Audi’s typical Indian rickshaw will be made with electric technology! : Okezone Automotive

COMPANY German automaker Audi has prepared a new model of electric Tuk-Tuk in India. Not only use battery, Tuk-Tuk was also dressed to be attractive.

This plan is not just a fiction. Because Audi already has the power to dress the traditional vehicle through German-Indian startup Nunam.

Gear Junkie mentioned that Nunam provided funds to a Tuk-Tuk manufacturer in India. Help was given for Nunam to upgrade the Tuk-Tuks. Of course with the help of technology from Audi.

Cooperation is indeed very important to Audi. The reason is that the existence of the Tuk-Tuk will come in handy for used batteries from electric cars made by the car company based in Ingolstadt, Germany.

“Electric car batteries are manufactured for a long period of time. Even when they have exceeded their lifespan, the battery can still produce power. This condition is very useful for vehicles that require short distances and low horsepower, like Tuk-Tuks,” said Prodio Chatterjee, Nunam Co.-Founders.

This year, Nunam plans to manufacture three electric Tuk-Tuks with Audi’s signature electric technology, the e-tron, in India.

The three electric tuk-tuks will then be used in several pilot projects to help facilitate women’s businesses in the country. Since most of India’s power grid runs on coal, Nunam will also provide solar charging.

The solar panels will charge another e-tron battery during the day and transmit this energy to the electric Tuk-Tuk at night.

“We want to get the full potential out of every used battery before it’s recycled,” he said.
