Pakistan’s automotive landscape is on the brink of a revolutionary transformation as the nation’s first-ever electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer sets its sights on introducing a compact electric SUV by 2025.
The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) recently paid a visit to a local Research and Development (R&D) center operated by a pioneering car company, sparking discussions that promise to elevate the quality and capabilities of domestically produced automobiles.
A major shift in the market?
The visionary automaker is geared towards reshaping the local market with its innovative approach. Their ambitious plan encompasses the development and launch of a compact electric SUV, signaling a paradigm shift in Pakistan’s automotive industry.
Notably, the company has already showcased its prowess by unveiling a test version of an electric hatchback named Nur-E 75. This impressive prototype boasts a robust electric powertrain enabling it to cover approximately 200 kilometers on a single charge.

The aspiration to manufacture this cutting-edge electric SUV locally aligns with a strategic vision that emphasizes self-sufficiency. The company plans to source nearly 60% of the vehicle’s components from within Pakistan, a move that not only promotes the utilization of local resources but also strengthens the nation’s industrial ecosystem.
