Dony explained that first, they are preparing official Suzuki dealers. Then, the ability of the sales force to introduce the new electric car.

Next is preparing the technicians, so that when a customer's Suzuki e Vitara experiences a problem, it can be handled.

In addition, SIS also does not want to be left behind in managing their electric car waste. Then, the processing of lithium-ion batteries.

"How to mitigate the risks involved. The service to the products we offer can be smooth," Dony continued.

Furthermore, SIS is also paying attention to the readiness of consumers to accept the presence of the Suzuki e Vitara in Indonesia.

Because each potential buyer has their own characteristics. So this has also become their focus.

With the various preparations above, Dony hopes the presence of the Suzuki e Vitara can provide its own value or added value.

So it can be different from the electric cars that have been offered first by competitors in Indonesia.

Unfortunately, Dony was reluctant to explain further detailed information about the EV. So consumers still have to be a little patient.
