Features of a three wheeler van

• This van has three wheels.

• Van wheels are similar to bicycle wheels and - these wheels also have components such as tires, tubes, spokes etc.

• There are two types of vans.

1. Foot-driven van, 2. Motorized vans.

• The foot-operated van moves the three wheels with the help of a chain when the paddle is turned by the foot. And motorized vans run with the help of electric motors. But it costs a lot. A normal van costs around 10,000 BDT (105.23 USD) to purchase, while a motorized van costs around 25,000-30,000 BDT (315.70 USD).

• Travelling in a van costs less. 5-6 people can easily travel together. Due to the rise in the price of oil and electricity, vans are easily accessible vehicles for people in rural areas.

• The maintenance cost of vans is affordable for rural people. If the van breaks down, it can be fixed at a low cost.

Places where the three-wheeler van can be travelled and activities that can be performed by this van

• Vans are used more for commuting on the roads in rural areas where there are muddy roads or where the sense of modernity is less.

• The main vehicle in the village is the van. However, apart from rural areas, vans are also widely used in slum areas.

• Farmers of the rural area often use vans for transporting products. Because it costs a lot to buy goods from the city market and carry them to the village in trucks or other moving vehicles. Besides, no one wants to come with these dynamic vehicles on muddy roads. Then vans are the only way for farmers.

• Many vegetable sellers in the village carry vegetables through vans and go to people's houses to sell vegetables.

Three-wheeled vans are inextricably linked with rural people's livelihood, economy and transportation. This traditional vehicle has made the rural transportation system comfortable. Nowhere else, you will get the joy of riding in a van on a rural road and enjoying the fresh air. Thank you @irawandedy for organising another beautiful contest.
