News Desk

Islamabad: Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant BYD, in collaboration with Pakistan’s Mega Motor Company (MMC), has officially commenced vehicle deliveries in the country, with up to 100 units set to be delivered within the first 48 hours of operations.

Customers in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad received 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 plans to establish 15 centres across Pakistan by 2025 to meet the growing demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs).

BYD’s country head for Pakistan, Lei Jian, described the development as a major step in the country’s shift towards sustainable mobility. “BYD has long been committed to advancing technology for a better future. We firmly believe our NEVs and innovations will contribute to Pakistan’s green development journey,” he said.

MMC, a subsidiary of Hub Power Company (HUBCO), is overseeing 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. “This marks the beginning of an exciting journey as we bring world-class NEV technology to Pakistan,” he stated.

BYD, the world’s largest NEV manufacturer, has expanded its footprint across Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Its entry into Pakistan comes amid a growing shift towards alternative fuel vehicles, as the country seeks to reduce its dependence on gasoline and diesel-powered cars.
