The statement was made by Kazi Zashimul Islam, president of Baagh Eco Motors, during a news conference at the National Press Club in Dhaka.
To reduce environmental pollution, speakers stated that they intended to replace the 40 lakh automobiles utilizing dangerous acid-lead batteries with lithium-ion batteries and solar electricity that meet all safety regulations.
Our intention is not to damage those who earn a living from lead-acid battery-powered automobiles. We are making them an offer in exchange for using our product in exchange for a small down payment. They will grant the funds through EMIs at 0% interest.
