Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has shared a video about an innovative invention that he said could find “global application”. The manufacturer shared a clip of an electric multi-passenger vehicle that is suitable for crowded places. A six-seater cycle auto-rickshaw has been built by a young man from rural India.

Sharing a demonstration video of the Indian-made vehicle, Mahindra wrote on Tuesday, “With only small design inputs, (cylindrical parts for chassis @BosePratap?) this device could find global application. Crowded in Europe Tourist centers as tour ‘buses’? I am always impressed by the innovations in rural transport, where necessity is the mother of invention.”

Suspension, 4. No luggage space, 5. Battery capacity at high load.”

Another user commented, “Innovation in mobility at it’s best and most efficient. Proper engineering. I’m a fan of light engineering. Been done with over engineered ones in the past years. Heavy on pocket and environment.”
