Mangaluru, Dec 26: The car-cum-cart (bandicaru in Kannada) has come to the fore again after getting limelight during the Laksha Deepotsava at Dharmasthala. Anand Mahindra, chief of Mahindra & Mahindra, has now posted a tweet accompanied by a video of the car.
The cart-cum-car has the back portion of a car in the rear with two bullocks in the front. A video of a farmer driving the cart has been widely circulated in the web. Anand Mahindra, who has tweeted the video, has posed question to the chief executive officer of Tesla, the world leader in electric cars, in a comic but constructive way.
"I do not think a car using fuel that costs less than this can be manufactured. This is a car that has renewable source of energy if Methane gas is used. I am not sure though about its smoke emission level," he tweeted.
This car-cum-cart was conceptualised by Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade.
