Campaign ‘Dar-Es-Salaam TukTuks’
Electrification of informal transport services in developing countries using the example of TukTuks in Dar es Salaam
The campaign is the basis of a survey of demand of TukTuk taxi services in Dar es Salaam. The results are expected to give an insight into the everyday requirement profile (number of trips, distances, ground coverage etc.) and thus provide important information for the potential electrification of the vehicles.
