Japan is a thriving country with a strong industrial base and one of the strongest automotive sectors of any country in the world, so what  needs could the country have for importing these three wheeled contraptions ? The simple answer is fun, most of the Japanese people who import these rickshaws do so for leisure purposes, the colorful Pakistani rickshaw is well known all around the world and serves as a means of fun transportation for short journeys within Japan. These rickshaws are even road legal within the country, also being the first three wheels vehicles to be allowed on Japanese highways, despite Japans strict safety laws, a testament to Saazgar’s engineering.

other than manufacturing rickshaws, Saazgar also produces home appliances such as air conditioners ,microwaves etc, in addition to making wheel rims for tractors. With all this blooming success, Saazgar has decided to venture deeper into the Pakistan’s automotive sector to produce their own line of locally manufactured light passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
