Changan Pakistan Becomes First to Achieve Automobile Exports

Master Changan Motors Ltd. (MCML), a joint venture with Changan International, has made a significant milestone in the Pakistani automotive industry by becoming the first company to achieve volume exports. The company has successfully exported the first batch of 14 Oshan X7 SUVs to Kenya for onward sale to the Kenyan and Tanzanian markets. This major achievement was realized on the 10th anniversary of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), highlighting the strong economic cooperation between Pakistan and China.

Last year, MCML also exported the first sample unit of the Oshan X7 to a country in the Oceania region. The company is taking significant steps to become a part of Changan’s global vehicle supply chain under the ‘Vast Ocean Plan’, thereby putting Pakistan on the map for producing and exporting high-quality vehicles.

The Oshan X7 is a technologically advanced SUV that is manufactured in Pakistan. It is the largest SUV in its segment and achieves an efficient fuel average of 14-15 kmpl through a 1.5L turbo-charged engine that can go from 0-100 km/h in just 8.23 seconds.

MCML’s CEO, Mr. Danial Malik, expressed his gratitude to the government for the auto export policy 2021-2026 and emphasized the need for policies that increase volumes locally. This will improve economies of scale, support deeper localization, and encourage automakers to enhance their global competitiveness.

Significance of Master Changan’s achievement:

Master Changan’s achievement of volume exports is a significant milestone for the Pakistani automotive industry, and it has far-reaching implications.
