KARACHI: Chinese automotive giant BYD is poised to make its official entry into the Pakistani market, with a grand brand launch scheduled for August 17.

The world’s leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer has partnered with Mega Motor Company, a subsidiary of Hub Power Company Limited (Hubco), to introduce its range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to Pakistani consumers.

According to details, this strategic collaboration, first announced in March, aims to bring BYD’s cutting-edge NEV technology to a market increasingly interested in sustainable transportation options.

BYD’s entry into Pakistan comes on the heels of its impressive global performance, having claimed the title of world’s top NEV seller in both 2022 and 2023.

The company recently celebrated the production of its 8 millionth new energy vehicle, a milestone achieved in just over three years since reaching the 1 million mark in May 2021.

Aly Khan, CEO of Mega Motor Co, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This collaboration with BYD aligns with our vision to support the national economy and address climate change impact in Pakistan. We’re excited to contribute to the government’s goal of increasing NEV adoption and reducing fossil fuel dependency.”

The launch is expected to showcase a range of BYD’s latest models and includes plans for developing a comprehensive charging infrastructure, crucial for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in Pakistan. This venture is seen as a significant step for Pakistan’s automotive industry, potentially reshaping the market with advanced NEV options while supporting the country’s sustainable development goals.

@ali, that's not true actually. People want most of the power exported during the day for adjustment in import at night. Second, EVs can't be priced in gasoline cars range.

Could be game changer for Pakistan, if priced in the same range as existing autos. It can also solved the issue of excess capacity

Pakistan has to learn to make cars 100 percent. Depending on others is no solution.
