CORPORATE WINDOW: Driving auto antiques

While electric vehicles (EVs) have already made deeper inroads in various countries, consumers in Pakistan are still using around four decades old two-wheeler models and four-wheelers over 30 years old. In the digital age, buyers usually use the internet to verify automobile prices, especially cars and SUVs available in Pakistan, compared to rates in the world market. However, in the case of motorcycles, consumers appear helpless when it comes to counter-checking the price and models of two-wheelers like the Honda CDI 70cc and Honda CG125. It is hard to find over 30-year-old global prices of Suzuki Ravi — which is still being rolled out without a model change in Pakistan — since it does not exist in any other country.
