A high-level delegation from China’s Tianjin Chuanhui Group has signaled strong interest in establishing 2- and 3-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) assembly lines in Pakistan, a move that could significantly boost the nation’s burgeoning green mobility sector. The potential investment was the focal point of a visit to the Board of Investment’s Project Management Unit for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (BOI-PMU) on Tuesday.
The visit by the three-member Chinese team is a direct outcome of the Pak-China B2B Investment Conference held in Beijing this past September. It marks the implementation phase of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed earlier to fortify bilateral industrial cooperation.
During an orientation meeting, officials from the BOI and other relevant ministries presented a comprehensive overview of Pakistan’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The briefing also covered investment facilitation measures and identified various potential avenues for collaboration between the two countries.
The visiting representatives explored a wide spectrum of opportunities within the EV ecosystem, including manufacturing, the development of charging infrastructure, and the application of electric vehicles in the agricultural domain. The group’s agenda emphasized initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable transportation and helping to curtail carbon emissions.
BOI officials reaffirmed their organization’s commitment to providing complete support to ensure a seamless facilitation process for the investors. They stressed the importance of enhancing business-to-business linkages between Pakistani and Chinese enterprises.
This development is being regarded as a substantial step forward in the Industrial Cooperation Phase of CPEC, reinforcing mutual efforts to achieve sustainable economic advancement.
Under the guidance of Federal Minister Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh, the Board of Investment continues its pivotal role in attracting foreign capital, deepening industrial partnerships, and advancing Pakistan’s economic integration with its global partners, particularly China.
