Frequently Asked Questions
The massive populations of China and India and the mounting middle-class population in these countries, as well as booming automotive sector scenarios in both countries, are anticipated to have a bright future for the adoption of three-wheeler vehicles. These countries are the hub for various local automakers, which are focusing on the development of a three-wheeler vehicle, most commonly known as auto-rickshaw/ tuk-tuk. Furthermore, China is the largest producer of passenger cars across the globe; also, India, Japan, and South Korea are some of the primary vehicle manufacturing countries. The continuous economic growth in developed and developing countries such as India and China, coupled with the presence of a high number of manufacturers in countries such as China and Japan, has facilitated the rapid growth of the automotive industry in this region
The key players in the market are focusing on investing in the production of three wheelers in African and South American countries. There have been prominent strategies made in recent years by automakers to increase the usage of three wheelers in these regions. For instance, in August 2016, Lohia Auto Industries entered Africa with three wheeler operated on diesel. A reduction in organized public transport systems has led to rapid growth in non-conventional means of public transport, initially provided by minibuses and shared taxi/vans, and more recently by commercial three-wheelers. Unlike cities in South and East Asia, ownership and use of motorized and electric three-wheelers as a personalized vehicle is extremely small in sub-Saharan cities
The three-wheeler passenger carrier segment dominates the global three-wheeler market as it is one of the cheapest transport vehicles that can be afforded by various private transport operators and by individuals whose earning is from transport jobs. Asian countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal and African countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Kenya accounted for more than 90% of the exports in the Indian three-wheeler PC market. During 2018, the ICE-powered three-wheelers segment accounted for the significant shares and dominated the three-wheel passenger carrier market due to the increased usage of diesel, gasoline, bio-diesel, and compressed natural gas/liquefied petroleum gas (CNG/LPG) to power the engine in developing nations. In Asia-Pacific, India is the major contributor to the three-wheeler passenger carrier market
