Nepal Imported 3,408 Electric Passenger Vans in First 10 Months of 2026

Nepal imported 3,408 electric passenger vans between January and October 2026, according to figures reported by MeroAuto on November 4. The publication says Foton led the brand count with 536 units, followed by Neosia with 513 and King Long with 441. These are import figures, not confirmed retail sales or vehicles already operating on the road.

MeroAuto's month-by-month breakdown shows 618 vans arriving in October, second only to May's 693 in the period it reviewed. Imports were much lower in March, at 61 units. The wide variation matters when interpreting a single month's movement: it can reflect shipment timing as well as changes in demand.

Passenger vans serve routes and institutional uses that differ from private-car purchases, including hotels, schools and transport operators. The import volume points to growing choice in this commercial EV segment, but buyers still need to compare local service support, charging requirements and usable capacity for their routes. The reported totals do not by themselves establish which brands have the strongest after-sales network.
