Designing and manufacturing electric vehicles for real Bangladeshi roads and real Bangladeshi budgets — engineered to last, priced to reach.
Pioneer of Bangladesh's EV manufacturing industry
I'm Mustafa Al Momin — founder & CEO of Palki Motors and a pioneer of Bangladesh's electric vehicle manufacturing industry. I build the country's first homegrown EVs: designed, made, and driven here.
About
I started Palki Motors with a simple conviction: Bangladesh shouldn't just import its electric future — it should build it. So we set out to engineer EVs for the roads, budgets, and realities of the people who actually drive them — and became the first to design and manufacture electric vehicles in Bangladesh.
Today Palki Motors designs and manufactures a growing line of electric vehicles — from city passenger cars to mini pickups — and is proving that world-class engineering can come out of Dhaka. My work sits where hard engineering meets hard economics: landed cost, unit economics, and whether a vehicle truly earns its place in someone's life.
I write and speak about building a homegrown EV industry, climate-positive manufacturing, and what it takes to build a deep-tech company from Bangladesh.
What I focus on
Designing and manufacturing electric vehicles for real Bangladeshi roads and real Bangladeshi budgets — engineered to last, priced to reach.
Proving that vehicles can be engineered and assembled here — creating skilled jobs and industrial capability that stay in the country.
Replacing fossil miles with clean electric miles, one affordable vehicle at a time — measured in tons of CO₂ kept out of the air.
Selected work
