The name "REVO" was derived from the word revolution, which it was supposed to make.[3] However, production stopped by September 2006[4] due to unavailability of funds and lack of government support.[5] Only 600 cars were sold.[3]
There were two variants available, equipped with two different Chinese made engines; the Revo 80 (0.8L) and Revo 105 (1.05L).
The Revo was envisaged to be between 10% and 15% cheaper than other local competitors, mainly the Mehran 800, which dominates Pakistan's automobile industry.
