Truly either Pakistanis are sleeping or are actually really stumped and are unable to realise what their true worth is. Several reasons are there, firstly, how can a developing economy on the brink of default achieve a target that none of even the European countries or even Bangladesh has set? Truly a most illogical target I have seen in years even by Pakistani standards, already, people are sweating their energy out owing to utilities not being able to offer required services, how on earth would they be able to power-up this arcane pit?
Secondly, every action taken at community level should be based on stakeholders views to doing things, I don’t see a truck user, used to owning and operating a really low maintenance cost Bedford or Hino, buying an electric truck. In fact, even most of the established trucking companies such as Faisal movers, Daewoo, Agility, T.C.S. and others are not even buying European and American truck brands, the Peterbilt that are sometimes seen here are models that were made in 70s and are owned by armed forces, who have wider budgets than these companies and therefore can afford the high maintenance cost. The reason, every truck in Pakistan is overloaded like a barrel that is bursting its hoops, can an electric truck deliver similar profits with its sophisticated set-up taking a chunk out from its capability to be modified as per Pakistani transport community standards? My guess is not because that battery pack, regardless of whatever shape it bears, has limited capacity to provide fuel source and has its own weight.

P.S. I doubt that a Toyota Hliux or Fortuner buyer would switch to Audi since it has a reputation of killer maintenance and is not offering similar level of off-roading experience as well.
