Key Information
History
[edit]Volvo Pakistan began operating in 1984, and had a brief venture with the Government of Pakistan to manufacture Volvo vehicles. Over 660 Volvo vehicles were upgraded to be used in Pakistan's urban transport sector. Local body manufacturers were engaged in developing bodies of new Volvo units. By 1994, the project started facing mismanagement issues. Shortly after, Volvo left the Pakistani market, accusing the government of not investing enough in its road infrastructure. All buses were gradually disposed-off at Volvo Pakistan's Multan Road plant in Lahore. On 21 February 2016, Volvo Pakistan announced it was re-entering the Pakistani market.
