ETUKTUK- A POWERFUL BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PLATFORM THAT OFFERS SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION TO THE WORLD

Air pollution, which is referred to as the release of pollutants into the air, has become a serious challenge to our environment. This is because these pollutants are detrimental to human health, they harm agriculture as well as affect the entire planet. Several researches have shown that transportation is the major source of air pollution, and cars, buses and more especially three-wheeled vehicles that are powered by fossil fuels are major contributors to air pollution. Vehicles emit a significant amount of carbon dioxide and other gasses which leads to global warming.

The effects of air pollution have become a threat to the environment, especially in loping nations, as a direct result of rising carbon emissions. There is a need for sustainable transportation to curb this menace, and this is why the ETUKTUK platform has come to provide the world with an affordable network of charging stations and proprietary electric vehicles that will not only tackle pollution but will also tackle financial exclusion directly.

ETUKTUK- ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OF AIR POLLUTION AND TRANSPORTATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

ETUKTUK is a revolutionary ecosystem that is specialized and designed to have a direct impact on reducing air pollution, and carbon dioxide (CO2) related health conditions, and to bring financial inclusiveness both in the developing nations and the global world at large. It is no longer news that TukTuks and other two and three-wheeler vehicles have become a major means of transportation in developing nations, and they are having a detrimental impact on the environment and lives of those living around such places, because of the large quantity of pollutants they produce on daily bases.

ETUKTUK believes that the deployment of an efficient, innovative, and shared infrastructure could herald the eradication of TukTuks that are powered by fossil fuels, which will reduce the emission of air pollutants such as black carbon, particulate matter, etc in developing cities. ETUKTUK strives to create massive opportunities for adopters of the sharing economy model, which is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. This will also facilitate a new generation of efficiency in transportation and will be powered by a sustainable infrastructure.

In addition to providing the global world and everyone with sustainable transportation that will solve the problems of air pollution caused by vehicles and TukTuks, ETUKTUK is also focused on empowering the lives of billions of people and will help them to access the first transportation network that is forged by the sharing economy. ETUKTUK’s scalability makes it a blueprint for expansion across developing countries, its infrastructure has the potential to grow and meet the compulsory switch from traditional vehicles (vehicles powered by fossil fuels) to electric vehicles, and this will go a long way to mitigate the challenges faced by many developing countries.

ETUKTUK- THE FIRST AUTOMOTIVE PLATFORM TO BE POWERED BY CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain’s disruptive potential has provided many businesses, platforms, and sectors with much-needed transformation that will enable them to excel and propel them to the next level. Its innovative features such as better transparency, enhanced security, immutability, and ability, as well as improved speed and efficiency, have made blockchain a commanding force in revolutionizing the current transportation system. The ETUKTUK ecosystem is built on the Cardano blockchain, which allows it to utilize the advantages blockchain technology provides over traditional payment systems.

As a cutting-edge technology, blockchain is used to host the ETUKTUK native token (TUK) and the smart contracts associated with the distribution of the token. Blockchain also provides the solution that powers the ETUKTUK ecosystem in so many ways that are far superior to the existing infrastructure in the developing world. One of the advantages of using blockchain technology is that it supports an expanded payment system for drivers, which will, in turn, facilitate the utility of the TUK token and this will enable more efficient transactions and also ensure that resources are not wasted.

In addition to supporting seamless communication between ETUKTUK vehicles, charging stations, the drivers, as well as ETUKTUK mobile app and the control center that oversees the entire network, Cardano blockchain’s alignment vision, technological vision, as well as social vision makes it an outstanding blockchain for the ETUKTUK network. ETUKTUK envisages decentralized identities as the foundation for banking the unbanked, and this is why it is committed to addressing the wealth imbalance by ensuring that digital identities and verifiable credentials that meet the highest standards are issued to all drivers who are part of the ETUKTUK ecosystem.

Furthermore, the Cardano blockchain offers a combination of digital solutions. By leveraging this, ETUKTUK will onboard millions of digital identities as part of the network. ETUKTUK will create use cases for these solutions to help and empower drivers to diversify their income and earning opportunities. Users will be able to share in the e-solution that closes the gap between developed and developing nations, thereby giving people the tools to end financial exclusion.

ETUKTUK'S OBJECTIVE

The ETUKTUK primary objective includes:

  • To develop sustainable transportation solutions
  • To create a culture of innovation that will be beneficial to everyone.
  • To act with integrity.
  • To empower the masses, by solving the problem of financial exclusiveness.

WHY ETUKTUK ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS A BETTER OPTION THAN TRADITIONAL TUKTUKS INCLUDING TWO- AND THREE-WHEELERS.

ETUKTUK is focused on setting new standards in electric vehicle production. One of the key advantages of ETUKTUK EV (electric vehicle) is that it is built to be a more affordable and reliable alternative to traditional TukTuks, and the vehicle is designed to fit seamlessly into the developing world. The ETUKTUK EV is crafted to be safe and sustainable from its roll cage design to local manufacturing.

ETUKTUK EV is environmentally friendly because of its zero-emission making it the best option in terms of solving the issues of air pollution caused by traditional TukTuks. The ETUKTUK ZEV (zero-emission vehicle) is fully compatible with all electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Its design integrates many features which will enhance opportunities for scalability across its ecosystem.

There are also Charging Stations that form the backbone of the ETUKTUK network. The Stations are built to be widely accessible, compact, and future-proof, to enable people to charge their vehicles. Despite this, it is important to understand that the batteries that are installed in the ETUKTUK ZEV can last up to 8 years, and as technology advances the battery lifespan is expected to expand further. To ensure sustainability in the ecosystem, service network providers will be able to replace these batteries and give them a second life.

ABOUT ETUKTUK TOKEN

ETUKTUK has a utility native token known as TUK token, which is used in powering the entire ecosystem through carefully designed tokenomics that is aimed at providing attractive rewards for long-term network participants. The TUK token, which has a total supply of 2,000,000,000, is built on the Cardano Blockchain, and will also be supported by BNB Chain.

ETUKTUK EV drivers can use the TUK utility token to pay for the charging of their vehicles. As a rewarding platform, TUK tokens offer various opportunities for all token holders, which will enable them to earn rewards in many ways that encourage maximum decentralization and participation over a long period.

CONCLUSION

ETUKTUK is committed to building an electric vehicle charging network that will be shared by billions of people all over the world. Its peer-to-peer sharing economy provides multiple utilities which can enhance the quality of the transportation system not just for drivers alone, but also for Territory Partners. ETUKTUK strives to become fully self-sufficient from local power grids, and its solar-powered charging ing stations will provide an ultimate solution that supports a sustainable charging network and will also reduce costs to the ecosystem.

To ensure that users get maximum satisfaction, ETUKTUK is determined to develop two key front-facing apps which will focus on the two major stakeholders (drivers, and passengers) in the ecosystem. The Driver’s App will allow them to make payments via their App by using the TUK token after charging their ETUKTUK EV at the charging stations. Drivers can also pay with crypto and fiats through the app, which will be converted to TUK tokens. The Passengers App will enable efficient, seamless, and secure payments to drivers.

As a game changer, ETUKTUK is determined to address the issues of air pollution and transportation in developing countries. Through the introduction of electric tuk-tuks or EVs as a sustainable alternative to traditional combustion vehicles, ETUKTUK has shown that clean, and sustainable transportation which will lead to a healthy environment in developing countries is possible.
