Gwalior, New Dunia Rep. The focus is on innovation in Swachh Survekshan 2022. Trial is being done continuously to convert the junk into a new vehicle from Jugaad. The Municipal Corporation has almost prepared the first electric vehicle from Jugaad by installing an electric motor in the Kandam vehicle. The trial of this innovation is currently going on. Experts are closely examining its ability to move. Along with this, it is also knowing at what speed the vehicle can carry how much weight.
The vehicle has been built on the PPP model. The cost is being borne by Pay & Clean Company. According to the information, this vehicle prepared from jugaad is also three times cheaper than normal tipper vehicles. Pay and Clean Company has been given the responsibility of keeping the streets of the city clean. The company operates road sweeping machines on the roads. The company has taken up the task of preparing tippers from CSR funds. The company has installed five batteries in the tipper vehicle. It is currently being tested by driving it on city roads. The trial vehicle is also being successful.
Expenditure is two and a half to three lakhs: According to the information received from the Municipal Corporation, the electric tipper vehicle comes between eight to nine lakh rupees, but by removing the engine and other accessories from the corporation’s conduit vehicle, the electric motor installed in it has been used. Apart from this, some more new batteries have been kept. About 2.5 to 3 lakh rupees have been spent on this innovation.
If the experiment is successful, more efforts will be made: The municipal corporation declares 15 to 20 vehicles as conduit every year. These vehicles are then sold at auction. The engine of most of these vehicles is exhausted. It is clear from the experiment, if their engine is replaced by an electric motor, then the number of tipper vehicles can increase.
Focus on these points in trial
– Will be run on garbage for one month. During this time the service of the vehicle will be observed.
How many units of electricity does this vehicle consume on a single charge.
How much garbage can the vehicle pick up at a time?
How many kilometers does the vehicle travel in one go?
– The shortcomings revealed in the trial will be removed.
Version-
