Electric and improved cycle rickshaw as a sustainable transport system for India
نویسنده
چکیده
Most cities in India have high air and noise pollution caused by transport vehicles, especially petrol/diesel-powered three-wheelers. An improved and electric cycle rickshaw can provide a nonpolluting and silent transport system for urban and rural areas of India. It can also provide largescale employment to millions of urban and rural poor. Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute has developed two types of rickshaws – improved pedal cycle rickshaw and motor-assisted pedal cycle rickshaw – the details of which are given in this article. It is shown that these rickshaws can provide a safe, environment-friendly, energy-efficient and cost-effective transport system in cities and towns of India. Commercialization, technology, social and policy issues are discussed for largescale introduction of these rickshaws.
