The agreement aims to manufacture, market, distribute, and sell BYD electric passenger vehicles in Pakistan. This partnership marks a significant step toward boosting the country’s electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Key Details of the Agreement
The two companies signed a Master Supply and Manufacture Agreement. Under this deal, Mega Motors will collaborate with BYD to produce electric vehicles (EVs) locally. The agreement covers the manufacturing of BYD brand passenger vehicles, including their marketing, distribution, and sale in Pakistan.
