Chinese electric carmaker BYD Co. plans to build a factory in Karachi with a local partner to capture a share of Pakistan’s growing EV market.
On August 17th in Pakistan, BYD, a well-known Chinese producer of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), will have a major brand launch in collaboration with Mega Motor Company (Private) Limited, a Hub Power Company Limited (HUBCO) affiliate. With this event, BYD’s passenger cars will formally enter the Pakistani market and showcase their cutting-edge electric and plug-in hybrid automobiles.
In key Pakistani cities, advertisements hinting of BYD’s coming have been noticed in anticipation of this debut. The strategic alliance between BYD and Mega Motor Co. was unveiled in March with the goal of introducing state-of-the-art NEV solutions to Pakistan, a country that is becoming more and more interested in energy-efficient and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Through this partnership, cutting-edge, environmentally sustainable automobiles will completely transform the nation’s automotive market.
BYD has established a reputation for being a trailblazer in the manufacture of alternative energy vehicles. The business overtook international rivals in 2022 and 2023 to take the top spot in the new energy vehicle market. In slightly over three years, BYD has produced eight million vehicles—making it the first automotive brand in the world to accomplish this feat—after generating its one millionth new energy car in May 2021. A selection of BYD’s most recent models, which demonstrate the company’s dedication to sustainability and innovation, will also be on display at the impending brand launch in Pakistan.

Mega Motor Co. CEO Aly Khan highlighted his excitement about the agreement, saying, “Mega Motor Co.’s vision to support the national economy and contribute to reversing the impacts of climate change that affect Pakistan every year is reflected in the collaboration with BYD.” It gives us great pleasure to contribute to the government’s goal of putting more new energy cars on the road and lowering the usage of fossil fuels. This partnership is an important step forward for Pakistan’s automotive sector and our group’s efforts to create a sustainable future.
Apart from showcasing BYD’s cutting-edge new energy automobiles, the collaboration intends to create an extensive charging network throughout Pakistan. This program is essential to the broad adoption of NEVs and supports Pakistan’s objectives to lower its carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency in the country’s transportation sector. The growing number of electric vehicles on the road will be supported by the construction of a dependable and comprehensive charging network, which will facilitate consumers’ shift to more environmentally friendly forms of transportation.
Pakistan’s automotive industry is taking a big stride towards modernisation with the arrival of BYD’s NEVs. Customers looking for sustainable and energy-efficient choices will be satisfied by this launch, which will address the growing demand for environmentally friendly automobiles. Furthermore, BYD and Mega Motor Co.’s partnership highlights a common dedication to developing green technologies and promoting a healthy planet.
The collaboration between BYD and Mega Motor Co. underscores the significance of innovation and teamwork in accomplishing these objectives, particularly as the world transitions to a more sustainable future. The unveiling on August 17th will not only highlight BYD’s outstanding lineup of automobiles but also usher in a new chapter in Pakistani automotive history that places a premium on energy and sustainability.
