BD ranks one of lowest in owning motor vehicles.

[Gandh brandi]

While these Pao-bhaji morons are dancing in ecstasy about their 'indigenous' garbage-producing 'achievement', let me enlighten the rest of you with some nuggets of their unparalleled 'vedic' technology, capable of only producing the lowest form of excreta in the vehicular universe, the crap they are polluting the rest of the world with.

Yes I'm talking about none other than the flimsy tinfoil rolling disasters-on-wheels (aka deathtraps) made in that God-forsaken dump known as 'Endeya' (Renault’s Kwid, Hyundai Eon and Maruti Suzuki’s Celerio) which failed every crash test conducted by Global NCAP in Europe. I'm surprised they haven't banned these in Europe yet. Cheap? Cheaper?? Cheapest??? Can you say 'Holy Indian crap' boys and girls ??

"The tests showed that either poor structure or lack of air bags in the cars exposed occupants to life-threatening injuries, Global NCAP said.The results echoes similar findings in earlier tests by the watchdog on a different group of Indian cars.................David Ward, secretary general of Global NCAP told The Wall Street Journal that the results “reflect a legacy problem in India which is a lack of regulation and also consumer’s lack of awareness.”

“Global NCAP strongly believes that no manufacturer anywhere in the world should be developing new models that are so clearly sub-standard,” he said. “Car makers must ensure that their new models pass the UN’s minimum crash test regulations............."

But BD still only imports 20k cars. Surely you guys are rich enough for 45+% tax on cars of 1500cc engine, 100+% tax on 1501-200cc cars and and 200+% tax on 2001-2700cc. And remember, our cars are going to Japan! Japan!!! Where Nissan and Mitsubishi tried and absolutely failed to sell made-in-thailand cars, we will prevail!

You must be awarded a Nobel Prize on invention of false news. Japan has a system to control its exports at the Ports. The vehicles have to be transported at certain points in the Port area to check for radiation by the Inspectors after the earthquake and Tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011.

Japan strictly follows a proclaimed decree. It is not like a 3rd rate country called India. So, please do not post all your bullshit news. When exporters cannot export a car with radiation, how do you state that BD Ports were full of those cars?

My point about 'lying' and 'dhokeybaaz' Indian trolls confirmed. Thanks.

Who said anything about radiation? I was talking about the cars that were written off due to floods. I thought I had made it quite clear by highlighting the word flooded.

It's not false news he's pushing, nowadays it's called 'alternative facts'.

I bet you to go find more than a dozen Indian Balenos in the streets of Dhaka, they don't buy Bheekhari cars like Balenos. The most common models in use in Dhaka are Toyota Allion and Premio models. Nobody will be caught dead in a Baleno, or worse - an Indian-made one.

That's very correct. Pretty sure you will hardly find Balenos on Dhaka streets. Toyota Allion and Premio are the most popular and used cars. We ourselves have Allion 2016 model. This is for the middle class.

Possibly the only Indian car I noticed was the old black-colored Maruti ones, previously used as taxis if you remember. But they were removed quick and swift due to lack of performance. You will find none of them in Dhaka anymore, even not outside Dhaka. The taxis we had for some years are ALL Toyota.

Talking about rich people in posh neighborhoods (Banani and beyond to Baridhara), up till date I had never seen any Indian cars. Majority are Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes.. going up till classic sports cars.

As memory serves you are the one who invited your special 'boyfriend' troller Nilgiri to troll me.

Dishing it out but can't take it - eh?

Suit yourself dada. You really aren't worth engaging.....no offense.

To troll you? @Nilgiri seems interested in everything Bangladesh, so I thought of keeping him in the loop. Am sorry to be the one to inform you that the world doesn't revolve around YOU. You had zero posts in this thread at the time I "invited" Nilgiri.

And I am not here to troll, its a well known fact that the second hand car markets the world over got flushed with flood damaged cars post Fukushima, Bangaldesh being no different. Ask the buyers and they ll tell you. You as per usual, sitting in America can choose to ignore the reality.

Thanks. I'm personally glad that Kolkata firms have not built Dhaka's flyovers considering the track record. What was the fault with this one?

Seems, India-educated civil design engineers of Kolkata do not even know how to calculate Bending Moments and Shearing Forces on a loaded structure, though India has many good writers on these subjects. Quality of material and construction procedure could be other reasons for a breakdown of an overhead bridge. No wonder west Bengal is so far behind BD and other parts of India.

I have asked opinion of BD people about Indian cars. They said even a 10 year old Japanese car is better than an India made new car.

Many countries expanding their economy fast and thus not having 100% standards enforcement suffer from similar problems:

BD is not even at the stage where there is any major expansion going on (can check the cement, steel consumption etc) so you would not know the issues at hand. They are implementation specific (standards), not engineering theory specific.

Also remember that even the future workforce of BD will still be worse quality than current workforce of India....and BD corruption will barely improve too (given there is 0 improvement since 2012)...just so you know what to expect when you try to expand your capacities in overpopulated areas down the road:

The point is, statistics from BD govt are not worth the paper they are written on

India is better in that regard, but nowhere near world class.

But we have lots of private production and data compilation regarding that....whereas what is BD's biggest company that can record that?

Whenever BD govt cannot easily fake (through its corruption), the true reality of BD's miserably weak economy comes through (normally consumption related data). Unfortunately BD social indices are by and large controlled/calculated by one of the worlds absolute worst quality and corrupt govts. A large handful of salt is not enough for anything it claims. Just on this very forum a BAL pamphlet on claimed education achievement was exposed to be completely wrong when looking at UNESCO figures for BD.

You know the worst thing? There isn't even any progress for BD regarding corruption. 2012 score was 26, its still 26 today. In contrast India, Indonesia and many other large population countries are improving quite fast at already better levels to begin with.

As long as BD is stuck in its rut of corruption, my impression of its social indices will not change....and I will bring this qualification as to why... each time someone trumpets it like its some overarching truth. North Korea after all is a big success story according to North Korea govt too

You Indians are so backward. Still stuck with the outdated concept of materialism - cars don't mean progress.

After your rant, the fact still remains Bangladesh is ahead of India on so many indicators. Plus we have a happier population- go and buy that.

Enlighten yourself:

http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/...de-in-india-cars-are-being-exported-to-japan/

Now go back to focusing on how to get your country to buy more than a measly 20,000 cars (15,000 secondhand clunkers) per year.

japan in a bid to survive is moving thier car manufacturing assembling plant to other countries,.... although they are still holding on to important ones themselves... like the lexus LFA... even though the production is finished.... they haven't moved that yet

 

[Al-zakir]

Yes cause you are a Bangladeshi, you d rather buy a second hand JDM Toyota with 30,000 Km on the odometer with your money than an brand new Indian made VW, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, Renault or Hyundai

Classic case of cutting of your nose to spite your face

You didn't say. Since when?

 

[Nilgiri]

You Indians are so backward. Still stuck with the outdated concept of materialism - cars don't mean progress.

HDI better for you? And where is BD on that...even with the BAL/BBS inserted/claimed statistics?

After your rant, the fact still remains Bangladesh is ahead of India on so many indicators.

According to BBS/BAL essentially. BD scores a bit better than North Korea when it comes to corruption....no one cares what you spout regarding health and education (I mean who can seriously believe BD when it sends nearly a million people across to India for the most basic and routine treatments according to this very forum?).

Consumption you can't cover up so easily (given you have to get the private sector both domestic and foreign to play ball and someone will quickly trip the alarm), thats why you fail on it big time.

That's why there is so much dissonance with people's experiences when they go back to BD as well.

Seems the BAL/BBS philosophy has permeated to you defense forum types haha. Have to cling on to something, anything....no matter how fake it most likely is in reality....because of the automatic impression people have about BD (if they have even heard about it in the first place).

I will ensure this message spreads to everyone that mentions anything to do with BD in positive light....I will simply point them to the corruption index and ask them.....do you think its essentially believable with that in mind?

Well it was a reply to the guy thinking India exporting cars to Japan is fake and a joke.

Of course Japan is going to hold onto large amounts of relevant car production...even as time goes by. They still produce way more cars than India does (mostly for export), even in raw total numbers. Where they can extract the best premium themselves, they will retain. Where it makes most sense to outsource/utilise other global supply chains, they will invest and do so.

Bangladesh is a cesspool of dumping unfit cars.

The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority’s ongoing drive against unfit vehicles and fake driving licenses all over the country appears to have had little impact.
Many unfit vehicles still ply the Dhaka city streets and highways, and at roads in other parts of the country.
Many of these vehicles were hurriedly painted over by transport owners at different areas in the capital, including Jatrabari, Demra and Aminbazar.
Meanwhile, passengers are also suffering because of a sudden shortage of public transportation on the roads.
Experts said the government should arrange alternative transportation service, especially through Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation buses, during drives like these to ease passenger suffering.
The authorities have taken action against only a handful of fake driving licenses and owners of unfit vehicles across the country, during its recent rive following a High Court order.
The highest number of cases were filed in Dhaka metropolitan city against vehicle owners and drivers for driving unfit vehicles, holding fake driving licenses and not possessing driving licenses.
Since August 5, a total of 32 fake driving licenses have been seized while cases have been filed against 460 unfit vehicles, 83 of which have been dumped.

http://archive.newagebd.net/150164/fake-licenses-unfit-vehicles-drive-brings-no-change/

460 unfit vehicles that is how much 10% of Crème de la crème of 5000 Junks sold in Bangladesh every year?

Hahahahahaha. Bangladeshis duped again.

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

most of the cars in some regions are not custom paid and are not counted in Pakistan data. example balochistan.
But bangladesh will be number 1 in owning boats and cycle rickshah.
