From Dhaka’s industrial heart, Hafizur Rahman Khan of Runner Group envisions a green-powered Bangladesh dominating future markets with electric vehicles and pioneering tech like DMI and PHEVs. In his Saturday remarks, he stressed this trajectory as inevitable, driven by environmentally savvy consumers who demand carbon-neutral options.
Runner’s ecosystem is comprehensive: producing two- and three-wheelers, commercial haulers, and assembling BYD cars, all while pricing competitively across models. ‘Customer choice dictates everything,’ Khan remarked, from entry-level to high-end variants.
Sector-wide expansion marks Runner’s strategy, embedding green innovations universally. This aligns with India’s EV ascent, fortifying by 2026 toward a 30% electric sales milestone by 2030, as championed by Minister HD Kumaraswamy for global manufacturing supremacy.
The worldwide EV narrative weaves ecology, fiscal growth, technological leaps, and regulatory frameworks. Post-2026 forecasts predict acceleration, tempered by isolated slowdowns in places like the US. Bangladesh’s proactive stance, voiced by Khan, heralds a pivotal role in this epochal shift to sustainable mobility.
