Ghandhara Nissan Limited (گندھارا نسّان لمیٹڈ ) is a Pakistani automobile manufacturer based in Karachi, Pakistan established in 1981.[1] Ghandhara Nissan is the authorized assembler and manufacturer of Nissan,[2] Dongfeng,[3] JAC[4] and Renault Trucks[5] vehicles in Pakistan.[1][6]

History[]

Ghandara Nissan was incorporated in 1981 for the distribution of completely built-up (CBU) Nissan vehicles in Pakistan.[1] In 1992, it became a publicly listed company on the Karachi Stock Exchange.[1] Ghandhara Nissan has a technical assistance agreement with Nissan Motors and a joint venture agreement with Nissan Diesel for the progressive assembly of passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles and heavy duty vehicles. Ghandhara Nissan's manufacturing and assembly plant which has a capacity of 6,000 cars per year, is located at Port Qasim, Karachi.[1][2][4]

Ghandhara Nissan forms one of several companies of Bibojee Services. In 2016, Renault announced to start assembling cars in Pakistan by 2018 in collaboration with Ghandhara Nissan. [7][8] but suspended further talks with Ghandhara Nissan and collaborated with new partner Al-Futtaim Group of United Arab Emirates (UAE).[8][9]

In March 2018, Nissan signed a manufacturing and licensing agreement with Ghandhara Nissan to begin local production of Datsun models.[10]

Pakistan is also witnessing an increased demand in heavy trucks due to CPEC and relative improvement in the country's security situation.[3][4]
