BYD Pakistan, a joint venture between China's BYD and Mega Motors, forecasts that up to 50% of auto sales in Pakistan will be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030.

Having entered the Pakistani market last month, BYD Pakistan plans to introduce EVs later this year and open an assembly plant by early 2026.

However, reaching this ambitious target may be difficult due to existing infrastructure challenges. To address this, BYD Pakistan is collaborating with oil companies to establish 20-30 charging stations and is focusing on locally assembled vehicles to navigate import duty issues.

Astron Aerospace’s H2 Starfire hydrogen engine has set a new benchmark with its record 60% efficiency and zero emissions. Unlike conventional internal combustion engines, which are only 20% efficient, the H2 Starfire uses hydrogen fuel to produce energy and emits only water.

The engine operates at high temperatures of 1,400°F (760°C) and features a unique design with counter-rotating rotors made from aluminum and titanium. This design eliminates the need for water cooling, reduces complexity, and results in a frictionless operation with only 82 parts.

While the partial prototype shows promising results, the widespread adoption of this technology hinges on advancements in green hydrogen production. Astron’s breakthrough could significantly impact the future of sustainable transportation, offering an efficient alternative to traditional fossil-fuel engines.
