If we were to license a design?

[OTEP]

Suppose we follow the route the Koreans and Malaysians took in jumpstarting their auto industry? Which was by licensing established designs and evolving from there.

Which vehicle do you think we should license?

I nominate the Toyota Qualis :

its a big boost to the designers here,so they can expand the bounderies of their design,as what ive notice here in the philippines..no matter how good yuor design is,we are still limited to the quantity and availability of the parts used to incorporate in the design of vehicle,we may design concept cars as futuristic and trendy,but we are still stuck to what is available,just like the phuv its design rely on the manufacturers parts,it still looks crude compared to other vehicles as what we see in the roads today of modern design..unlike other countries the auto designers design cars without bounderies,so when approved they can create the parts needed to copy the prototype,here in the philipines ,yuo design a vehicle,but then the carmakers would say to settle for a boxy type coz we are not sure if it will make a huge impact,use only whats available,from doors to windshields and everything common yuo can find in anywhere car parts store ..

This is one of the reason why we need to help the MVPMAP and other proponents of the PHUV. If this vehicle will become very successful, with its reliance on local parts--PHUV manufacturers and the MVPMAP autoparts manufacturers--will definitely gain a certain level of profitability that will give them the capability to improve and expand their design, engineering-- and of course product line.

Ganun lang yun. Kailangan kumita muna ang lahat ng involved sa revival ng truly local auto industry. pag may pera na-panigurado hindi na masasayang mga works ng local auto designer natin at di magiging limitado ang availability ng parts kasi puede ng mag-venture sa iba pang spare parts.

Ang Toyota for instance, may R&D. pag may type na bagong design, pag kailangan ng isang uri ng parts say an instrument panel na nakaposisyon sa gitna tulad ng VIos, sabihin lang sa DENSO at sa libo nya pang autoparts supplier na gumawa nun. Madali kasi may economies of scale, kayang tustusan ang pagbabago ng design.

Dito sa Pinas, dahil sa over reliance natin sa mga pagsamantalang foreign manufacturers ng CAMPI, nakadepende sa kanila yung availability at kung i-fabricate pa nila ang kailangan nating piyesa. Hostage tayo.

nakita ko sa thread na ito, grabe ang huhusay ng mga pinoy talaga sa auto. From design, engineering, prototyping,production, trouble-shooting, upgrading--financial capital na lang kayang abutan kaagad level ng Malaysia at Thailand. No need nga sa licensing e. Kaya lang.......

Actually, I wish yung Russian Manufacturer na GAZ ang hingin ng license at i-rebadged e para mas mura keysa European, Japanese.

Ngayon kung talagang alang budget, nandyan pa rin ang Norkis at Francisco Motors e--improve version ng Norkis' minica nodel, legacy first, multicab--Francisco's anfra at a rebadged FIAT vehicle (dating Italcar ng FMC).

ano kaya i-license and re-badge ang old IsuZU Highlander..................


wag na lang...


i-revive na lang ng Francisco Motors ang ANfra......konting modification lang....

palitan ang ilaw sa harap at likod, i-remodel ng konti ang bumper sa harap at likod, konting remodelling sa body at interior, gumamit ng brand new foton na makina at transmission at gauge....


puede na......

Licensing a design might be a pragmatic way to go, but that would mean the undoing of this forum, which is an outlet for Pinoys who want to be original about autobody design, and maybe to act on it locally.

What we would appreciate is licensing of platforms (aka rolling chassis). Otherwise, there's always the option of reverse engineering. Here's a clip on extreme rev eng'g:
