A youngster named Dhananjaya Wimalaratn­e who lives in Atakalanpa­nna in Ambalanwat­ta has succeeded in making a modern motor vehicle with discarded plates using a trishaw engine. He said that he had to spend about 1 ½ months to make this vehicle using discarded parts of the vehicles while bringing them to proper shapes. He has fitted all parts required for a motor vehicle including gear system, steering wheel, four wheels, dash board, automatic brake system, electric lamps and reclining seats. This vehicle has been made so that four persons can travel by using very less amount of petrol as fuel. He said that the opportunit­ies for this type of creations are limited and requested the authoritie­s to grant necessary assistance to improve the standard of the vehicle.
