I was a young boy growing up in 80’s when I first saw the Proficient Pick Up in Islamabad, it had its name Proficient written in Urdu at the tail gate. I felt so proud. If they let this Local Pakistani Manufacturer survive, today, Pakistan could have been a Middle Income Country, at least, with at least a dozen more local Car Makers, following in the foot steps of Proficient and of course, Proficient would have been making a lot better full line up of various cars, using modern technology. India made its own First Local Car, Tata Indica in 1998, much later than this Pakistani Car, in 1989. We were 10 years ahead of them, but look at us now, we are at nowhere near India now. I now live in US, and just this year, I went to Detroit Autoshow and saw Indian Made Mahindra Minivan and Roxor Jeep, at the North American Autoshow, they are now manufacturing a Jeep in USA, with Indian origin, imagine that… It just makes me upset.

We were ahead of India in so many fields up till 1980’s. Its the personal greed, and short sightedness along with lack of National Pride, that killed so many dreams in Pakistan. The Pakistan’s economy is suffering now, because of the mistakes of the past. Even now, I hope the Pakistani Government learns some lessons, and support the Domestic Auto Industry, not those 3 Japanese, Auto Looters Mafia, and hopefully ban those three, entirely, for damaging and crippling Pakistan’s ability to truly indigenize the Automobile in Pakistan, the National Car of Pakistan, is still a dream. Adam Revo was another attempt in 2005, but again Government of Pakistan, proved to be enemy of Pakistan’s own Car industry, yet again, by destroying that company by imposing taxes on it, instead of giving them Tax Holidays, and Government should have been buying the Government official vehicles in bulk from them, in initial years, like most Asian and other developing countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, India have done, to support their own Auto industry and create millions of well paying jobs.
