Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian government has asked Toyota Motor Corp (TMC) to increase its investment in Indonesia by expanding its production capacity considering the fact that the Japanese car maker is the automotive market leader in Indonesia.
"We hope that Toyota which is the automotive market leader here will increase its investment in order to maintain its major market-share in Indonesia," Director General for Transportation Equipment Industry Budi Darmadi said here on Tuesday.
He said Toyota through PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) was the automotive market leader as it controlled 30 percent of the automotive market in Indonesia.
Demand for Toyota brand cars was continuing to increase significantly, he said.
"At present demand for Toyota cars, particularly the Avanza, Rush and Innova models, is increasing. The span of indent orders has even reached three months," the director general said.
In response to a question on TMC`s request to improve access facilities to Tanjung Priok port, the director general said the government already had medium- and long-term plans to improve the access system to the port.
