Adam Revo
The Adam Revo was a city car made by the now defunct Adam Motor Company of Pakistan. It was the first car to be designed and assembled in Pakistan and was launched in 2005. The name "REVO" was derived from the word revolution, which car was supposed to make. [1] Production of this model stopped by September 2006[2] due to unavailability of funds and lack of government support.[3] Only 600 cars were sold. [4]
