Rehan Meghani, Joylong Pakistan’s Chairman told a local newspaper,
We have decided to target the commercial aspect of Pakistan’s auto industry after thorough studies by both our Pakistani and Chinese counterparts. The variants we are offering have added features with half the price of currently available commercial vans; this will definitely break the monopoly of Japanese manufacturers.
Localized Production
Joylong Automobiles is a Jiangsu-based company that supplies its products both locally and internationally through its dealers and manufactures commercial vehicles, their parts, and offers other related services. Pakistan is readily growing its trade and economic relations with China, Meghani believes that the Chinese will now lead the local auto sector just like the current Japanese companies enjoyed an extensive monopoly over the years.
Pakistan’s commercial vehicle market was largely dominated by European and American brands till the 1970s. Then entered the Japanese auto manufacturers, who offered better quality and low pricing. After almost 40 years of monopoly by Japanese brands in the commercial sector, it is now China which will become the next in-thing for Pakistan,
