Air Link Communication Limited, the Pakistan Stock Exchange-listed mobile phone company, formally entered the country’s electric mobility market on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, launching its AirV electric bike brand at an event in Lahore. The launch, confirmed through a company notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange, reveals the brand’s full opening lineup: eleven models spread across six series.
The bikes carry a technology-led feature list — cruise control, regenerative battery technology, NFC functionality and anti-theft systems — with claimed riding ranges of up to 200 kilometres depending on the variant. The two-wheelers are being manufactured at the company’s facility in Lahore’s Sundar Green Special Economic Zone, the exchange filing confirmed.
The 11-model AirV lineup: features and claimed range
AirV’s debut is unusually broad for a first-time electric two-wheeler brand. Eleven models across six series give the company coverage of several price and use-case segments from day one, although Airlink has not yet published the model-by-model breakdown, motor outputs or top speeds.
The confirmed feature set leans on technology that is still uncommon in Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market. Cruise control, regenerative braking — which feeds energy back into the battery when slowing down — near-field communication (NFC) functionality and anti-theft systems are all part of the opening lineup’s specification sheet. Model-specific claimed ranges go up to 200 kilometres on a charge, depending on the variant.
What is not yet disclosed is almost as important. Airlink has not announced retail prices, battery capacities, charging times, motor power figures or top speeds for any of the eleven models, and the company has not said which variants will reach dealerships first. That information will likely follow in the coming days as bookings open.
Built in Lahore: the Sundar Green SEZ plant
The AirV project traces back to 23 July 2026, when Airlink’s board of directors approved the establishment of an electric-bike manufacturing project under its own brand, disclosed in a material information notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The bikes are being assembled at the company’s existing facility in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone in Lahore.
The company’s stated manufacturing strategy is phased. Airlink initially planned to source electric bikes from international partners offering competitive pricing while local assembly ramps up, before gradually shifting toward domestic production. Lithium-ion batteries — typically the most expensive component of an electric two-wheeler — are expected to be procured locally from the very start.
Over time, management has said it is targeting up to 95 percent localisation, a figure shared at the company’s annual general meeting and carried in a research note by Arif Habib Limited on 27 October. If achieved, that would make AirV one of the most locally sourced electric two-wheelers in the Pakistani market.
Deliveries, bookings and what buyers should know
Customer deliveries are expected to begin within approximately a week of today’s launch, according to the timeline the company’s management shared at its annual general meeting. Booking details — the reservation amount, available variants at launch and the exact date bookings open — have not yet been confirmed.
Buyers should treat any prices or specifications circulating on social media as rumour until Airlink publishes them officially. The company’s own preview coverage on this site, published ahead of the launch, carried the same caution — and our electric bike price guide tracks the wider market for comparison.
Why Airlink’s EV move matters for Pakistan
Airlink is best known in Pakistan for its mobile phone business, where it assembles and sells handsets for leading brands. The move into electric two-wheelers is a significant diversification for a company whose fortunes have been tied to smartphone sales — and it places the firm alongside a growing list of local assemblers betting on battery-powered transport.
The timing is deliberate. Rising fuel prices and a wave of government incentives have pushed buyers toward electric two-wheelers, and Punjab’s own e-bike financing schemes have broadened the market beyond early adopters. With a broad 11-model launch and a localisation roadmap, AirV is positioning itself as a volume player from day one rather than testing the water with a single scooter. The coming weeks — prices, bookings and the first deliveries — will show how aggressively the mobile-phone giant intends to price its two-wheel debut.
