BYD has confirmed its intention to expand its offerings in Pakistan with both battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). However, details regarding the potential investment in a local factory have not been fully disclosed. Pakistan’s automotive market has attracted interest from various Chinese companies, but EV sales still represent a small portion of the overall market.
