Pakistan's Motor Bike Industry

Pakistan still has a long way to go in the motorcycle sector. Pakistan has recently been considered by numerous multinational firms looking for new locations to expand. Despite the fact that it is still a developing country with limited infrastructure, an increasing number of businesses are willing to take a chance and invest in their future here. In the last few decades, technology has advanced by rapidly increasing. The global vehicle business is very different, and it has always pushed to exceed its own standards in terms of better and more reliable goods.

 

However, when it comes to Pakistan's automotive industry in general, and the motorbike industry in particular, the situation is rather different and also seems to be like in a dilemma. Honda is a daily ridden motorcycle and leading bike manufacturers in Pakistan built by Honda of Japan. It has been manufactured in Pakistan since 1992. 

The Honda 125 was first produced in Japan, but in 1985. Honda 125 has a single-cylinder, four-stroke, 124 cc engine with overhead valves. Atlas Honda Ltd continues to produce the Honda CG125. Except for a few cosmetic changes, the Pakistani version of the CG125 has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in the 1980s, and people continue to buy it because the CG engine was developed specifically to address the issue of harsh use of this small but powerful engine. 

As Honda realised that riders in developing countries performed little or no maintenance. The CG125 has overhead valves with push-rods, a washable foam air filter, and a fully enclosed chain to make it more reliable with minimum maintenance. The exterior decorations, as well as the seat and indicator clusters arrangement, have been overhauled to offer this long-lasting model a new look. 

Honda has ruled and still ruling in Pakistan’s Motorbike Industry but now advancements and good things are coming. As world is focusing more on eco and environment friendly technologies the main producer and distributor in Pakistan is Atlas Honda Ltd, a joint venture between Honda Motor Company and Atlas Group Pakistan focuses on Euro 2 technology, which still results in significant CO2 emissions and dirty air, rather than the European Union's normal requirements, which range from Euro 3 through Euro 4 and Euro 6. 

Another joint venture with a reputable Japanese company, Pak Suzuki Motor Company, is the country's largest vehicle producer and one of the leading motorbike manufacturers. The business continues to produce 125-150 cc motorcycles that are ideal for city streets. It has, however, recently begun to develop and distribute several lower-emission vehicles.

 

This problem can be solved if the government adopts an auto policy that encourages motorcycle producers to develop in-house products with improved engine technology and suitable features.   Technology and innovation are in high demand, and the Pakistani motorcycle industry has a lot of room to grow in a short period of time by focusing on affordable yet advanced bikes.
