, PR Manager at Wuling Motors, said at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta, on Friday.
Wuling is displaying a total of 13 vehicles, including both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, at IIMS 2024. For gasoline-based cars, Wuling is showcasing flagship models such as Almaz RS and Alvez.
Apart from the Cloud EV, Wuling has brought its entire lineup of electric vehicle models that are already available in the Indonesian market, including the Wuling Air EV and Binguo EV. These models play a crucial role for the manufacturer in attracting consumers interested in electrified vehicles in Indonesia.
"Besides the Cloud EV, we are also showcasing other electric cars, including the Air EV and Binguo EV. Both of these models were launched earlier, with the Air EV in August 2022 and the Binguo EV on December 15, 2023," explained Brian.
Wuling plans to release the Cloud EV model widely to Indonesian consumers in the second quarter of 2024. The company is optimistic about the growth of the electric vehicle market in Indonesia, based on the positive response received from consumers. Wuling has not disclosed details regarding the pricing.
Brian noted a significant development in the number of electric car users in Indonesia after Wuling introduced the Air EV. Besides catering to domestic consumer needs, Wuling has also exported the same vehicle model to foreign markets.
"For the population of Wuling electric cars, it's around 15,000, with the most dominant category being the Air EV as it was the first to be launched. Thanks to Air EV and then Binguo, Wuling has become the number one EV brand in Indonesia," stated Brian.
