    It is a very invention and introduction which is launched by David Peris company joining hands with USAID. The number of threewheelers which are being operated with fossil fuel are countless. The poisonous gases being emitted by such threewheelers are also remarkable and countless.Further the air pollution as well as the sound pollution taking place through threewheeler running is also a great environmental hazard.Thus the use of electric threewheeler wil be a some sort of remedy for eliminating the present fuel issue

    India Need these kinds of 3 wheelers very very very badly

    Three wheelers in India are mostly powered by CNG. CNG is cheaper than petrol but give the same fuel efficiency. They also pollute less. All the countries are now focussing on clean energy and this is a good initiative. Sri Lanka always had a wide range of vehicles and our Mechanics are very knowledgeable. Sadly we missed out on bringing in the outsourced assembly units of popular brands to our country. Science and technology is the key to move forward.

    Won't make a difference - no more 3 wheeler rides for me. People should take that bold step and eliminate 3 wheelers. 3 wheelers are a sign of a third world country!

    Kanjana, three cheers, very encouraging initiative, let's see a transformation of electric Wheelers and cars soon, once this is accomplished, dependence on fuel will vanish.

    No three wheelers in India are electric , so you would think the Indians would order for the Sri Lankan made electric three wheelers. Even though nearly 50% of the Indian households DO NOT HAVE TOILETS still Indian arrogance would not permit it to buy Sri Lankan technology.

    What is the cost per km? It is much higher than the petrol equivalent. Also starts with a much higher purchase price. Therefore useless for anyone trying to earn some money. Maybe ideal as transport for ministers!

    Dependence on fossil fuel should be eliminated by moving to electric vehicles, so that the economies are not hit hard with rising oil prices.

    Daniel. Read the news properly. Do you know the meaning of technology? This is not new tech it's a made in India Bajaj three wheeler converted to electric vehicle. Thanks for your concern about how Indian shit, don't think a lot about shit. Your brain will work like shit.

    In practical where these can be recharged we have power cuts too

    L De Silva Wednesday, 17 August 2022 06:49 AM

    Elimination of 3 wheelers altogether and raising the lifestyle of these people should be the key. These are not solutions! Just bandages to existing problems in society. a skilled and unskilled workforce of a country made to depend on 3 wheels!! Shameful!!

    Finally, a great viable idea. I would not ride in one those death traps some company trying to sell as all electric cars.
