Gojek and TBS Energi Utama form a joint venture to accelerate the development of Indonesia’s two-wheel electric vehicle ecosystem

Gojek

JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Media OutReach - 18 November 2021 - Gojek, Southeast Asia’s leading mobile on-demand services platform, and PT TBS Energi Utama Tbk (TBS), a leading integrated energy company in Indonesia, today announced the formation of a joint venture to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Indonesia. The joint venture, known as Electrum, will act as a platform through which both companies will develop infrastructure for two-wheel EVs throughout the country. Leveraging Gojek’s deep presence in Indonesia and TBS’ capabilities in the energy sector, the two companies will work together to build a comprehensive and scalable EV ecosystem, including two-wheel EV manufacturing, battery packaging, battery swap infrastructure and financing for EV ownership. This joint venture is part of Gojek and TBS’ commitments to achieve Zero Emissions by 2030, which will see Gojek transition its fleet to 100% EVs and TBS invest in clean and renewable energy during the same time period. The collaboration is also in line with the Indonesian Government's plans to make the development of the EV industry a national priority. Gojek CEO and Co-founder, Kevin Aluwi, said, “We have always recognized that strong industry collaboration will be crucial to help solve the most pressing environmental challenges that society faces today. Gojek’s aim is to work together with partners to achieve our sustainability goals, including fully electrifying our transport fleet by 2030. By bringing together the best of Gojek and TBS’ strengths, we will be able to support Indonesia’s transition to building a cleaner, more accessible and sustainable mobility system - ultimately making EVs the norm in our country, contributing to the country’s emissions reduction targets and improving air quality in our cities.” Pandu Sjahrir, Vice President Director of TBS, said, “TBS is fully committed to sustainability and our target of achieving net zero emissions by 2030. This collaboration with Gojek is part of our commitment to reinvest our current earnings in clean and renewable energy, in line with our business transformation goals and aim to become a greener business.” Pandu Sjahrir added, “To enable large-scale adoption of EVs in Indonesia, it is crucial to develop a strong and comprehensive EV ecosystem. Our vast experience and deep understanding of the energy sector, combined with the large scale of the Gojek network, will be a catalyst for the development of the EV industry in Indonesia. As EVs become more widely available, we hope that this will inspire greater confidence in EVs from members of the public and encourage them to give it a try, so that they can also enjoy the many benefits of EVs.” Gojek recently announced an EV and battery swapping pilot scheme in Jakarta in collaboration with Gogoro, Gesit and Pertamina. This will initially comprise 500 EVs, with plans to scale to 5,000 EVs travelling a total of one million kilometers in the future. With this pilot, Gojek customers will be able to select EVs when using the GoRide service in South Jakarta. Driver partners using EVs can also go about their daily routines more efficiently, serving customers across Gojek services such as GoRide, GoFood, GoSend Instant, GoShop and GoMart. The data from this pilot will also be used to further develop the technology and infrastructure for EVs, in order to meet the needs of Gojek’s driver partners, customers and the wider Indonesian market. About Gojek Gojek is Southeast Asia’s leading on-demand platform and a pioneer of the multi-service ecosystem model, providing access to a wide range of services including transportation, food delivery, logistics and more.

HOWES INDUCTS PETERSON FARM BROTHERS INTO ITS HALL OF FAME

Howes

Today, Howes Products announced the induction of the Peterson Farm Brothers of Assaria, Kansas into the Howes Hall of Fame. The first farm and agricultural inductee of the Hall, the brothers are known as engaging presenters of a treasure trove of knowledge relating to the industry. By creating immensely entertaining, yet relevant videos, they have carved a space where they can share information to help change perceptions on topics related to farming and agriculture. The Peterson Farm Brothers, Greg (30), Nathan (28), and Kendal (25), produce an array of both humorous and educational videos. The videos are shared via two YouTube channels and on their social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat). With a combination package of parody videos, original songs, vlogs, and how to’s, the brothers have developed an immense following on their various social media outlets. They have become a beacon of useful information for other members of the industry, an inspiration for those considering entering the industry, and a catalyst for changing the views of people unaware of how the industry works and the impact it has on our way of life. “Ever since we began producing content, we have continued to realize a need to inform people about what we do in farming and in agriculture as a whole,” said Greg Peterson. “There are many misconceptions about modern day farmers, and we feel obligated to help correct some of those false impressions.” With an eye toward enlightening the public on where their food comes from as well as the boundless work behind it, they have piqued the interest of countless farmers and non-farmers alike. Their unique and original content has drawn in more than just casual social media users. The brothers have gained the attention of associations such as Farm Credit Canada and the National Future Farmers of America Organization. They speak regularly at agricultural trade shows and events across the country. They have also been featured on their own TEDx Talk and on RealAgriculture podcasts, among others. But their near celebrity status is not unwarranted. It is the result of their imaginative presentation of the true demanding labor the brothers, and farmers in general, undertake day in and day out. Set on 2,500 acres, their thriving fifth-generation family farm itself is the ultimate testament to their dedication and success. The work they are doing and demonstrating provides invaluable lessons to anyone tuning in. Dealing with droughts, expensive equipment, livestock, crop management, and so much more, the imparted wisdom from the brothers is sought out by many to tackle the numerous challenges this critical industry faces. For those reasons and more, Howes Products saw them as a wonderful fit for its Hall of Fame. “When we initially came across the captivating work that the Peterson Farm Brothers were doing, we were blown away by their creativity in representing an underappreciated industry,” commented Erika Howes, VP of Business Development at Howes Products. “Their ingenuity in delivering valuable, educational content really resonated with us. We understand how difficult it can be to engage an audience on a topic that is not organically thought of as “interesting.” But that doesn’t take away from its importance. The comedic approach the brothers have taken to increase industry awareness, balanced with their incredible knowledge and expertise, made them the perfect candidates to begin representing farming and agriculture in our Hall of Fame.” “We were honored to be inducted into the Howes Hall of Fame,” stated Nathan Peterson. “One thing we deeply appreciate is family. We thought it was pretty neat that like our farm, Howes Products is a fifth generation, family owned and operated company. It seems both our families have been doing things the right way for a long time! We are thankful to be recognized by such an upstanding company with such strong family values.” For their captivating productions, unwavering work in the field, and wide-ranging knowledge of the industry, Howes Products salutes the Peterson Farm Brothers and is honored to present them as the first farming and agricultural inductee to the Howes Hall of Fame. The Howes Hall of Fame serves as a platform for Howes to acknowledge and thank all the great work that has, and does, go into the trucking and agricultural industries. With the goal of recognizing unique achievements across a broad spectrum of categories, the Hall provides a showcase that will live on for generations. The Howes Hall of Fame officially launched in 2020 as part of the Howes Family’s celebration of 100 years in business. It can be viewed now at www.howesproducts.com/HOF.
