LAHORE: British High Commissioner Dr Christian Turner says that the future of automobiles is electric vehicles that keep the environment clean and green.

“It is a wonderful showcase of the British Automotive Brand in Pakistan,” he said during his visit to the MG JW Automobile Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd in Lahore on Friday.

“The future is electric and MG will be cutting down carbon emissions with electric vehicles for cleaner and greener Pakistan,” he added.

Mr Turner interacted with the company’s leadership, visited the state-of-the-art MG assembly plant, and got to test drive – the all-electric Marvel R and HS PHEV.

In March 2021, Chinese Ambassador in Pakistan Nong Rong had also visited the setup and had similar sentiments after his visit.

MG Motor Pakistan has delivered more than 10,000 vehicles, launched seven state-of-the-art dealerships with MG Care Centres and introduced world-class latest models in Pakistan, setting the tone for the whole industry.

The brand entered the Pakistani market under the flag of SAIC Motor International, primarily launching in the luxury category. The company is ready to start local production and very soon.
