Line rate, local sourcing and equipment
| As of | What the record shows |
|---|---|
| The line can build up to 800 XPengs a month, XPeng Indonesia's operations head says: a rate to be reached step by step and matched to demand, not a count of cars built. Media Detik | |
| The battery pack is made by PT UABS in the Deltamas industrial estate and the bonnet is made locally, the operations head says, towards a 40% local-content target. Media Detik | |
| Reporters at the plant see a robot that forms the bonnet and a bay for calibrating driver-assistance sensors. Handal's chief executive says XPeng asked for a 24-metre test length, four times the usual. Media Detik; Media Kompas | |
| XPeng and PT UABS hold a line-off ceremony in Cikarang for the X9's battery pack. Media Medcom | |
| Local content above 40% for the cars assembled at Purwakarta, ANTARA reports. Media ANTARA | |
| Local content of 44% for the earlier G6 and X9, Katadata reports from XPeng's marketing head; the newest versions aim first for the 40% minimum. Media Katadata |

Evidence & sources
Every fact is dated by the time it describes; where its source was published later, that date follows the source's name. “By” before a date means the step was reported done by that day. What a plant shares with other makers — its area, capacity or output — is kept apart and marked as the whole plant's, never XPeng's share. A report by the press is marked Media. Updated 10 Oct 2026.
