With days to go before GPS tracking becomes mandatory for vehicles across Bangladesh, Wahyd Bangladesh Limited today launched LocomotePro, a vehicle intelligence platform built for local roads, local networks, and the local language.
From 1 August 2026, vehicles in Bangladesh are required to carry an approved GPS tracking device. For hundreds of thousands of operators and owners, that has meant a scramble for the cheapest box that ticks a box. LocomotePro is betting that the country wants more than a dot on a map.
“A tracker tells you where a vehicle is. LocomotePro tells you how it is being driven, what it is costing you, and what needs your attention today,” the company said at launch.
One platform, built for how Bangladesh actually runs
LocomotePro launches in two editions and one programme, so a national logistics operator and a single-car family are served by the same engine.
LocomotePro Fleet is the full transport management system for businesses: live tracking, dispatch and load matching, workshop and maintenance, driver management, and analytics. It is priced per vehicle per month, from ৳499, and the rate drops as the fleet grows.
LocomotePro Home is for private and family cars. It sits deliberately outside the compliance conversation. Private cars are not covered by the 1 August mandate, so LocomotePro Home is sold on safety and peace of mind: drive scores for a teenager or a hired driver, geofence alerts when a car leaves a set area, and route replay a parent can check from a phone. It starts at ৳9,999 a year with the device and installation included.
The platform is engineered for conditions that imported software often ignores. The app runs in Bangla first, works over 2G and 3G, and buffers trip data locally when a signal drops, syncing when coverage returns. Installations are open now in Dhaka and Chattogram, with the company aiming to confirm booking slots within 24 hours.
The part competitors cannot copy
LocomotePro’s sharpest edge is not a feature. It is freight.
Through the new Wahyd Vendor Programme, transport operators who carry loads for Wahyd get their tracking at a steep discount, and can have the hardware and installation waived entirely on an annual plan. The pitch is blunt: you do our work, so we do not charge you for the device.
That offer rests on a network already in motion. Wahyd counts 2,058 transport partners and 2,132 registered vehicles, has moved more than 14,000 orders, and serves 62 corporate clients across the textiles and ready-made garments sector. Its trucks run the Narayanganj, Chattogram, Narsingdi, Gazipur, and Mymensingh lanes daily. Competitors can cut prices on a tracker. None of them can hand a driver a return load.
For a vendor, the maths is direct: tracking that would otherwise be an added cost becomes close to free, in exchange for freight the operator wanted anyway.
Pricing that stops hiding
The company is also making a point of publishing its numbers rather than hiding fleet pricing behind a “contact us” wall. Fleet plans run from ৳499 per vehicle per month for live tracking, through a full TMS tier, up to fuel monitoring and deep telematics from ৳1,499 a month. The site carries interactive calculators so an operator can size a fleet plan or estimate fuel-saving payback before ever talking to a salesperson. All prices are quoted in Bangladeshi Taka and exclude VAT.
The first roughly 150 members of the LocomotePro Home waitlist will keep a founding price of ৳6,999 for their first year.
Availability
LocomotePro is available now across Bangladesh, with installation open in Dhaka and Chattogram and rolling out further. Bookings can be made through the LocomotePro website or on WhatsApp at +880 1891-446666.
