Runner moves toward manufacturing BYD cars in Bangladesh
Runner completed a technical agreement with BYD and plans factory expansion for local EV production, subject to approvals.
The Daily Star reports that Runner Automobiles has completed a technical agreement with BYD after a feasibility study, creating a path toward manufacturing BYD electric cars in Bangladesh.
The report says Runner will continue importing and marketing BYD vehicles until local production begins. Financing and regulatory approvals remain part of the next step, so this is a manufacturing plan rather than a confirmed production start date.
