CT Report 

LAHORE: The Punjab Board of Investment & Trade (PBIT) on Friday announced that Tianjin Qingqi Vehicle Industry Co. Ltd. will set up a CKD (completely knocked down) plant for 2- and 3-wheel electric vehicles in Lahore, under the brand name Vidi.
The MoU was signed during a visit by the Chinese firm’s senior management, following earlier talks last month in China between PBIT CEO Imran Khawar and Zhang Xiaodong, CEO of Tianjin Qingqi. Under the agreement, Tianjin Qingqi will initially invest USD 1 million, with plans to scale up to USD 10 million. Production is expected to begin within five months, targeting an annual capacity of 150,000 EV bikes.
PBIT said it will facilitate the investor from the ground up, from licenses and regulatory approval through to site development and future operations in a designated Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Initial operations will be conducted out of leased facilities in Lahore.
According to the statement, PBIT’s role will include “end-to-end facilitation,” helping Tianjin Qingqi clear bureaucratic hurdles, arrange incentives, coordinate with relevant authorities, and assist in expansion planning.
Tianjin Qingqi Vehicle Industry Co., Ltd. is part of China’s well-known Qingqi brand, which has decades of experience in two-and three-wheeler production. Established in 1956, Qingqi introduced China’s first civilian motorcycle and later expanded into scooters, mopeds, and electric bikes. Over the years, the company has partnered with leading global manufacturers such as Suzuki and Peugeot, strengthening its technological expertise. By building an EV plant in Lahore, Tianjin Qingqi is extending this legacy into Pakistan’s growing electric mobility market.
