"The target is to produce 10,000 units going forward, with the goal of 5,000 units in the first 100 days," he said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

Previously, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi confirmed that cabinet members will use Maung vehicles produced by PT Pindad as their official cars.
