The 2010 MVDP: Feat. the "Filipino Car" or Philippine Brand Vehicles

[ghosthunter]

and ejeepneys can climb inclines, we have one in Puerto Princesa used by Mayor Hagedorn everyday. Pinang aakyat nta ng bundok!

With just Mayor Hagedor as passsenger?

[uls]

uls desperate of something to be proud of ba? sad way of looking at life. Kung ganyan magisip lahat e di dapat magkulong ka nalang sa kwarto at madepress.

is desperate too strong a word for you?

ok, let me rephrase

you guys need things to be proud of

[donbuggy]

Oyil, fabricate mo na kasi ang designs mo. But make it pass the standards of GH, Uls, Hein and others.

[OyiL]

With just Mayor Hagedor as passsenger?

hinde. siya yung driver

[uls]

let's put things into perspective:

US: Ford, GM

Japan: Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi

Korea: Hyundai, Kia, Ssangyong

Germany: BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW

Malaysia: Proton

Philippines: Yazaki-Torres?

there's such a desperate need for something to be proud of that some people have to distort reality in order to include something that doesnt exactly fit...

by hey, if it makes them feel good... they'll make it fit

kanya kanya nga naman

[OyiL]

due to the limited usefulness of the ejeepney, the motoring public is not gonna buy ejeepneys for personal or business use

jeepney operators are not gonna replace their diesel-burning PUJs with ejeepneys

the makers of the ejeepneys can only sell them to local governments that want to make a "green" statement and provide short-distance transportation to the public

the market for electric shuttles is very limited here

LGUs lang ang customers

and not all LGUs are gonna buy electric shuttles

from a business standpoint, it's not worth the hassle

it's too much work to sell electric shuttles

the makers have to lobby LGUs (kiss the asses of lots of mayors)

kaya sila lang ang nagbebenta ng electric shuttle dito

nobody except them think it's worth the hassle

there are other ways to make a buck

the sign that a business is hot is when lots of investors go into the same business

we will know when electric shuttles become hot when importers start bringing in electric shuttles from China

so far, it's not hot... it's far from hot

there are more press releases about the ejeepney than units sold

it's their way of advertising their product

the public just goes pero hindi bumibili

even the cheerleaders themselves won't write a check

all they do is go

napansin mo pala, na at this point, hindi pang private individuals yung mga ejeepney. sinubukan na ba nila ibenta sa private individuals yun? may nagbenta ba sa yo? kung wala nagbenta sa yo, ano ang problema doon?

[uls]

^^

duh

what kind of logic is that?

from what direction are you coming from anyway?

first of all, from how you sound, seems like you have never ran a business of your own

who the hell goes into business without thinking of making as much money as possible?

so you're saying -- the original plan of the ejeepney makers is to sell their products to LGUs only?

what sane businessman sets a goal like that?

syempre you would want to sell your products to everyone

why would you intentionally block out commercial and individual buyers and only sell to LGUs?

it's like Toyota choosing to sell Vios cars only to LGUs for use as police cars

it's insane

the ejeepney makers are selling their products to LGUs NOT coz it is their original plan

they planned to sell ejeepneys to PUJ operators

but PUJ operators won't replace their diesel-burning PUJs with ejeepneys

their plan failed

so who else can they sell ejeepneys to?

commercial buyers won't buy ejeepneys

individual buyers won't buy ejeepneys

so that leaves the govt

they have no choice

they had to do something to save their investment

in the first place, they didnt really plan to go into the elctric vehicle business

they wanted to make AUVs (the PhUV)

but they failed

they couldnt compete

they can't come up with a competitive product

so they went into something with no local competition -- electric shuttles

[OyiL]

Oyil, fabricate mo na kasi ang designs mo. But make it pass the standards of GH, Uls, Hein and others.

kung sila ang target ko na customer. at reasonable ang requirements nila, standard nila ang aabutin natin. pero kung hindi naman sila ang target ko na gagamit ng produkto, hindi priority ang standard nila.

Tax exemption on AUV-like
auto may be revived


Malaya Business Insights
June 8, 2010


The Board of Investments plans to restore the exemption from excise taxes of successor models to Asian utility vehicles.
The exemption will be provided in the new Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP) which is undergoing finishing touches.


"We will revive exemption in post-AUV era by developing a new model, a Philippine brand that is the equivalent of an AUV and exhibiting high local content," said BOI managing head Elmer C. Hernandez.


The MVDP (Executive Order 877) has been sent back to Malacanang for correction of typographical errors. The EO will be published as soon as the corrections are made.


The proposed new tax structure for vehicles needs legislation by Congress.
The current tax structure under Republic Act 9224 or the Rationalization of Excise Tax on Motor Vehicles of 2003 is based on value.


The old one was based on a combination of seating capacity and engine displacement. The shift led to the drastic decline in the sales of AUVs which previously enjoyed exemption.


AUV is defined as a utility vehicle of Asian design, whether 4-wheel drive or not, and intended to carry both passengers and goods/cargoes. In this category are the Isuzu Crosswind, the Toyota Innova and the Mitsubishi Adventure. - Irma Isip
