Battery-operated three-wheelers also known as e-rickshaws have recently taken the markets by storm.  Their manufacturers claim that they are a step towards a greener planet as they are eco-friendly, opposed to their counterparts; conventional vehicles which run on some kind of fuel such as petrol or diesel. While these claims are hard to stand by, several big names in the industry have stood firmly to these norms. One such is SODYCO.

SODYCO is an electric tricycle brand who promises a battery-operated, eco-friendly solution as a business vehicle. As pioneers, we have put intensive research behind what makes our e-rickshaws eco-friendly and curated a list for your understanding.

Let’s get started with why r-rickshaws are considered eco-friendly :-

1. Zero Emissions

While the majority of vehicles, especially the public ones, operate on combustion of a fuel such as  petrol or diesel, their emissions cause air pollution. One major advantage of e-rickshaws is that since it operates on rechargeable batteries it does not pollute the environment and cause pollution. Data collected by Follow Green Living, reveals that auto-rickshaws run only at 15-20 km/hr speed thus producing greater pollution as they are designed to run efficiently at 40-45 km/hr. The pollution is further increased due to the fact that they continuously have to run in stop/start mode. The data also represents that on an average these auto-rickshaws travel about 50-60 km during the day. According to this data, an electric rickshaw which is designed to run 60-80 km per charge at speeds of between 25-40 km/hr would serve as an excellent substitute for these auto-rickshaws.

 

2. Soundless

E-rickshaws are not only advantageous to combat air pollution but also their soundless nature results in no noise pollution occurring from the vehicle. E-rickshaw has multifaceted features which result in little to no pollution from the vehicle, making it an ideal mode of transport for all.

 

3. Battery-Operated

As mentioned before, e-rickshaws are battery operated. Along with resulting in zero emissions  and being soundless, e-rickshaw batteries are also long lasting and recyclable.  These batteries can be 100% recycled thus, solving the problem of disposing of such batteries. Additionally, SODYCO Batteries get charged quickly in a short span of time, further solidifying the point of their eco-friendliness.

Conclusion

While these benefits may sound ordinary on the surface level, their advantages go deeper than that. SODYCO has been committed to creating vehicle solutions for a greener and safer planet Earth and our electric rickshaw is just the proof of that!  It won’t be long till we see e-rickshaws replacing our usual auto rickshaws on the Indian Streets.
