95.97% of Pakistani problems are because of a jahil awam.

It was not always so jahil. It was actually very intellectually inclined. Loved religion(the true peaceful one) and cherished its values.

Now it is in an identity crisis!!!
Yes you are the only smart one

PM Abbasi breaks ground on Hyundai-Nishat vehicle assembly plant in Faisalabad
December 20, 2017

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi addresses the groundbreaking ceremony of Hyunday Nishat assmebly plant in Faisalabad.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the Hyundai Nishat vehicle assembly plant at Faisalabad's M-3 Industrial City took place on Wednesday, with local production of vehicles expected to begin within two years.

Hyundai Nishat Motor Ltd signed an investment agreement with the Ministry of Industries and Production under the Automotive Development Policy 2016-21 earlier this week to set up a greenfield project to undertake assembly and sale of passenger and one-tonne commercial vehicles.

The plant is a joint venture between the Hyundai Motor Company and local textile firm Nishat Mills.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, while addressing the ceremony, said that despite Pakistan's instabilities and issues over the last few years, "the path to progress has continued. This is manifestation of the trust the investor has in Pakistan's policies."

Abbasi assured attendees that the country was ripe for investment and the investors were beginning to see it. "Pakistan is not what you see on CNN, this is the real Pakistan," he said. "Pakistan is a story of many successes," he added.

He thanked the Hyundai and Nishat groups for collaborating to invest in Pakistan.

Hyundai's return to Pakistan will boost the government's efforts to shake up the Japanese-dominated car market and loosen the grip of Toyota, Honda and Suzuki, who assemble cars in Pakistan with local partners.

Hyundai and South Korea's Kia Motor used to assemble cars in Pakistan until 2004 but withdrew after their local partner Dewan Farooque Motors Limited went bust.

Nishat Mills is a subsidiary of Nishat Group, a giant in the Pakistani banking, textiles, energy and cement sectors.

Last year, French carmaker Renault agreed to invest in a new factory in Pakistan and South Korean carmaker Kia Motor Co said it would start assembling cars in a joint venture with Karachi-listed Lucky Cement, part of the vast conglomerate Yunus Brothers Group.

Iran and India both have invested in Automobile industry and we can see the results; they have their own brand of Cars. India had Tata group and many others, Iranian have IKCO Samand, Runna, Dena.
When Pakistan is going to launch it's own brand of Car? IMHO, Pakistan should consider building a Hybrid car, or build a plant to assemble TATA's new Hybrid Car.
Its going to haopen with united and carsaaz etc...issue is support from local community which you will see be lacking

Chinese automaker to launch 800cc car next year
December 22, 2017
KARACHI: A leading Chinese bike maker is gearing up to launch an 800cc car next year, a company official confirmed on Thursday.

Its launch will be followed by the end of the 30-year journey of iconic 800cc Suzuki Mehran in 2019.

United Auto Industries is venturing into car and pickup manufacturing, United Motors General Manager Muhammad Afzal told Dawn from Lahore.

He said the company will use Chinese technology and market its vehicles under the brand name of United. “The local assembly of these vehicles will begin in the first half of 2018,” he said.

The market is abuzz with reports that United is introducing Mehran and Ravi lookalikes with minor design variations to avoid copyright litigation.

“Our car and pickup are not the copy of Suzuki brands. Our vehicles are totally different and loaded with various attractive features and safety standards,” Mr Afzal said.

As for the pricing, he said the company intends to keep it “very affordable”. The official did not give any details about the company’s investment in the greenfield project, level of localisation, plant capacity and monthly production number.

In June, the government allowed United Motors, KIA-Lucky Motors and Hyundai Nishat Motor to set up greenfield projects under the new auto policy. These companies were promised special incentives by way of reduced customs duties on the import of completely knocked-down kits for local assembly.

Pak Suzuki plans to discontinue Mehran and introduce the next-generation 660cc Alto in March 2019. Alto will have a price tag of Rs850,000-900,000 for the basic variant.

Mehran, Ravi and Bolan, which belong to the 800cc category, constitute the largest auto segment with combined sales of approximately 8,000 vehicles per month.

Pak Suzuki has so far dominated this segment as vehicles produced by recent entrant Al-Haj FAW cost around Rs100,000 more than Ravi and Bolan.

Vendors of Japanese cars said it remains to be seen if United will make a dent in Pak Suzuki’s market share. Since 1989, Mehran has been the car of choice for customers as it helped them shift from motorcycles to four-wheelers.

Mehran’s affordable price, low-cost parts and after-sales network attract the middle class that cannot afford more expensive local or imported vehicles.

According to vendors, Chinese motorcycles were first rolled out in 2005 at prices that were 40 per cent lower than those of Japanese bikes. As a result, customers went wild for Chinese two-wheelers, which now control up to 60pc market share.
