JW Group Pakistan has entered into a partnership with Jinpeng Group, China’s largest electric tricycle manufacturer, to introduce both electric and gasoline-powered two- and three-wheelers in the country.
According to the companies, production has already begun at JW Group’s facilities in Lahore. The move is being described as a notable development for Pakistan’s two- and three-wheeler market, which has long been dominated by conventional motorcycles and rickshaws.
JW SEZ Group already runs a joint venture with China’s SAIC Motor International under the name MG JW Automobile Pakistan, which manufactures MG-branded vehicles locally. The latest collaboration expands the group’s footprint into the light vehicle segment.
Muhammad Javed Afridi, CEO of JW Corporation, said the partnership would utilize the group’s local manufacturing capacity and distribution network, while Jinpeng would bring technological expertise. He said the arrangement could eventually turn Pakistan into a base for exporting new energy vehicles to South Asia.
Zakir Ali, CEO of Jinpeng Group, said Pakistan offered strong growth potential for electric mobility and that the company’s initial focus on both gasoline and electric models was meant to address existing demand. Jinpeng, which holds more than 400 patents, has described the partnership as a step toward building an ecosystem for electric vehicles tailored to local conditions.
