Wonderful World of Scooters
The Zero Emission Burgman fuel cell scooter was officially unveiled in London by Suzuki Motor Corporation and Intelligent Energy ahead of scheduled fleet tests in the UK. The Burgman Fuel Cell Scooter is seen as the solution to help combat climate change and significantly reduce harmful carbon emissions.
The scooter is equipped with the latest version of Intelligent Energy’s unique and proprietary air-cooled, clean fuel cell power systems and is fuelled from a cylinder of hydrogen, which can be re-fuelled in a few minutes and gives a riding range of 350km comparable to a conventional Burgman scooter.
For the people who are unaware, tricycles and pedicabs are public means of transport for people who want to get to short distanced places. Apparently it is also a means of livelihood for most people in the Philippines but due to lack of discipline, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has banned them from plying major roads.
This is not actually a new ordinance. This is an ordinance implemented originally in 1990 but since the numbers of pedicab and tricycle operators have been swelling, the re-enactment of the said ordinance could very well help out the worsening traffic problems in the metropolis. Violators will have their vehicles impounded for 30 days.
