Bangladesh lies in a geographically dangerous zone with temperature rise and being one of the prime victims of climate change. The government's concerns regarding the climate issue coupled with our expanding economy seem to create a demand for an efficient and safe transportation system. This association will enable Omega Seiki Mobility to meet the evolving needs of a customer base which is rapidly looking for a sustainable and a zero emission last-mile transportation solution in the growing Bangladesh market. Omega Seiki Mobility will be offering an entire range of electric 4 wheeler- M1KA Trucks exclusively to Brandwin.
Commenting on the partnership, Uday Narang, Founder and Chairman, Omega Seiki Mobility said, “Omega Seiki Mobility, amplifying its Electric vehicle business in the Bangladesh market is the next logical step in our internationalization strategy. Our High Tech Electric Trucks offer exactly the current needs of the Country, and we will be able to play to our strengths in this highly dynamic market. In addition, the geographical proximity to India provides great synergy effects; as early as 2024, we will be exporting vehicle kits from our Indian plant in Faridabad to Bangladesh, marking a major advancement of our EV Manufacturing 2.0 project. The alliance will allow us to expand our partnership to help businesses enhance their profitability who are trying to learn to switch to sustainable last-mile transportation in Bangladesh. This is also a major step in OSM’s attempt to take Indian manufacturing to the global map.”
Ali Haider Ratan, Managing Director & CEO, Brandwin Group of companies said, “Bangladesh is one of the growing economies of this South Asian region. Its economy is growing at an average 6% percent per year. The country has now become the second largest economy among the SARC and exports reached 50 billion dollars. Although the automobile industry of Bangladesh is more developed than before, so far it has not achieved the expected success. Along with the growing GDP of Bangladesh, people’s buying power is increasing gradually. Similarly, people’s lifestyles are changing as well. So, the usage of Electric Vehicles will rise for sure. One of the major advantages of the Electric Truck of Omega Seiki Mobility is the quality of the product and its technology. By maintaining high quality and with proper marketing strategies we believe, we can secure a large portion of the market share within the shortest possible time in Bangladesh. It’s a great honor for Brandwin Group to be the local manufacturing partner of Omega Seiki Mobility in Bangladesh.”
