Staff Reporter, Dhaka : IPDC Finance PLC has taken a significant step in its sustainability journey by adding the BYD Sealion 6, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), to its official fleet. This initiative follows the installation of an EV charging station at IPDC’s corporate headquarters earlier this year, further reinforcing the organization’s commitment to environmentally responsible and future-focused business practices.

This collaboration between IPDC Finance PLC and BYD Bangladesh supports the broader vision of promoting cleaner and more fuel-efficient transportation options, contributing to the responsible use of fossil fuels and supporting Bangladesh’s gradual transition toward sustainable mobility. As a leading financial institution, IPDC continues to lead by example, integrating green innovations into its operations.

Speaking about the initiative, Rizwan Dawood Shams, Managing Director of IPDC Finance PLC, said, “At IPDC, sustainability is not just a pledge; it is a practice we actively pursue. Adding the BYD Sealion 6 PHEV to our fleet is a meaningful step toward improving fuel efficiency and reducing fossil fuel consumption. We hope this partnership with BYD Bangladesh encourages other organizations to make sustainable choices that benefit both people and the planet.

Fahmid Ferdows, Head of Sales, BYD Bangladesh, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership, “We are happy to collaborate with IPDC Finance PLC as they take this forward-looking step toward sustainable mobility. BYD’s mission is to accelerate the transition to eco-friendly transportation worldwide, and seeing institutions like IPDC adopt PHEV technology shows strong local commitment to this shared vision.”

By incorporating one of the world’s leading PHEV models into its fleet, IPDC demonstrates readiness to support Bangladesh’s evolving vehicle ecosystem with more fuel-efficient solutions. This initiative builds on IPDC’s earlier partnership with Mercedes-Benz Bangladesh and efforts to promote EV infrastructure, including the launch of an EV charging station in Gulshan.

IPDC Finance PLC remains committed to driving positive environmental impact through innovation, responsible business practices, and continued investment in eco-friendly technologies.
