Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant BYD, in collaboration with Pakistan’s Mega Motor Company (MMC), has commenced vehicle deliveries in the country, with plans to deliver up to 100 units within the first 48 hours of operations.
Customers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad started receiving their BYD vehicles on Friday, following the launch of the company’s Experience and Care centres in key locations.
The rollout includes BYD’s SEAL and ATTO 3 models, with the company aiming to establish a total of 15 centres across Pakistan by 2025 to meet the anticipated demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs).
Lei Jian, BYD’s country head for Pakistan, described the development as a significant step towards the country’s transition to sustainable mobility. “BYD has long been committed to advancing technology for a better future. We firmly believe that our NEVs and innovations will contribute to Pakistan’s green development journey,” he said.
MMC, a subsidiary of Hub Power Company (HUBCO), is leading the local manufacturing, distribution, and sales of BYD-branded vehicles in Pakistan. MMC’s Vice President of Sales and Strategy, Danish Khaliq, expressed optimism about the partnership’s potential. “This marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we bring world-class NEV technology to Pakistan,” he said.
BYD, the world’s largest manufacturer of NEVs, has expanded its footprint in multiple regions, including Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The company’s entry into Pakistan comes amid growing interest in alternative fuel vehicles as the country looks to reduce reliance on conventional gasoline and diesel-powered cars.
