Brilliance has been in talks with the government to develop automobile production facility in Pakistan. According to the company official:
“We plan to build automobile assembly plants in a number of countries, such as Pakistan. We are engaged in setting our sights in foreign markets. Building assembly plant in Pakistan will enable us to explore Pakistan market faster than direct vehicle exports; we are looking at CPEC as a great opportunity”.
Interestingly enough, Pakistan is already listed on the Brilliance website as Shahnawaz Ltd. listed as their official dealers. It will be very exciting to see Brilliance branded vehicles in Pakistan, if the company actually starts developing these cars as planned.
