The car consists of structure modified from typical motortricycle, two cylinder, 24 Hp, diesel engine, pick-up gear system, a single front wheel, reartandem wheel, 130 cm x 220 cm carrying platform. The car whose no-load weight is 575 kilogram can carry two standard wooden bins of durian. Testing in both simulated and real orchard showed that the car worked well when carrying 900 kilogram weight at the speed of 15.4 kilometer/hr. on a road and 8.8 kilometer/hr. in the orchard. Fuel consumption was 0.93 litre/hr.
