Japan’s Terra Motors unveiled its Kyoro electric three-wheeler in Karachi on September 24, 2025, marking the firm’s first step into Pakistan’s growing EV sector. The launch fits into a larger push to bring affordable electric options to South Asia and Africa, where demand for clean transport is rising fast.

Kyoro targets daily commuters and small businesses alike. Its design supports both rider transport and package deliveries in crowded cities. The model stands out for handling Pakistan’s varied terrain while keeping costs down.

Company Goals and Local Impact

Go Suzuki, Terra Motors’ managing director, highlighted the vehicle’s role in changing city travel. He noted it would cut reliance on imported oil, open new work spots in sales and service, and aid cleaner air quality.

The firm now looks for Pakistani distributors to spread Kyoro nationwide. This partnership could bring tech know-how, draw foreign funds, and build skills in local assembly. Terra sees it as a way to add value right here in Pakistan.

Terra Motors started in Tokyo back in 2010 and has grown across Asia with factories in India and beyond. Recent moves include a similar rollout in Sri Lanka last month, showing a pattern of regional growth.

Road Ahead for EVs in Pakistan

Pakistan’s government backs such imports with tax breaks on electric imports until 2026. This could speed Kyoro’s uptake amid a push for 30% EV sales by 2030. Early interest from fleet owners points to quick sales.
