BYD-MMC, Pakistan reaches 10,000-vehicle milestone

BYD-MMC announced on Friday that it has hit 10,000 vehicles in Pakistan, according to Business Recorder. The company said this pace is the quickest any newcomer in the new energy vehicle category has managed in the local car industry. The line-up began with the Atto 3 and Seal and now runs to five models, adding the Atto 2, the country's top-selling EV, the Sealion 7, and the Shark 6, which is Pakistan's first plug-in hybrid pickup.

Liu Xueliang, Vice President of BYD Co. Ltd. and General Manager of BYD Asia Pacific Auto Sales Division, said Pakistan has become a significant market in the group's global expansion and that consumer trust in the brand matters greatly to the company. Aly Khan, CEO of MMC, said the figure means far more than a tally, pointing to the groundwork MMC has laid for new energy mobility in Pakistan.

MMC is readying an NEV assembly plant that it describes as the first and largest of its kind in Pakistan. Khan said this step opens a new phase for the company's work on mobility in the country.
