Most autorickshaws run on diesel and hence contribute to the rising pollution in cities. A company called RJMS-EV is trying popularise electricity-powered auto rickshaws, which cut down on the pollution. The E-rickshaws or ElecRics also use solar power and are said to have zero emission. ElecRics operate on lithium batteries which last for 6 years. They can run for 110 km on a single charge of five hours. They also come with overhead solar panels that generate power for indicators and headlights.
