Himalayan Organization will now sell Maxus brand electric vehicles in Nepal. Previously, Paramount Motors was responsible for bringing Maxus vehicles into the Nepali market.
Paramount Motors used to sell Maxus pickups, vans, and the electric Mifa 9 vehicle. However, Himalayan Organization will now handle sales. It looks certain that Paramount Motors will stop selling the Maxus brand.
