BYD to Introduce Electric Vehicles in Pakistan

Rahmat Group have signed an agreement with BYD– China’s largest electric vehicle maker for assembly and manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan. According to available information, various EVs including buses, passenger cars, vans, batteries, chargers and related components will not only be made for Pakistani market, but will serve the region as well.

According to Shaukat Qureshi, CEO of Rahmat Group, the company has also shared the advantages of EVs with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan via a letter. As per which the EVs would primarily benefit motorbike owners, who will be able to save up to Rs 4,000 a month on account of fuel costs, alongside zero maintenance. Small passenger cars and LCV owners would be able to save up to Rs 25,000 per month followed by coaches and buses which will see Rs 300,000 to up to 500,000 savings per month. The EVs also produce zero emissions which is a big bonus to tackle environmental pollution concerns.

Backed by US billionaire Warren Buffett, BYD has footprints spanning over 6 continents, 50 countries and more than 200 cities across the world, with largest market share in the USA, followed by Europe. BYD has over 40 manufacturing sites, with a workforce of 230,000+ employees worldwide.

Shaukat Qureshi further added that BYD intends to set up charging stations in collaboration with Total Parco. Last year, Rahmat Group signed at least 14 MoUs and technical collaboration agreements with various Chinese companies to establish Electrical Complex at Nooriabad. The company will also develop two wheelers through MOUs with other companies

The car has a 50kwh battery pack, sustaining about 300 to 400km. Even with 10k units in operation, the electricity consumption is still very minor, if compared with the overall capacity of the power grid.

Ask for technology and build these electric cars in Pakistan. Choke Japanese car market in Pakistan. These bastards have ripoff thousand of people by selling sub-standard Japanese cars.

BYD will soon enter the auto industry of Pakistan

The world’s largest electric auto manufacturer BYD is gearing up to manufacture electric vehicles in 44 plants around the globe and ready to make its debut in Pakistan as well.


A local investor, Rahmat Group signed an agreement with the Chinese auto manufacturer in the first quarter of this year for the assembling of electric vehicles in Pakistan. The company is currently operating in more than 50 countries around the world. BYD Co. Limited also holds the largest market share in the United States.

The multinational company has a turnover of $250 billion and it will be an immensely positive prospect in the auto sector of Pakistan. The country’s first-ever electric vehicle (EV) policy has also been approved by the Cabinet and several companies will be interested in producing electric cars in Pakistan under the new policy. Recently, the Japanese auto giant Toyota signed an agreement with BYD to manufacture electric cars around the world.

BYD Co. Ltd in collaboration with Rahmat Group will soon start manufacturing electric vehicles in the country which will also force the existing auto players to move towards the electric mobility to compete in the market.

Furthermore, BYD is also planning to set up charging stations in Pakistan which will be done in association with the leading oil company in the country, Total Parco. Nonetheless, the introduction of electric cars will reduce carbon emissions and save the atmosphere from the adverse effects of pollution.

Moreover, according to the adviser to PM on Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam, the introduction of electric cars will reduce the country’s oil import bill by $2 billion annually. Also, the government aims to launch an electric-based transport system that will revolutionize the transport sector as well. He also said that the government is in the process of issuing SRO’s related to the electric vehicle policy that will kick-off the shift towards electric mobility. As far as consumers are concerned, the electric cars will reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicles thus offering a major benefit. A local private company has also successfully developed an EV conversion kit that could be used to convert a combustion engine vehicle into an electric vehicle. The PM has the vision to convert 30% of the vehicles in the country to electric by the year 2030.

There is. And if there is not then new electricity would come in few years as new thar block karachi nuclear power plants and few large dams would be constructed and casa is also under construction .
There is a project of solar and wind in balochistan too .
This need would make electricity quite cheap .

Whats the progress on BYD's plant so far?
Now the government has even announced an EV policy..

Few weeks backs they visited the market and shows their intent .
Now they are announcing the plant with a pakistani company .
Things are moving very fast by Pakistani standards .
