On the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha, Akij Renewable Energy and Automobiles Ltd. (AREAL), the automotive division of Akij Venture Group, proudly unveiled two innovative electric vehicles—the BAW M8 and BAW E7 Pro—at the flagship Akij Venture Eid Fest 2026. The dual launch underscores the Group’s commitment to transforming Bangladesh’s transportation sector through clean, intelligent, and sustainable mobility solutions.
The inauguration of “Akij Venture Eid Fest 2026” was ceremonially unveiled by Ms. Monowara Begum, the revered matriarch of the Akij family and beloved mother of Chairman Sheikh Shamim Uddin. Her presence at this landmark event symbolizes the Group’s deep-rooted heritage and its continued commitment to shaping a brighter, more sustainable future for Bangladesh.
Speaking at the launch, Sheikh Shamim Uddin, Chairman of Akij Venture Group, said, "The BAW M8 and BAW E7 Pro are more than just vehicles—they represent our vision for the future of mobility in Bangladesh. Clean, intelligent, and purpose-driven, these vehicles embody our commitment to building a sustainable transportation ecosystem for generations to come."
Bangladesh is at a pivotal moment in its transition toward sustainable energy and transportation. Rising fuel costs, increasing traffic congestion, and growing environmental concerns have intensified the need for efficient and eco-friendly mobility solutions. AREAL’s expanding electric vehicle portfolio directly addresses these challenges by offering consumers practical, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible alternatives to conventional transportation.
Beyond passenger vehicles, Akij Venture Group is developing a comprehensive clean mobility ecosystem that includes electric commercial trucks, electric cargo three-wheelers, electric two-wheelers, smart charging stations, and battery-swapping infrastructure. This integrated approach positions the Group as a leading end-to-end electric mobility solution provider in Bangladesh.
By reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, lowering carbon emissions, and decreasing long-term transportation costs for both consumers and businesses, the Group aims to play a significant role in advancing the country's sustainable development goals.
Through continued investment in electric mobility, renewable energy, and supporting infrastructure, Akij Venture Group remains committed to accelerating Bangladesh’s transition toward sustainable transportation and long-term energy independence. From roads to rooftops, the Group envisions a future that is cleaner, smarter, and proudly powered by Bangladeshi innovation.
The BAW M8 and BAW E7 Pro will be on public display throughout Akij Venture Eid Fest 2026, where visitors will have the opportunity to experience the vehicles firsthand and explore AREAL’s broader vision for a greener and more sustainable Bangladesh.
