The government has allowed ‘quadricycles’ to ply on roads as public transport within city limits. Quadricycles are safer than 3-wheelers as they have fully-enclosed body structure with hard top and doors. But their maximum speed limit and engine capacity are lower than that of a small car. As an identification symbol “Q” will be prominently displayed on the body of these quadricyles. The development is seen as good news for auto major Bajaj Auto which last year had unveiled the quadricycle codenamed RE60, which is powered by a 200 cc petrol engine with a top speed of 70 kilometre per hour and with a mileage of 35 kilometre per litre. Quadricycles will be recommended for registration under commercial transport category for intra-city movement within the municipal limits only and these vehicles will be permitted to be driven only by licensed driver after due registration.
