Transporters in Pakistan often consider several factors when choosing a vehicle, and this has led to the adoption of various alternatives and a shift in market trends.
Light and Medium Duty Trucks
For smaller businesses and shorter-distance deliveries within urban areas, light and medium-duty trucks are a common alternative to heavy cargo trucks. Brands like Forland offer models like the C-10 and C-19, which are popular for their load capacity (1-1.5 tons), fuel efficiency, and suitability for city transport. These vehicles are also used as a platform for various modifications, such as box trucks, refrigerator trucks, and tippers.
Used Vehicles
The market for used trucks from various brands, including those not officially represented in Pakistan, is also a significant alternative for transporters looking for more affordable options.
Specialized Vehicles
The need for specialized transport has also given rise to various vehicle types, such as tipper trucks for construction, refrigerated trucks for food and pharmaceuticals, and flatbed trucks for oversized cargo.
