A catastrophic fire engulfed a factory in northern Vietnam, leading to the destruction of approximately 3,000 electric bikes and motorcycles. This incident took place in Lang Son City at the DK Vietnam-Japan Electric Vehicle Company’s facility on a Friday morning.
The inferno reportedly began around 7:00 am, unleashing thick plumes of smoke that billowed from the warehouse. Eyewitness accounts described multiple loud explosions that accompanied the blaze, heightening the urgency of the situation.
In addition to the electric bikes, more than 2,000 components intended for electric motorcycles succumbed to the flames. The fire initiated on the second level of the warehouse and rapidly spread to adjacent workshops and higher floors, causing extensive damage throughout the facility.
A representative from the company, who is also the spouse of its founder, acknowledged the fire but provided no further details regarding the event or the extent of the damages.
The DK Bike production site, which encompasses over 3,000 square meters, serves multiple functions, including manufacturing, assembly, parts storage, and showcasing completed vehicles. Local authorities have launched an investigation to determine the fire’s origin and circumstances.
DK Bike is a collaborative venture that focuses on the production of various types of bicycles and electric vehicles, exemplifying the growing industry of sustainable transportation in Vietnam.
