P’ in our name stands for triple bottom line sustainability of people, profit and planet that we want to bring
in all our internal functioning, projects we do, and industries we support. It also keeps us prompt,
progressive and partnership valuing. Manifold represent abstraction of complex problem to smaller
dimension, still preserving elements which matters and are available to influence/control and also measure
the system dynamics. We are ‘small data’ company and take pride in collecting and analysing most
relevant data to help our clients with decisions and actions.

Key Complexities of Existing Truck Operations
COMPLEXITIES

Overloading Entry Restrictions Driver Shortage Driver Stoppage


25-30% MHDT has 50 to Timing restriction 25% of vehicle stands Every 50-70 km driver
70% overloading. inside city for MAVs still due to driver stop to cool down
This leads to Example of Mumbai City: shortage vehicle, check wear and
• Higher emission • 6am to 12pm – closed
• 12pm to 4pm – open tear etc
• Road deterioration • 4pm to 9pm – closed
• 9pm to 6am – open

Possibly less Emission aspect of Ease of driving & less Frequent stoppage may
overloading propensity entry restrictions maintenance reduce as engine
addressed overheating no longer
an issue
