The Sindh government has unveiled an initiative to establish a mini-truck assembly plant in Karachi, in partnership with Chinese stakeholders, as part of its broader strategy to promote local vehicle manufacturing.
Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced that Chinese investors have committed to the project, which includes plans to develop a network of electric vehicle charging stations across the province.
The official launch of the Super Mini Truck took place in Bozhou, China, with key attendees including Ministers Sharjeel Inam Memon and Syed Nasir Hussain Shah.
The vehicle, developed collaboratively by Chery Holding and Pedi Technology, is engineered to address logistical needs in both urban and rural settings, offering an environmentally sustainable transportation solution.
A notable feature of the Super Mini Truck is its ability to be converted into a compact passenger vehicle, reflecting a flexible and innovative response to the growing demand for light commercial transport solutions in Pakistan.
Minister Memon emphasized the project’s strategic importance, saying that it will spur industrial growth, encourage domestic production of vehicle components, generate employment, and facilitate the transfer of advanced automotive technologies to Pakistan.
He further said that the initiative would serve both commercial enterprises and individual users, positioning Karachi as a regional center for automotive production.
