How to move the speedometer needle through analogWrite?

I want to move the needle of the speedometer using arduino. I have connected the wire from the speedometer to one of the PWM pin. The arduino code is:

int pin = 9; //PWM pin
int speed = 100; // value to be written to the speedometer
void setup() {
  // declare pin 9 to be an output:
  pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // set the pin to the speed
  analogWrite(pin, speed);
}

The problem is that when i set the speed value to anything below 140, the needle does not move at all whereas if i set the speed value to greater or equal to 140 the needle rotates fully to the maximum value on the speedometer. I want the needle to rotate to 100 if i set the pin to value 100. How can this be achieved? Any ideas.

We need a description of your speedometer, is it a simple DC Voltmeter? If so what is the full scale voltage?
Can you post a link or brand name / part number?

The speedometer brand name is suzuki alto.

Actually earlier we were driving the speedometer through PLC. But now we want to do the same thing through Arduino.
In PLC, the following statement was driving the speedometer:

PLSY D110 K0 Y2

Post a link to the speedometer product page or data sheet.

The details of the speedometer are as:
Part Name: Speedometer Assy (Blue and Double trip)
Part Number: 34100M79F60

I could not find a link or the datasheet on the internet.

I doubt you can find that info on the net.

Your speedometer might be a stepper motor.
