Overview
- Bestway confirmed on Tuesday that it is Geely’s sole authorised distributor in Pakistan and said vehicle bookings will open before the end of 2026.
- The rollout will start with Completely Built Units (CBUs) imports and then shift to local Completely Knocked Down (CKD) assembly at a recently acquired facility.
- Bestway says it will initially offer two electric vehicles and one hybrid model and that its programme will include sustained after‑sales service, spare‑parts supply and wider support for new‑energy mobility.
- Pakistan’s auto sector already has large idle capacity and falling plant use — industry data cited utilisation under 50% — and several recent Chinese entrants struggled with weak service networks, parts shortages and low resale values.
- Geely’s global scale — more than 3.02 million vehicles sold in 2025 including 1.69 million NEVs and a dealer network across 88 countries — could help if Bestway delivers durable local service and if the government’s 2026–31 auto policy and financing conditions improve demand.
