Bengaluru: Three Wheels United (TWU), a Bangalore based social enterprise that offers holistic financing solutions for auto drivers has launched a mobile app exclusively for auto rickshaw drivers.
Through this app, drivers can find all relevant local information related to safety and sanitization protocols, government relief initiatives for drivers, service station locations, peer to peer vehicle rental, charging points for electric auto rickshaws and other resources. In addition, they can also avail information and advice on vehicle loans, personal insurance and details about discounts/promotions from service providers.
Through this app TWU distributed 3,500 sanitisation kits and trained over 5,000 auto drivers on relevant safety protocols during COVID-19 to keep drivers and their passengers safe.
Cedrick Tandong, CEO, Three Wheels United said "At Three Wheels United, we build products and offerings that are tailored to the needs of our clients. Whilst drivers are inundated with various types of information, it is often not easily accessible to them – especially those with lower literacy levels – and it can be hard to distinguish genuine information from false.
This existing problem was magnified by the lockdown due to COVID-19 and we responded rapidly by creating this app. Initial information focused on COVID-19 safety and livelihood opportunities, we have now expanded it to deliver a wider range of targeted information and services. By engaging with drivers on a digital platform, we aim to provide them the tools to support good decision making at the tap of a button - simplifying their daily business operations" Commenting on the app, Ananda, an auto rickshaw driver from Shivanahalli, Bengaluru said "An app like this is very useful for auto drivers to access the right information. It helps in getting new business opportunities, gives details about rental schemes and provides training on sanitization measures to be followed for customer safety as well as for our safety"
