During the World Travel Awards Asia & Australasia on October 1, the new e-Tuk was unveiled to the masses.

Dutch company Tuk Tuk Factory will be delivering the full fleet of electric vehicles to The Palm within the next couple weeks including the e-Tuk Limo for up to six passengers, and the e-Tuk Vendo & Cargo to be used by the housekeeping and kitchen staff. While originally built for conventional street use, their versatility and eco-friendly appeal has quickly gained interest from the luxury hotel industry and are expected to be a fixture at various resorts worldwide.
