The highly anticipated Pakistan Auto Show is returning to Lahore this month, promising to be an exciting event for auto enthusiasts, industry experts, and casual visitors alike. Set to take place at the Expo Centre Lahore, this annual event serves as a showcase for the growing automotive industry in Pakistan, and 2024 promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Electric mobility is rapidly gaining momentum in Pakistan, and Evee, a renowned name in the local electric vehicle scene, has added another gem to its lineup: the Mito Electric Scooter. With its futuristic design, eco-friendly operation, and budget-friendly nature, this electric scooter is set to revolutionize urban commuting in Pakistan.
In a bid to maintain order and enhance the safety of passengers, Saudi Arabia has implemented stringent new regulations regarding illegal airport taxis. These measures are part of a broader effort to streamline transportation services and curtail unlawful taxi operations, particularly at major airports like King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
In a significant development for the urban transit system of Karachi, the Federal Government of Pakistan has announced plans to transfer the operational control of the Green Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service to the Sindh Government. The handover is expected to streamline operations and further enhance public transportation in the metropolitan city, catering to the needs of millions of daily commuters.
As the month draws to a close, inflation-weary citizens are once again anxiously awaiting the outcome of the latest revision in petrol prices. The government had previously introduced two back-to-back reductions: one by Rs. 10 and another by Rs. 1.86 per liter in recent updates.
The electric vehicle (EV) industry is rapidly expanding across the globe, with many nations embracing the shift to greener alternatives. Pakistan, too, is beginning to explore this transformative movement. However, like many developing countries, the EV industry in Pakistan faces unique challenges. Despite the hurdles, the future prospects seem promising, driven by both governmental initiatives and consumer interest.
