Jakarta (VNA) – Indonesia exported 572,506 two-wheelers in 2024, a slightly increase from 570,004 units in the previous year, reported the country's Motorcycle Industry Association (AISI).

According to the AISI, the number of motorbike exported in December only reached 55,537 units, lower than 58,868 units in the previous month due to many holidays.
