PT Astra Honda Motor operates as a motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is a 50-50 joint enterprise owned by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and Astra International.

History

The company’s roots date back to 1971 when it was established as PT. Federal Motor, responsible for assembling Honda motorcycles and acting as the exclusive distributor. The formal partnership between Honda and Astra International was established in 2000, leading to the launch of operations in January 2001 through the consolidation of PT. Federal Motor and PT. Honda Federal.

By 2003, Astra Honda Motor had achieved the milestone of producing ten million motorcycles domestically. The firm increased its production capabilities by opening a third manufacturing facility in Bekasi during 2004–2005, followed by a fourth plant in Karawang in 2015. With an annual output capacity reaching 5.3 million units, Astra Honda Motor stands as the largest Honda motorcycle manufacturer globally.

As of early 2015, the workforce numbered around 22,400 employees. Astra Honda commands a leading share of Indonesia’s motorcycle market, holding 73% during the first half of 2016. Indonesia is among Southeast Asia’s biggest motorcycle markets, with yearly sales surpassing seven million units.
