A three wheeler is a vehicle with three wheels, either "human or people-powered vehicles" (HPV or PPV or velomobiles) or motorized vehicles in the form of a motorcycle, ATV or automobile. Other names for three-wheelers include Trikes, Tricars and Cyclecars. The term Tricycle is used somewhat interchangeably, but the term three-wheeler is more often applied to motor vehicles.Many three-wheelers which exist in the form of motorcycle-based machines are often called trikes and often have the front single wheel and mechanics similar to that of a motorcycle and the rear axle similar to that of a car. Often such vehicles are owner–constructed using a portion of a rear–engine, rear–drive Volkswagen "Beetle" in combination with a motorcycle front end. Other trikes include "All Terrain Vehicles" (ATV) that are specially constructed for off road use. Three-wheeled automobiles can have either one wheel at the back and two at the front, (for example: Morgan Motor Company) or one wheel at the front and two at the back (for example: Reliant).Three-wheeler cars, usually microcars, are often built for economy reasons, or as was the case in the UK, to take advantage of tax advantages, or as in the US to take advantage of the lower safety regulations, they are being classed as motorcycles. As a result of their light construction and often relaxed pollution reqirements, leading to higher efficiency, three-wheeled cars are usually very economical to run.Over the years, the world has been witnessing fantabulous development in the sector of automobile industry. With their advanced engineering techniques, the major auto giants like Mercedes, Ford Motors, General Motors, Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Mitsubishi etc have come up with some of the most sophisticated vehicles that a human mind could have hardly imagined just a few years ago. The global automobile manufacturers have found huge potential markets in a number of developing countries. It is not only the cars,consumer vehicles and two wheelers that are sold in these various countries in large numbers, but the three wheeler market is also quite big in these nations.You will get to see innumerable three wheelers running on the roads of various Southeast Asian countries like India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Philippines, Nepal, and Bangladesh etc.There are a number of reasons that have resulted into the proliferation of the three wheelers in umpteen countries. Three wheelers are quite economical in terms of manufacturing and maintenance. They have also earned huge popularity due to their easy maneuvering capabilities through the narrow lanes that are prevalent in most of the developing countries.It is not that three wheelers are used only in the developing nations.

Electric Vehicle
Electric Bus
The battery electric vehicle, or BEV, is a type of electric vehicle that uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs. As with other electric vehicles, BEVs use electric motors and motor controllers instead of internal combustion engines for propulsion.
At 2008 fuel prices, battery powered buses are more economical than diesel or gasoline powered buses. The additional cost of the batteries is made up for by the low operating cost in the first half of the typical million to two million mile (three million kilometer) life of the bus.perates nine lectric buses, which have been in operation since 1992 and have carried 11.3 million passengers and covered a distance of 1.9 million miles (3.1×106 km). They were made locally by Advanced Vehicle Systems. Two of these buses were used for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.Wrightbus has a new a hybrid-electric driveline for the StreetCar RTV which has been developed in conjunction with the ISE Corporation of California and incorporates Siemens ELFA traction components and a Cummins ISL engine. The chassis is built to Wright Group specifications by Swiss trolleybus specialists Carosserie Hess and is powered by Valence Technology lithium phosphate batteries .Beginning in the summer of 2000, Hong Kong airport began operating a 16-passenger Mitsubishi Rosa electric shuttle bus, and in the fall of 2000, New York City began testing a 66-passenger battery-powered school bus, an all electric version of the Blue-Bird TC2000. A similar bus was operated in Napa Valley, California for 14 months ending in April, 2004.The 2008 Beijing Olympics used a fleet of 50 electric buses, which have a range of 130 km with the air conditioning on. They use Lithium-ion batteries, and consume about 1 kW·h/mi (0.62 kW·h/km; 2.2 MJ/km). The buses were designed by the Beijing Institute of Technology and built by the Jinghua Coach Co. Ltd. The batteries are replaced with fully charged ones at the recharging station to allow 24 hour operation of the buses.
