Introduction :
Conversion of Petrol three-wheelers to Electric Vehicles (EVs) or e-Tuk-Tuks. (ITB/CET/2210/92) In partnership with the Ministry of Transport, UNDP is supporting conversion of three wheelers to electric three wheelers as means for enhancing mobility for the overarching revival of SMEs and essential services, and, ultimately as a driver of low-carbon, inclusive, equitable development pathways within Sri Lanka. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Sri Lanka is currently developing a project to mainstream e-mobility through the conversion of 500,000 tuk-tuks to electric vehicles (EVs) or e-tuk-tuks over a 5year period. The proposed three phased project consists of an incubation phase, demonstration phase and an acceleration phase; the incubation phase will test conversion to e-tuk tuks, demonstration phase to support conversions and the acceleration phase to use the market forces for conversion through concessional financing and infrastructure development. This first phase of the project, the incubation phase, aims to support the conversion of 300 petrol three wheelers to electric three wheelers as a majority of the three-wheeler fleet is comprised of petrol three wheelers. The project will focus on converting Bajaj and TVS three wheelers in this stage as these models comprise of a sizable portion of petrol three wheelers in the market. The following criteria will be applicable in the selection of the three wheelers: under 10 years from the date of initial registration; should cover an average of 80-100 km per day; self-owned and financed owners of single three wheelers. All three wheelers converted should comply with the conditions and requirements stipulated by the Department of Motor Traffic: (https://www.dmt.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42&Itemid=159&lang=en ) This phase has been planned to minimize the risk of failure due to technological issues that might arise inherent to a particular technology, minimize the risk of delay in conversions due to limited capacity at suppliers’ plants and to test the performance of different technologies available in the market. The incubation phase will be used as an opportunity to the project stakeholders to test the different technologies in the market for energy efficiency (km/kWh), actual range per charge and functionality of safety features. These findings/learnings in the incubation phase will be used in designing the demonstration phase. Taking into consideration the above aspects, to create an initial demonstration effect in the Western Province and also to allow suppliers to work with a reasonable number of conversions, three locations have been identified for the incubation phase and are Pettah, Makumbura and Katunayaka. For each location 100 petrol three wheelers will be converted to electric three wheelers and the respective list of individual three-wheeler owners will be provided to the successful suppliers of the relevant locations. This phase aims to showcase conversions that have a daily range from 80-100 km per single charge and also charging through domestic outlets and commercial charging stations. The requirement is divided into three Lots in order to monitor the perceived running patterns of the three-wheelers selected in three different locations: LOT1 - Conversion of 100 Petrol three-wheelers to Electric Tuk-Tuks - PETTAH LOT2 - Conversion of 100 Petrol three-wheelers to Electric Tuk-Tuks - MAKUMBURA LOT3 - Conversion of 100 Petrol three-wheelers to Electric Tuk-Tuks - KATUNAYAKA Offers must be submitted directly in the system following this link: http://supplier.quantum.partneragencies.org using the profile you may have in the portal.
