Though it is not technically recognized by the Government as a legal-vehicle, its use is quite common, mainly due to the high demand for public transport and lack of proper bus and train routes, especially to underdeveloped parts of the [[Indian Punjab|province]].

The name has originated from "[[Petters Limited|Petter]]", a brand of small diesel engines imported to India in early 1960s.

It is also known as Gharruka(ਘੜੁੱਕਾ) or Maruta(ਮਾਰੂਤਾ) - the male version of Maruti 800 car by maruti-suzuki partnership in India
