Green Taxi - Solution for the inner City


In the center of every city of South Asia, gas-driven Rickshaws are see.These  Rickshaws  are prohibited because of their noise and their pollution. By combining an electric drive-train, which is supposed to be funded by the government, with a network of solar filling stations within the city, Taxi Green provides a clean and green solution for the inner city. It can reach up to 300km on a single fill, which makes it use able for one day of driving at a top speed of 30km/h. The design of the vehicle takes its clues from old Rickshaws and their history in the last century. In order to make it as simple as possible, the whole electronic system is limited to the front part of the vehicle. The battery is located beneath the passenger seat, as well as a small luggage compartment, which can be locked from inside the cabin only. As we know that there is a lot of rain in Mumbai, the cabin can be partially closed on the sides by pulling out a canvas cover. When there is good weather, the roof of the vehicle can be opened to enjoy the drive.
