Electric rickshaws are becoming a popular alternative to auto rickshaws in some cities since they have lower fuel costs and require less human effort than pulled rickshaws. They use a brushless DC motor powered by lead acid or lithium-ion batteries. While e-rickshaws have benefits like being eco-friendly with no emissions, they also have challenges like consuming more electricity for charging and having a lower maximum speed than other vehicles. Proper infrastructure and support can help address issues and increase the viability of e-rickshaws as sustainable transportation.
Presentation e rickshaw
- 3. What is the rickshaw? A riksha or rickshaw is a kind of vehicle that has two or three wheels. They are usually pulled by a human but there are types that have been changed to be pulled by a bicycle or have their own motor
- 4. INTRODUCTION TO E-RICKSHAW Electric rickshaws (also known as e-rickshaws) have been becoming more popular in some cities since 2008 as an alternative to auto rickshaws and pulled rickshaws because of their low fuel cost, and less human effort compared to pulled rickshaws. They are being widely accepted as an alternative to petrol/diesel/CNG auto rickshaws.
- 5. HISTORY The electric automobile did not easily develop into viable means of transportation. Research waned from 1920-1960 until environmental issues of pollution and diminishing natural resources reawakened the need of a more environmentally friendly means of transportation. Technologies that support a reliable battery and weight of the needed number of batteries elevated the price of making an electric vehicle
- 6. MAJOR PARTS/COMPONENTS A)Electric Motor: Brush Less Direct Current (BLDC) B)Electronic Motor Controller: C)Battery: Set of four 12V deep cycle lead acid/Li-ion batteries E)Front Shock Absorbers: D)Differential: Differential is used in e-Rickshaws which is connected to the electric motor and rear wheels F)Brakes: G)Miscellaneous parts: Speedometer/Indicator, Front Indicator, Head light, Charger, left-right switch, Tyre etc.
- 7. WORKING The working of E-Rickshaw is based on DC motor, battery & suspension system different from conventional auto rickshaws. It uses a Brush Less DC motor ranging from 650-1400 Watts with a differential mechanism at rear wheels. The battery used is mostly Lead acid/Li-ion battery with a life of 6-12 months. Deep discharge/cycle batteries designed for EVs are mostly used.
- 8. Comparative Analysis Comparison between auto-rickshaw and e-rickshaw Vehicle Propulsion Technology Maximum speed (km/h) Maximum distance per refuel/recha rge (km) Specific Energy Consumption (kJ/passenger -km) Specific Energy cost (INR/ passengerkm) Specific CO2 emission (gm/passe nger -km) Autorickshaw SI Engine 60 230-260 362.4 0.62 23.556 E-rickshaw BLDC Motor 25 80-100 53.76 0.096 19.129
- 10. REASONS OF USING E-RICKSHAW Battery operated E-rickshaw offers series of benefits over other locally available transport modes, which attract urban passengers to avail it.
- 11. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS A) Eco-Friendly: Since these vehicles runs on electricity, it can never emit smoke. B) No Sound Pollution: The e-rickshaw produce less noise compared to vehicles which run on petrol and diesel. Since entire engine of the e-rickshaws runs with electricity of the battery which results in less noise. C) Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction: Air quality benefits from electric rickshaws can be attributed to a reduction in local air pollution compared with conventional diesel and petrol e- rickshaws.
- 12. MERITS OF e-RICKSHAW 1. Source of employment. 2. Affordable service for users. 3. Solving last mile issue. 4. Ease of access. 5. Green mode of transport. 6. Flexible service. 7. Best alternative for fuel vehicle
- 13. DEMERITS OF e-RICKSHAW 1. The sector is unorganized as there is no institutional setup. 2. Lack of infrastructure facilities. 3. Lack of financial support for the drivers, which results in lower revenue and lack of economic stability for the driver. 4. More electricity consumption as it needs to recharge daily. 5. Maximum speed is less than other forms of vehicles.
- 14. CHALLENGES During travel with the main stream traffic, the speed of the rest of the traffic will be restricted, as for the conventional vehicles the energy efficient speed has been much higher. They have been no any efforts made by the state authorities to provide complete infrastructural support to this service. Thus they stand beside the road and reduces the road space. The quality of e-rickshaw service associated with safety measures needs to be significantly improved to provide more safe and secure journey.
- 15. FUTURE SCOPE Feasibility study of Mass Transit system equipped with Electrical (also solar) energy which will state how more efficient and clean system can be. Design Charging Station like conventional fuel stations. Awareness of sustainable program among citizen to encourage people to use public transport and provide first and last mile connectivity. Roll out public transport based on renewable energy. Providing economic stability to drivers giving cheaper/subsidized loans, rent fixation, optimum fare structure, setting up local repair workshops, higher revenue through advertisement and social security under different schemes.
- 16. CONCLUSION The e-rickshaws are energy efficient than other forms of motorized public road transport vehicles in the country. Proper implementation of the e-rickshaws has the potential to address the issues of environmental pollution due to transportation as the specific CO2 emission for the e-rickshaw is much lower than other fueled vehicles. One of the major positive sides of e-rickshaws is that, it emits lower level of pollutants than other vehicles. But e-rickshaws consumes huge amount of electricity at the time of battery charging and creates traffic jam also.
