JW Group Pakistan has started local production of two and three wheelers in partnership with Jiangsu Jinpeng Group. The models will include both electric and gasoline variants. The vehicles are being built at JW Group facilities in Lahore.
The move expands JW Group presence in light vehicles after earlier joint work with SAIC Motor under the MG JW Automobile venture. The new collaboration uses JW Group local factories and its sales network. Jinpeng will supply technology and product designs. Leaders from both firms described the tie up as a step to serve domestic demand and to prepare for exports to South Asia.
Jinpeng describes itself as a world leading maker of electric tricycles. The company reports a large patent portfolio and multiple production bases in China. Jinpeng capacity is aimed at mass light vehicle output. The company said it will adapt machines for Pakistani roads and customer needs.
JW Group chief executives said the partnership will use local assembly lines to speed delivery and to lower costs for buyers. The firms expect that offering both electric and gasoline models will match current market demand and support a gradual shift to electric mobility. The companies also said they intend to offer financing options through local dealers.
The Pakistan market for electric two wheelers is growing rapidly. Sales data shows strong year on year gains for electric scooters and bikes. Industry analysts say local assembly can speed adoption by easing price barriers and improving after sales support. A local production base may also create jobs in assembly parts and servicing.
The partnership aims to build an ecosystem that includes parts suppliers training for technicians and a sales network across the country. Company leaders also spoke of export potential. They expressed confidence that Pakistan can become a base for light vehicle exports in the region once volumes and standards align.
