What Happened
Hyundai Motor Company has launched the Hyundai Universal Solution project in Indonesia under its global Creating Shared Value (CSV) initiative, Hyundai Continue. The project is described as a mobility-area CSV project that improves access to social services such as education, healthcare and transportation for underserved and vulnerable communities through mobility solutions. It will deliver science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education on electric vehicles to up to 1,300 eighth-grade students and 130 teachers across 13 middle schools. Hyundai Motor, the Indonesian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), Save the Children, New Future Indonesia and the participating schools will collaborate on the project, which runs from October 2026 through October 2027.

1,300
Up to 1,300 students and 130 teachers across 13 middle schools in East and North Jakarta will take part.
Hyundai Motor will also deploy one EV bus as a mobile classroom that visits each school weekly, bringing content and equipment directly to schools with limited information and communication technology (ICT) resources. On board, the bus provides a learning environment equipped with tablet PCs and educational materials. Interactive digital learning experiences on the bus include the Minecraft-based educational content, which Hyundai says is intended to help students engage more actively with STEM concepts through hands-on and digital learning. The content is aligned with the national curriculum set by the Indonesian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and uses EV-related science and technology to introduce engineering, energy, environmental sustainability and urban planning.
- Improve access to education for students in underserved areas
- Give students opportunities to learn about EVs and STEM
Previously from Hyundai
Hyundai has recently been building out electric bus activity in Indonesia: it supplied 11 mid-size COUNTY EV buses for Bali's first electric bus public transportation project, with local body maker Laksana building the bodies on Hyundai's platforms. Today's project adds a different use for an electric bus in the country — a single EV bus serving as a weekly mobile classroom for schools with limited ICT resources.

Why this matters
The project gives roughly 1,300 eighth-grade students and 130 teachers in East and North Jakarta access to EV and engineering lessons, with materials also designed to be reused after the project ends. For Hyundai, it extends its global Creating Shared Value initiative into Indonesia's school system alongside government ministries, Save the Children and local partners.
