On August 13, 2025, AHK Indonesia/EKONID attended the launch event of our member Schaeffler’s latest initiative in Indonesia – the REPXPERT Mobile Technical Training Van. This is Schaeffler’s first mobile training van in Indonesia and the third in Southeast Asia, following similar launches in Thailand and the Philippines.
The event began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Schaeffler representatives, including Mr. Micah Shepard, President of Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions Asia Pacific; Mr. Craig Edwards, President Director of PT Schaeffler Solutions Indonesia; and Mr. Chatchawan Somjeen, President of Schaeffler Vehicle Lifetime Solutions Japan and Southeast Asia-Pacific.
In his remarks, Mr. Chatchawan Somjeen showed Schaeffler’s commitment to Indonesia through this program, “The REPXPERT Mobile Training Van brings advanced knowledge and practical skills directly to independent garages across Indonesia, covering journeys of over 6,800 kilometers across Java and Sumatra.”
The REPXPERT Mobile Training Van is a hands-on learning facility that travels to independent garages, helping mechanics work with increasingly complex vehicles. Inside, it’s equipped with Schaeffler’s repair solutions from its well-known brands: INA for engine systems, LuK for transmission systems, FAG for chassis systems, and Schaeffler TruPower for maintenance. With guidance from expert trainers, participants can practice real repair techniques, learn about the latest technologies, and improve their skills.
Alongside the in-person training, Schaeffler also offers the REPXPERT garage portal and mobile app. These give workshops online access to technical guides, repair instructions, and product information. The app is free to download on iOS and Android.
AHK Indonesia/EKONID congratulates Schaeffler on the successful launch of the REPXPERT Mobile Training Van. We look forward to future innovations and advancements from Schaeffler.
