Police agencies all across the world are expanding their fleets with high-powered speed vehicles and using them to successfully hunt criminals.
Three-wheeled tuk-tuks, which are common on Indian highways, will now be seen in the UK as part of their battle against crime, although this is an unusual step. The Gwent Police have added four tuk-tuks to their fleet to cut down on crime. According to the Welsh police, the tuk-tuks will be used by officers and ambassadors in Newport and Abergavenny “day and night” to patrol parks, sidewalks, and other open spaces. Only a maximum speed of 55 kilometers per hour is permitted for the cars.
According to police officials, these tuk-tuks will act as “safe spaces” where crimes can be reported, assistance can be acquired, and advice on crime prevention can be given. At their “Behind the Badge” day event, the Gwent Police’s Chief Inspector Damian Sowrey stated that these vehicles were on display so that locals could have a close-up view of the tuk-tuks. Mr. Sowrey went on to say that the response was “overwhelmingly positive,” with parents telling officers that they would feel safer knowing that there was help available for children out at night, as well as from women who could imagine a scenario in which the tuk-tuk would have been a welcome sight.
The tuk-tuk, which is used as an e-rickshaw in India, is made by a lot of companies there.

These vehicles are available as the Treo electric three-wheeler from Mahindra Electric, one of the leading manufacturers. Although cars have historically been used as a form of public transportation, the producer stated that Gwent Police has other plans. They want to use e-autos as “safe zones” where people can report crimes, get help, and exchange crime-prevention advice. They feel privileged to be a part of such an amazing initiative.
Anand Mahindra, the chairman of the Mahindra Group, commented on a news report about it by tweeting, “That logo looks familiar.” These tuk-tuks are funded in the UK by the Safer Streets program, a Home Office grant fund that supports police enforcement in preventing neighborhood crime, anti-social behavior, and violence against women and girls.
