In order to appreciate these pictures…..one must know a
little about this vehicle, “The JUGAAD”. This is lovingly
known as the Maruta in Punjab. It’s a home made four
wheeler…totally fabricated by your road side mechanic. The
driving force is a twelve H.P local Agra Diesel Engine
originally made for running generators….. it has no real gear
box……just a lever which if you push….the contraption moves
.It’s a front wheel drive…by V belts.
As per govt. records…the vehicle does not exist. But there
are thousands plying the roads between Delhi and Agra and in
some other parts of the country. Obviously this “VEHICLE”is
not registered with the government.
No pollution certificate, even though it runs in the Taj
Trapezium. Seat Belts…that’s a laugh. Here are a few shots.
Talk about EURO-III Norms !!! |
