Adopting electric vehicles (EVs) represents a transformative step forward from an environmental perspective. Eco-friendly electric mobility vehicles offer a sustainable alternative to gasoline and diesel vehicles, especially as fuel prices approach Rs 100 per liter. By choosing an electric rickshaw, you align yourself with a forward-thinking vision for the future, placing yourself among the “smartest people on the globe.” This choice not only helps create a significant positive impact on the environment but also allows you to save money in the long run.

 While electric cars present a smarter choice over traditional fuel vehicles in many aspects, they do come with certain challenges, particularly regarding long-distance travel and safety. However, battery rickshaws are specifically designed for defined purposes, making them ideal for short-range use. Hyderabad-based Adapt Motors has developed two exceptional models: the Sweekar (Passenger Auto) and Sweekar-L (Electric Load Puller Auto). These vehicles serve as intelligent alternatives to diesel and petrol autos, effectively addressing 80% of the needs in this segment.

 Extensive research by Adapt Motors revealed that passenger autos are predominantly used for short commutes along fixed routes, with daily distances typically not exceeding 100 km. In response, they launched the Sweekar Passenger E-Rickshaw, which offers a mileage of 100 km with an overnight charging time of just 5 to 6 hours. This convenient rechargeable battery technology allows drivers to easily plug in their vehicles at night and operate throughout the day without interruptions.

 Electric cargo autos also cater to specific market demands. They are increasingly utilized by appliance stores, hardware stores, and restaurants to deliver goods from central kitchens to various outlets. The Sweekar-L, with a load capacity of 500 kg, provides the same impressive 100 km mileage with only 5 to 6 hours of charging. This performance meets the needs of businesses while offering a better return on investment, costing just 40 paisa per kilometer.

 For both the Passenger E-Rickshaw and Electric Cargo Auto, if the daily driving range exceeds 100 km, owners can take advantage of lunch breaks and short intervals between rides to recharge their vehicles. Additionally, the maintenance of electric autos is straightforward—drivers only need to check and replace the distilled water once a month.

 With the rise of battery manufacturing technologies, the market for e mobility vehicles continues to grow. Many customers are turning to electric autos as an excellent alternative to traditional fuel vehicles, finding them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This shift towards electric mobility technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a cleaner, greener future.

Recent research by Peter Lilienthal from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory reveals a compelling opportunity: transitioning from diesel and petrol vehicles to electric mobility vehicles could lead to a remarkable 42% reduction in national average CO2 emissions. Despite the excitement surrounding the EV segment, many leading car brands have found it challenging to penetrate the Indian market, as the shift from traditional fuel vehicles to electric rickshaws and other EVs has not progressed as swiftly as anticipated. In contrast, e-bikes, battery rickshaws, e-cargos, and other commercial electric vehicles are rapidly gaining traction, significantly reducing fuel costs and ultimately lowering overall product prices.

In this pivotal transformation, Hyderabad-based Adapt Motors is leading the charge by introducing a substantial number of “Make in India” e-rickshaws to the roads. Thousands of passenger e rickshaws are now in commercial use across Telangana, facilitating efficient passenger transport. Not only in Hyderabad, but our electric auto rickshaws are also positively impacting remote areas throughout South India due to their ease of operation and low cost per kilometer. In metropolitan areas, these electric vehicles provide a silent, pollution-free mode of transport, allowing urban dwellers to breathe cleaner air and contributing to a greener environment.

Passengers in cities are expressing their appreciation for the eco-friendly EVs we provide, using them as inspiration to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and eliminate environmentally hazardous products from their daily routines. Meanwhile, rural users are finding practical solutions to the challenge of limited access to petrol stations.

 Mr. Madhukar Reddy, one of the key founders of Adapt Motors, expressed excitement at being among the winners. He emphasized the company’s commitment to research and development and revealed plans to launch a flagship solar-powered battery rickshaw with battery backup soon. This upcoming model will allow users to run the vehicle on solar energy during the day while reserving battery power for nighttime use, effectively maximizing its utility for commercial applications. Mr. Reddy highlighted that future e mobility vehicles will incorporate similar dual-function capabilities, setting Adapt Motors apart in the competitive landscape of electric mobility.

Founded in 2014, we set out with a clear mission: to create a greener, cleaner planet by introducing electric mobility vehicles to combat pollution. At that time, the streets were filled with thousands of diesel and petrol vehicles, releasing harmful emissions that severely degraded air quality. Adapt Motors was born with a singular focus: to tackle this environmental crisis and eliminate pollution.

 We understood the enormity of the challenge ahead. We chose a difficult path, driven by our passion and commitment to our mission of removing pollution-causing vehicles from our roads, allowing people to breathe easier. While we had ambitious plans to explore various markets, we initially focused on the electric rickshaw segment due to its affordability and ease of adoption.

 When we launched our first passenger e-rickshaw, we faced numerous obstacles, including skepticism from the public regarding the sustainability and reliability of electric mobility technology. Awareness was low, and acceptance was slow as the market for electric mobility vehicles in India was still in its infancy.

 To shift perceptions, we pivoted our strategy to prioritize public education on the benefits of e-mobility vehicles for both individuals and the environment. We engaged the community through workshops, trial runs, and vehicle displays across Hyderabad. Despite being a startup with limited funds, we invested in television and print media to amplify our awareness campaign. Our commitment to our vision kept us motivated, even during challenging times with minimal sales.

 Gradually, our efforts began to bear fruit. We generated excitement in the market, and by our second year, we had hundreds of battery rickshaws on the roads, with customer satisfaction soaring due to their performance, mileage, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional vehicles. Our electric rickshaws, powered by advanced rechargeable battery technology, delivered 100 km on just a 4 to 5-hour charge and quickly gained a reputation for reliability. As one of the electric auto rickshaw manufacturers in Hyderabad, we ensured that our focus on battery manufacturing provided high-quality solutions for our vehicles. Positive word-of-mouth spread rapidly, leading to significant orders from NGOs, large organizations, and government bodies across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

 To ensure accessibility to spare parts, we established over 22 dealerships throughout South India, rapidly positioning ourselves as a leading manufacturer of electric mobility vehicles in the region. Our commitment to customized e-rickshaws allows us to meet diverse customer needs effectively. Our rising popularity earned us a spot in Telangana’s esteemed T-HUB, putting us in the spotlight and enabling us to win several prestigious awards. Today, we proudly supply electric autos to various government initiatives, further solidifying our status among the leading electric vehicle manufacturers in India.

 Through relentless dedication and a passion for sustainability, we are thrilled to see thousands of our electric rickshaws on the road, contributing zero pollution to the environment. Our commitment has established us as one of the leading EV manufacturers in India, and we are determined to become the top electric vehicle producer in India in the near future.
