A new milestone was set by Polytron Electric Vehicle Riders (PEVR) and PT PLN (Persero), marking their names in the Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI). Polytron’s electric motorcycle community recoded the “Most Electric Motorcycle Charging from a Single Brand” with 298 Polytron FOX Electric motorcycles charging simultaneously in a nationwide event. This achievement reflects an energetic move toward sustainable transportation while also celebrating Polytron’s 50 years of innovation and two years of PEVR growth.
The event became a major highlight during the PEVR National Jamboree. Hundreds of users from all over the country gathered to support a massive charging rendezvous. The initiative was not only a demonstration of record-breaking unity but proof that the shift to cleaner energy in transportation has transformed into a tangible movement.
Robust Growth of the Polytron Electric Motorcycle Community
The number of Polytron FOX Electric riders is nearing 40,000, enveloping users from Indonesia’s westernmost to easternmost regions. PEVR has developed into a dynamic hub where riders exchange experiences and inspire broader green mobility. According to Riky Arisandi, Chair of PEVR Bandung Raya Chapter, the community acts as both a meeting point for owners and “a real action movement toward a more environmentally friendly future.”
PEVR members regularly take part in educational campaigns promoting energy-saving behaviors and environmental awareness. Their growth reflects a community spirit intent on leaving a positive impact, not just making history.
Key Milestones Leading to the National Record
Polytron FOX Electric previously set another MURI record for the “Longest Distance Travelled Using an Electric Motorcycle.” The journey from Jakarta to Bali spanned 1,333 kilometers, highlighting the vehicle’s endurance and the brand’s commitment to advancing electric mobility. Such achievements have cemented Polytron’s reputation among local consumers and sustainability advocates.
A massive charging event of almost 300 motorcycles required smooth coordination and reliable infrastructure. Polytron worked closely with PLN, which provided open access to its fast-growing network of Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU). This cooperation serves as a template for public-private partnerships committed to speeding up Indonesia’s adoption of clean mobility.
Polytron and PLN: Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition
PLN’s nationwide support makes electric vehicle ownership more practical and attractive, providing robust infrastructure for daily and mass charging events. The successful collaboration with Polytron’s community sends a strong message: innovations in vehicle production must align with progress in charging infrastructure for true transformation.
According to company statements, these efforts show synergy between the state and industry to realize the national energy transition. “The acceleration of electric vehicle adoption is no longer just a discourse,” said a PLN representative, “it is happening now and the community is a key player in making it real.”
The scale and organization of mass charging events demonstrate that Indonesia’s electric vehicle ecosystem is moving beyond proof-of-concept into wide adoption. Demand for charging stations and the routine use of SPKLU show that the infrastructure is keeping pace with consumer needs and government targets for carbon reduction.
Innovation and Local Relevance with the New FOX-200
Polytron is continually launching innovations tailored for Indonesian needs. The FOX-200 was introduced for female riders, featuring proprietary technology like Fox Alert, a smart alarm for enhanced user safety and peace of mind. Ilman Fachrian Fadly, Head of Group Product EV 2-Wheeler at Polytron, said, “FOX-200 is our commitment to responding to local mobility needs. We not only deliver vehicles but embrace a user-focused approach in every development.”
FOX Electric’s battery swapping and rental models allow users to avoid range anxiety, supporting those looking for affordable long-term solutions. Lifetime-warranty battery rental is a critical step, reducing upfront barriers and demonstrating Polytron’s commitment to customer trust.
Real-World Impact: Cleaner, More Affordable Mobility
Polytron FOX Electric motorcycles have collectively traveled more than 348 million kilometers so far, contributing to a carbon dioxide emissions reduction of over 4.2 million kilograms, a figure equivalent to planting 195,000 trees. These numbers underline significant environmental gains, reinforcing electric vehicles’ reputations as tools for both individual savings and collective climate action.
Compared to traditional motorcycles, Polytron’s electric models deliver sharply lower operational costs. The battery rental system minimizes risks for users, offering predictable expenses without the surprise of battery replacement fees. These advantages are among the key reasons behind Polytron’s fast-growing user base and favorability among sustainability-focused consumers.
Strong User Ecosystem and Community Support
Polytron recognizes that success in electric mobility is about more than products; a thriving ecosystem is essential. The PEVR community provides its members with easy access to information, technical support, and scheduled maintenance solutions. User meet-ups and online platforms ensure that riders stay connected, supported, and educated.
Community engagement also means feedback flows directly to Polytron, encouraging continuous product improvement and responsive customer service. The company frequently revises features and programs based on real user experience shared via PEVR platforms.
Polytron: From Market Leader to Green Mobility Pioneer
Total sales for Polytron FOX Electric are approaching the 40,000-unit mark, confirming Polytron’s position as a market leader in Indonesia’s electric motorcycle sector. Consistent demand from new and returning customers is evidence of the brand’s reliability and innovation. Ilman Fachrian Fadly commented that being a leader is not just about figures, but about “spearheading a movement for sustainable transportation” via technology, advocacy, and accessible infrastructure.
Polytron’s achievements in the MURI records, along with PLN’s strong support, highlight the brand’s vision and Indonesia’s readiness to embrace the future of mobility. Each milestone is a testament not only to Polytron and its community, but also to a wider national shift toward cleaner, smarter transportation. Users, industry, and government are now jointly shaping a more energy-efficient, forward-thinking Indonesia, where innovation and sustainability drive everyday journeys.
