BYD Technology Roadshow Engages Universitas Dipenogoro and Institut Teknologi Bandung in EV Knowledge Transfer Initiatives
October 5, 2025 | Bandung, Indonesia — PT BYD Motor Indonesia (BYD), a prominent global technology company known for its innovative solutions, recently embarked on a Technology Roadshow across leading Indonesian universities to promote knowledge transfer in electric vehicle (EV) technology. The roadshow notably visited Universitas Dipenogoro (UNDIP) in Semarang and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in Bandung, reflecting BYD’s commitment to supporting sustainable mobility and engaging with young academic talent.
Promoting Sustainable Mobility Among the Youth
BYD’s Technology Roadshow is designed as a platform to foster awareness and discussion about the future of electric transportation and renewable energy among university students—future leaders poised to influence Indonesia’s energy landscape. The program aims to provide deeper insights into BYD’s portfolio, which includes New Energy Vehicle (NEV) models and green energy solutions, while emphasizing the importance of innovation in creating sustainable transport ecosystems.
Starting at UNDIP on September 26, 2025, the roadshow leveraged the university’s reputation for dedication to technology development and sustainability. During the event, BYD shared technical knowledge and industry perspectives, inviting dialogue with students and faculty to cultivate an ecosystem conducive to green innovation.
Continuing its educational outreach, BYD’s team arrived at ITB’s Center for Research and Community Services on October 3, 2025. ITB, known for its multidisciplinary research and innovation collaborations, provided an ideal setting for BYD to deepen its connection to academia and encourage research synergies in energy and mobility technology.
Strengthening Industry-Academia Collaboration
Luther Panjaitan, Head of Public and Government Relations at PT BYD Motor Indonesia, underscored the strategic significance of the roadshow initiative. "As a global technology company operating across vital sectors and pioneering renewable energy and NEV technologies, BYD places innovation and sustainability at the heart of every endeavor," Luther said. "Through this Technology Roadshow, we aim to bring that spirit closer to the younger generation by providing accessible knowledge on future mobility solutions at Indonesia’s top universities."
This initiative exemplifies BYD’s broader strategy to enhance eco-consciousness and active participation among youth in the transition to green energy, thereby heating the phalanx of professionals ready to tackle energy and mobility challenges ahead. The roadshow also strengthens ties between industry practitioners and academic communities, creating pathways for collaborative innovation and research.
Looking Forward
As Indonesia accelerates its commitment to electrification and environmental responsibility, BYD’s active role in educational outreach complements national efforts to build a sustainable future. By sharing expertise and pioneering technologies within academic settings, BYD lays groundwork for inclusive growth and innovation in the country’s nascent EV market.
The roadshow is expected to continue reaching additional institutions in the near future, further expanding the impact of sustainable mobility education. This engagement not only supports BYD’s vision but also aligns with Indonesia’s ambitious goals for energy transition and clean transportation.
