The company is using its existing pickup truck chassis and converting them locally into local public transport vehicles.
Tata Motor Indonesia said it had orders for 300 such minibuses from the Tangerang municipality, near Jakarta, and that other municipalities in and around Jakarta are considering additional purchases of the vehicles.
