Millbrook: A solar-powered auto-rickshaw - Tuk-Tuk - an initiative of an Indian-origin engineer Naveen Rabelli, turned many heads at Low Carbon Vehicle Exhibition being held in the UK.
The refurbished Tuk Tuk , originally a basic auto-rickshaw, was made fuel-free, solar operated and fully electric by Mr Rabelli, an engineer from Hyderabad. He designed the Tuk-Tuk with the help of small fuel efficient companies in India.
Top car makers and participants at the exhibition in Millbrook in England were amazed by a trendy looking red-and-yellow stunner Tuk-Tuk. Many from Germany and Switzerland have shown interest in purchasing the Tuk-Tuk to use the model for future vehicles.
Rabelli, 35, drove for over 14,000 kms on Tuk-Tuk from India to London to create awareness of alternative mobility solutions for passenger vehicles using renewable energy.
In February, Naveen Rabelli set off on his journey from India to the UK to spread the message on renewable energy and a zero pollution travel.
His budget was as low as 5 Euros a day; he even slept inside his Tuk-Tuk during his halts in different countries. His self-modified tuk-tuk is fitted with a bed, a seat for a co-passenger, a cupboard with food donated by people and a solar-powered cooker.
