Three-wheelers have a long history in Europe and Asia as extremely durable and reliable passenger and delivery vehicles. There are a number of reasons that have resulted into the proliferation of the 3-wheelers in developing countries especially in South Asian countries. 3-wheelers are quite economical in terms of manufacturing and maintenance. They have also earned huge popularity due to their easy maneuvering capabilities. The inherent engine design of 3-wheeler with conventional fuels have recognized for lower fuel economy and higher emissions. Concerns about energy security, air quality and need for sustainable economic growth are making it imperative that all nations, especially developing countries, begin making an accelerated transition from fossil fuels to clean energy alternatives.
