JW Group Partners with China’s Jinpeng to Launch Electric Bikes in Pakistan
LAHORE – JW Group has announced a landmark partnership with China’s Jinpeng Group, the world’s largest electric tricycle maker. The move is set to transform Pakistan’s two- and three-wheeler sector with the introduction of new production lines for both electric and gasoline models.
Production has already begun at JW’s Lahore facility, marking a key milestone for the local auto industry. The initiative supports Pakistan’s push for stronger domestic manufacturing and gradual adoption of clean mobility.
Expanding Local Automotive Ventures
JW Group already runs a joint venture with China’s SAIC Motor International, assembling MG vehicles in Pakistan. The new tie-up with Jinpeng adds further depth to its automotive portfolio.
Key highlights of the collaboration include:
- Launch of EV and gasoline lines at JW’s Lahore plant.
- Use of JW’s distribution network alongside Jinpeng’s EV expertise.
- Positioning Pakistan as a future export hub for new energy vehicles.
- Job creation and industrial growth are linked to clean mobility.
CEO JW Corporation, Javed Afridi, said the partnership blends local capacity with Jinpeng’s technology, creating opportunities for Pakistan and beyond. He emphasized that it could make the country a hub for South Asian EV exports.
Jinpeng CEO Zakir Ali noted Pakistan’s market potential, stating that the plan includes developing a comprehensive electric mobility ecosystem. With over 400 patents, Jinpeng aims to balance current fuel needs while steering toward electrification.
