Global Auto Giant Behind Volvo Cars Is Entering Pakistan

With fuel prices on the rise, urban air pollution worsening, and climate consciousness increasing, Pakistan is moving toward sustainable mobility, and there is significant interest in new energy vehicles (NEVs). Pakistan’s NEV sector is nascent, but already garnering interest from major global automotive companies, reflecting growing confidence in the country’s long-term possibilities.

The latest update is that Geely Auto has entered Pakistan through Bestway Automotive Limited, and Bestway Group has become the official face of Geely Auto Pakistan.

Geely is one of the world’s top automotive and mobility firms, and one of the main players in the worldwide NEV market, together with companies such as BYD. The business is a stakeholder in world-recognised automotive brands including Volvo Cars, Lotus and Polestar and has access to leading-edge engineering, design and research talents.

Geely has also forged partnerships with global car giants such as Mercedes-Benz and Ford. These agreements have helped it strengthen its position in the global automotive sector and deepen its engagement in the development of next-generation mobility technologies.

Bestway Automotive might find new prospects for technology transfer and breakthrough automotive technologies with the company’s expansion into Pakistan. “Automotive engineering and mobility solutions that are being developed and deployed in foreign markets can benefit Pakistani consumers.

Geely sold more than 3 million vehicles globally in 2025, becoming one of only two Chinese carmakers – BYD and SAIC – to crack the top 10 in global vehicle sales. Its NEV sales soared over 90% year-on-year to 1.68 million units, while sales of the Geely Galaxy series soared 150%.

The firm also operates what it says is the world’s largest automotive safety testing laboratory, accredited by Guinness World Records. Geely has a global presence in 88 countries with over 1,200 sales and service outlets.

Team-up with Bestway Group, with decades of experience and investment in Pakistan. The organization was created in 1976 by Sir Anwar Pervez and has grown to become one of the UK’s largest multinational groupings and a significant outside investor in Pakistan.

Bestway has interests in a range of areas including cement, banking, wholesaling and real estate. Bestway Cement is one of the largest players in the cement industry of Pakistan and has a sizeable investment in United Bank Limited (UBL).

The car business is part of the group’s growing business interests in Pakistan. Bestway Automotive is intended to assist Geely in introducing NEV technologies and premium mobility solutions to the local market.

Geely has yet to announce the prices, product line-up, and launch date for its vehicles in Pakistan. But the partnership also adds another big international automotive name to Pakistan’s budding NEV industry.

Pakistan’s automotive industry is evolving toward cleaner and more technologically advanced transportation with the arrival of Geely and Bestway Automotive into the market, and this could open up new opportunities for investments in advanced vehicular technology and mobility solutions.
