Karachi, Pakistan:  In a significant move to boost industrial development, the Sindh government has announced a partnership with Chinese investors to establish a mini truck assembly plant in Karachi.

Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, representing the provincial government, also revealed plans to set up electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Sindh, emphasizing that these initiatives will drive economic growth and promote sustainable transport solutions for businesses and individuals alike.

The upcoming assembly line in Karachi marks a pivotal step in positioning the city as a regional hub for automobile manufacturing. The project is anticipated to stimulate industrial growth, encourage local parts production, create job opportunities, and facilitate technology transfer. Memon assured that the Sindh government would provide full support, including regulatory facilitation, infrastructure development, and workforce training. He also highlighted the vehicle’s unique adaptability, noting that it can be converted into a **Super Mini Car** for added versatility.  

 

During the ceremony, Memon praised **Yin Tongyue**, Chairman of Chery Holding, for his visionary leadership in fostering industrial collaboration between the two countries.
