noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:12:00 +0000

In a high-level briefing to the Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif and federal cabinet, SLM presented its ambitious future growth strategy, highlighting a planned investment of $120 million to expand its operations. The company revealed that $40 million will be utilized for Truck and Bus Radial (TBR) capacity expansion, while $80 million has been earmarked for establishing a new Passenger Car Radial (PCR) manufacturing facility within its existing premises.

During the presentation, Chairman & CEO of SLM shared its remarkable achievements in a short span of time, positioning itself as a key player in the global tire industry. The company has already emerged as the third-largest manufacturing facility in Asia outside China, while also securing strong export rankings—standing as the 10th largest exporter to the United States and the 7th largest exporter to Brazil.

Building on its current momentum, SLM aims to significantly boost its export performance in the coming years. The company is on track to reach an annual export target of $100 million within just five years of operations, a milestone that would place it among a limited number of non-textile sector companies achieving such rapid growth and global market penetration.

Pakistan updates import valuation for global Battery brands

noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:15:00 +0000

The Directorate General of Customs Valuation, Karachi, has issued a new Valuation Ruling (No. 2062/2026), revising the customs values of imported lithium-ion battery packs in response to rising global prices and market dynamics. The updated ruling replaces the previous 2025 framework and establishes fresh Cost and Freight (C&F) benchmarks for different battery categories, aiming to ensure fair taxation and accurate import assessments.

According to the ruling, the customs values have been determined after extensive analysis of import data, market trends, and stakeholder consultations held on February 27, 2026. Due to inconsistencies in declared transaction values and lack of reliable data, authorities adopted the market inquiry method under Section 25(7) of the Customs Act, 1969, to finalize the new valuation structure.

For lithium-ion batteries with IP-20 rating, Tier-1 brands will be assessed at $10.92 per kg or $92 per kWh (whichever is higher), while other brands will be valued at $9.50 per kg or $80 per kWh. In the IP-21 category, the customs value for Tier-1 brands has been set at $11.32 per kg or $95 per kWh, compared to $9.95 per kg or $82.75 per kWh for other brands.

Meanwhile, higher protection IP-65 batteries—commonly used in industrial and energy storage applications—have been assigned the highest values. Tier-1 brands in this category will be assessed at $12.84 per kg or $109 per kWh, whereas other brands will carry a valuation of $11.17 per kg or $95 per kWh, whichever is higher.

The ruling also specifies that if lithium-ion batteries include 4G or 5G functionality, an additional 8% value addition will be applied to the assessed value, reflecting their enhanced technological features.

A comprehensive list of Tier-1 battery manufacturers has been included, featuring globally recognized names such as BYD, Tesla, Huawei, ZOE Energy Storage, WHES, Waftsila, Trina Storage, Teclornan, Sunwoda Energy, Sungrow, SolaX Power, Shoto / Shuangdeng, Sermatec, Saft, Roche Energy, REPT BATTERO, Powin Energy, PotisEdge, NHOA Energy, Narada, Kehua, Jinko, JD Energy, Hyperstrong, Hoymiles, Hoenergy, Hithium, Gree Altairnano, Great Power, Gotion High-Tech, Fluence, FlexGen Power Systems, Eve Energy, Envision Energy / AESC, EAST GROUP, DESAY, Cubenergy, CRRC Zhuzhou, COSPOWERS, Cornex, CLOU Electronics, Chint Power, CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology), Canadian Solare-STORAGE, CALB. These brands are typically associated with high-performance energy storage systems and large-scale applications.

It is important to note that these revised customs values do not apply to lithium-ion batteries used in mobile phones, laptops, tablets, and similar consumer electronics. Additionally, if the declared import value exceeds the notified customs value, duties and taxes will be calculated based on the higher amount.

The new valuation ruling is expected to significantly impact import costs, pricing structures, and the broader energy storage and electric mobility sectors in Pakistan, particularly as demand for advanced battery technologies continues to grow.

Maryam Nawaz launches first-ever E-Taxi Scheme to promote E-Mobility

noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 14:28:00 +0000

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has officially launched an e-taxi scheme in the province, describing it as a major step toward establishing a comprehensive “e-mobility ecosystem.” The initiative aims to promote environmentally friendly transport while creating new employment opportunities across Punjab.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the chief minister announced that approximately 1,100 electric taxis will be introduced under the scheme at subsidized rates. Notably, 30 per cent of the quota has been reserved for women, making inclusivity a central feature of the programmed. She highlighted that Punjab is the first province in the country to roll out such a scheme, calling it a milestone for both sustainable development and job creation.

CM Maryam Nawaz said the e-taxi project aligns with the provincial government’s broader green transport vision. She pointed to existing green bus services as an example and revealed plans to expand environmentally friendly public transport to all 148 tehsils of Punjab in the coming phase.

Detailing the financial support, the chief minister stated that the government is providing subsidies of up to Rs4 billion for the 1,100 electric vehicles. To ease access for drivers, the Punjab government will cover 15 per cent of the required 30 per cent down payment. As a result, beneficiaries can take delivery of an e-taxi by paying Rs690,000 upfront.

For women applicants, the support is even greater, with the government bearing 60 per cent of the down payment cost. CM Maryam Nawaz also announced that the newly launched pink and green e-taxis would begin operating on the roads of Lahore and other districts within the next 48 hours, marking a visible shift toward cleaner and smarter urban mobility.

OKLA Pakistan becomes a leading Electric Two-Wheeler brand

noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 13:15:00 +0000

OKLA Pakistan has rapidly positioned itself as one of the fastest-growing electric two-wheeler brands in the country, achieving remarkable progress within just one year of operations. With a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and modern retail practices, OKLA has successfully set new benchmarks in Pakistan’s evolving electric mobility sector.

The journey began in July 2024 with the inauguration of OKLA Pakistan’s first experience center in Lahore. This state-of-the-art facility introduced a modern and customer-centric culture to the two-wheeler business, allowing buyers to experience electric mobility firsthand. Following its success, OKLA expanded its footprint by launching additional experience centers in Islamabad and Karachi, all operating on the same premium and

standardized model. Alongside these centers, the brand has been rapidly expanding its dealership network across the country, making electric mobility more accessible to a wider audience.

Beyond retail growth, OKLA Pakistan has built a strong presence in the corporate and institutional sectors. Its client base includes government institutions, government-backed electric scooter schemes, and leading private-sector organizations. This diverse adoption reflects growing confidence in OKLA’s technology, reliability, and after-sales support.

One of the most significant milestones for OKLA Pakistan was its participation in the Pink Scooter Scheme launched by the Government of Sindh. Under this landmark initiative, OKLA Pakistan became the only electric two-wheeler brand selected to supply advanced electric scooters equipped with lithium-ion swappable battery technology. The electric scooters were formally handed over during the inaugural ceremony held on September 25, 2025, in Karachi, by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party. The scheme provides free electric scooters to students and working women across Sindh, empowering female riders with safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly transportation. Notably, this pioneering initiative remains exclusive to Sindh and has not yet been introduced by other provinces, making it a defining achievement for both the provincial government and OKLA Pakistan.

In 2025, the Government of Pakistan launched the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Program (PAVE Scheme), a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting electric scooter adoption through bank leasing and self-financing options. OKLA Pakistan actively participated in this program by offering two variants, OKT and OMIGO, both powered by Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, known for their durability and safety. The brand also ensured uninterrupted supplies to all its contractual and corporate partners, reinforcing its reputation for reliability.

OKLA products have also been adopted by key public-sector organizations. The Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) inducted the OKLA OKG electric motorbike into its field operations to enhance vigilance and support eco-friendly waste management services. Similarly, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) selected the OKLA OKG—featuring dual swappable lithium-ion batteries—for use at major airports in Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, and Islamabad.

In October 2025, OKLA Pakistan signed a significant corporate agreement with Allied Paint Industries (Gobis Paints) in Lahore. Under this partnership, OKLA will supply OKLA OKT electric scooters with lithium-ion batteries to Gobis Paints’ sales staff across Punjab, further strengthening OKLA’s corporate footprint.

OKLA Pakistan has introduced its advanced Swappable Battery Cabinet at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2025, marking a major leap in the country’s electric mobility ecosystem. As Pakistan’s pioneer in lithium-ion swappable battery technology, the company is redefining convenience by enabling electric two-wheeler users to swap batteries within seconds, making charging faster, smarter, and hassle-free.

Additionally, Fazal Din’s Pharma Plus, one of Pakistan’s largest pharmacy retail chains, has chosen OKLA electric two-wheelers for its staff as part of its commitment to environmentally friendly transportation. Many other multinational and corporate organizations are also transitioning to electric mobility, increasingly preferring OKLA products for their operational needs.

Strengthening its competitive edge further, OKLA Pakistan expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of three graphene battery-based electric two-wheelers. These new products have gained rapid market acceptance, placing OKLA in a strong and challenging position against competitors and driving impressive sales growth.

Marketing and consumer education remained a key focus throughout 2025. OKLA Pakistan actively participated in major auto shows across Lahore, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Faisalabad, and Karachi. These events enabled direct interaction with customers, helping them better understand electric two-wheelers, their benefits, and the latest technological advancements, while also allowing OKLA to gather valuable market feedback.

Within just a year, OKLA Pakistan has established itself as a key driver of electric two-wheeler adoption, combining innovation, trust, and sustainability to shape the future of mobility in Pakistan.

PEVMA raises red flags on PAVE localization plan

noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 11:18:00 +0000

The Pakistan Electric Vehicles Manufacturers Association (PEVMA) has formally conveyed its concerns to the Engineering Development Board (EDB) regarding the proposed mandatory localization requirements under the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicles Electrification (PAVE) Program. In a letter dated January 31, 2026, addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of EDB, PEVMA appreciated the government’s efforts to promote electric mobility but cautioned against enforcing rigid localization targets that could harm the industry and investor confidence.

In the letter, PEVMA’s, Senior Vice President, Waqas Ahmad Butt highlighted that the proposal to mandate over 85 percent localization of EV parts within the next three years, enforced through undertakings and performance bank guarantees, may conflict with Pakistan’s international trade obligations. As a signatory to the World Trade Organization (WTO), including the Trade-Related Investment Measures (TRIMs) Agreement, Pakistan is required to avoid discriminatory practices against imports. The association warned that compulsory local content requirements, particularly when backed by penalties or restrictions on lawful imports, could be viewed as inconsistent with WTO rules and expose Pakistan to potential trade disputes.

Waqas Ahmad Butt further pointed out that Pakistan already has a WTO-compliant, tariff-based localization framework in place. Under the existing system, EV-specific non-localized components such as batteries, motors, controllers, converters and chargers are subject to a minimal customs duty of 1 percent, while non-EV-specific parts attract cumulative duties of up to 46 percent. According to PEVMA, this differential duty structure naturally incentivizes localization without resorting to coercive measures.

In its conclusion, PEVMA reaffirmed its commitment to Pakistan’s industrialization and electrification goals. The association emphasized that localization achieved through predictable, tariff-based policies and close collaboration between the government and industry would be faster, deeper and more sustainable. PEVMA urged policymakers to rely on market-driven incentives rather than penalties and guarantees to support the long-term growth of Pakistan’s electric vehicle sector.

Atlas Honda remained the clear market leader, posting a substantial rise in production. Honda’s output grew from 1,123,068 units in 2024 to 1,477,564 units in 2025, an increase of over 354,000 motorcycles, reinforcing its dominance in the local market.

Other manufacturers also posted notable gains. UnitedMotorcycles increased production from 106,910 units in 2024 to 165,362 units in 2025, highlighting strong demand in the budget segment. Unique more than doubled its output, rising from 28,635 units to 54,501 units, indicating expanding market acceptance. Union Star recorded moderate growth from 23,867 units to 28,604 units, while Hi Speed showed impressive momentum, increasing production from 17,494 units to 27,981 units.

The broad-based growth across multiple brands signals a healthier and more competitive motorcycle industry. Market experts believe that if economic stability continues and financing options improve, motorcycle production and sales could maintain this upward trend in the coming years, further strengthening Pakistan’s two-wheeler sector.

Suzuki begins investigation after Fronx’s poor rating

noreply@blogger.com (MOBILE WORLD Magazine) — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 12:45:00 +0000

The Suzuki Fronx has received an updated one-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), raising fresh concerns about the vehicle’s safety performance. According to an ANCAP Consumer Alert, the downgrade followed multiple crash tests in which seatbelt malfunctions were repeatedly observed, particularly involving the rear seatbelt retractors.

ANCAP Chief Executive Officer Carla Hoorweg described the issue as rare but serious, stressing that ANCAP’s mission is to provide consumers with confidence and transparency. She noted that when critical safety failures are identified, the organization promptly communicates its findings in the public’s best interest.

According to media reports, Suzuki Australia issued a statement in response, reassuring customers that the reported concerns are being addressed. The automaker confirmed that the ANCAP findings have been escalated to its global headquarters and that a thorough and disciplined investigation is currently underway.

The report noted that approximately 1,300 Suzuki Fronx units have been sold in Australia, with a further 1,000 units delivered in New Zealand. At the time of reporting, Suzuki has not issued any recalls in either market.

It is also important to note that it remains unclear where the Fronx units sold in Australia and New Zealand are sourced from. Vehicles tested by ASEAN NCAP, which are also available in the Philippines, are manufactured in Indonesia, while Fronx models supplied to other markets are produced at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant in India.

Despite the ANCAP downgrade, the Suzuki Fronx previously secured a five-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP in September, highlighting a sharp contrast in safety assessments across different regions.

PAVE Sets December 20 Deadline for Self-Finance EV Applicants

An important notification has been issued for all applicants of the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) Scheme (Phase 1) who are registered under the subsidized Self-Finance Electric Vehicle (EV) Scheme, emphasizing that December 20, 2025, is the final deadline to submit the required Pay Order or Demand Draft.

According to the official notice, this deadline is strictly applicable to self-finance applicants who wish to continue availing benefits under the government-backed EV subsidy program. Applicants who fail to submit the required payment instrument by the stated date will be considered not interested in proceeding with the scheme.

As a consequence of non-compliance, the authorities have made it clear that the allocated EV slots of defaulting applicants will be cancelled without further notice. These cancelled slots will then be reassigned to the next eligible applicants on the waiting list, ensuring transparency and efficient utilization of available subsidies.

The Self-Finance Scheme aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles by offering significant financial incentives. Under the program, subsidies include up to Rs. 80,000 for 2-wheeler electric vehicles and up to Rs. 400,000 for 3-wheeler electric vehicles, making EV ownership more affordable for the public.

PAVE has urged all concerned applicants to complete their payment process well before the deadline to avoid last-minute issues and ensure confirmation of their EV allocation. The support team reiterated that no extensions will be granted, and timely submission is essential to retain eligibility under the scheme.

Applicants are advised to stay updated through official communication channels and contact PAVE support for any clarification regarding documentation or submission procedures.
