While the newly-formed company, Hyundai Nishat Motors Limited, will produce standard vehicles at its plant in Faisalabad, its plan to introduce locally-assembled hybrid cars is being hindered by issues. However, under the Greenfield investment category, the company will import 100 vehicles before 2019. In time, the company plans to produce 800, 1,000, 1,300, 1,600 and 2,000cc engine category vehicles, along with commercial vehicles. “We aren’t sure sure which engine category we will start off with. “I see a big market share of hybrid and eclectic vehicles, and our intentions are clear.”Abdullah said fuel quality will remain an issue and Pakistan would need to upgrade if it wants locally-assembled hybrid vehicles.
