Description

A three-wheeled open cabin vehicle commonly employed as a taxi throughout Asia. Originally based on an Italian design, they are now manufactured in most developing Asian countries. Cheap and efficient transportation, most now run on natural gas and are relatively environmentally friendly.

PRIMAL Assessment

Although only designed to seat three on the passenger seat the tuk-tuk has been known to accommodate entire families. The open-air design can be a disadvantage in heavily polluted traffic, and the lack of safety belts makes it a dubious choice for high-speed chases.
