Pakistan Receives First-Ever RoRo Vessel Carrying Over 2,000 Imported Electric Vehicles
Pakistan has welcomed its first-ever Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessel at Karachi Port, carrying more than 2,000 imported electric vehicles (EVs) in a landmark development for the country’s automotive industry.
The shipment reportedly includes BYD Atto 2, BYD Atto 3, and BYD Shark 6 models, significantly expanding the availability of electric vehicles in the local market and reflecting growing consumer interest in sustainable mobility.
The arrival of the RoRo vessel marks a major milestone in Pakistan’s transition toward cleaner transportation. Unlike conventional cargo methods, the RoRo system allows vehicles to be driven directly on and off the ship, reducing handling time, minimizing the risk of damage, and improving logistics efficiency.
Industry observers believe the shipment will enhance EV accessibility, encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly vehicles, and support Pakistan’s broader efforts to reduce emissions and modernize its transport sector.
