Lohia Auto Industries
has launched the Humrahi, an eco-friendly electric rickshaw (e-rickshaw) for
passengers and cargo at the Auto Expo 2014. Lohia Auto is the first and only Indian
company to pioneer into manufacturing of electric vehicles in the country and
equipped with special EV-grade batteries, these vehicles are not only
cost-effective but eco-friendly.
Apart from
the good looks, which include a beautiful interior, choice of attractive colors,
custom fittings and exceptional finish, these e-rickshaws can accommodate four
passengers and are low-maintenance and easy to operate.
While these
e-rickshaws will offer an affordable mode of transport to passengers, these
will also provide a great investment opportunity to drivers. Priced between Rs 1 Lac to 1.5 Lac these rickshaws
will cost much less than the traditional auto-rickshaws and battery-pulled
three-wheelers.
Speaking at
the launch, Chief Executive Officer
of Lohia Auto Ayush Lohia said: “Aakhir
kab tak insaan insaan ko kheenchega- Reaching out to even novice drivers, our
electric rickshaws are designed to make it easy for anyone to drive and even
easier to maintain. It offers a great investment opportunity and an even better
employment tool.”
“There's
in-built area for advertisement that will help generate extra revenue. Also,
our e-rickshaws are not only good for the environment but for your pocket too.
It's a great revenue-generation model, as these vehicles cut down costs and
bump up revenue. Company planning to invest 30 to 40 cr in next 2 year.” he
added.
