Key findings of the study:

The key players in the market are focusing on investing in the production of three wheelers in African and South American countries. There have been prominent strategies made in recent years by automakers to increase the usage of three wheelers in these regions. For instance, in August 2016, Lohia Auto Industries entered Africa with three wheeler operated on diesel. Also, in May 2017, TVS Motor Company Ltd. shipped three-wheeler of its brand TVS King DLX to Central America. With this company aimed to make the region its sales target. Furthermore, Piaggio & C. SpA expanded and strengthened its operations in Mexico by marketing the Ape, its three-wheel vehicle.

A reduction in organized public transport systems has led to rapid growth in non-conventional means of public transport, initially provided by minibuses and shared taxi/vans, and more recently by commercial three-wheelers. Unlike cities in South and East Asia, ownership and use of motorized and electric three-wheelers as a personalized vehicle is extremely small in sub-Saharan cities. However, over the past decade, there has been significant growth in the use of three wheelers as a commercial, public transport mode.

Also, Tugende, in Uganda and Kiva in Kenya are the non-profit organization that took the initiative to offer access to credit for people wanting to own their own motorcycle taxis via a hire purchase scheme. With a schedule of affordable down-payments, Boda Boda operators contribute a portion of their income and are able to purchase their three-wheelers within two years. The three-wheeler offered by Tugende is fitted with tracking software to manage the risk of supplying credit to applicants.

In 2018, 900 beneficiaries of the Tugende organization paid the entire cost of their vehicles. Initiatives such as this have the potential to favorably alter the uptake of a motorcycle taxi and three-wheeler transport services by women, particularly if they proactively target women as potential beneficiaries. Thus, the adoption of three-wheelers is increasing in South America and Africa region.
