Tuk Tuk North America has announced that the company’s vehicles have been granted both DOT and EPA approval. Soon enough you’ll be seeing those Mitsubishi powered three-wheelers driving around town.

There are many different Tuk Tuk variants most of which are powered by a water-cooled 4 stroke 650cc engine. That helps the Tuk Tuks return an estimated 55 mpg.

Passenger vehicles include a 3-passenger, 6 passenger or a pickup truck model mated to a 4-speed manual. For commercial vehicles Tuk Tuk North America is offering a 12-passenger model, a dump truck, garbage truck, a flatbed, a utility and a van model.

    I test drove a demo tuk tuk in chattanooga last month and they are solid as a rock, peppy engine, fun to drive and draws a crowd wherever it goes. I was told they are a ground up redesign of the Thai version. would be great in beach towns, campuses etc.
