The JaXari NUR-E 75 is a locally-produced Pakistani electric city car, first unveiled at Karachi on 15 August 2022 for Pakistan's diamond jubilee.[1][2][3] It is designed by the DICE (Distinguished Innovation, Collaboration & Entrepreneurship) Foundation, a Detroit-headquartered non-profit organization consisting of expatriate Pakistanis from worldwide locations such as the US and EU which provides engineering services to Pakistani organizations. The JaXari brand is named after 12th-century engineer and scientist Ismael al-Jazari.[4]
Overview
DICE Foundation chairman Dr. Khurshid Qureshi said that initial engineering for the project began in 2019, and the fully functional prototype presented in August 2022 is ready for testing and the regulatory approval process. Additionally, the project has plans to develop a small SUV and sedan in the future after the original hatchback model is put into production. At the vehicle's planned production start date in the fourth quarter of 2024, around 60% of the parts will be locally produced, which is expected to increase to 80% in the following years.[5] Definite pricing details were not announced, but Qureshi said that the NUR-E should be priced well below contemporary vehicle options in the segment such as the Nissan Leaf and Honda e, which are priced at $35,000 and $40,000 USD, respectively; a company representative said the price should not be expected to fall below ₨2,000,000 (approx. $9,300 USD).[5]
In May 2023, the DICE Foundation said that they had set up an R&D office in the Korangi Industrial Area in January of that year, with plans to setup a manufacturing facility in 2024 in time for production and deliveries to begin in early 2025.[4]
