KARACHI: The maker of Pakistan’s first car - Revo - believes his indigenous development will start to attract people once enough of these vehicles are on road to catch their attention.
Deriving its name from the word - revolution - the car introduced seven months ago is made up of 68 per cent components manufactured locally excluding the most important part - engine.
Currently rolling out seven to eight cars a day, he is planning to increase the number to 20 by January 2007. Besides the 800-1,000cc cars, the company is also manufacturing heavy-duty jeeps and trucks.
The small number of 495 vehicles delivered up until now is not holding back Feroz, who, after enlisting Pakistan among the 16 countries designing and producing cars, has decided to set up an assembling plant in Bangladesh.
:k: Great going. They’ve got to deliver THAT awesome quality at a low price! The market is huge and untapped, so they obviously have a first mover advantage here.
We’re seeing more and more of these on the roads now. I think the price should be slashed abit further in order to attract buyers. So far it seems only companies have bought fleets for employees. The pvt owner remains skeptical. So only a good discount on the price could bridge the paranoia. their 4x4 named “Zabarast” looks rugged and good too.

Any car that has good resale value in pakistan will be a hit. If it doesnt, it will flop like all the other cars here, Kia spectras , fiats, etc. Time will tell
