Honda Atlas has shipped another batch of 38 locally assembled Honda City 1.2L units to Japan, marking its second export consignment to the country.
The first batch—comprising 40 units—was sent in April 2025 and was widely seen as a milestone for Pakistan’s auto manufacturing capabilities.
The move strengthens Honda’s presence in the global supply chain and underscores growing confidence in the quality of Pakistan-assembled vehicles.
Company officials said the exports reflect both improved production standards and strategic steps to expand international market access.
Other automakers in Pakistan have also begun tapping into export markets. In July 2023, Toyota Indus exported 50 vehicles—including the Fortuner, Corolla Cross, and IMV models—while Changan Pakistan shipped 14 Oshan X7 SUVs to Kenya and Tanzania.
More recently, Hyundai Nishat joined the trend by exporting its Santa Fe Hybrid CBUs to Sri Lanka, signaling increased momentum for Pakistani carmakers to compete beyond domestic borders.

Assembling Japanese cars and sending them back . What a joke
it is because shortage of labour in japan as indus motors exported engineers to japan
You’re joking . Japan uses robots. They don’t need us
Japan uses advanced robotics . They have more engineers then pakistan has educated people
India can’t even make a car
Your birth was a joke Mr.angry you should be angry about it ….
Noticed you didn’t prove me wrong …. again .
Hopefully it doesn’t come back
😂
Not ‘Made in Pakistan’s, you can say ‘Assembled in Pakistan’ cars. Since independence we have produced only bombs and missiles, not anything that can benefit the common man.
Aam aadmi, please realise that making sophisticated missiles and that too with pin point accuracy isn’t a joke. And so called welfare countries of the world that lack in such capabilities are finding themselves in deep waters and their integrity and sovereignty is compromised and are regretting that why they didn’t progress in theri defence.
So being sarcastic is an ailment please try to recover asap
You are not aam aadmi, you are a political worker worker
even export of bombs and missiles can bring a huge amount of foreign exchange, that can benefit the economy.
If anyone tried that on you Mr kazmi you won’t like it
Gay moot wala spoted
Yes right. All parts imported from Japan, assembled in Pakistan and sent back to Japan. 🤣
I wonder why Japanese need to import their own brand of 38 cars from Pakistan.🤔
That’s bcz they just supply it .
I suppose they are outsourcing the Honda city manufacturing… To Pakistan….
OR
Don’t know if this is part of deal that Honda pk has to send samples after every period of time…
LOL
So fake, do you really think Pakistan is this capable ob producing cars? What a joke 🤣
Why can’t Pakistan export vehicles and why it’s a joke to you
Pakistan is Manufacturing Fighter Jets JF-17 Thunder,,, recently exhibited in UK
This is the first step every country should take if it wants to begin its own car industry
What is fake in this, brother ?
we should learn to appreciate the positive things.
Nothing positive about it . It’s just the same claim as before . We don’t make cars . We don’t even make bikes.
You are correct sir safwan. No matter how many dislike you . You’re correct . Even usa can’t manufacture at japan level .
Those cars should have been exported to the Arab world and Turkey
Reason ? Exporting to Arab world or any other country is called “export” so let it be any country , its good to see that something positive happening
We didn’t export . Japan just did it to cut cost. Nothing else . Also the quality is low
But it’s true….
The leading automobile industry is sitting here laughing at the cars being assembled in Pakistan. While none of us owns a car.
I’m sorry for being me…
Shocked 😲
japan nay wapas ka dee hy, lakh de lanat ho ashe assembling per.
It’s not a joke, in fact Japan has also imported many japanese brand cars from India as well, may be to meet the local demand.
Local demand ? Japan ?
Japan is not even 20% of pakistan population. And they don’t use cars. They hate cars. They use trains and trams
They have the shinkanshen trains
Dear, pehle to bina kisi proof k ap ne likh dia pak made cars, kahen nazar ni arahi, or ye kisi k bheje me baat kese jae gi k ek mulk jo dunya ka lagest car exporter hai Japan, or pak usko car bana k bhej raha hai, wah bhai, yaha mazak chal raha hai kia,…
made in pakistan ofcourse a bit misleading but he mentioned honda
then ofcourse everybody knows honda is a japanese car .Recently started assembling some cars in Pakistan
the assembly cost in Pakistan is cheaper and the parts are mostly from China
and that is for almost every car
made in Canada made in Usa Made in France made in Italy
all only branded in their countries
most of the things made in China
toyota has many plants in Canada and America the parts are being assembled to full cars and sold in that region
benefit goes to all involved parties to Japan and Canada and America
and
when the cars are being sold out of america and canada
this adds to their export not japans
for toyota the overall unit sale will count
Very good news, Thanks to all concerned
Except it’s fake. The cars were not made or parts made in Pakistan
Is like cooking your own meal at your neighbors house using your own ingredients
Obviously at such prices who can buy in Pakistan. Better send it to where they came from. This is called “Backloading “
, AlhamduLilah, this is a good start that I have been waiting for.
Debunked .

Pakistan 🇵🇰 zinda Abad
Didn’t work. Yelling won’t make it true
Most of people who commented on this don’t have knowledge how things going on. Saying that assembling cars is meaningless completely overlooks how industrial progress works. Even China, South Korea, and Japan started by assembling foreign vehicles before developing their own brands. Assembling is a critical learning stage — it builds technical skills, supply chains, and industry experience. You can’t produce a car from scratch without first understanding how one is built. This is not something to mock; it’s a sign of growth. If we could make missiles, we can definitely move toward making full cars too — one step at a time.
Very well said brother !!!!!
Completely wrong Mr Abdullah
Neither china nor Korea nor Japan did any of that
Korea had head start in its own tech
Japan created their own cars way from traditional car engineering
China invested in ev tech long before anyone did.
You were misinformed. It’s not a learning stage since we’ve been doing it for 60 years now . Learning for 60 years and still nothing
Except it’s fake. The cars were not made or parts made in Pakistan
Is like cooking your own meal at your neighbors house using your own ingredients
I have seen quality of pakistan assembled cars, and please explain the difference between assembling and manufacturing.
They can’t
Except it’s fake. The cars were not made or parts made in Pakistan

Great achievement …
No achievement . They just made their own and got them back
