- jakarta. are toccata's buses. —jakarta. are lowered welcome to asia business support, report. we begin with day four of that strike in the us that is affecting some of the country's largest car manufacturers. negotiations between the united auto workers and the detroit three automakers are ongoing. 12,700 uaw workers have now joined the industrial action affecting general motors, forward as well as the land to. on monday the uaw held talks with the lantus although no deal could be arrived with but it had scheduled a new round of talks with foord for later in the day. a short while back on the day. a short while back on the programme i spoke to the asia editor of automotive news and he told me what is at stake for the sector as well as for the us economy.— for the sector as well as for the us economy. well, i mean it is a dicey — the us economy. well, i mean it is a dicey situation _ the us economy. well, i mean it is a dicey situation for _ the us economy. well, i mean it is a dicey situation for the - is a dicey situation for the united states that is a huge sector of the economy that is

at play here. there is no real common ground yet found between the labour and the management. the labour is asking for a wage increase of about 36%. the management has offered about 20%. so there is a big gap between the two sides. the labour unions have thrown out some almost fantastical wants such as a return to a normal pension system and even four day work week. these are kind of real outliers there in the global industry that would take the unionised american workers into the kind of uncharted territory. ii into the kind of uncharted territory-— territory. if you bring and aaent territory. if you bring and agent perspective, - territory. if you bring and agent perspective, whatl territory. if you bring and i agent perspective, what are territory. if you bring and - agent perspective, what are the things that have been done differently here for you to make any comparisons? 0ut we drove those comparisons as a strike lays out? for background, - strike lays out? for background, what l strike lays out? for i background, what you strike lays out? for - background, what you are strike lays out? igrr' background, what you are seeing in the united states is an unprecedented strike against all three american automakers

at the same time. meanwhile, in japan, for example, you would barely ever see a strike. i don't think in my time working here since the early to thousands have we ever seen a strike at any of the carmakers here. by contrast, you see more of a collegial or cooperative approach to the annual wage negotiations so that there is more give and take in both the labour and management see their fate as intertwined as opposed to confrontational. but are there any lessons that can be learned and what are the aspects that are working well for instance by the japanese auto industry? for the japanese auto industry? for the japanese auto industry, i think they are facing some of the same pressures. you saw this year for example was a reaction to spiralling inflation. there was on the automakers to give some of their biggest raises in decades. toyota gave its biggest race in two decades to its workers. honda gave its

biggest race in three decades to its workers. both i request put forward by the workers and accepted upfront by the management and there was no major conflict or confrontation about that. that said, honda for example accepted a 5% increase what is believed to be about a 5% increase in pay and that contrast with what the uaw is asking for in the united states which is about 36%. you can see how the expectations are a bit more modest injapan. but there are some signs that the labour disputes between auto industry workers and carmakers are spreading beyond the us borders doctor mckenna few hours, ford motor could face another strike and this time in canada. that is when a contract between foord and a union around 5000 — 6000 canadian auto workers is likely to expired. the unit has warned

that the increasing likelihood of a strike — among other demands is better pay and an improved pension system. staying with the auto industry, let's focus on electric vehicle.— let's focus on electric vehicle. ~ . ., ., vehicle. what china may hold the headlines _ vehicle. what china may hold the headlines when _ vehicle. what china may hold the headlines when it - vehicle. what china may hold the headlines when it comes| vehicle. what china may hold l the headlines when it comes to evs there is another country trying to take the lead and thatis trying to take the lead and that is indonesia. 0ne trying to take the lead and that is indonesia. one of the south—east asian nation's most powerfulfamily south—east asian nation's most powerful family conglomerates with big interest in mining, oil and gas is now looking to get in on the act by electrifying toccata's public bus system. asia business corresponded picked up at the chief executive of buckley and brothers on a recent visit to singapore. brothers on a recent visit to singapore-— brothers on a recent visit to sin..aore.,n, . . ., w , singapore. jakarta alone makes about 10.000 _ singapore. jakarta alone makes about 10,000 buses _ singapore. jakarta alone makes about 10,000 buses which - singapore. jakarta alone makes about 10,000 buses which is i about 10,000 buses which is quite a large number, especially compared to a lot of other cities in the world, including for example london. but for us, to start with, the first batch of buses about 52 of them it has already made a

significant impact but we want to go from 52 buses to later on 10,000 buses. and jakarta is very committed to making it happen by 2035 so we were very much supportive. not only do we want to provide these buses but we want to make these buses in indonesia. we want to make these buses in indonesia-— we want to make these buses in indonesia. ~ . .,~ , ., , ., indonesia. what makes indonesia such an attractive _ indonesia. what makes indonesia such an attractive place _ indonesia. what makes indonesia such an attractive place then - such an attractive place then to make electric vehicles were we like to say that below the ground we the critical minerals, whether that is nickel, cobalt, copper, zinc oxide. �* ., ., oxide. but above the ground we have this renewable _ oxide. but above the ground we have this renewable energy - have this renewable energy grid. about 500 kilowatts of that. it can be anything from inaudible also tidal, solar, wind, hydro. all of them can come into play to process the critical minerals. so you can imagine you have a product that is for electrification but processed

in a way that is green power. i think it will be quite exciting. how will you sell this to ordinary indonesians because they might see this as western companies boring big money in an big indonesian bosses making lots of money out of it. how will it benefit the ordinary indonesian? , if indonesian was to grow from 11000 indonesian was to grow from 4000 per n 25,000 in a little less than 25 years that the only thing is industrialisation. but these days industrialisation alone is not enough. you have to do green revolution. you will then have more people in indonesia and about half of them are millennials and they are really concerned about sustainability, especially not only from protecting the environment, which come to their livelihood being in the global south. archipelago, high temperature, high humidity, but also because they actually believe that this is the way to go for indonesia.
