With the recent trend pointing towards an electric only future of the automotive industry, Bangladesh has been receiving its fair share of electric vehicle (EV) offerings. While car shows are not exactly rare in the country anymore, a full-on EV expo is something new, a sure sign of the electric tide sweeping through the global automotive industry. Bangladesh Electric Vehicle and Mobility Exhibition (BEVMX) by Savor International Limited evidently highlighted this new trend.

Through this event, BEVMX brought together a dazzling variety of electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers under one roof in the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), showcasing everything from futuristic e-bikes to luxury sedans.

Entering the venue, Akij Motors were ready to welcome the visitors with a retro themed electric vehicle, setting the stage for the main event by offering a courtesy shuttle to Hall 3. Inside, Akij had one of the biggest stalls of the event, highlighting their diverse collection of e-scooters, e-bikes and three wheelers. Their electric three-wheelers, ones being test ridden around the venue, in particular were head turners for passersby.

Right next to it, on one side was BYD– one of the largest electric vehicle manufacturers in the world at the moment– and Great Wall Motors on the other side with their ORA and Haval lineup. Visitors seemed particularly interested in the sleek Seal sedan from BYD, which starts at about Tk80 lakhs. The ORA Cat on the other hand, also managed to turn heads with its rounded silhouette and retro styling.
