Daimler Truck Makes Its Way to Pakistan via Global Merger

Islamabad, June 29, 2025: Daimler Truck, the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, is now entering the Pakistani market through a significant global merger, marking a new era for the local transport and logistics industry.

As part of a strategic international expansion, Daimler Truck is making an indirect entry into Pakistan via a global partnership with a key international player already operating in South Asia. While the company hasn’t established a direct manufacturing plant or subsidiary in Pakistan yet, the merger is expected to channel advanced German commercial vehicle technology into the local market through existing regional networks.

Hinopak Motors Ltd is set to gain a German parent company, marking the first time any publicly listed Pakistani automotive company will be owned by a German automaker. This development follows the confirmed merger of Japan’s Hino Motors Ltd and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) into a new joint venture. The entity will be backed equally by Toyota Motor Corporation and Germany’s Daimler Truck, creating a unified Asian commercial vehicle powerhouse.

Industry insiders confirm that the global merger involves a collaboration with a multinational group that has established operational ties and distribution networks in Pakistan. This move will allow Daimler Truck’s premium commercial vehicles—including heavy-duty trucks, buses, and logistics solutions—to become available for Pakistani businesses in the near future.

A Boost for Pakistan’s Logistics Sector
The indirect entry of Daimler Truck is being hailed as a game-changer for the Pakistani commercial vehicle landscape. With growing demand for high-performance vehicles in sectors like logistics, freight, and construction, the arrival of globally trusted brands like Daimler could raise industry standards and drive competition.

Experts also highlight the potential impact on local employment, service networks, and skill development. Authorized dealerships and aftersales support channels are expected to expand, creating new job opportunities and encouraging knowledge transfer in automotive technology.

Pakistan’s transport and logistics industry is undergoing a major transformation, with increasing emphasis on fuel efficiency, safety standards, and durability. Daimler Truck’s presence—even if indirect—will offer local fleets access to cutting-edge vehicles known for their global reliability.

The company’s entry aligns with Pakistan’s goals to modernize its industrial fleet and reduce carbon emissions by promoting Euro 6-compliant engines and advanced vehicle systems.

While Daimler Truck’s route into Pakistan may not be through a direct investment, the ripple effects of this merger will be strongly felt. With high-quality German engineering entering the local market, Pakistani consumers and businesses can expect superior transport solutions, enhanced performance, and long-term industry growth.
