"Electric Rickshaw" To Be Introduced In Pakistan Soon

Earlier, E-Bikes were launched and test-drove in Pakistan for the first time. "Zar Motors" have planned to launch an "Electric Rickshaw" in Pakistan which will be available in the market soon. This Rickshaw has already been tested and drove by "Mr. Khawaja Ahmed Hassan", Advisor to CM Punjab at CM Office Lahore.

Electric vehicles do not require petrol or any other fuel to run since they have an electric engine powered by rechargeable batteries. This will be beneficial for rickshaw holders in terms of fuel price cost reduction as well as for the country in terms of reducing the fuel consumption and reducing the air pollution. As it will not release puffs of smoke into the air. There will be no rikshaw sound, thus noise pollution will also get reduced.

The Electric Rickshaws are bit different and elegant as compared to the traditional ones.

This E-Rickshaw will work on a simple principle of "Energy Conversion" i.e., sunlight will be converted into electrical energy and then electrical energy will be converted into mechanical energy which will ultimately power the rickshaw.

The initial cost of the vehicle may be high but the running cost will be lower. There is a possibility that government will launch E-Rickshaws under some "Rozgar Scheme". This technology can boost up the scheme providing more viable employment opportunities.

Electric Rickshaws will also eliminate the risk of LPG Rickshaws which were banned due to safety concerns.
