Great Wall Motors (GWM) and SAZGAR Engineering Works have continued to transform Pakistan’s automotive market since their partnership began in 2021. With successful models such as the Haval H6 and Jolion, and milestones including the country’s first electric rickshaw and hybrid SUV, SAZGAR has steadily advanced the adoption of new energy vehicles. The latest achievement is the launch of the Haval H6 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), marking a new era in Pakistan’s journey towards sustainable mobility.
The launch took place on August 16th at Lahore’s Expo Centre, where the H6 PHEV was revealed in a high-profile event that reflected both style and substance. The evening featured a striking presentation and futuristic atmosphere, while also underlining a central message: Pakistan’s auto industry is prepared to embrace cleaner, more efficient technologies.
Commitment to Customers and Sustainability
SAZGAR has consistently positioned itself as more than an automotive manufacturer. By extending support such as post-hailstorm relief packages and absorbing new NEV levies, the company has demonstrated a genuine commitment to customer trust and welfare. This philosophy was reinforced at the launch event, too.
Director Marketing Mian Ammar Hameed emphasized the company’s collaborative and people-focused culture, while CEO Mian Asad Hameed reiterated SAZGAR’s long-term mission of delivering reliable products and contributing to a greener Pakistan. Deputy General Manager Abuzer Butt introduced the H6 PHEV’s capabilities, highlighting its Hi-4 all-wheel drive system, mobile app integration, and a powertrain that generates 360 horsepower and 760Nm of torque, accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds!
National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, who attended as chief guest, commended SAZGAR for introducing advanced, environmentally conscious vehicles to Pakistan. He reiterated the importance of such innovation as the nation faces climate change challenges and stressed the role of strong after-sales services in building customer confidence.
