Kuala Lumpur,El Sky News — PT Teknologi Militer Indonesia (TMI) has unveiled a new electric concept car developed by Indonesian designers and engineers at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2025. The vehicle is called i2C, short for Indonesia Indigenous Car, and serves as a bold showcase of local talent and innovation in automotive design.
The i2C is a fully electric SUV concept, presented as a full-size clay model at the TMI booth during GIIAS 2025. While still in concept form, the design reflects Indonesia’s future vision for national electric mobility, blending strong exterior lines with cultural motifs that symbolize Indonesian identity.
TMI collaborated with world-renowned Italian design house Italdesign to help refine the i2C’s look, merging local creativity with international design standards. The exterior incorporates artistic elements inspired by the Garuda symbol and batik patterns, which TMI says underline a sense of authenticity and national pride.
Internally, the i2C concept focuses on a clean and functional interior layout, designed to offer comfort with a premium feel, although detailed specifications like powertrain, range, and performance figures have yet to be publicly revealed.
The unveiling of i2C is seen as part of Indonesia’s broader push to advance its automotive capabilities and support the government’s goals of achieving a competitive national electric vehicle industry. Officials and public visitors at GIIAS praised the initiative as a strong first step toward realizing a locally developed EV that could one day enter mass production.
TMI plans to further refine the i2C concept with public feedback and expert evaluations before progressing toward a final production design for future automotive showcases and potential commercial launch
