KARACHI
\nThe 25,000th Changan vehicle made in Pakistan was lined off from the company\u2019s state of the art plant in Karachi, Pakistan. The plant has been upgraded to a capacity of 50,000 units per annum from original 30,000 units per annum. Despite the acute supply chain challenges faced by the industry, this is a testament to Changan\u2019s commitment to deliver locally assembled units to its customers in response to the overwhelming demand its products have received. Changan is quickly winning the hearts of Pakistani\u2019s and now overseas users.
\nKarvaan & Sherpa
\nIn May 2019, the first locally assembled Changan vehicle- Karvaan MPV rolled off the assembly line. The MPV soon became an instant hit, disrupting the Eco-van \/ MPV segment in Pakistan and securing more than 50% segment share this year. The vehicle, together with its sibling Sherpa Pickup has been enabling businesses do more and delighting families across the country.
\nAlsvin
\nIn December 2020, the company unveiled the Changan Alsvin, a smart B-Sedan. The deliveries started from March 2021 and within a span of one year, more than 10,000 Alsvin were delivered to customers who have not been able to stop talking about the vehicle\u2019s design and features like the sunroof and the exceptional fuel economy. Today, close to 25% share is commanded by Alsvin in the B segment which has been dominated by brands that have been established for a longer period of time.
\nOshan X7
\nThe latest addition to the automaker\u2019s disruptive portfolio is the Oshan X7 SUV. Launched in March 2022, Oshan X7 has the shortest launch to delivery period by any automaker in Pakistan. The deliveries of Oshan X7 started in April and the automaker has resolved to manage vehicle deliveries with minimal delays despite widespread lockdown in China due to latest wave of COVID.
\nExport
\nThe Oshan X7 has also become the first vehicle to be exported by any OEM in the country under the new Auto Industry Development and Export Policy (AIDEP 2021-26). The global premier of Oshan X7 was done in Pakistan and viewed across all RHD markets digitally, resulting in the start of global exports of the futuristic vehicle.
