Yamaha halts production of motorcycles in Pakistan

Yamaha Motor Pakistan has made a significant announcement, revealing the closure of its motorcycle manufacturing operations in Pakistan. The company made this announcement via a post on its Facebook page, but did not specify a reason for the closure or provide any new information about future operations in the country.

Despite this development, Yamaha Motor Pakistan remains committed to its customers. The company has promised to continue providing after-sales service and spare parts to its customers. Spare parts will be available through YMPK-authorized dealers, who will maintain sufficient stock.

Moreover, Yamaha Motor Pakistan has expressed gratitude towards the riders who have made Yamaha a part of their lives. However, the post on the company's Facebook page did not express any specific thanks or appreciation.

In a positive note, Yamaha Motor Pakistan has announced the start of battery supply for electric mobility vehicles in Pakistan, scheduled for 2023. This move comes as the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing in Pakistan, according to auto sector expert Muhammad Sabir Shaikh.

The increasing demand for EVs in Pakistan is putting pressure on fuel-based engines, and Yamaha Motor Pakistan's entry into the electric mobility market could be a strategic move to meet this demand. The company has promised to continue its promise to customers, but did not mention any timeline or date for the discontinuation of motorcycle production.

In conclusion, while Yamaha Motor Pakistan is closing its motorcycle manufacturing operations, the company is taking steps to adapt to the changing market conditions and continue serving its customers. The start of battery supply for electric mobility vehicles in Pakistan is a promising move that could help Yamaha Motor Pakistan maintain its position in the Pakistani market.
