Tuk-tuks are a common sight in the streets of Cambodia, but the conceptual 'SmarTuk' vehicle aims to change up what the can do for local street vendors.

The conceptual 'SmarTuk' vehicle is the design work of Vincent Chan and also features an electric build to eliminate emission along with water resistance for enhanced protection against common flooding in the country.
