More about the Concepts
These innovative concepts are crafted to redefine urban mobility. For instance the electric three-wheeler concept designed by Hyundai Motor, boldly reimagines India’s ubiquitous motor rickshaw, transforming it into a versatile and eco-friendly vehicle that can serve not only as a people mover but also as an efficient logistics carrier or a rapid-response emergency vehicle. This innovative approach to mobility not only connects communities and livelihoods but also champions accessibility and inclusivity with a foldable seat for wheelchair users. Its compact size and manoeuvrability, enables the electric three wheeler Concept to navigate narrow streets effectively. The vehicle’s body is adjustable, allowing it to be lifted to navigate waterlogged streets during the heavy rains of the monsoon season.
The proposed partnership, is showcased at the TVS pavilion, Hall No 14, Bharat Mandapam. The exciting and very unique physical concepts are on display at the Hyundai pavilion Hall 4, H4-01, Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
