In a candid interview, Runner Group’s Chairman Hafizur Rahman Khan painted a vivid picture of Bangladesh’s automotive evolution, centered on electric vehicles and green tech. Speaking to media on Saturday, he forecasted a steady market shift to advanced systems such as DMI and PHEV, declaring them the blueprint for tomorrow’s mobility.
Eco-awareness is reshaping buyer behavior, with families now favoring vehicles that minimize environmental harm. Khan detailed Runner’s broad manufacturing scope: two-wheelers, three-wheelers, commercial fleets, and BYD assemblies, all infused with next-gen tech. ‘We’re advancing in every sector,’ he said.
Affordability varies by model, aligning with diverse customer needs. Some prioritize premium features over rock-bottom prices, a flexibility Runner embraces.
Echoing India’s strides—where EV sales target 30% of new vehicles by 2030 and policies propel manufacturing leadership—Bangladesh is syncing with this wave. Minister HD Kumaraswamy’s February remarks underscored India’s global edge in electric innovation.
The EV boom is a multifaceted revolution: slashing emissions, boosting economies, spurring tech breakthroughs, and driven by smart governance. Despite minor US hesitations, 2026 projections signal explosive growth. Bangladesh’s focus, as articulated by Khan, ensures it’s not just participating but leading the charge toward sustainable transport.
