Tricycle runs on both petrol and gas
Harry noted that the vehicle offers a cost-effective solution for both urban and rural areas, contributing to a cleaner environment.
He said the dual-fuel tricycle runs on petrol and liquified gas, presenting an eco-friendly alternative to users.
The Egoras boss said that in addition to the multi-fuel functions of the vehicle, it also boasts a user-friendly design, promoting easy maintenance for operators.
Punch reports that Harry said the tricycle, which has since been deployed in some parts of Nigeria, stands out as a robust and reliable vehicle with impressive technical specs.
He said:
“With a robust 10 horsepower engine, it delivers a combination of strength and efficiency. The tricycle’s top speed of 60kmph further underscores its capability, offering users a swift and dependable mode of transportation.”
Harry said the vehicle had undergone strict testing to ensure safety and compliance with industry specifications, assuring users and pedestrians of secure and adequate transportation.
He revealed that the company remained dedicated to driving change in Nigeria’s transport sector, and the vehicle launch is a significant step to achieving the vision.
Nigeria begins to move to cleaner energy
Harry noted that the firm offers fleet management to help the owners manage their vehicles.
The development comes as the Nigerian government began moves to pilot the country to a cleaner alternative fuel source with many interventions and the government rolling out CNG-powered vehicles across the country.
One of Nigeria’s indigenous auto companies, Innoson Motors, released several CNG-powered buses as Nigeria removed petrol subsidies.
