Introduction

We broadly define shared mobility as transportation services and resources that are shared among users, either concurrently or one after another. This includes public transit; micro-mobility (bike sharing, scooter sharing); automobile-based modes (carsharing, rides on demand, and micro-transit); and commute-based modes or ridesharing (carpooling and vanpooling).

How may we design an all weather, 9-seater (8+D) electric low footprint open vehicle for rural India with non-discriminating seating, which prevents overloading of passengers and enhance safety for both driver and passengers without compromising on loading capacity?

Objective of the Project
• All passengers and their belongings should be well contained inside the envelope of the vehicle.

• There should be uniform and comfortable seating with adequate legroom.

• The vehicle should provide protection in all weather conditions.

• The chassis should be foolproofing from any further illegal modifications that compromise the safety of users.

• Blurring the line between a passenger and a commercial vehicle.
