MUVA (Rethink Urban Mobility)

YES Electromotive, an entirely original producer of electric vehicles (EVs), participated in the Pakistan Auto Show (PAS) 2022 with plans to deploy MUVA electric rikshaws in Pakistan.

According to a company official, Lahore, Pakistan is the exclusive manufacturing and assembly location for MUVA electric rickshaws.

Before it is formally introduced to the general public or the market, the corporation is fine-tuning it through testing, research, and development.

At its state-of-the-art facility in Lahore, Pakistan, MUVA Electric Rickshaws are made entirely from scratch

A firm representative said that Pakistan’s cutting-edge plant in Lahore produces MUVA electric rickshaws fully from scratch.

The firm is presently fine-tuning the product through testing and in-depth research and development before publicly launching these rickshaws on the market, the spokesperson stated.

Modular Utility Vehicle Architecture, sometimes known as MUVA, is a program for creating light commercial vehicles. With no exhaust emissions and nearly seven times cheaper running expenses than a three-wheeled petrol vehicle, these small electric vehicles (EVs) will serve the same purpose as a typical rickshaw.

Muva Electric Rickshaw Specification:

MODEL	TYPE	SEATING
MUVA-Passenger	Ultra Light Commercial Vehicle	Driver+3

Detail Specifications:

Type	Permanent Magnet
Rated/Peak Power	4kw/8kw
Wheel Size	12″

MUVA, an abbreviation for Modular Utility Vehicle Architecture, refers to a programme for developing light commercial vehicles. These small electric vehicles (EVs) will perform the same function as a traditional rickshaw, but with no tailpipe emissions and at roughly seven times lower operating costs than a three-wheeled petrol vehicle.

A driver and three passengers can ride in the MUVA electric rickshaw, a commercial EV that is incredibly light. Its curb weight is 450 KG, and its maximum payload capacity is 300 KG. It has a single electric permanent magnet motor with a maximum output of 10.7 horsepower.

The firm will only sell the MUVA rickshaw as a commercial electric vehicle, and the company will focus on fleet sales, the company spokesman continued. He continued by saying that YES Electromotive also plans to adopt a ride-hailing service operating model, allowing customers to request these rickshaws using a smartphone app.

In Japan, A Brand New Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition Debuts

August 4, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The SUV Receives Several New Trim Pieces

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado continues to serve its purpose and is now offered in Japan in a new Matte Black Edition. This comes after the 70th Anniversary Edition, which went on sale last year just in time for the unveiling of the new Land Cruiser.

The new Matte Black Edition adds some style to the SUV but doesn’t improve performance. Toyota has added matte black trim elements all around the vehicle, including the headlamp garnish, fog light bezels, and the grille and grille insert. The SUV also gets 18-inch matte black six-spoke metal alloys.

Gallery:

The outdated SUV need a major renovation, so the upgrades aren’t really big. It is smaller than the Land Cruiser, which was introduced for the 2010 model year and entered a new generation last year. Since then, the SUV industry has undergone tremendous shift, and a new LC Prado may be in the works.

For The Fourth Time In 2022, Pak Suzuki Have Raise Bike Prices

Last year, Toyota introduced the brand-new Land Cruiser LC300, giving it brand-new foundations in the shape of Toyota’s TNGA platform.

The SUV had a significant exterior redesign and a thorough interior makeover to bring it into line with the other SUV models in the market. When the redesigned Land Cruiser Prado is released, we anticipate it will be built on the Land Cruiser’s new platform.

Specifications:

Only white or black are offered in the Land Cruiser Prado. The SUV’s powertrain looks to remain unchanged and will likely continue to be either the 163 horsepower (121 kW) 2.7-liter gasoline engine or the 201 horsepower (149 kW) 2.8-liter diesel engine. A six-speed automatic transmission transmits power to all four wheels.

Price Tag:

For between $32,662 and $38,739 at the current exchange rate, Toyota is asking for between 4.3 and 5.1 million for the Land Cruiser Prado Matte Black Edition. The Lexus GX sold in the US is comparable to the Land Cruiser Prado. It is a little less sturdy than its full-sized sister and smaller than a normal Land Cruiser.

Uber Will Reveal To Drivers Their Pay After Accepting A Ride

August 4, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The way drivers accept trips has been “reimagined,” according to Uber.

The firm claims to have “totally redesigned the way drivers take rides” with the introduction of its new feature, “upfront fares,” which will now display drivers the actual amount they will be paid for a journey.

The ride-sharing service has grown more adaptable with this new innovation. Uber is currently developing a new tool that will let drivers to browse nearby trip requests and select the ones they want to accept. Since the driver would be informed of the destination and fee of the trip before accepting it, there will be fewer transportation cancellations for the passengers.

Introducing Backbone One – PlayStation Edition, An Authorized PlayStation Controller

According to an upfront support fee document, the cost displayed to Uber drivers before to accepting a trip is dependent on a number of variables, including “base charges, projected trip length and duration, pickup distance, and surge pricing.”

The fare is anticipated to fluctuate in response to the rider changing drop-off locations and unanticipated traffic. Wait times and tips won’t be included in the total.

According to the study, transitioning to upfront charges would also result in certain drivers earning less, for instance, if there is no traffic.

However, the system makes sure that drivers make more money on short journeys with traffic, trips where there aren’t many passengers at the destination, or trips where they have a greater distance to travel to pick up the passenger.

Additionally, Uber has announced the launch of trip radar, which will allow drivers to select from a list of nearby ride requests that might be a good fit for them.

For The Fourth Time In 2022, Pak Suzuki Have Raise Bike Prices

August 3, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Following Atlas Honda and Yamaha, Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) has also raised the price of their motorbikes as a result of the devaluation of local currency.

This is the fourth price increase PSMC has announced for its motorcycles this year. The new ex-factory costs for PSMC bikes as of August 1 are as follows:

Suzuki’s GD 110S, GS 150, GS 150SE, and GR 150 all had starting prices of Rs. 199,000, Rs. 215,000, Rs. 232,000, and Rs. 315,000, respectively, at the beginning of 2022.

This indicates that costs have increased this year by up to Rs. 50,000. Last year, PSMC hiked bike costs four times. Suzuki bike costs increased by much to Rs. 28,000 between January and December 2021.

Two-wheelers are now out of the price range for the majority of purchasers due to the bike industry’s recurrent price increases over the past two years. The bike sector in particular need the government’s attention because of this problem.

People of Pakistan are facing serious economic crisis and the companies are increasing the prices of their bikes day by day and for the local people it is very difficult to afford a good bike now and if u assume that a private job person whose salary is around 40,000/: is not able to afford these Suzuki bikes in this price range he will be forced to buy used bike or that bike whose maintenance is low and parts are easily available in the market.

Jazz Urges Workers To Prepare For Consequences

July 27, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

In an internal message distributed earlier this week to the staff of the firm, Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim expressed his concern on the economic future of the nation and its negative impact on Jazz’s operations on Tuesday.

As we begin to make certain difficult but essential decisions, I am raising the degree of this problem to critical, according to the official message from the Telco Chief that Profit was able to receive.

CEO Warns Of Tough Times Ahead

This report continues the series of incidents that highlight the dire state of telecom firms in recent years. Rising operational expenses as a result of high inflation and rising energy prices are an issue for the business. (Read Profit’s article, Telcos Energy Concerns: Needless Whining or a Genuine Problem, for more information.)

Additionally, due to the high cost of capital and a declining rupee, the international players in the industry have reduced their expectations of profits from Pakistani operations. The benchmark rate used to determine how much value the cash flows generated in the future would have in comparison to the current day is the cost of capital. (E.g. A 250ml juice box was Rs15 a few years ago; today, the identical item costs Rs25. As a result, the Rs 15 is now worth less than it was a few years ago.)

High interest rates, risk premium—a presumed return for making investments in high-risk jurisdictions—and securities are the main causes of the cost of capital. Reputable economist Professor Aswath Damodaran has assessed Pakistan’s equity risk premium to be above 15%, greater than nations like India, Bangladesh, Egypt, and other African nations.

These changes have reduced the value of Telenor ASA’s local businesses, which are owned by Telenor Pakistan. The recoverable amount of its assets in Pakistan is now projected to be about $600 million, down from $850 million due to this impairment. (Read more about it in Profit’s piece Telenor Impairment: Has the group given up?)

Furthermore, PTCL reported a net loss of Rs 3 billion in its financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as a result of high operational costs brought on by the rise in energy prices and skyrocketing interest rates, which increased its finance costs.

In the corporate message, Jazz’s CEO also acknowledged the aforementioned difficulties, saying, “We have all individually been touched by the growing cost of products and services. Even jazz is not immune to the current economic downturn. In actuality, the interest rate increase and the dramatic increase in gasoline and energy prices have a significant impact on us.

In Pakistan, cellular mobile operators (CMO) are in constant need of a business strategy that would enable them to escape the vicious cycle of low average revenues, growing operational expenses, and consequently slim profit margins.
