Automotive industry

In 2008, INKA proposed GEA (short for Gulirkan Energi Alternatif) as a national car. A prototype was created in 2008.^[11] In 2009, GEA began using the machinery developed by BPPT, Rusnas, after previously using Chinese machinery. Carburetors are the only imported components in the 2009 prototype.

PT Inka also supplied compressed natural gas-powered (CNG) buses for TransJakarta, mainly known as the name brand Inobus (abbreviated as Innovation Bus). Currently, there are three known product variants:

• Inobus ATC 320 (Articulated Car) (produced year 2011–2012) with Cummins Westport ISL-G 320 HP CNG engine, mated with Voith DIWA 864.3E automatic transmission. 39 units were operated in total, with 21 units operated by Perum DAMRI from 2011 to 2018 and 18 units operated by PT. Bianglala Metropolitan from 2013 to 2016. The main difference between the two is that DAMRI-operated units used Songz Air Conditioning whilst Bianglala-operated units used Denso Air Conditioning.
• Inobus SGL 290 (Single) with Doosan GL11K 290 HP (EPA 2010) CNG Engine, the same engine used in current Zhongtong buses, mated with Allison Transmission T350R automatic. A total of 36 units, should have been operated by Perum PPD.
• Future fleet: Inobus ATC 340 (Articulated Car) with Doosan GL11K 340 HP Euro IV CNG Engine, the same engine used in current Zhongtong buses bus, mated with Voith DIWA 864.5 automatic transmission.^[12]

In 2011, INKA produced Kancil, a 404 cc vehicle planned to replace auto-rickshaws. However, it could not develop in his market, because of existing regulations at the time.^[13]

In 2022, INKA announced that the two^[who?] will continue the production of Red and White electric buses after reportedly signing a Cooperation Agreement. The news was announced by ITS Vice Chancellor IV Bambang Pramujati who explained that the two entities will produce five electric buses. He further said that the five electric buses had reached the finishing stage. That way, the Red and White electric bus is ready to be launched in the near future.^[14] After that the electric Bus has converted to Trans Metro Pasundan^[15] and Trans Semanggi Suroboyo.^[16]
