E-Mobility for Campuses and Cities in Malang

Why This Project Matters

Malang is a dynamic education and tourism city that faces growing urban mobility challenges—congestion, air pollution, carbon emissions, and inefficient connectivity between campus zones and the city core. Traditional transport options struggle to meet the mobility needs of students, staff, workers, and visitors, while reliance on fossil-fueled vehicles undermines Malang’s ambitions as a future-ready “green city.” If unaddressed, these challenges threaten economic growth, liveability, public health, and Malang’s ability to attract regional talent and investment.

Transitioning to a smart, digitally enabled, and sustainable e-mobility system is crucial. Such a transformation will:

• Reduce urban congestion and air pollution,

• Improve accessibility and last-mile connectivity for all campus and city residents,

• Support Malang’s branding as an innovation hub and green destination,

• Accelerate Indonesia’s broader climate and digitalization commitments.

Project Outcomes: Immediate, Mid-Term, Long-Term

Immediate Outcomes (Year 1)

• Baseline data collected on campus and intra-city mobility patterns and user needs.

• Pilot deployment of e-mobility solutions (e-shuttles, bikes, charging stations) in select campuses/zones.

• Initial launch of digital dashboard for route planning and usage analytics.

• Stakeholder engagement: universities, local government, student bodies, businesses, and transport providers.

Impact:
Faster, more convenient campus movement. Increased awareness of e-mobility benefits and proof-of-concept for digital platforms in transport.

Mid-Term Outcomes (Years 2–5)

• Expansion of e-mobility services across multiple campuses and key city corridors.

• Integration of renewable-powered charging infrastructure and real-time IoT monitoring.

• Broader community adoption: inclusion of local commuters, visitors, and small businesses.

• Policy recommendations developed for citywide e-mobility incentives and low-emission transport zones.

Impact:
Noticeable decrease in private fuel vehicle use, lower congestion in city center, improved air quality, and growth of new jobs in green and digital economy sectors.

Long-Term Outcomes (Years 6–10)

• Fully integrated, citywide smart transport network using digital payment, route optimization, and modal connectivity.

• Malang recognized as a leader in e-mobility and digital urban innovation beyond Indonesia.

• Replication of e-mobility blueprint in other Indonesian cities and university clusters.

• New city data infrastructure ecosystem enables research, business innovation, and policy experimentation.

Impact:
Sustained reduction in traffic emissions; increased urban appeal for residents, students, and enterprises; citywide improvement in public health and productivity.

Strategic Vision (10–20 Years)

• Malang is known regionally as a “smart, green mobility city” and education-tourism powerhouse.

• Integration of autonomous e-transit, renewable microgrids, and adaptive mobility platforms.

• Broad digital inclusion: equitable access for disabled, elderly, and minority populations.

• E-mobility sector anchors local manufacturing, research, and skill development.

Impact:
Enduring gain in Malang’s economic competitiveness, climate leadership, and urban resilience. Living lab status fuels continuous innovation and knowledge sharing throughout Southeast Asia.
