He also inquired in detail about the vehicles’ engineering, software, and technical features.

Senior government officials and leading representatives from the country’s automobile sector were present at the event. At one stage of the exhibition tour, the Prime Minister personally test-drove a sports car and an electric lorry. Later, during discussions with representatives of the participating companies, he emphasized expanding the production capacity of the local automobile industry and promoting these environmentally friendly technologies beyond the domestic market to the international stage.

After hearing about the opportunities and challenges faced by entrepreneurs, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman called on the country’s youth and young IT professionals to become actively involved in this promising modern technology sector. He noted that the initiative to locally manufacture sports cars and electric lorries would serve as a major milestone in transforming the country’s digital infrastructure and sustainable transportation ecosystem.
