Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra shared a video about an innovative invention which he said could find “global application”. The industrialist shared a clip of an electric multi-rider passenger vehicle which is suitable for congested places. The six seater cycle auto rickshaw is made by a young man from rural India.
Sharing a demonstrative video of the India-made vehicle, Mahindra on Tuesday wrote, “With just small design inputs, (cylindrical section for chassis @BosePratap) this device could find global application. A tour in the congested European” Tourism hub as ‘bus’? I have always been fascinated by rural transport innovations, where necessity is the mother of invention.”

The person in the video claimed that the vehicle costs Rs 12,000 and can run for 150 km on a single charge. He also claimed that the vehicle can be charged for just Rs 10.
The video, posted a few hours ago, has been viewed over 68,000 times on Twitter. The Internet is awash with innovation and some have even suggested security measures to turn it into a game changer. One user wrote, “It is a good idea for closed loops like zoo, park, corp complex, will not fit for normal traffic because of 1. turning radius, 2. centrifugal balance while turning, 3. suspension on uneven roads, 4. No luggage space, 5. Battery life when overloaded.”
Another user commented, “Innovation in mobility at its best and most efficient. Appropriate engineering. I am a fan of mild engineering. Somewhat over-engineered in previous years. Heavy on the pocket and environment. Kudos.” “
A third user wrote, “This is a wonderful invention for women in rural area where they travel very long for water.” A fourth expressed, “Cost-effective and environment-friendly..with proper support these rural inventions can make a big mark globally.”
