Global NEV leader BYD, through its official partner in Pakistan, Mega Motor Company, has delivered BYD Atto 2 and BYD Sealion 7 electric vehicles to Islamabad Police, marking the first operational adoption of a new energy vehicle (NEV) fleet by a federal department in Pakistan. The induction of these vehicles was formally celebrated through an official ceremony inaugurated by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Inspector General of Islamabad Police, Ali Nasir Rizvi, and Chief Traffic Officer of Islamabad, Muhammad Sarfraz Virk, were also present, along with other senior officials from the department.

The fleet has been designated for specific operational roles within the police department, supporting traffic patrol and official mobility. Its introduction will enable Islamabad Police to significantly reduce fuel dependency, lower operating costs, and introduce emission-free mobility into daily policing operations across the capital.

The initiative comes at a time when Pakistan is experiencing unprecedented volatility in fuel prices, reinforcing the need for more stable and cost-efficient mobility solutions for institutional use. By transitioning to electric vehicles, Islamabad Police is taking a forward-looking step toward reducing exposure to fuel price fluctuations while improving long-term operational efficiency.

Commenting on the initiative, an official from Islamabad Police said: “We are committed to adopting modern, sustainable solutions that enhance operational efficiency while serving the public responsibly. The integration of electric vehicles into our fleet marks a significant step toward reducing fuel dependency and enabling environmentally responsible policing. It also serves as a practical manifestation of the Prime Minister and Interior Minister of Pakistan’s vision for a greener, more sustainable future, with Islamabad Police playing a leading role in advancing this agenda.

This initiative lays the foundation for the gradual expansion of our NEV fleet as we continue to modernise our operations in collaboration with BYD.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Danish Khaliq, Vice President Sales and Strategy at BYD Pakistan-Mega Motor Company, said the initiative demonstrates how electric mobility solutions can support real-world institutional use cases.

“Islamabad Police’s decision to integrate BYD’s electric vehicles into its operational fleet reflects growing confidence in our new energy mobility solutions for real-world institutional use. As the first federal government department to take this step, it sets an important precedent for public sector organisations across Pakistan.

Beyond sustainability, this transition highlights a broader shift toward smarter fleet economics, where reduced reliance on fuel and lower maintenance requirements can significantly improve long-term operational efficiency. At Mega Motor Company, we remain focused on enabling this shift through reliable, high-performance electric mobility solutions designed for real-world demands.”

BYD’s new energy vehicles bring advanced electric mobility technology to the police fleet, offering zero tailpipe emissions, superior blade battery technology, enhanced safety systems, and lower maintenance requirements compared with conventional vehicles. In addition to environmental benefits, electric mobility presents a significantly lower running cost compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, particularly in high-utilisation environments such as public service fleets. The vehicles also enable silent patrolling, an operational advantage particularly suited to urban law enforcement environments. As public institutions navigate rising fuel costs and explore more sustainable transportation solutions, initiatives such as this highlight the growing role of electric mobility in delivering both financial and environmental value while reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.

Customers can conveniently book their test drive online through BYD Pakistan’s official website, selecting their preferred model, time, and location. The test drive sessions are designed to showcase the performance, technology, and design of BYD’s electric vehicles on the road and in real-world driving conditions.

This initiative underscores BYD’s ongoing commitment to make electric mobility more accessible and convenient in Pakistan. From expanding its local footprint to introducing innovative and cutting-edge models at competitive pricing, BYD remains focused on accelerating the country’s transition to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs).
