Atlas Honda has announced plans to launch an electric scooter tailored for the Pakistani market within the current fiscal year, marking a significant step toward cleaner transportation in line with the National Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy.
The company shared the news in an official notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), stating it is working closely with regulatory bodies to secure the necessary approvals for a smooth rollout. The move follows the government’s unveiling of the new EV policy, which aims to promote sustainable, affordable, and locally-manufactured transport solutions.
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Industries and Production, Haroon Akhtar Khan, noted that the policy targets 30% of all new vehicles sold in Pakistan to be electric by 2030, potentially saving 2.07 billion litres of fuel annually—translating to nearly \$1 billion in foreign exchange.
Atlas Honda previously conducted a soft launch of its electric scooter, the BENLY e, at its Sheikhupura facility in 2023. The company’s official launch later this year is expected to accelerate the adoption of electric bikes in Pakistan, where over 26 million two-wheelers are currently contributing to rising carbon emissions.
