Maung Cars Soon to be Sold to the General Public, Deddy Corbuzier Interested and Ready to Buy with Personal Money

Kapanlagi.com - Deddy Corbuzier, a familiar figure in the Indonesian entertainment world, has once again shown a deep interest in the tactical Maung MV3 car made by PT Pindad. Since its launch, Deddy has been eager to learn more about the specifications and whether this car can be accessible to the general public.

During his visit to PT Pindad in Bandung, West Java, he even directly asked the Director of Technology and Development, Prima Kharisma, whether the Maung MV3 would be sold for civilian use. "Since the first time I met him (Prima), my first question was whether it would be sold for civilians or not?" said Deddy as quoted by ANTARA.

Deddy emphasized that if the Maung MV3 is indeed available for the public, he would not hesitate to buy it with his own money. “I will buy it with my own money,” he asserted. However, the big question that still lingers is how much one has to pay for this tactical vehicle.

1. PT Pindad Still Keeps the Price of Maung MV3 a Secret

Despite the growing enthusiasm from the public, including the famous figure Deddy Corbuzier, PT Pindad is still reluctant to reveal the selling price of the much-anticipated Maung MV3.

The Director of Technology and Development at PT Pindad, Prima Kharisma, stated that the company's main focus right now is to prepare this vehicle unit for officials in the Red and White Cabinet.

This is also supported by the Production Director of PT Pindad, Hera Rosmiati, who mentioned that they are still in the process of compiling an official price list for various products, including the Maung MV3.

One of the reasons behind this price uncertainty is that the Maung MV3 was originally designed for military purposes and has now functioned as a tactical vehicle for TNI command units, even becoming the official vehicle for President Prabowo Subianto.

2. Pindad's Steps Before Selling Maung to the Civil Market

Before officially launching to the public, the Maung MV3 must pass through a series of important stages, including obtaining a roadworthy certificate from the Vehicle Testing Certification Institute (BPSJSKB) of the Ministry of Transportation. Without this certification, this highly anticipated car cannot operate on public roads by civilians.

Prima Kharisma revealed that PT Pindad is currently processing the certification, and if all goes smoothly, this process is expected to be completed in the near future.

After obtaining official permission, PT Pindad plans to start mass production of the Maung MV3, with the initial distribution likely targeting government institutions and ministries, before eventually reaching a broader market.

3. The Role of Maung MV3 in Prabowo's Government

The Maung MV3 has now become a star in the government of Prabowo Subianto after he was officially inaugurated as President of Indonesia on October 20, 2024.

By choosing the Maung as the official vehicle, this step not only strengthens the Maung's image but also triggers a surge in production to meet the operational needs of the ministers and deputy ministers in his cabinet.

The popularity of the Maung among government officials has prompted PT Pindad to consider producing a civilian version, given its durability and off-road capabilities, which are very appealing to those who enjoy adventures in extreme terrains.

However, PT Pindad remains cautious, designing modifications to some military features to comply with civil vehicle regulations in Indonesia, so that the Maung is ready to reach more enthusiasts in the market.

4. When Can the Maung MV3 Be Purchased by the General Public?

The question currently lingering in the public's mind is when the Maung MV3 will officially be available in the market. Although PT Pindad has not provided a launch date for its civilian version, the ongoing certification process gives hope that an announcement will come in the next few months.

According to PT Pindad officials, the initial distribution focus will be directed towards government needs, before eventually opening the doors to the civilian market. For those who can’t wait, including Deddy Corbuzier, the hope of owning this vehicle is getting closer.

Once the official price is announced, prospective buyers can immediately consider whether the Maung MV3 is worth adding to their personal vehicle collection.
