Bangladesh: Profits of commercial vehicle sellers slump in Q1

He didn’t even tag you and wanted to discuss the tall claims of higher per capita GDP, he didn’t abuse your country nor called out names.

It’s better that you don’t come to this thread because forums are for discussions only.
We dont want any panjeets to come to our Section of PDF, do we go to your section and troll you panjeets? No right, now piss off.
 
. . . . . .
Reality hurts? Don't worry, here's more...

According to BBS, the size of Bangladesh land transport sector is $28.4 billion.

The percentage share of land transport sector in Bangladesh's is 8.8% which is higher than the GDP share of all modes of transportation in India (7%).

There is are just 2 problems.

Problem 1: The number of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh per capita is just a fraction of the same in India.

As of 2018, Bangladesh has just..

1/5 times the number of trucks
1/3 times the number of buses
1/14 times the number of light commercial vehicles (4 wheelers- goods)

...per capita, when compared with India.

Want to see something even more funny?

Divide the value addition of land transportation by the total number of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh (490K). Each vehicle adds $58K or 4 million taka to the GDP.

I can't even... :rofl:

Problem 2: Despite claiming a higher GDP per capita than India & a higher share for land transportation in GDP, the primary energy consumption of Bangladesh is a fraction of that of India, per capita.

Primary energy consumption in quadrillion BTUs (British Thermal Units)- US Energy Information Administration.

India: 31.328
Bangladesh: 1.551

That is 2.5 times more per capita.

So Bangladesh's road transportation sector is adding more than 2X per capita when compared with India while the country itself consumes just 2/5th of India's primary energy consumption per capita?

I dont know what you fill the fuel tanks of your trucks with, but the stuff even seen to violate the laws of thermodynamics. :lol:


Please do read the opening post of this thread.

Once again you've revealed the quality of your "gyan".

BD is a port economy genius. Unlike India we aren't trucking stuff across our borders 24/7. BD trucking is done mainly to and from ports.

It's also much smaller than India, so truck use isn't just less per capita - its lower by orders of magnitude. A truck can travel 10 times longer per trip in India, where BD is able to complete several deliveries across the country in the same time frame.

Also, India produces a lot more raw material than BD, hence the need for more trucks. And so on.

There are so many variables but only a biased airhead would try to pick out of context stats to inflate this Indian ego.

BD is a port economy genius.

That's a new word- ''Port economy''. I wonder which economics textbook I should refer to. :lol:

If you meant export-based economy, your external trade is comparable to us per capita. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Unlike India, we aren't trucking stuff across our borders 24/7.

Are we doing that? Our trade through land borders is a minuscule percentage of our total trade.

BD trucking is done mainly to and from ports.

And how does the cargo reach your populace? Are there are no domestic supply chains in Bangladesh?? :rofl:

There is something called ''construction sector'', heard of it?

A truck can travel 10 times longer per trip in India, where BD is able to complete several deliveries across the country in the same time frame

Dear troll, all trucks need not be large tractor trailers used for cross-country hub to hub transportation. There are smaller delivery trucks as well as smaller LCVs. Also trucks used in construction sector need not go cross country either.

As of 2018, Bangladesh has just..

1/5 times the number of trucks
1/3 times the number of buses
1/14 times the number of light commercial vehicles (4 wheelers- goods)

...per capita, when compared with India.

Look at the number of LCVs, it's apparent that you don't even have enough delivery vehicles.

Then there is this interesting tidbit..

Divide the value addition of land transportation by the total number of commercial vehicles in Bangladesh (490K). Each vehicle adds $58K or 5 million taka to the GDP.

No amount of obfuscation would help hide this fakery & fudgery.

The best counterargument to this argument is comparing Bangladesh to any individual Indian state.

The state of Tamil Nadu has a population of 72 million, a GDP of $290 billion & a land area of 130,058 sq. km.

Number of registered trucks in Tamil Nadu: 588K (Bangladesh: 163K)
Number of registered buses in Tamil Nadu: 113K (Bangladesh: 75K)
Number of registered LCVs in Tamil Nadu: 304K (Bangladesh: 38K)

You have land borders with 3 times as many countries as BD. And your domestic distribution needs alone are a gigantic - this is a necessity not progress.


And how does the cargo reach your populace? Are there are no domestic supply chains in Bangladesh?? :rofl:

There is something called ''construction sector'', heard of it?

BD has a handful of major population centres genius. The domestic supply chain does not require hundreds of thousands of trucks like the overblown mess that is India.

Add to this, our main land imports are from India and your truckers deliver straight to site. So tell me how do land cargo vehicle 'purchases' reflect the BD economy?

Mentioning the construction sector you have really shown your stupidity. It's well known that BD imports most of its cement. We were the 6th largest importer in the world in 2020 - and they deliver to site, so we don't need our own trucks.

How does that fit in with your theory?







Dear troll, all trucks need not be large tractor trailers used for cross-country hub to hub transportation. There are smaller delivery trucks as well as smaller LCVs. Also trucks used in construction sector need not go cross country either.

Panditji, you are wriggling all over to avoid the idiotic analysis you've made.

Small or large vehicles, distances are distances. India has massive long distance distribution needs where BD has none.

No amount of obfuscation would help hide this fakery & fudgery.


Obfuscation? Your whole thread is about how cargo vehicle purchases demonstrate a failing economy but the whole things a figment of your imagination.

I've demonstrated to you that BD distribution is more productive with fewer vehicles. If you doubt the official numbers show us comparibles from India and then explain why Indian numbers should be trusted?

India, a country that fudges it's GDP wholesale:

Lol - once again, you manipulate data out of context. You've picked the most industrialised state in all of India!

For every truck in TN there are 100 starving children in another part of India - have some shame, trying to pull a fast one, hiding the stench of your failures with superficial numbers from one of your richest States.


Ps. You and the other Indian imbeciles should perhaps look up the words "port economy" before showing your idiocy online.
 
.
You have land borders with 3 times as many countries as BD.

And what's the total trade volume genius? $12 billion? What's that, 1.5% of our external trade?

Is that a significant amount for ''port economists''? :lol:

And your domestic distribution needs alone are a gigantic

We also have a gigantic railway for that, which carried 1.2123 billion tonnes of freight last FY. Do you want me to talk about yours?

I've demonstrated to you that BD distribution is more productive with fewer vehicles. If you doubt the official numbers show us comparibles from India and then explain why Indian numbers should be trusted?

Yup, more efficient for sure. Just 5 million taka value-added annually to the GDP for every commercial vehicle in Bangladesh... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Talk about fudging data.

Oh & this...

the primary energy consumption of Bangladesh is a fraction of that of India, per capita.

Primary energy consumption in quadrillion BTUs (British Thermal Units)- US Energy Information Administration.

India: 31.328
Bangladesh: 1.551

That is 2.5 times more per capita.

BD has a handful of major population centres genius.

lol, what?

Yes, absolutely... Please do tell me how the Thais, Pakistanis, Emiratis & Vietnamese deliver cement to your ''sites''

1637261018513.png


On a related side note, how does a developing country like BD have a higher per GDP than India while having a far lower cement consumption?

1637261284351.png


and they deliver to site, so we don't need our own trucks.

Also, there are these interesting vehicles called dump trucks, which are widely used in the construction industry. Heard of it? :lol: The market size of the same in India was $2.5 billion or something.

Small or large vehicles, distances are distances. India has massive long distance distribution needs where BD has none.

No use obfuscating. India has something called ''national permits'' for long-distance inter-state trucks, Only 1.5 million of India's 5 million strong truck fleet have NPs.

That effectively means that the rest ply in their own states or in proximity.

And I did compare the number of light commercial vehicles, which are used for door-to-door transportation. Too bad cycle rickshaws aren't counted lol.

Lol - once again, you manipulate data out of context. You've picked the most industrialised state in all of India!

lol, which state do you want to compare with? UP?

Number of registered trucks in UP: 348K (Bangladesh: 163K)
Number of registered buses in UP: 86K (Bangladesh: 75K)
Number of registered LCVs in UP: 334K (Bangladesh: 38K)

Do you want more? Kerala? Madhya Pradesh? :lol:
