Hinopak to Export Buses from Pakistan to ME and Africa

[Abu Zolfiqar]

KARACHI: Hinopak is Pakistan's first automobile company to export its buses to Middle East and African countries in early 1990's and once again Hinopak would take a gigantic leap in the international market by starting export of buses to Middle East and Africa, a statement released on Friday said.

In the statement Mohammad Irfan Sheikh, Director Sales and Marketing, Hinopak stated that it is proud to mention that Hinopak has been chosen as a hub by its principal Hino Motors, Ltd., Japan for manufacturing Hino buses for export to Middle East and Africa.

In this regard the first meeting with Hino distributors from Middleast and Africa was held in November last year, where Hino distributors showed their keen interest in Hino buses because of their quality which is not less than any international bus.

Irfan also congratulated the CDGK to start the pilot project by inducting CNG buses in the Karachi transport system. He further added that it is one such step which would augurs well for the citizens of Karachi and would provide impetus for the future induction of both new CNG and Diesel buses in Karachi and also in other cities of Pakistan especially in Punjab.

He mentioned that, in Punjab more than 1500 urban buses are successfully operating on the roads and facilitating the commuters. He also urged the government of Punjab to start the operation of locally produced CNG buses which would definitely modernize the existing urban transport system.

He also said that Hinopak always consider the requirements of Pakistani transporters and introduce the revolutionary technologies in this regards. One of the recent examples is the induction of two new prime movers and Hino High power Dutro Super in its product range.

The new prime movers Hino FG1J PM, Hino FM1J PM and Hino High Power Dutro Super are designed on the basis of research from our Japanese and Pakistani engineers to cater the needs of transportation sector and NHA loading requirements.

Since its inception Hinopak is continuously introducing the variety of buses for different operational requirements such as intercity, intracity and tour buses. These buses are started from 15 seaters to 63 seaters and providing safe and comfortable journeys to the passengers of the country and to the foreign markets.

u answered your own question


by the way, CNG buses are new in the lineup. So i guess they were first introduced in Japan and then later introduced in Pakistan -where CNG is becoming/will become the norm for smaller displacement vehicles as well as public transport

And it is again an honour for me to become the first person in Pakistan who sold first CNG bus in Pakistani market entirely & indigenously manufactured by Hinopak Motors Ltd. under the supervision of Japanese experts from Hino Motors Ltd.
But still I think I have to contribute more for my country...
