The ‘Indonesian Indigenous Car’ is making its debut in 1:1 clay model form at the 2025 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), and the company behind it is PT Teknologi Militer Indonesia (TMI), which deals with military equipment. i2C’s first product will be a large SUV based on a platform of a foreign partner which identity is yet to be disclosed.

Sounds like there's a long way to go until there's an actual car.

[T]he company quotes a CLTC range of 617 km from an 83.4 kWh NMC battery. There’s a single rear-mounted motor pushing out 204 PS and 310 Nm of torque (identical figures to the BYD Atto 3).

For all the talk of "indigenous" it sounds like a restyled BYD car, unless I'm misinterpreting. Though developing local design and assembly capacity seems like a good benefit.
