The government is even creating a new classification category for the vehicle, which is expected to be launched within months."In every market that a three-wheeler is available the quadricycle should be relevant," Bajaj told Reuters in a phone interview."Because at the end of the day it provides a very logical upgrade from a three-wheeler for people who want to pay a little more and want to have the"fort and safety of four wheels, four doors,canada goose jacket women a roof and seatbelts,Isuzu Auto Parts" he said. 

In India, autorickshaws typically have no doors and a soft roof.

Uproar as Kenyan football champions league reps seek ex-coach

With the clock ticking towards the start of the CAF Champions League opening rounds in February, Kenyan representatives, Gor Mahia, have moved to bolster their management but their intended addition has been met by uproar from devoted fans.On Tuesday, club secretary general,Wheel forks suppliers George Bwana, confirmed to the press that their former head coach who was also coached the national team, Harambee Stars, Zedekiah Otieno, is set for a dramatic return to the local league titleholders."We are aware the 2014 season will be tough, since we are set to participate in many competitions including the CAF Champions League," said Bwana."If you look at teams in the English Premier League, most of them have more than two assistant coaches, and that' s what we want to embrace at Gor," Bwana told local radio station, Capital FM on Wednesday.If the appointment comes through, Otieno, who captained Gor to the league crown in 1995 before returning to coach the side,Buy Smiling Face Handbag(AAA) wholesale, Custom Fit Stripe Shirt and more. will join another revered former ace, John Bobby Ogolla, as assistants to Scottish head coach, Bobby Williamson.The impending arrival of the tactician who left the club in 2011 has done little to assuage fears that Williamson, who led Gor to the first domestic title in 18 years last season, was set to ditch the club in favour of Tanzanian giants, Yanga SC, who also won their league in 2013.However, Bwana denied Williamson was on the verge of exit saying instead they were seeking to hand him a long-term contract in the near future."Coach Bobby is here to stay. As matter of fact, we are working on a longer contract. We are just looking at strengthening the technical bench in preparation for what promises to be a tough and explosive soccer season." 

"So kindly manage the speculations," the secretary posted on the official Gor Mahia FC Facebook page as supporters turned to the social media platform to slam the decision to hire Otieno back."Otieno is a good tactician but a poor manager. His divide and rule tactic belongs to politics not soccer.

Otieno divided the team during his time and wasn't fair to all. We saw what happened (and) if he is coming then (he should come) as a member of technical bench, not coach," Vincent Ahono, lamented.It was Gor fans, angered at an eight-match winless streak, who hounded out Otieno from the side in September 2011 after losing a local league game 2-1 to Congo United who were relegated from the top flight that season.At the time, he was also in charge of the national team with Gor supporters claiming he had little time for the side he led to second in the league in 2010 before taking them to the botched CAF Confederation Cup campaign the following season.Otieno, who is currently employed as head coach at another local top flight outfit, Sony Sugar, colloquially known as 'Gor B' could not be reached for comment on the matter.The Kenyan champions have been drawn against Gabonese side US Bitam in the preliminary round of the 2014 CAF Champions League with the first leg scheduled for the weekend of Feb. 7 to 9.The return will be played between Feb 14 to 16 in Gabon, with the winners earning a mouth watering first round clash with Tunisian giants, Esperance de Tunis.
