Sonalika develops world's cleanest hydro three wheeler vehicle

India's leading automobile makers Sonalika Group has developed world's cleanest three wheeler with improved I.C engine in technical collaballoration with Banaras Hindu University. The vehicle will run on hydrogen and leave behind nothing than a trail of water vapours disclosed sonalika group managing director sh Deepak Mittal in opening day of world hydrogen technology convention organised at India habitat centre. He said that the Sonalika Group and ministry of renewable energy - Govt of india has jointlty funded this pilot project which has been quite successful so far.

He said that the new version of the three wheeler will run on hydrogen and emit water only. He added that this three wheeler autombile is powered by hdrogen gas which will increase fuel efficiency by 25 percent without changes to its brake system. This three wheeler will run at the speed of around 50 k.m to 70 k.m per hour and can ply in sub zero temperature up to minus 30 degree celsius. Around 20 scientists and engineers of Sonalika Group and Banaras Hindu University have worked for 7 years to make this a viable project. The test ride of the vehicle has been conducted in presence of scientists and automobile experts which has been quite successful. He said that government should come forward to create infrastructure like hydro filling stations on pilot basis to provide fuel facility for such vehicles. He added that Sonalika Group is interested to run small batches of zero emission 20 three wheelers including some buses on hydrogen to promote the hydrogen vehicles in the country and generate awarness on hydro fuel as clean alternative fuels.

While giving the technical details of the vehicle, Mr Deepak Mittal told that the vehicle is powered by hydrogen stored in the trunk. Since the fuel is hydrogen the only exhaust coming out of the tailpipe is clean water and heat. On the road it gets the equivalent of 45 miles to a gallon. He called his company's new vehicle the future in transportation and added that while bio fuels are today, hydrogen is tomorrow.

He told that his company will develop develop affordable and efficient hydrogen-powered vehicles in all other categeories in near future and said that it would be completely hydrogen-driven fields.
