A huge fire at a factory in northern Vietnam destroyed 3,000 electric bikes and motorbikes Friday, state media said. Thick smoke rose from a warehouse belonging to the DK Vietnam-Japan Electric Vehicle Company in Lang Son City after the fire reportedly broke out around 7:00 am on Friday. The fire started on the second floor of the parts warehouse and spread to other floors and adjacent workshops, according to state-owned VTV. The DK Bike electric vehicle production facility spans over 3,000 square metres (32,300 square feet) and includes areas for production, assembly, parts and a showroom for finished vehicles. The company specialises in manufacturing bicycles, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and 50cc small-displacement motorcycles.
