Atlas Honda Limited is a joint venture between Atlas Group and Honda Motor Company that manufactures and markets Honda motorcycles in Pakistan. It has the largest market share for motorcycles in the country.

Atlas Honda Limited was created in 1988 through the merger of two motorcycle manufacturing companies established by Atlas Group. It has a technical collaboration with Honda Motor Company to manufacture Honda motorcycles.

Atlas Honda Limited has manufacturing plants in Karachi and Sheikhupura. The Karachi plant manufactures CD70 models while the Sheikhupura plant manufactures CD70, CD100, CG125 and CG125 Deluxe models. It also has various regional offices around Pakistan.

Company Introduction

Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) is a joint venture between the Atlas Group and
Honda Motor Co. Ltd., Japan. The company was created by the merger of
Panjdarya Limited and Atlas Autos Ltd. in 1988. Both these motorcycle
manufacturing concerns were established by the Atlas Group. In addition, a
third concern, Atlas Epak Ltd. was taken over by the Government of
Bangladesh in 1971 after the fall of Dhaka. AHL manufactures and markets
Honda motorcycles in collaboration with Honda Motor Company. The
Company also manufactures various hi-tech components in-house in
collaboration with leading parts manufacturers like Showa Atsumitech,
Nippon Denso and Toyo Denso. Honda motorcycles are by far the largest
selling motorcycles in the country with an unmatched reputation for high
quality, reliability and after-sales-service.

AHL has undertaken to develop local manufacturing capabilities to the


highest, economically feasible level. While a major role in localization has
been assigned to vendor industries, Atlas has the country’s largest in-house
manufacturing capability at its Karachi and Sheikhupura plants. To support
the production facilities, the company has established an R&D wing and tool
making facilities through CAD/CAM which are growing rapidly in size and
function as the company expands. Atlas has managed to execute 12 Joint
Venture/Technical Assistance Agreements between local vendors and foreign
manufacturers for transfer of technology. Besides, Atlas has directly
executed 9 Joint Venture/Technical Assistance Agreements other than
Honda.

AHL management is striving to modernize company operations by adapting


applicable aspects of research and theory and more specifically, Honda’s
unique philosophy of hard/soft technologies to the realities of Pakistani
conditions. Company management structure, systems and processes are
changed according to the demands of the customer, growth and new
technology. Efforts are being made to develop participation at all levels of
personnel in decision-making and a substantial and effective delegation has
been established at levels where applicable. Various participation programs
such as ‘Ala Mayar’ Quality Circles movement, launched in 1985, are
strongly encouraged to allow constructive self-expression and teamwork.
The Company training and development programs encourage all members to
develop themselves and contribute to their full potential.

AHL is playing a pioneering role in creating conditions for easy and confident
use of motorcycles all over the country. A vast and growing network of over
1600 sales service and spare parts dealers has been established. In order to
back up this system, Atlas has set up Warranty & Training Centers (WTC) in
Karachi and Lahore which provide several courses of varying duration and
complexity for motorcycle mechanics and users each year. Mobile training
facilities take the latest know-how, technology and maintenance of
motorcycles to major rural and urban centers around the country.
