Mr. Babar Mahmood Cheema:
Architect of Pakistan's Sustainable Mobility Revolution
A trailblazer in sustainable transportation, Mr. Babar Mehmood Cheema is redefining EV technology through groundbreaking innovations in motor efficiency and energy systems. His engineering team at BSHFMF has developed next-generation IBSS system with PMSM motors with 98% energy conversion rates, specifically optimized for SPakistan’s extreme weather conditions and terrain. The revolutionary “Smart Auto Backup Support System” extends EV range to 1,600 km to 2,000 km at one charge – the highest in developing markets – through patented battery-swapping technology that charges in just 35 to 45 minutes. His research into harnessing wasted UV/radioactive energy from solar panels has yielded hybrid receivers that increase renewable output by 22%, while his work on piezoelectric road charging systems promises to transform highways into continuous power sources for electric vehicles.
Mr. Cheema’s holistic approach merges sustainable mobility with clean energy generation. His “Solar-Skin” technology embeds photovoltaic cells directly into vehicle body panels, creating self-charging EVs, while pioneering gamma-ray conversion systems at power plants capture previously wasted radiation. These dual breakthroughs in energy harvesting and ultra-efficient motor design position Pakistan as an unexpected leader in green transportation R&D. Through his academic collaborations with NUST and LUMS, he’s cultivating a new generation of engineers focused on circular economy solutions, ensuring his innovations achieve both environmental impact and commercial scalability in emerging markets.
