First locally produced electric car launched in Pakistan
KARACHI: On Sunday, the very first domestically built
electric automobile was unveiled in Karachi courtesy to the joint initiatives
of the Dice Foundation, academic institutions, and the corporate sector.
On the nation's Independence Day, the inauguration event
took place at a nearby hotel. In the latter half of 2024, the public will be
able to make reservations for the NUR-E 75 vehicle. The NED University of
Engineering and Technology created its rechargeable battery, which has
cutting-edge characteristics. The automobile will probably be sold as well.
The Sir Syed University of Engineering is creating the
adapters for these cars. To shorten charging times, effort is also being done
on the creation of speedier adapters.
The National College of Arts produced the layout, and all of
the vehicle's parts were made in Pakistan (NCA).
Upon charging for 8 hours using a 220V hookup, the vehicle
can go 210 kilometers at a speed of 120 km/h.
The "Made in Pakistan" automobile, according to
Dice Foundation President Dr. Khurshid Qureshi, is a significant development
for the sustainability of the nation's economy. According to him, Pakistan has
also made the first move in the worldwide car sector towards the electric vehicle
renaissance. He continued by saying that this initiative will solve all of the
nation's fiscal woes.
According to Dr. Qureshi, money will be obtained via Class
A, B, and C waves of investment for commercial manufacturing. He stated that
the automobile will be introduced underneath the JAXERI moniker.
The first model is a five-seater compact, but succeeding
phases would also include the production of sedans and SUVs, he noted.
He added that mass producing the automobile will safeguard
the ecosystem and can save money that would have been spent on importing
gasoline. He continued by saying that Pakistan would have access to electric
automobile technology on par with Western nations, which will make it simpler
to maintain local financial stability.
Prominent figures from the technical, automotive, and
corporate sector attended the inaugural ceremony. They thanked Dr. Qureshi and
the staff for presenting the automobile.
