The HAN’ds On Eco Tuk won the 2-stroke auto-rickshaw makeover competition held by Enviu, a Rotterdam-based sustainability organization, for its low emissions and remarkable fuel efficiency. Designed by students at the HAN University of Applied Sciences, the HAN’ds On Eco Tuk saves up to 26 percent of energy, 53 percent on fuel costs and only costs around $200. By transforming the auto-rickshaw’s two-stroke engine into a hybrid, they’ll increase the earning power of drivers as well.

Yes,i think by achiving Hybrid Rickshaws in 2-stroke and 4- stroke engines would be a great achivement of the people of this Earth. May I be any help?
Great invention Dutch students. This is a challenge that you meet, good thing about this new kind of vehicle is the efficiency and really an environmental friendly kind of transportation. The interesting thing about the Space Shuttle is that once it has re-entered the atmosphere, the shuttle is for all intents and purposes a glider – they don't use the engines for thrust, and have to manually steer it to the destination, typically Canaveral, requiring a pilot of Herculean skill and nerves....

...about the future of the earth (so many of us...and using so much), I see a neat story like this. The world is full of teenagers like this who are trying to better things through their energy & their smarts. Love it!
