Plan cleared to allow plying of quadricycles: Sources

NEW DELHI: Quadricycles will now be able to ply on the city roads across the country as the Law Ministry has approved the Road Ministry's proposal allowing them to be used as public transport, according to sources.

Quadricycles are viewed by stakeholders as being safer than 3-wheelers (autorikshaws). They have fully enclosed structure with hard top and doors, although their maximum speed and engine capacity are lower than a small car.

The development is seen as good
 news for Bajaj Auto, which in
 2012 unveiled the quadricycle RE60
 powered by a 200 cc petrol engine.
