Summary: | Retrofitting is nowadays a buzz word, it means the addition of new technology or customization and features of older systems. Retrofitting is considered in most of the vehicles because in upcoming years all the transportation of vehicles will be electrically driven. Due to currently use of fossil fuels based on IC engines cannot be thrown out of the system. In a country like India, Auto rickshaw is mostly used as public transportation which can be retrofitted electrically. This retrofitted Auto rickshaw will have similar seating capacity and design as the conventional Auto rickshaw. The dynamics of auto rickshaw, e rickshaw, and retrofitted auto rickshaw has been studied out. Hence, the retrofitted vehicle can be light weighted and automized further. Due to this concept of reducing, recycling, and reusing can be implemented in this sector and that will be a huge benefit to the environment. This paper presents the feasibility study of retrofitting of auto rickshaw to e-rickshaw. |
