Tuk Tuk Factory, the world´s leading manufacturer of premium & road legal electric e-Tuks, today announced a licensing agreement with e-Tuk USA, LLC to make the company the exclusive and distributor of e-Tuk electric vehicles in the United States.

The e-Tuks are already a big success in European cities and at premium resorts in the Middle East. The agreement is the result of several months of research and relationship building between the two companies. “We are extremely excited about the opportunity to introduce these quality electric, zero-emission vehicles to the U.S. Market, “ said Michael Fox of e-Tuk USA.

“When my partners and I first discovered the Tuk Tuks in a small town in Guatemala we casually discussed the idea of bringing the Tuk Tuk taxis to our hometown of Denver, Colorado. Little did we know at the time that a small idea would lead us to the Tuk Tuk Factory in Amsterdam. The passion of the Tuk Tuk Factory team to provide high-quality eco-friendly vehicle options to the market struck the right cord with us. And: the e-Tuk Limo is the only vehicle that gets us a plus 50mile radius at a 6 passenger capacity. We are thrilled to bring that same passion and product to the U.S.”

The first three e-Tuks arrived in Denver on Wednesday, April 23, 2014. e-Tuk USA is in the process of having the e-Tuk's DOT certified to be driven on U.S. streets. The vehicles are already type approved in Europe, and there are just a few more steps to be completed before distribution and usage can officially begin in the US. The initial interest for the e-Tuk's in the US is already greater than expected. Initial leads have included concepts such as taxi and tour companies; delivery food service; small food cart business businesses; hotels; public relations and marketing firms; and more. Both companies envisage to sell at least 500 units in the next few years.
