This electric car is almost silent. On the other hand, its internal ventilation system and fan are designed in such a way that the indoor temperature never exceeds 32 degrees Celsius. Even taxi passengers will get unlimited internet service while stuck in traffic.

Imagine a transport that is environmentally friendly; So that even if there is no air-conditioning system, it does not feel hot; So that you feel safer than other vehicles. What if you don't even have to spend a fortune on such a transport?

Such a transport is going to be launched soon. The country's first electric three-wheeler 'Tiger Eco Taxi' will go into production in July.

Tiger Motors is bringing the three-wheeler to the market. They will start selling in the first week of July

Kazi Jasimul Islam Bappi, owner of Bagh Motors, said, "We have set up a factory in Gazipur and will go into production this July." He also mentioned that some machinery will come from China in the coming weeks. They will be installed throughout the month of June.

He said the current factory capacity is 5,000 units per month.

In addition, the country's first electric three-wheeler tiger eco-taxi was allowed to run on the road. In March, the vehicle was allowed to run on the road by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA).

The price of this safe car made with advanced technology is 6 lakh 25 thousand taka, said Bappi.

He also said that a ride-sharing application made only for Tiger Eco Taxi is being considered.

All vehicles made by Tiger Motors will be subject to an ecosystem designed by the company so that they can accommodate all three-wheelers.

Currently, the car has two models. One has a capacity of 1500 watts and the other has a capacity of 1600 watts.


Security has been given priority

Tiger Eco Taxi gets government approval to run on the road after passing BRTA rigorous testing and screening; Where most other such vehicles are considered illegal.

Although getting government approval was not easy. It takes about two years for the company to get approval.

Malik Bappi said, "We manufactured 11 vehicles in April 2020. Since then we have been trying to get government approval for the vehicles to run on the road. We finally got the approval in March."

Bappi said the eco-friendly dual power-battery and solar-powered three-wheeler have been developed as a comfortable option for passengers, ensuring their safety.

One of the safety features of the car is the 'panic button' attached to the passenger seat. Pressing this button will immediately reduce the speed of the car to five kilometers per hour.

Then the car will be idle for twenty minutes. At the same time this button is able to alert the authorities. The button will send a signal to the control room made for the car; So that the authorities can disable the effectiveness of the taxi.

The three-wheeler also has a security camera; Which will record and store all videos on a central server. Also, there is embedded real-time GPS tracking system.

Bappi said they have developed a monitoring system that will show the real-time location of the three-wheeler. They will see the details of its maintenance through a mobile application.

Regarding the construction of the car, Bappi said that they used high-grade steel which is usually used for large vehicles. It has been used to ensure the durability and durability of the vehicle.

In addition, the Tiger Eco Taxi will have larger wheels than ordinary CNG-powered three-wheelers and human-wheelers. There will also be a hydraulic braking system with anti-lock brake system (ABS).

This eco-friendly car will use lithium-ion batteries.

The batteries currently used in such vehicles are made of lead and acid, which is harmful to the environment. Bappi also mentioned that these do not last for more than six months.

Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, are environmentally friendly and last about seven years, he said.

A 460 watt solar panel used in a car can save up to 40 percent charge during the day. As a result, the car will be able to go an additional 40 kilometers.

The car has many more features including dashboard monitoring system, anti-theft technology and speed monitoring.


Go comfortable

The three-wheelers currently running on the country's roads have two major drawbacks. Vehicles make loud noises as well as they are uncomfortably hot.

Emphasis has been placed on tackling these two issues in Tiger Eco Taxi.

This electric car is almost silent. On the other hand, its internal ventilation system and fan are designed in such a way that the indoor temperature never exceeds 32 degrees Celsius.

Even taxi passengers will get unlimited internet service while stuck in traffic. There is also a tablet for passengers, which can be used for entertainment or official work.

If a passenger's phone or laptop runs out of battery, they also have a charger cabinet.

Bappi said that they are thinking of a ride sharing application to make the Tiger Eco Taxi available to everyone. However, considering the demand and the opportunity to create an app, the next step will be to create an app.

"We plan to use the same color for this easybike, even if it runs in different areas or zones," he said.


Low cost travel

Tiger eco taxis can be a relief for passengers where the cost of other modes of transportation is on the rise.

Taxis cost less to travel. It can cost less than Rs 1.33 per kilometer. A 1500 watt car can run 90 kilometers on a full charge. The cost of the driver is 120 rupees.

The 1600 watt car can go 60 kilometers.

Tiger Motors has developed a fast charging technology for charging. The car's 60 volt battery takes only 15 minutes to fully charge.

Soon they will add a motion-charging system to the car. This will automatically charge the battery while the car is running.

Bappi said many of the existing battery-powered easybikes are being charged using illegal connections, but there is no chance of doing so in the case of eco-taxis.

"It can only be charged at the charging point we created. A microchip with artificial intelligence (AI) has been installed in the charging port. The port will be opened via a mobile application. Charging will start as soon as the vehicle owner gives instructions."

He mentioned that the charge will start only after paying the bill digitally for each charging session.

He said a battery bank would be set up to automatically charge the car at night if the demand for electricity was low.

"All our transactions will be done digitally and we have already reached agreements with 49 banks in this regard," Bappi said.

Not bad for £5k i guess.... some of the features are quiet amazing at this price.

Lets see how things pan out. Hopefully there will be a good amount of value addition in country and there is a good uptake.

We always think that cars are the only way forward.... three wheelers are really interesting proposition and I really hope

This is better than the disastrous unsafe TATA nano 🤣

Why the article has Rs (Rupees) and not TK (Taka) ? The article was written in India ?
 
On the other hand, its internal ventilation system and fan are designed in such a way that the indoor temperature never exceeds 32 degrees Celsius.

32 degrees is still hot, and I wonder whether this was tested outdoors or in a factory environment considering these will be baking under the sun for many hours at a temperature of around 30 degrees.

Just wondering if the small battery and motor is capable of cooling under those conditions.

I think they were trying to be realistic considering battery capacity. 32 degree is not comfortable but bearable.
 
The article is in bangla, when you translate it in chrome it shows taka as rupee for some reason

Maybe because west bengalis say taka instead of rupee and chrome adopted it
Which means there's an issue in localization, should be entered as a bug in the defect tracking system !

People from West Bengal, Bihar, Assam, Odisha call money (₹) as Taka.
