- Runner Automobiles PLC is a Bangladesh-based automotive manufacturing and distribution company engaged in the production, assembly, marketing, and servicing of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and electric vehicles. The company operates through distinct business segments comprising Two-Wheelers, Three-Wheelers, Electric Mobility, and After-Sales Services and Spare Parts. Its comprehensive product and service portfolio includes sub-100cc to 200cc internal combustion motorcycles, commuter bikes, and scooters under its proprietary Runner brand; premium and sports motorcycles distributed under the KTM brand; scooters and commuter two-wheelers distributed under the Vespa and Aprilia brands; compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) passenger and commercial three-wheelers manufactured and assembled under the Bajaj brand; electric two-wheelers and scooters; electric three-wheelers; new energy passenger vehicles and electric cars under the BYD brand; and genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts, components, and automotive lubricants. In addition, the company provides maintenance, repair, warranty coverage, and retail financing services through a nationwide network of authorized dealerships, showrooms, and service centers across Bangladesh. Headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with integrated manufacturing, press, welding, painting, and engine assembly facilities in Bhaluka, Mymensingh, the company also exports vehicles to international markets, including Nepal and Bhutan. Founded in 2000 and converted into a public limited company in 2012, Runner Automobiles PLC operates as the flagship automotive subsidiary of Runner Group. In recent strategic developments, the company has undertaken a major expansion into the passenger electric vehicle market through a Master Supply and Manufacturing Agreement and Technical License Agreement with BYD Company Limited to distribute and locally assemble BYD electric vehicles in Bangladesh. To support this operational transition, Runner Automobiles PLC acquired industrial land in Sreepur and Bhaluka for specialized EV production lines, initiated a BDT 250 crore preference share capital raise to finance passenger vehicle manufacturing facilities, and expanded localized assembly operations for Bajaj RE three-wheelers at its dedicated manufacturing plant.
