KARACHI – The Sindh government would establish a mini truck assembly line in Karachi with the Chinese firms’ support, a major step enhancing Pakistan-China industrial cooperation, Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon confirmed.
The Chinese companies agreed to invest in setting up the assembly plant in the provincial capital.
Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the initiative aims to support local businesses and individuals by offering innovative transport solutions. He also revealed that electric vehicle charging stations will soon be introduced across the province to promote clean energy mobility.
The announcement coincided with the launch ceremony of the Super Mini Truck in Bozhou, China.
Speaking at the event, Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon described the project as a groundbreaking example of bilateral industrial collaboration that promises new prospects for economic development in both nations.
Developed in partnership with Chinese automotive giant Chery Holding and Pedi Technology Company Limited, the Super Mini Truck is designed to address logistical challenges in both urban and rural settings. The vehicle is promoted as an affordable, sustainable, and practical option for light commercial use in Pakistan.
Highlighting the vehicle’s versatility, Memon said the Super Mini Truck features intelligent design, modern engineering, and eco-friendly adaptability. He emphasized that its production in Karachi will promote industrial growth, generate employment, and encourage the local manufacturing of auto parts.
“The launch of this assembly line is a crucial step towards making Karachi a regional hub for automotive production,” Memon stated. He added that the Sindh government is committed to facilitating the project through regulatory support, infrastructure development, and workforce training.
One of the vehicle’s key features, Memon noted, is its capability to be converted into a Super Mini Car, making it a multipurpose transport solution for varying market needs.
The launch event was attended by Sindh ministers Sharjeel Inam Memon and Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, along with Budget Petroleum Investment Holdings Group CEO Zahid Bashir, Chery Holding Chairman Yin Tongyue and other dignitaries.
