In early 2026, Indonesia's Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN) — the National Nutrition Agency responsible for executing President Prabowo's flagship free nutritious meals program — became a focal point for a wave of e-bike and electric vehicle procurement intended to support "last mile" meal distribution to schools and community kitchens (SPPG) across the archipelago.
21,801 Emmo-branded electric motorcycles were purchased by BGN from PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik and PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal, both part of the same tightly-held corporate group known as the Yasa Group. The two models — the Emmo-JVX GT trail bike at Rp 43,300,000 per unit and the Emmo-JV Max underbone at Rp 41,700,000 per unit — were listed on the government e-catalogue as certified domestic products (PDN), qualifying for procurement on the strength of a 48.5% TKDN score held by PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik.
Within days of the purchase becoming public, social media users began circulating side-by-side images of the Emmo JVX-GT and the Kollter ES1-X PRO, a Chinese electric motorcycle sold on Alibaba for approximately Rp 10,425,000 — less than a quarter of the BGN procurement price. The BGN chief denied the comparison. But the customs data told its own story: in February 2026, just weeks before the procurement was finalized, PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik received a cluster of five shipments from two Chinese manufacturers — Taizhou Okla Automobile Co., Ltd. and Changzhou Bolt Intelligent Technical Co., Ltd. — the precise combination of a chassis supplier and an electronics supplier you would expect from an SKD assembly operation designed to clear Indonesia's local-content threshold.
This is not, it turns out, a story about e-bikes. It is a story about a single family-controlled corporate network that has quietly positioned itself at the intersection of major Indonesian government logistics program of the past three years — from Bulog's rice reserves to BGN's free meals — backed by a retired Vice Admiral, a regional airline flying into some of the most remote districts in Papua, and a litigation record that runs to over Rp 65 billion in disputed government-contract payments.
The Corporate Entanglement
PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik does not operate in isolation. It sits inside a dense cluster of Indonesian companies that share registered addresses, management personnel, and operational infrastructure.
At the center of the web are two individuals: Andri Mulyono, majority shareholder and President Commissioner of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (YAT), and Yenna Yuniana, Director of YAT and closely connected to a third key figure known as Joan, who appears in business directories as Commissioner and President Director across multiple group entities. A fourth named associate, Arsyad Achmadin, is linked through business directories alongside Joan, Yenna, and Andri — he is separately a Secretary General of NOC Indonesia, a former Special Staff to the Minister of Youth and Sports, and a lecturer in International Communication.

The group's known entities include:
- PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal — core logistics company, last-mile distribution contractor for Bulog and now BGN.
- PT Arkan Global Mandiri — sister company with identical ownership; also a named defendant in the Pos Indonesia lawsuit.
- PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik — electrical and e-mobility import and distribution arm; TKDN certificate holder for the JVX-GT (Emmo) e-bike.
- PT Semuwa Aviasi Mandiri (SAM Air) — regional airline, 90% owned by PT Yasa (Rp 135 billion of Rp 150 billion total capital); Yenna Yuniana serves as President Director, Andri Mulyono as Director.
- PT Surya Persada Inti Makmur (SPIM) — construction-sector affiliate managed by the same circle.
Every entity in this cluster shares either the address at Jl. Indraloka II No. 1850, West Jakarta or the private residential address at Jembatan II Gg. Petasan No. 4, Jakarta Utara — Yenna Yuniana's registered domicile. The result is a vertically integrated government-contracting apparatus: import the hardware (Adlas), win the logistics tender (YAT/Arkan), fly the goods to remote regions (SAM Air), and deliver to the final recipient — all within the same family of companies.
The Litigation Record — A Portrait of the Group Under Pressure
The Yasa Group's track record in government logistics is not without serious legal friction. Two major civil cases — both decided in 2025 — define the group's dispute profile.
West Jakarta District Court, Case No. 22/Pdt.G/2025/PN Jkt.Brt
PT Pos Indonesia sued PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (Defendant I), PT Arkan Global Mandiri (Defendant II), Yenna Yuniana personally (Defendant III), and Andri Mulyono personally (Defendant IV) for breach of contract (wanprestasi) over the last-mile distribution of Government Rice Reserves (CBP) for Perum Bulog Phase II in East Java in 2023. Under the arrangement, PT Pos Indonesia was the primary contractor for Bulog; PT Yasa and PT Arkan were subcontracted for final delivery.
PT Pos alleged that it had completed its obligations but the defendants refused to pay outstanding invoices. The defendants countered that PT Pos had failed to provide complete electronic handover reports (Berita Acara Serah Terima / BAST), making payment verification impossible. The court sided with PT Pos.
The ruling ordered:
- PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal: pay Rp 25,087,703,108 plus moratory interest of Rp 1,128,946,640
- PT Arkan Global Mandiri: pay Rp 37,165,240,686 plus interest of Rp 1,672,435,831
- Combined total: Rp 65,054,326,265
Makassar District Court, Case No. 37/Pdt.G/2025/PN Mks
In a parallel action that ran simultaneously, PT Yasa turned the tables and sued PT Pos Indonesia over a separate contract — last-mile distribution of Bulog rice in Papua and Papua Barat. Here, PT Yasa was the claimant. The core argument mirrored the West Jakarta defense in reverse: PT Yasa had completed delivery, Bulog had already paid PT Pos for the work, but PT Pos was withholding payment from its subcontractor on the grounds of incomplete documentation. The court found that PT Yasa had repeatedly requested reconciliation meetings that PT Pos executives refused to attend.
One month after the West Jakarta verdict, PT Yasa won. The court ordered PT Pos Indonesia to pay:
- Outstanding service fees: Rp 11,950,704,000
- Late-payment penalties at 1‰ per day from April 2024 to filing: Rp 3,358,147,824
- Ongoing moratory interest at 6% per year until full settlement
- Immediate signing and completion of all outstanding BARP handover reports
Taken together, the two cases reveal a group that is simultaneously a creditor and a debtor in government logistics — aggressive in pursuing penalties when owed, and exposed to the same documentation disputes it weaponizes against others.
The TKDN Certificate, the Brand, and the Alibaba Question
 |
| Emma's trademark registration in 2023 by Abdullah Alwi |
The e-bikes purchased by BGN carry the Emmo Electric Mobility Indonesia brand. BGN confirmed the purchase of 21,801 units across two models:
- Emmo-JVX GT (trail/off-road type): Rp 43,300,000 per unit
- Emmo-JV Max (underbone/bebek type): Rp 41,700,000 per unit
The TKDN certificate for the JVX-GT model is held by PT Adlas Sarana Elektrik, with a certified local content value of exactly 48.5% (TKDN + BMP = 48.50%). This meets the government's minimum threshold for PDN (Produk Dalam Negeri) classification and qualifies the product for government e-catalogue procurement. Currently eKatalog lists Emmo-JVX GT with price tag of 49,950,000 per unit.
However, questions about the actual origin and value of the product surfaced almost immediately after the purchase became public. Social media users and investigative journalists at Tempo noted a strong design resemblance between the Emmo JVX-GT and the Kollter ES1-X PRO, sold on Alibaba by Guangzhou Yangfa E-Commerce Co., Ltd. at a listed price of approximately Rp 10,425,000 per unit — roughly one-quarter of BGN's procurement price.
BGN Chief Dadan Hindayana pushed back, telling Tempo on 13 April 2026: "Itu akun bodong. Baterai motor listrik saja harganya Rp 7 juta, belum dinamo dan controller, dan peralatan lainnya." ("That is a fake account. The battery alone costs Rp 7 million, not counting the motor, controller, and other equipment.") He added that the Emmo brand is sold in Indonesia, while the same underlying platform is marketed in China, Europe, and the United States under the brand name Tinbot by Joule Motorcycles, where the Kollter ES1 PRO-L is listed at USD 6,900 (discounted to USD 5,900) per unit.
The Alibaba listing, the Tinbot/Joule pricing, and the Tendata import records — showing PT Adlas sourcing from Taizhou Okla Automobile Co., Ltd. and Changzhou Bolt Intelligent Technical Co., Ltd. in February 2026 — together suggest that the "Emmo" brand is a rebranded Chinese platform assembled in Indonesia. That local assembly process is precisely what generates the 48.5% TKDN score: by importing SKD kits (chassis from Okla, electronics from Bolt) and completing final assembly domestically, PT Adlas clears the local-content threshold that unlocks government catalogue eligibility — while the base component cost remains firmly Chinese.
The Delivery Layer — PT Yasa Lists Papua Shipping as a Separate Line Item
Beyond the hardware, procurement records on the government e-catalogue reveal that PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal listed dedicated two-wheeled motorcycle delivery (jasa pengiriman motor roda 2) services as separately priced PDN-verified products — meaning the logistics margin is billed on top of the unit price.
The Papua Pegunungan (Highland Papua) delivery fee of Rp 19,209,000 per unit — nearly half the cost of the motorcycle itself — is especially notable. It is in the Papua highlands where SAM Air operates its Cessna 208 Caravan and DHC-6 Twin Otter fleet on pioneer routes. The vertical integration is self-evident: PT Adlas sells the bike, PT Yasa bills for the delivery, and SAM Air flies it there. Every rupiah stays inside the group.
The Military Link
The analysis of the Yasa Group is not complete without noting its deliberate placement of senior military figures in its corporate governance structure.

Laksda TNI (Ret.) Ir. A. Budiharja Raden sits as President Commissioner of SAM Air (PT Semuwa Aviasi Mandiri) and holds Rp 7,500,000,000 in SAM Air shares — making him not merely a figurehead but a significant equity stakeholder. He previously served as Expert Staff for Politics to the Minister of Defence and holds a background in naval engineering (Laksda = Vice Admiral). His presence on the board of a pioneer airline operating in Papua — a strategically sensitive region — alongside a logistics group holding active government contracts is a configuration that repeats across many well-connected Indonesian conglomerates.
The pattern serves multiple purposes: access to government tender networks, credibility in security-sensitive procurement (Papua is a conflict-affected region requiring special operational permits), and institutional knowledge of how to navigate the certification, verification, and TKDN processes that underpin billion-rupiah government contracts.
It is worth stating plainly: the presence of retired military figures on corporate boards is legal and common in Indonesia. What makes it analytically significant here is the concentration — a single tightly-held family group, controlling an airline, a logistics company, an e-bike importer, and a construction firm, with a Vice Admiral on the board and active contracts spanning Bulog, BGN, and the Ministry of Transportation.
