There are few things more iconic to Bangkok than the Tuk Tuk.
They are loud, fast, and belch some of the most toxic two cycle fumes imaginable, but as a primary means of transportation for many, they are essential part of getting around Bangkok.
For Dennis Harte, he has spent the last 10 years building his company, the Tuk Tuk Factory, on out outskirts of Bangkok with the hopes to deliver electric Tuk Tuks to the market, and through this episdoe of Entrepreneurs For Good,I learn about his commitment to delivering on that vision.
