Indus Motors Company (IMC), the assemblers of Toyota cars in Pakistan, said that they have no complaints regarding the quality of fuels available locally. They mentioned that “our vehicles are running very efficiently on current petroleum products available in the Pakistani market.”
This was stated by Ali Asghar Jamali, the Chief Operating Officer at IMC Pakistan. He was responding to the question “does IMC have any complaints about the quality of petroleum sold in Pakistan?” The query was prompted by recent reports in the media where a leading car maker accused OMCs (oil marketing companies) of supplying lower RON quality petrol to consumers in the market.
