Local production of electric bikes urged


KARACHI, Dec 24 (Express Tribune): Bike assemblers and dealers are urging the government to formulate a policy on the localisation of Electric Vehicle (EV) motorbikes. They emphasise the need for attractive incentives to encourage e-bike companies to focus on "Make in Pakistan" electric scooters instead of importing 100 per cent Completely Knocked Down (CKD) units. The aim is to provide top-quality, competitively priced, durable electric scooters with improved after-sale services.
The consensus among industry experts is that all assemblers should shift their focus from "Made in China" to "Made in Pakistan" and evolve into manufacturers soon. They should tailor their approach to local needs, focusing on diversity and customer mindset, as well as robust infrastructure including swappable battery stations, proper roads, and the like.
