LAHORE / KARACHI: In collaboration with a Chinese commercial vehicle brand, Jinbei Pakistan has announced plans to import vans and minivans initially and start production in next two to three years, including passenger cars and mini-trucks.
Jinbei is a commercial vehicle brand of China owned by Brilliance Auto Group, the exclusive joint-venture partner and manufacturer of BMW in China.
“We are starting with completely built units (CBUs) and simultaneously have started documentation process for our production facility in Karachi. Hopefully, in the next two to three years, we will start working on completely knocked down (CKD) units,” said Jinbei Pakistan Managing Director Usman Shami while speaking to The Express Tribune.
He said Jinbei Pakistan would be selling around 300 to 500 vehicles in the first year. “It is feasible to import these vehicles for the time being.”
The company will initially import 11-seater X30, which has a tentative price of Rs1.66 million. The vehicle is similar to Suzuki’s APV.
A slightly larger model of this, X30L, will cost Rs1.71 million. The price tag for vehicles with 14 to 16-seat capacity becomes steeper as the cost of H-1 and H-2 Hiace will be Rs2.58 million and Rs3.55 million respectively.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is having an impact on the Industrial sector and the automobile industry is no exception. Healthy relations between Pakistan and China means Chinese auto manufacturers can easily enter the market gaining maximum benefits from the government and cars with a low price tag means the potential to attract buyers easily. Zotye and Great Wall are two Chinese automakers which are following the above strategy to enter the Pakistani market.
Zotye:
While established back in 2005 Zotye is a private car manufacturer in China with a strong history of reliable cars and expanding the lineup. Although Zotye is operational in Pakistan under HRL Motors it was until recently when HRL Motors announced their plans to bring different Zotye models here. Current social media teaser points to the possible release of the Zotye Z100 somewhere in this month. When inquired about an update, the HRL Motors responded “A number of models are in the pipeline and we will be introducing 1300, 1600 and SUV and luxury range as well. Please stay connected to our page for updates. Thank you.”
