KatadataOTOPresident Prabowo Subianto is creating several programs for 2025. One of them is MBG (Free Nutritious Meals).

This has turned out to be a blessing for several parties. As is being felt by SIS (Suzuki Indomobil Sales).

Because the new Suzuki Carry pickup will be used as a logistics transport fleet for the program of Indonesia's number one person.

“The MBG program is currently a hot topic, because there will be 5,000 kitchens and each kitchen must have two cars. That means 10,000 light pickup vehicles are needed, and for this segment, there are only a few brands,” said Aliftia Rizki Annisa, Head of Fleet Sales 4W PT SIS at IIMS 2025, on Wednesday (19/02).

In 2025, it will be the third phase, requiring 1,800 to 2,000 vehicles.

“We have prepared 600 units, because we were asked how many cars we could ready, and Suzuki will provide support,” Aliftia affirmed.
