MUVA Electric Rickshaw
A totally indigenous make of the country, MUVA electric swiped everyone off their feet in the Auto Show as they displayed this remarkable product. As per the firm’s representative, these rikshaws are totally made and assembled in Pakistan from scratch. We can’t believe that they are made in our very own LAHORE!
As you can see in the video, it’s not just an electric Rikshaw. It’s a whole new concept that can revolutionize the transport industry in Pakistan as we know it. Light commercial vehicles, a development program which was covered by MUVA which stands for Modular Utility Vehicle Architecture.
What’s so great about it? Lets us tell you.
As per the company, the vehicle is still under fine-tuning and going through extensive testing and development before its official launch to the market. Though they did reveal that the running cost is 7 TIMES LESS as compared to normal rikshaws.
It’s an ultra-light commercial EV (electric vehicle), that is good for three passengers and a driver. Along with that, it has a maximum loading capacity of 300kgs and a crib weight of 450 kgs.
The company is also looking forward to operating via a ride-hailing service which brings HUGE potential to an already promising industry. In this model, the driver would be able to mobilize these rickshaws through the mobile app.
Such developments in the industry are something that should be promoted and pushed forward by the Government as well. We sure know that we all are SUPER EXCITED about this and can’t wait for this made in Lahore Rikshaw to hit the roads.
