It plans to enter into a joint venture with AKD Group Holdings and set up the plant near Port Qasim, Karachi on around 1,000 acres of land, said a press release issued by the Board of Investment (BOI).

A delegation, led by Gauss Auto CEO Chen Feng and AKD Group CEO Nasir Rizwan, visited the BOI and held a comprehensive meeting with Federal Minister for Board of Investment Chaudhry Salik Hussain and BOI Secretary Fareena Mazhar.
The delegation highlighted their intention to export locally produced EVs to other countries. A presentation was given about the group’s production plant and the vehicle variants it was already producing.
