Prime Minister Imran Khan will launch Pakistan’s first-ever locally produced E-bike today (Thursday).
The launching of the E-Bike was a part of this government’s five-year Pakistan Electric Vehicles Policy 2020-2025, approved last year and envisaged targeting a strong electric vehicle market having a 30% and 90% share in passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks by 2030 and 2040 respectively.
The salient features of the policy included a phased transition of the car industry because it would be covering two and three-wheelers and heavy commercial vehicles providing incentives to manufacturers.
