KARACHI: inDrive and Yousuf Dewan Companies have joined forces to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan, focusing on four-wheel EVs to drive sustainable mobility.

As part of this initiative, inDrive and YDC is introducing Honri electric vehicles in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, providing passengers with a unique opportunity to experience environmentally friendly transportation first-hand.

To mark the beginning of this collaboration, inDrive and YDC are launching a special joint campaign during the holy month of Ramazan, offering passengers free rides in Honri EVs. This initiative reflects both companies’ commitment to sustainable mobility and serves as a meaningful contribution to this sacred month by providing an innovative and eco-conscious travel experience.

This partnership represents a major milestone in the country’s evolving EV landscape and signifies an important step toward a long-term collaboration with Pakistan’s first four-wheel EV manufacturer, Honri. By integrating EVs into ride-hailing services, inDrive and YDC are leading the charge in green mobility, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and supporting Pakistan’s transition towards cleaner energy solutions.

Looking ahead, the initiative is set to expand beyond Ramazan, with future plans to introduce rental options for drivers through fleet partners. This will enable more drivers to access cost-effective electric vehicles, lowering their operational expenses and increasing their earnings while contributing to a greener and more sustainable urban environment.

Country Lead of inDrive Pakistan Muhammad Awais said, “At inDrive, we believe in driving positive change through innovative and impactful initiatives. This campaign is a testament to our commitment to providing accessible and sustainable mobility solutions. By adopting Honri’s electric vehicles in inDrive’s fleet, we are not only giving passengers a first-hand experience of EV technology but also supporting Pakistan’s transition towards a cleaner, greener future. We look forward to expanding this collaboration and creating more opportunities for drivers and passengers to benefit from eco-friendly transportation.”

Senior Marketing Manager at Yousuf Dewan Companies Shaikh Saud Zia said, “At Dewan, we are committed to driving Pakistan towards a more sustainable future. Partnering with inDrive to offer free rides in Honri’s electric vehicles during Ramadan is a significant step in making EV technology more accessible to everyday commuters. This initiative highlights not only the convenience and efficiency of electric mobility but also our dedication to reducing carbon emissions and fuel dependence. We look forward to expanding this collaboration and contributing to a cleaner, smarter transportation landscape in Pakistan.”
