26 November 2020 – 3DOM, Inc. (“3DOM”), a Japan-based smart energy solutions provider, today announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Cosmos Global Resources Pte Ltd (“Cosmos”), to establish a joint venture company (“JVC”) to set up an electric vehicle assembly plant in Bangladesh.
In addition to the assembly of micro mobility electric vehicles in Bangladesh, the JVC between 3DOM and Cosmos also aims to own and operate a company to lease the electric vehicles for a ride-hailing service.
The JVC marks a major milestone in cooperation between companies from Japan and Bangladesh in the area of sustainability and renewable energy, and will help Bangladesh achieve the goal of eliminating CO2 emissions by replacing combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles. 3DOM’s battery technology should help make the electric vehicles more affordable.
“3DOM is delighted to have the opportunity to enter into this agreement with Cosmos,” said 3DOM’s CEO Masataka Matsumura. “Using 3DOM’s unique Lithium Ion Battery Technology for these electric vehicles will play an important role in helping Bangladesh move toward its goal of zero carbon emissions.”
