Afridi said that collaboration with the innovative Chinese tyre industry can bridge the huge demand gap for tyres in Pakistan. He described this opportunity as a radical shift in the automobile industry of Pakistan.
He said that the tyre industry of Pakistan can hardly meet 12 to 15% demand and the shortfall paves the way for international companies, which is a positive development.
“Keeping in view the growing demand, the government can attract domestic as well as foreign investment in the rubber tyre industry by resolving structural problems of the sector,” said the PCJCCI president.
Also speaking at the meeting, Sun said that his brand of tyres is preferred globally due to durable and innovative hi-tech manufacturing units installed in major developed countries.
Is Pakistan really a dream destination for China?
He said that seeking the huge demand of cost effective and durable tyres in Pakistan he is planning to initiate state-of-the-art R&D centres and Tyre Research Institutes to stay at the forefront of technological advancements and remain the nerve centre for providing cutting edge technology.
