Pakistan is set to export locally assembled vehicles to Bangladesh for the first time, marking a significant milestone for the country’s automotive sector and opening up a new international market for domestically produced vehicles.
The initial shipment, scheduled for this month, will consist of 100 vehicles being sent on a trial basis. If successful, the project is expected to expand considerably, with plans to export approximately 5,800 vehicles over the next four years.
The export initiative will be carried out by MG JW Automobile Pakistan under a partnership agreement signed in July with Bangladesh’s RANCON Group. The collaboration is expected to pave the way for larger commercial exports beginning next year.
As part of the arrangement, MG Pakistan will also provide technical expertise to its Bangladeshi partner. This support will include assistance with vehicle assembly processes, quality control measures, and other operational requirements. A team of Pakistani engineers is expected to visit Bangladesh to help facilitate the project.
The export program includes two vehicle models manufactured in Pakistan with the support of China’s SAIC Motor. These models were previously supplied to Bangladesh directly from China, but under the new agreement they will now be exported from Pakistan.
Government officials view the development as an important step toward strengthening Pakistan’s automotive industry, boosting exports, earning valuable foreign exchange, and enhancing the country’s reputation as a vehicle manufacturing hub in the region.
