Green Goes the Auto

The humble Indian auto-rickshaw may soon be reborn in a smart, fuel-conserving avatar. The trigger: A Dutch environmentalist called Stef van Dongen, who took a few too many rides in rickety, smoke belching three-wheelers on a trip to India. Shaken and stirred, he made it his mission to build a better, cleaner model of the auto-rickshaw for Indians.
