In Pakistan, Labs Testing for Efficiency are Advancing Motor Manufacturing

Until recently, most local motor manufacturers in Pakistan only tested the basic functionality of the motors they produced. A recent collaboration between CLASP and SAMA_Verte is helping local manufacturers improve motor efficiency testing.

Improved, state-of-the-art testing labs are at the heart of this transformation. Equipped with advanced tools like calibrated dynamometers, power analyzers, and thermal imaging, these labs are helping engineers identify energy losses, improve designs, and ensure compliance with new national regulations set by the National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Authority (NEECA) in Pakistan.

With access to high-quality testing data, manufacturers are redesigning components, reducing energy losses by over 20%, and delivering motors that are more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective. Beyond individual products, these advancements are lifting the entire industry—with the potential to boost exports in the future, creating skilled jobs and opening doors to a more energy-efficient future.

A collaborative initiative between CLASP and SAMA^Verte, the Industry Accelerator is aimed at transforming Pakistan’s electric motor manufacturing sector. Launched in 2023, the program focuses on enhancing the energy efficiency of locally produced electric motors and modernizing production processes. By providing technical assistance, facilitating international knowledge exchange, and supporting the development of energy-efficiency standards, the Industry Accelerator seeks to reduce energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, and strengthen the competitiveness of Pakistan’s motor industry.
