Green SM's presence in Palembang continues its journey of advancing green mobility in Indonesia, following its expansion into Jakarta, Makassar, Surabaya, Bali, and Bandar Lampung. This milestone also reaffirms the company's long-term commitment to delivering reliable and sustainable mobility solutions to an increasing number of Indonesians.

As one of Sumatra's largest hubs for trade and services, with a population of more than 1.8 million people, Palembang continues to see dynamic economic growth and rising demand for mobility.
