Chinese origin motorbikes owners are growing more rapidly
than their Japanese rivals. Main reason is their fuel efficiency and
durability. In addition, their after sales service is much better than the
Japanese assemblers. And they are much cheaper than Japanese ones. So in last
10 years, the number of Chinese motorbike assembler has been just tripled and
in number they are 72.
The assembling companies are situated mainly in Lahore,
Sindh, Beluchistan, Punjab and Karachi. But the assemblers try to avoid Karachi
because the assembling cost is too high there.
Assemblers are playing an important role to resolve the
unemployment problem. This sector has provided 50,000 full time and 150,000
part time jobs. The number can increase to a magic number if the government tax
and duties are lowered to a reasonable amount. Now they are also earning
foreign exchange by exporting motorbikes to Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
