The Haval H6 PHEV model has a price of approximately Rs. 12.895 million. The cost of bullet-proof modifications for each vehicle amounts to Rs. 8.8 million. The overall expense reaches Rs. 238.645 million.

The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Security Division Lahore, protects both ATC judges and foreign dignitaries and essential government facilities. He emphasized that these vehicles require immediate acquisition to enhance security operations.
