The company announced in an official statement to the PSX that it will invest $100 million over the next three years in the local production of hybrid and electric vehicles.

Toyota IMC also stated that the business will use the funds to upgrade the local assembly plant in Karachi’s Port Qasim, which will also allow for further localization of auto parts in the future.
