Gayam Motor Works Passenger E-Auto

The Gayam Motor Works Passenger E-Auto (Tuk-Tuk) is a fully electric L5M high-speed passenger carrier from Gayam Motor Works, an Indian EV maker. It seats a driver plus three passengers (D+3) in a fully built body on a three-wheel layout, 2,630 mm long and 1,260 mm wide, with a 2,900 mm turning radius for narrow city lanes. TrucksDekho does not list an ex-showroom price, so pricing is by dealer quotation.

Range and charging

A 6-10 kWh lithium-ion battery pack on a 48 V architecture delivers a claimed range of 60-110 km on a full charge. Full charging takes about 4 hours, which fits an overnight top-up between working days rather than a mid-shift stop. Gayam quotes a 30-50 km/h operating speed band, which places the Passenger E-Auto on short city passenger hops instead of highway runs.

Performance and payload

Power is rated at 10 hp from a brushless DC motor, with a 600 kg gross vehicle weight and a 600 kg kerb weight as listed by TrucksDekho; a separate payload figure is not published. It rides on three wheels with drum brakes and leaf spring suspension on both axles, an automatic transmission with a 1-forward/1-reverse gearbox, handle-bar steering, a digital driver information display and 142 mm of ground clearance. AC, ABS and seat belts are not offered.

Who should buy it

The Passenger E-Auto suits city auto operators and small fleet owners running short passenger routes with access to overnight charging. The low running cost and D+3 passenger capacity fit metro feeder, school and point-to-point commuter duty. Buyers should confirm payload, actual range and pricing with a Gayam dealer, and check service reach in their city before committing.
