In the light of the agreement between Volkswagen AG and Premier Motors Ltd. to manufacture commercial vehicles locally, the company is finally set to start plant construction. As per the agreement, the company will invest $135 million to make new cars and set up the assembly plant in Pakistan.

Will Volkswagen Be Successful In Pakistan?

Since the company plans to bring commercial vehicles to the market, we may observe a limited chunk of consumers buying the Volkswagen vehicles. While this may be true, if the company succeeds to break the market of Toyota Hilux in Pakistan, it will be a game-changer for the company. However, we will be able to see that once the construction of the Volkswagen plant in Pakistan gets close to its completion.
