Empowering Indonesia’s Battery Industry: NBRI’s Industrial Training for PT. Astra Honda Motor

Indonesia is on the fast track toward clean energy and sustainable mobility, and the National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) is playing a pivotal role in this transition. Through its Industrial Training Program, NBRI is equipping key industry players with the knowledge and technical expertise needed to lead Indonesia’s battery revolution.

One of NBRI’s latest initiatives is a two-day specialized training for PT. Astra Honda Motor (AHM), themed “Exploring Battery Technology, Assembly Pack, and Its Application.” This program is designed to enhance participants’ understanding of lithium-ion battery technology, battery pack assembly, and performance testing, ensuring they are well-prepared to integrate cutting-edge battery solutions into their products and operations.

Why This Training Matters

As the global shift toward electrification accelerates, Indonesia is emerging as a strategic hub for battery production. With its abundant nickel reserves and a growing electric vehicle (EV) market, the country has the potential to become a leader in the EV battery supply chain. However, to fully capitalize on this opportunity, human capital development is essential.

NBRI’s training program is more than just a technical course—it is a strategic investment in the future of Indonesia’s battery industry. By equipping AHM professionals with in-depth knowledge of battery assembly and performance evaluation, this initiative supports the decarbonization of the transportation sector while fostering local innovation in battery technology.

What Participants Can Expect

The training program is structured to provide a comprehensive blend of theory and hands-on practice. Key topics include:

• Battery Chemistry & Technology: Understanding the fundamentals of lithium-ion batteries and their role in sustainable energy solutions.

• Battery Pack Assembly: Learning the processes involved in assembling battery packs, from cell selection and grading to safety considerations.

• Performance Testing & Evaluation: Gaining insights into battery performance assessment, failure analysis, and safety protocols.

Each session is designed to provide real-world applications, ensuring that participants can immediately apply their learning in industrial settings. Discussions, case studies, and practical demonstrations will further enrich the experience.

NBRI: Advancing Indonesia’s Battery Ecosystem

NBRI was founded with a clear mission: to drive electrochemical energy storage innovation and develop a highly skilled workforce for Indonesia’s clean energy transition. Since its establishment, NBRI has been at the forefront of:

• Battery research & development
