Summary Pakistan records highest-ever heavy vehicle imports as buses and trucks purchases surge amid lower rates and government incentives.

According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), imports of buses and trucks stood at $262.4 million during the first 11 months of fiscal year 2025-26, marking the highest level in the country’s history.
The data showed that imports of buses and trucks during the same period of fiscal year 2024-25 were recorded at $57.8 million, reflecting a significant year-on-year increase.
