The e-cycle program is a cornerstone of Swarna Kuppam Vision 2029, developed by the Kuppam Area Development Authority in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, to transform the constituency into India’s first net-zero model, the release said.
The shift to e-mobility represents a giant leap in carbon reduction with each e-cycle reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 75 percent.
While a standard petrol scooter emits about 68 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the e-cycle produces only 15.2 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the release said.
Meanwhile, encouraged by the response, the southern state now aims to promote the use of supercycles across the state.
To give a shot in the arm to the Super Cycle initiative, Naidu led a 3 km e-cycle rally from Sivapuram showcasing the comfort and efficiency of these electric bicycles.
“Kuppam’s success proves that net-zero is not a Western luxury – it is an Indian necessity,” added Naidu.
