CEO of Haier Pakistan, Javed Afridi, has hinted at initiating a grand project of the bullet train from Peshawar to Karachi on Wednesday.

He shared the pictures of the prototype of the project on his official Twitter account. According to Afridi, the bullet train will run alongside Peshawar to Karachi motorway. As per the details shared by him, the line length of the bullet train will be 1,872 km (1,163 mi) that will run at an operating speed of 350 km/h (217 mph).

His followers have expressed excitement on social media regarding his plans. A discourse picked up between the social media users on the feasibility and practicality of the project.

Afridi’s hint at bringing Tesla to Pakistan should in no way be taken lightly as the much-acclaimed businessman recently launched a popular British automotive brand Morris Garages in the country. MG has setup 3s dealerships across the country which have already started selling CBU’s imported from China to its domestic consumers.
