LAHORE, Chinese new-energy vehicle (NEV) giant BYD is set to deepen its footprint in Pakistan, with its local partner Mega Motor Company (MMC) announcing plans to commence local assembly of the BYD SEALION 6 from the fourth quarter of 2026, marking a significant shift from vehicle imports towards domestic production.

The development was announced at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2026 here, on Friday afternoon, where BYD and MMC showcased the Chinese automaker’s expanding portfolio of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, alongside its luxury technology brand DENZA and a range of genuine BYD accessories.

The planned assembly of SEALION 6 represents a major milestone in BYD’s strategy for Pakistan and is expected to strengthen the company’s long-term presence in the country’s rapidly evolving automotive market. It would also position BYD among the Chinese automotive companies contributing to the localisation of new-energy vehicle manufacturing in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s Two- and Three-Wheeler Sales Hit Record 202,502 Units in September​

Pakistan’s two- and three-wheeler sales reached an all-time high of 202,502 units in September 2026, crossing the 200,000-unit mark for the first time, according to Topline Securities.

The record sales reflect resilient demand for affordable transportation amid rising petrol prices, as consumers continue to rely on motorcycles and other two- and three-wheelers for daily commuting.

Improving crop prices are also supporting the recovery in the rural two- and three-wheeler market, where better agricultural incomes can strengthen consumers’ purchasing power.

Data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), cited in Topline Research, shows that monthly two- and three-wheeler sales have fluctuated over the years before reaching the record level in September 2026.

The latest figures highlight sustained demand for two- and three-wheelers, which remain an important and relatively affordable mode of transportation for households across Pakistan.
