ISLAMABAD: Indus Motor Company (IMC), the assembler of Toyota vehicles in Pakistan, is gearing up to take a bold new turn.
The company is considering stepping into the commercial import of used vehicles, a move that could shake up Pakistan’s automotive market after the government opened the door to such imports.
According to Dawn, the automaker has already reached out to the Engineering Development Board (EDB), seeking clarity on documentation, procedures, and compliance requirements for importing used vehicles.
While IMC plans to continue its local assembly operations, which support employment and localisation, it is now ready to test the waters of used car imports. CEO Ali Asghar Jamali said the company would import all kinds of models as soon as possible.
When asked whether these imports would be cheaper than locally assembled units, he noted that the real cost difference would only become clear once the process began.
IMC says it is well-prepared to support this expansion through its wide network of 58 dealerships across the country. Each dealership is equipped with trained engineers and technicians to ensure reliable after-sales service for customers.
