The brand offers an array of 11 models across six different series, catering to various customer preferences, riding needs, and applications. AirV's designs blend modern aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, including cruise control, regenerative battery technology, NFC capabilities, and anti-theft features.\n\nThe new line-up comes equipped with lithium battery options and model-specific ranges capable of covering up to 200 kilometres. AirV provides customers with an array of choices, depending on their individual requirements and tastes. Airlink's production processes are set to be implemented at their manufacturing facility located in the Sundar Green Special Economic Zone (SGSEZ) in Lahore. The company's CEO, Muzaffar Hayat Paracha, announced that the manufacturing capacity will be phased in over time.\n\nParacha also revealed that Airlink aims to manufacture nearly 95% of all products domestically within the next two to three years, thereby diminishing reliance on imported components.
