JAKARTA – The purchase of electric motorcycles by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has attracted attention. The head of BGN, Dadan Hindayana, admitted that the program was indeed included in the 2025 plan and budget, but its realization was not entirely in accordance with the target.
Dadan said that of the target of 24,400 units, 21,800 units were realized. “Electric motorcycles are already in the 2025 plan, included in the 2025 budget,” he said at the Presidential Palace complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 8.
Regarding the price, Dadan denied the figure of Rp58 million per unit that was widely discussed. He said the market price was around Rp52 million, while BGN bought in the range of Rp42 million per unit.
“The market price is 52 million, but we buy it if it’s not wrong, 42 million below the market price,” he said.
The electric motorcycle will be used for the operation of SPPG officers, especially in areas that are difficult to reach by four-wheeled vehicles. Dadan emphasized, its main function is to reach villages and remote areas that can only be reached by motorbikes.
“Yes, we will distribute it later for the operations of all people in SPPG, especially in difficult areas,” he said.
He also denied the assumption that this purchase was not urgent. According to him, operational needs in the field were the main reason.
“This program reaches areas that will be very difficult. Reaching villages that can only be reached by motorcycle,” said Dadan.
BGN ensures that there will be no additional purchases in the near future. The procurement of electric motorcycles is only carried out for the 2025 budget needs and is not planned to continue in 2026.
“For the time being, we will just suffice for a while because this is the 2025 budget, 2026 there is no planning for purchases,” said Dadan.a.
