Locally made 375cc bikes now allowed on roads
The government is now allowing locally produced motorcycles up to 375cc for the roads.
The Road Transport and Highways Division yesterday issued a circular allowing registration of the bikes.
"From now, motorcycles up to 375cc can be registered," Sitangshu Shekhar Biswas, director (engineering) of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) told The Daily Star tonight.
Currently, bikes up to 165cc are allowed on the roads.
The move came at a time when a growing number of motorcycles is considered one of the major reasons behind the rise in road crashes and deaths.
The move comes after the home ministry on September 7 this year made a decision in this regard.
The circular will come into effect immediately.
