摩托车工业


To understand the motor cycle industry in Bangladesh it is important to understand the road network of Bangladesh.

要了解孟加拉摩托车工业，首先要了解孟加拉的道路网络 Basically a flat plain, the country is crisscrossed by a intensive network of

highways, roads, feeder roads and country roads. 作为一个基本上是平原的国家，由高速公路，公路，次级路及乡村道路组成的网络覆盖

Being very densely populated and land being very scarce the roads are very narrow.

人口密集，土地紧缺，道路狭窄 Rather it fits small vehicle better and motor cycles are increasingly becoming

more user friendly.更适合小型交通工具，因此摩托车越来越受欢迎

Amount (in million US $)

Motor cycle industry in Bangladesh is basically an import industry, though there is some small assembly plants, both in public and private sector. However, these plants can cater very negligible amount of motor cycle in comparison to the local demand. As such the import of motor cycle is quite staggering and increasing every year.

孟加拉摩托车工业基本是一个进口工业。虽然有一些小型组装工厂（有国营和私营企业），但相对于本地需求，只能满足很小部分。摩托车进口正逐年增长。
