Pakistan To Manufacture KIA Vehicles With Iran's Collaboration

[WaLeEdK2]

ISLAMABAD: Member of Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) Sohail Bashir Rana has said that Pakistan is going to produce KIA vehicles with the collaboration of Iran.

In an interview with IRNA, he said that Kia is in talks with Pakistani 'Lucky' Company to restart manufacturing facility in Pakistan.

He said Kia cars had been assembled by Pakistan in the past but they stopped production because of some problems.

Director Millat Tractors Limited (MTL) said Kia has a very big set up in Iran so the Kia plant in Iran will provide components of Kia vehicles to Pakistani plant.

He said that Iran and Pakistan have been collaborating in manufacturing of vehicles mainly the tractors.

Member PAMA said that in past Millat Tractors of Pakistan had collaboration with Iran Tractor Manufacturing Company and Sarzan Motors for making the tractor components.

"We are in talks with these companies to restart this facility again, there are some procedural problems like lack of banking channel but I am hopeful that these hurdles would be removed in near future," he said.

Sohail Bashir Rana added that German Volkswagen and French Renu companies have also shown interest in establishing car manufacturing plants in Pakistan with the collaboration of local companies.

Hmmm,

Interesting. So KIA also have to be added in the list of CAR companies coming to Pakistan. Let's see what is more to come.

The car prices are so high in pakistan that i would want companies even from Rowanda to come and make cars to slice away Toyota and Suzuki's share.

Sick of their overpriced pieces of crap.

Majority won't buy these cars & instead will go with mehran dabba because of "Resale Value"

Better to focus on bringing European companies rather than Asian junk!

Okay, so what do you say about FORD: 'Found on Road Dead'.

KIA might as well be 'Killed in Action' because of the quality.

"Brakes" are needed. "Breaks" are not needed--especially in productions.

Then the new commers should do something to improve their resale value. That's the key factor, not only in Pakistan but in whole world, and that revolves around easy availability of spare parts in consumer's vicinity.

I have driven it.and it is indeed junk..Korean cars are only about good looks...the engine..transmission..suspension everything sucks..the material quality is soo rubbish it wears down in six months..

KIA copies BMW.

they copy the front from one European marquee and the back from another..and somewhat try to create a hybrid out of illegitimate intercourse.
