The rural car (Indonesian: mobil pedesaan), also known as the village car (mobil desa), is a group of cars commonly found in Indonesia.
The rural car appeared after the second reshuffle of the Joko Widodo's cabinet in July 2016, when Airlangga Hartarto was appointed Minister of Industry and was tasked by the President to develop the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) project and rural cars.[1]
The program was initiated by the Ministry of Industry together with the Indonesian Automotive Institute (IOI).[2] The fixed price for a rural car is around Rp 60–Rp 80 million, which is less expensive than similar vehicles in this class.[3] They can only be used on off-road pathways and village roads outside the toll road.[4]
These rural vehicles are designed to facilitate community activities, mainly being a means of transporting agricultural and plantation products.[5]
