Considering the high daily cost and inadequate public transport, buying a second-hand car is a rational and cost-effective option for many working professionals.  The used car market is a large and diverse one. Globally more used cars are sold compared to brand-new ones. Despite the high sales volume in the used car market, potential buyers may end up wasting their hard-earned money if they fail to pick the right car. It's necessary to ensure that the purchased car is in good and road-safe condition. To that end, here’s a checklist to consider before investing money in a second-hand car.  Why should you thoroughly check before buying a second-hand car? There are a lot of reasons why you should prepare and go through a checklist before buying a second-hand car. Here are a few reasons.  Safety  The first is safety. Safety is the top priority of any car owner as nobody wants to be at risk riding their car. Checking for the vehicle history and performance can ensure whether the car would run reliably and safely for the new owner.  Read more: These are the Top Super Luxury Cars for 2023  Cost  There is always the risk of getting duped with used cars. It might be some internal issue or the engine issue which is not apparent from the outside. These issues may not show up at the start, rather the signs start showing after a few hundred kms.  Without a proper inspection, a potential buyer might end up spending more on repair and maintenance in the long run.  Legal Issues  Another reason to check a second-hand car is for its usage history. The potential car might be stolen or it might have an outstanding loan against it. In any case, as the new owner, the buyer can be held responsible for any legal issue with the car.  Peace of Mind  Lastly, buying a second-hand car is always a stressful ordeal. Checking the car before buying not only minimizes the risk of getting scammed, but it also brings peace of mind for the new owner.  Read more: Bangladesh will assemble Hyundai cars by end of this year: South Korean envoy Checklist for buying used car  Vehicle History  The first and foremost thing to check is the history of the vehicle. Every car has a usage history that outlines damage and accident reports. Even if there is no explicit mention of accidents, look for repaired damage signs. It is much easier to spot external damages like panel gaps or paint overspray.  But if the car has internal damage like the ones created by floods or natural disasters, it might be very difficult to assess the damage. The potential buyer can take the help of a mechanic to check for water damage as it might not show upfront but it may create an issue in the long run.  Physical Inspection  Physical inspections are best done with the help of a car expert or a mechanic. There are two steps to physical inspection – internal and external.  The external inspections include checking for any kind of external damage. It is recommended to look for dents, scratches, rusts, and signs of previous repair.  Read more: How to Reduce Oil Consumption in Cars Before buying a second-hand car, the potential buyer needs to conduct an internal inspection carefully.  - The seats, carpets, dashboard, and other places inside the car should be checked for any signs of wear and tear. - The air conditioning system should not be left unchecked. The same inspection process is needed for the wipers, lights, and the heating system.  - The door hinges should be checked, like whether they close smoothly or not.

Dhaka-Khulna and Dhaka-Barishal highways were thrown open on Tuesday (October 25, 2022) morning, nearly 10 hours after remaining closed for vehicular movement in the wake of uprooted trees blocking several stretches during Cyclone Sitrang. Around 8:30 pm on Monday, the front part of the cyclone started lashing Bangladesh, uprooting trees. "As the fallen trees blocked at least 80km areas on the two highways, the movement of vehicles had to be suspended," said Taimur Alam, officer-in-charge of Bhanga highway police station. On Tuesday, around 7am, vehicular movement resumed on the two highways after highway police and fire service removed the fallen trees after the rain and storm stopped, said the OC. Read Dhaka office-goers stuck in gridlock, traffic jam from Khilkhet to Abdullahpur During heavy rains and storm influenced by the cyclone, trees broke down in the Talma Pukuria area on the Dhaka-Barishal highway and in Majhra, Majhigati, Risatala, Joy Bangla, Kailar Mor, Mansurabad on the Dhaka-Khulna highway, said police and fire officials. Cyclone Sitrang crossed the Barishal-Chattogram coast near Bhola on Monday midnight and weakened rapidly into a depression by giving precipitation, the met office said in its latest bulletin. Sitrang moved north-northeastwards very fast and completed crossing the Barishal-Chattogram coast, and it now lies over Dhaka-Cumilla-Brahmanbaria and adjoining areas as a land depression, said Bangladesh Meteorological Department.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday inaugurated the third Shitalakhya Bridge in Narayanganj, aiming to ease traffic movement between Chattogram and the southwestern districts via Padma Bridge.    She opened the bridge for public through a video conference from her office.    The Bridge is named after valiant freedom fighter AKM Nasim Osman. It will connect Narayanganj city with Bandar upazila, which would help boost local economy.     The 1.29-kilometer bridge will enable Chattogram region-bound vehicles from southwestern region and vice-versa to bypass Narayanganj city to avoid traffic congestion and save times.   The bridge will connect Madanganaj of Bandar upazila to the east with Syedpur of Narayanganj Sadar upazila to the west.    At present, engine boats are key communication mode for the people of both sides of the river and other areas to cross it.    Now vehicles from the southwestern region use Jatrabari route in Dhaka via Postogola Bridge to go to Chattogram region or use Chashara and Signboard route to reach their destinations.   Read: PM opens Bangladesh’s first 6-lane bridge over Madhumati river   The vehicles will not have to face severe traffic congestion in Panchabati BSCIC industrial area, Panchabati intersection, Chashara intersection, Singboard, Chattogram road in Narayanganj or Postogola and Shanir Akhra route in Dhaka.   The vehicles will be able to bypass capital as well as Narayanganj city, which will result in less pressure on the capital and Narayanganj.   The project was approved in 2010 in ECNEC while construction work started on January 28 in 2018.    The bridge construction was estimated at a cost of Tk 608.56 crore as Tk 263.36 crore came from Bangladesh government fund and Tk 345.20 crore from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD).   The bridge with walkways has 38 spans - five in river and 33 in the east and west ends. The width of the bridge along with walkways is 22.15 meters.   The Shitalakhya River separates the Bandar Upazila and Sonargoan Upazila from the district headquarters.    These two Upazilas in Narayanganj are not directly connected to the district headquarters by road. Kanchpur Bridge (Shitalakhya-1 Bridge) has to be used to go the district headquarters from the two upazilas, which requires nearly 30 km of travelling by road to cross just 3 to 5 kilometers of distance through the river by boat.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said her government has been developing a modern transport system by implementation of different projects to accelerate the country’s economic growth. “We’re developing a modern transport system,” she said while opening the 1493-metre ‘Bangamata Begum Fazilatun Nesa Mujib 8th Bangladesh-China Friendship Bridge’ over Kacha River at Bekutia in Pirojpur, which established the uninterrupted road connectivity between Khulna Division and Barishal Division.

The Chinese government provided Tk 654.80 crore as project assistance for the bridge while the Bangladesh government spent Tk 239.80 crore. The bridge also strengthened the road connectivity between Pirojpur and Dhaka. It also strengthened the road connectivity among Kuakata Sea beach, Payra deep sea port, Mongla sea port and the country's largest land port Benapole. Sheikh Hasina said it is her government’s duty to change the fate of the people in the entire country. “We’ve already advanced a long way in the journey of our socio-economic development.

The current landscape of automobiles is heavily oil-dependent. Petroleum is still the most readily accessible fuel option for automobiles. But with the global rising cost of fuel, it became imperative to be efficient with oil consumption. Besides this, some factors cause excessive fuel consumption in vehicles. Have you ever checked whether your car is consuming more fuel than usual? Here are several methods to reduce oil consumption in cars. Signs of Excess Fuel Consumption in Cars Before diving into efficient oil consumption, it is important to understand the signs of excess oil consumption in cars. One of the more telltale signs of high oil consumption is the constant low bar on the fuel gauge. Other indicators include: Bad Smell If you constantly smell burning oil in your car, chances are high that there is an issue with the oil flow. This problem might occur from a faulty gasket or a piston ring. Whatever the case, it causes oil to leak into the combustion chamber of the engine. Read Online Ticket Booking in Bangladesh: Websites for Buying Train, Bus, Launch, Air Tickets This is not ideal as oil isn’t supposed to directly enter the combustion chamber. In addition to running the risk of accidents, it also causes the inside of the car to smell like burnt oil as you fire up the engine. Blue Smoke When you keep the car in neutral for too long, you will see that blue smoke is coming out of the exhaust. This is another clear sign that your car is consuming more oil than it should. The blue smoke is generally attributed to excess oil consumption. While it’s a secondary sign to the oil smell, it’s something that reiterates the problem with the piston rings. What Causes Excess Oil Consumption in Cars So now that you know the signs of excess oil consumption, it's time to understand what are the underlying factors behind the problem. More often than not, excess oil consumption can easily be controlled with a few simple measures. Read Bagh: Environment Friendly Electric Three Wheelers to Hit the Roads in Bangladesh Non-marked Engine Oil Every engine from a simple VTEC to a V8 has specified engine oils. The companies tune the engine for specific types of engine oils. So it is important to ensure that the recommended oils are being used for the engine.  The specific oil type and in some cases, the oil brand are mentioned in the engine manual. Regular Oil Change This is another important factor that determines the oil consumption of the car. Every car engine requires a regular oil change. It helps to keep the internal components running and doesn’t clog up over time. Read How to Buy a Used Car in Bangladesh? It is generally recommended that the oil be changed every 5000 km interval. It can be more or less than that but this should be taken as the median. Engine Age An old engine will consume more oil – that’s a grave universal truth. For example, an engine that has run over 100,000 km will consume much more oil than say a 20,000 km running engine. This is mostly because of the wear and tear over the years. The best way to increase engine longevity is to regularly service the car. Damaged Gaskets and Piston Ring Gaskets are the caps that act as a sealant against leaks in different engine parts. On the other hand, the piston rings regulate the oil flow. In any case, where the gasket or the piston ring may be damaged, the oil will enter the combustion chamber and show signs as mentioned previously. So, it's important to get the gaskets and the piston rings serviced regularly. Read Highway Robbery Prevention Tips while Driving at Night Vacuum Issues The vacuum mechanism of a car controls the airflow within the car and its chambers. A faulty vacuum mechanism might allow the oil to leak into the vacuum chamber. This will set a chain reaction where the vacuum will eventually get clogged and restrict the airflow in the entire car. Driving Style Believe it or not, driving style may also influence how a car might perform on the oil front. People who love to drive fast with a higher rev count may very well see more oil usage than standard cars. In addition to these, other oil-related filters and sealing caps may play a role in high oil consumption as well as potential engine damage. Read The most popular car models in Bangladesh How to Reduce/Fix Oil Consumption in Cars So you know the signs and potential causes for oil leaks/ high oil consumption in your car. The question is, how do you fix it? Well, here’s how. Using Recommended Engine Oil Always stick to what's written in the manual. The best way to ensure that the engine is up and running is by using the correct engine oil. It will help to keep the engine in perfect condition and reduce the potential risk of high oil consumption. Changing Engine Oil at Regular Intervals This point cannot be stressed enough. It’s important to not only use the correct engine oil but also to change it at a regular interval. It ensures that carbon doesn’t build up over time in the engine and cause a potential oil leak. Read Best Ride Sharing Apps in Bangladesh Driving Responsibly Another useful way to conserve oil is to drive in Eco mode. Most modern cars regardless of brands have an Eco mode which greatly contributes to keeping the mileage high and oil consumption low. Repair the Faulty Engine Parts The last resort to high oil consumption is to fix the problematic engine parts. This step is generally reserved for old cars. Repairing engine parts won't make the car run like new but it will at least ensure that there isn’t any oil leakage from the car. Final Words High oil consumption in cars can be a huge problem. It not only reduces the mileage and overall performance of the car but also drives up the maintenance cost. It's uncommon to see oil consumption problems. The best way to combat the problem is by taking precautions. Once you use your car responsibly and take care of it, the chances of an oil leakage or exessive oil consumption in cars will become significantly low.   Read Vroom App: End-to-End Platform for Car, Automobile Related Services in Bangladesh

Bagh Eco Motors is bringing completely eco-friendly three-wheeler vehicles to Bangladesh. These cars are being made in the country. These vehicles will use the electric battery. However, there will be no batteries made of acid that is harmful to the environment. Combining solar and lithium batteries, the eco-friendly vehicle has been named ‘Bagh.’ Bagh Eco Motors has not just taken such an initiative out of business thinking. Their purpose is not just to do business. Moreover, they are working for the country, the environment, and the people. Here is what we know about electric three-wheelers in Bangladesh. Read Truck Lagbe: Story of a Successful Digital Trucking Startup in Bangladesh What is an Electric Three-Wheeler? An electric three-wheeler is a light electric vehicle. An electric three-wheeler is a battery-powered vehicle with three wheels. It is a low-speed vehicle and does not require a license to operate. Electric three-wheelers are increasingly becoming popular in many countries as they are an eco-friendly and economical mode of transportation. Electric three-wheelers are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Some are designed for carrying cargo, while others are meant for passenger transportation. They typically have a range of 20-30 miles on a single charge (however, it depends on the battery) and can reach speeds of up to 30 mph. How Does It Work? A rechargeable battery powers the engine, and the driver can charge the battery with a standard outlet or via a solar panel on the rooftop or trunk. When you are ready to ride, you press a button to kick off, then coast as far as you like. A braking system keeps you from sliding into things. If you want to turn left or right, just move the steering, and your vehicle will head in the direction you want. Read Uber Adds Auto-Rickshaws in Dhaka: Transportation Aggregation and Competition Advantages of Electric Three-Wheeler over Regular Three-Wheeler Vehicles Electric three-wheelers are different from regular ones in many aspects. In the following part of this article, we will be discussing some of the advantages of electric three-wheelers. These are just a few things to keep in mind when considering buying a new vehicle or planning on expanding your fleet. Cost of Ownership Like anything else, vehicles are subjected to wear and tear. A regular three-wheeler has a higher cost of ownership as it needs to be sent for repairs more often. On the other hand, electric 3 wheelers are much younger in their existence and have fewer moving parts compared to regular three-wheelers. Read Top 7 Truck Rental Apps in Bangladesh Environment Friendly Electric vehicles are usually seen to be sustainable because they are powered by electricity, a clean energy source. Besides that, these vehicles have been proven to have less impact on the environment than conventional three-wheelers. Since their power consumption levels are much lower and hence generate less emissions. Fuel Efficiency The lower maintenance and lower cost of ownership of electric three-wheelers mean that they are naturally more fuel-efficient than regular three-wheelers. As an effect, the fuel efficiency goes up, and so does their running cost. Noise level Electric three-wheelers are also more efficient in maintaining a quieter running noise level compared to regular 3 wheelers. The electric 3 wheelers are even more appealing as they can be fitted with a small motor that is as quiet as a regular scooter. The reduction in the noise level means that it will not disturb anyone and is friendly to both the rider and the people around them. Read Best Ride Sharing Apps in Bangladesh Steady Handling Electric three-wheelers are designed to have stable and steady handling due to their low center of gravity. The center of gravity is the point where the vehicle stands or, rather, from which the entire vehicle can be balanced vertically. Because of this, electric three-wheelers also require a lower turning radius than four-wheeled vehicles, so they can navigate through little streets easily. Low Maintenance Costs The maintenance costs of electric three-wheelers are less than regular three-wheelers because they don’t require frequent lubrication or maintenance as well as oil changes every month. The maintenance costs for electric three-wheelers are usually limited to replacing the tires and the brakes every once in a while. When and who will bring Electric Three-Wheeler to Bangladesh? Bagh Eco Motors is going to introduce a Bangladeshi-made electric three-wheeler vehicle. The vehicle is expected to be launched in April 2022. The parent company, Royal Bengal Battery, started its journey in 2013 by manufacturing sealed, maintenance-free VRLA gel batteries at Tongi TSS Complex. Now they are focusing on an eco-friendly three-wheeler. Read How to Choose a Motorbike Helmet in Bangladesh under TK 10000 in 2021 Expected features of Electric Three-Wheeler in Bangladesh Bagh two-wheeler motorbikes and auto rickshaws are the most modern, comfortable, and eco-friendly vehicles in terms of models and overall aspects of the present time.  The main feature of this vehicle is that it can be tracked from any place at any time with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). The three-wheelers will run on a combination of lithium batteries and solar. Lithium batteries work 30% better than acid batteries. Also, these are one-third the weight of an acid battery and charge at least 3 hours faster than an acid battery. This battery does not contain lead acid, so pollution will not occur. Royal charging stations have been set up in different parts of the country to facilitate easy charging. Besides, the three-wheelers will have a WiFi facility through Robi. There will also be a TV. Read The Most Popular Motorbike Models in Bangladesh The vehicles can run at maximum 45 km/hr and mileage per full charge is 90km. The three-wheelers are insured by the South Asia Insurance Company. As a result, the passengers of the three-wheeler will get compensation in case of death or damage due to an accident. Conclusion The electric three-wheelers from Bagh Eco Motors are ready to hit the road before Eid-ul-Fitr in April 2022. In addition, the country-made ‘Bagh’ four-wheeler cars, buses, and even double-decker buses will be made by ‘Bagh Eco Motors.’ An agreement has already been reached with foreign companies to manufacture these vehicles jointly.
