This is a boarding call for the TukTribe! Please board eTukTuk at the Station!

Welcome to the Station App — a one-stop shop for our TukTribe to earn rewards and be part of the transportation rEVolution!

eTukTuk is delighted to announce that we have developed Station App — a rewards platform designed to incentivise community growth and build awareness around eTukTuk’s rEVolutionary transportation network.

eTukTuk Station App is designed to make engagement fun, turning community members into brand ambassadors. Users can join in tasks and be part of a growing community as they complete missions to earn rewards. We will not only be able to reward our community for helping the network grow, but with further development, we will be able to offer a seamless ride-hailing service that will provide functionality for drivers, who in the future, will be able to access this app as part of their everyday service to passengers and even to earn rewards themselves.

But today, the Alpha version of our app has plenty to offer community members who are ready to become brand ambassadors to eTukTuk’s unique ecosystem. (Stay tuned for the Beta in the near future!) We have so many plans to turn this into a Super app designed to help the entire eTukTuk community — with drivers at the heart of everything we do — so that we can all become connected as part of our sharing economy.

We want you — our amazing TukTribe — to help us spread the word about eTukTuk — the world’s first automotive project on Cardano. Users can earn TXPs and lead the way by completing tasks that will take them ever closer to winning. Users can collect points for their chance to win a share of the 4,000,000 $TUK token grand prize.

So, Why now? Why Station App?

We are actively increasing our user base so that we can create amazing things together. Here’s why:

eTukTuk is incredibly dedicated to making the lives of drivers and our global community better. Right now, 99% of us are breathing polluted air that exceeds World Health Organisation guidelines. That’s over 7.95 billion of us breathing in pollution that is not good for our lungs and that makes us sick.

Something that we found shocking in our development, was that there are 7 million annual premature and preventable deaths linked to CO2 that’s created by internal combustion vehicles (ICE), (World Health Organisation).

One of the main drivers of pollution is the combustion of fossil fuels, i.e. when we fill up our vehicles with fossil fuels and drive, it becomes part of the global carbon emissions that are choking our planet.

Right now, 63% of all carbon emissions emanate from developing countries (CGDEV). This is caused by a lack of innovative technologies and infrastructure that will help countries move away from carbon-intensive vehicles. For that reason (and so many more), developing nations are disproportionately affected by CO2; caught in a chokehold of stagnation that is preventing them from progressing beyond ICE vehicles.

To date, nations like Sri Lanka (eTukTuk’s first territory) must import costly fossil fuels into the country in order to keep people moving. However, the soaring rise in fuel prices (by as much as 50% in some regions) is preventing people on low- to middle-incomes from even affording the fuel that powers their jobs, their access to healthcare, and tourism, and their livelihoods.

Not only this, but 1.4 billion people across the globe are still unbanked and many people are functioning on low incomes without access to financial opportunities to help them improve their situation. That’s one of the reasons eTukTuk is utilising blockchain technology and we are proud to put people-centric solutions first.

The eTukTuk Solution

eTukTuk is driving forward a new era in transportation. Powered by the sharing economy and underpinned by the excellence of Web3, we want to incentivise our community to spread awareness of this project. Help us reach every corner of the earth, because when our vehicles begin their journey on Sri Lankan roads late this year, the reduction in carbon emissions will have an impact for everyone.

So, when many people ask our team, “Why Station App?”… “Why now?”. We say because now is the time to work together to put an end to fossil fuels, to help eradicate ill-health caused by CO2 and eradicate financial disparity, and to empower financial inclusivity and opportunities for all.

Together, we can rEVolutionise transportation, help nations sever the ties that bind them to fossil fuels, and we can install innovative infrastructure that will provide a robust and reliable network to keep people moving, earning, and living well — long into the future.

eTukTuk is designed to boost local manufacturing, local employment, and a driver’s take-home pay which can be up to 4x what they traditionally earn from an ICE TukTuk. Our vehicles are made from our patented roll cage design and are therefore safer than the models that are currently available to buy.

This isn’t just about eTukTuk. This is about all of us — finding a way forward so that everyone, everywhere, all across the globe can access clean, safe, and fair transportation, that doesn’t make us sick, that doesn’t make us poor, and that doesn’t hold us back or destroy our planet.

Through education and awareness, we can empower everybody to play a part — no matter how small — in rEVolutionising transportation for good.

FYI

The grand prize campaign for 4,000,000 $TUK will end just after TGE* and participants will be air-dropped their tokens shortly after this.

With Station App, our community can support the rEVolution in the most fun and exciting ways and get rewarded for their meaningful input and interactions with eTukTuk. Even more opportunities will come after TGE as we upgrade our app to the Beta version — so make sure to stay involved and watch out for more amazing chances to be part of eTukTuk’s bid to become the first automotive project on Cardano to provide an entire ecosystem of solutions.

We are working hard to incentivise our community so that we can grow as big as we need to in order to tackle carbon emissions, financial exclusion, and CO2-related health conditions. We can then expand our blueprint into the regions that could really use this type of solution to kickstart innovation and sustainability for the future.

Our underlying goal? Empower drivers to earn more money by reducing the costs to buy an EV (which are incredibly expensive all across the globe!), so that they can move away from high-polluting TukTuks that currently form the backbone of transportation networks in many developing countries.

Okay, You’ve Convinced us. So, How Do We Join?

Well, we’re glad you asked. Station App is a super handy platform where you can connect your wallet and earn rewards and it’s all but a click away! Head to station.etuktuk.io and follow the instructions to set up your account. It’s really that simple!

The app will allow users from around the world to earn points (TXP) by playing games, solving quizzes, and winning fun challenges. The players with the most TXPs will earn awesome prizes from our Rewards Pool filled with more than 4 million $TUK tokens! The first 10K power users in the Leaderboard will also share in some super nice rewards in exchange for the support and time spent spreading awareness of our vision for a greener world.

Before You Go…

This is a big project and the challenges are enormous in scope. That’s why we need large numbers of community members to get involved. We cannot make great changes independently. But, together we can achieve so very much. This is ultimately eTukTuk’s goal; To rEVolutionise transportation for the benefit of everyone. Station App is one of the key components that will help us achieve this.

Economies are desperately trying to find ways of doing this for themselves, but there are so many restrictions as they seek to keep their countries moving. That’s why eTukTuk exists. We are the platform that can help transportation networks across the globe transcend the restrictions of fossil fuels. We are designed solely to sever the ties that bind us to fossil fuels and internal combustion vehicles. That’s why we have set out on our mission and we invite YOU to join us and take part in the rEVolution in a fun and engaging way so that everyone, everywhere, can learn more and be involved in changing transportation for the good of us all.
