The face of the Automobile Sector is changing around the world as we speak. Introduction of the “ridesharing” concept brought in by Ola and Uber has been nothing short of a revolution. There has been an exponential rise in the pursuit of electric vehicles since Tesla touched that field, and then there is a massive push for autonomous vehicles by Google and Apple.

In India itself, the fact that the Automobile Sector is changing is palpable; the Government has decided to boost ethanol blending into petroleum considering the benefit of farmers and reduction in the oil import. There has been a massive rise in demand for automobiles in rural India and the government is pushing for public transportation.

One of the biggest proofs that the Automobile Sector is changing in the country is the “e-Rickshaw”. This vehicle has managed to bring about huge changes in the lives of the drivers and commuters alike in spite of remaining outside the focus of government and big companies alike.

How the Automobile Sector is changing via e-Rickshaws

The “e-Rickshaw” is a small distance transporter that causes hardly any harm to the environment. As of now more than fifteen lakh battery powered “e-Rickshaw” runs the roads of India providing the general populace with cheap commute. The number fifteen lakh is significant as it is more than the total number of electric cars sold in China since the year 2011.

The “e-Rickshaw” revolution confirmed that the Automobile Sector is changing and managed to cause a mini revolution of its own without any support from higher authorities whatsoever.

These vehicles have replaced the auto-rickshaw and human puled rickshaw to quite an extent. This is largely attributed to the fact that the rickshaw pullers who switched to the electric one experienced a significant rise in income combined with lesser muscle effort.

The Automobile Sector is changing and the “e-Rickshaws” are laying a significant role in this change.
