REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - The “wow effect” of Esemka car has not stopped yet. Now, the Association of Young Indonesian Businessmen (HIPMI) is preparing the opening of 33 dealerships for the student-made Esemka car across Indonesia this year, the group`s leader said.

"Our target for 2012 is opening one Esemka car dealership in each of Indonesia`s 33 provinces, " HIPMI chairman Raja Sapta Oktohari said onThursday.

He said HIPMI wanted to invest in the Esemka car which was originally assembled by Solo vocational school students by setting up the dealerships across Indonesia. To realize its plan the association would use its nation-wide network. "We will empower the networks of our members residing in all 33 provinces," he said.

The association`s aim in opening the dealership was to help maintain consistency in the Esemka car`s production in terms of after-sales service, repairs, and provision of spare parts.

"We hope the quality of the home-made car will always be maintained beyond the moment it is sold," Raja said, adding he still did not know the total investment needed to open the 33 dealerships.

He said HIPMI`s initiative was a reflection of its appreciation for a product made entirely in the spirit of economic independence."We want the euphoria of the Esemka car making achievement not to be just momentary but to continue," he said. HIPMI also wanted to encourage all elements of the community, young businessmen in particular, to love domestic products.
