India to import 'Tuk Tuk'

BANGKOK, JAN. 15. India will import Thailand's national vehicle, the popular three-wheeler autorickshaws better known as ``Tuk Tuk''. The three-wheeler will be exported to India under the brand name ``Thai Chaiyo'' as its popular name ``Tuk Tuk'' has been registered by a U.K. importer, reports said today.

Thailand has filed a complaint to the company saying ``Tuk Tuk'' is a generic description of the vehicle and thus can not be licensed.

Thailand's Deputy Industry Minister, Pichgate Satirachaval, said the vehicle would be classified in the same category as motorcycle. - PTI
