Tsikot.ph PHUV Prototype

[orly_andico]

on a related note, i've seen the Zinger! nice MPV. much better than the avanza, in my opinion.

if they came out with a low-end no-power version below 600k like the avanza, it would surely take market away from toyota (and.. any nascent PHUV, unfortunately..)

mga sirs,

napansin na ng mga bigboys ng CAMPI ata yung mga patutsada ko sa kanila hehe.....o baka tatakot sa paglabas ni tableta?sabi ko na nga ba, natatakot na ang mga sobrang mahal na CAMPI made vehicles na mawalan ng market. Ang AUV at commercial vehicles, which constitute the bulk of the auto market in the Philippines, might be taken over by a well-made and quality PHUV. tingnan nyo news na ito....

This is off-topic already.

By the way, the more simpler & logical explanation for them to increase their business here is the unexpected increase in the sales volume of their bare-bones Urvan & Frontier units for the last year.

With all due respect sir, I believe hindi OT ito. Kasi sir, ang ka-head collision sa market ng Tsikot PHUV tulad ng "tableta" etc. might be yan "barebone" Urban na sinasabi nyo na produkto ng Universal Motors (member ng CAMPI). Binebenta na yan ng ganyan "barebone" kasi nilalangaw sa market. At para na rin bilhin ng transport group na target din ng PHUV project po.

Kitang-kita sa mga lumalabas na design samples ng tsikot PHUV---easy-to-assemble, no-frills and can be easily fabricated locally.

Anyway, the article points to one reality---that there is a market for the PHUV ( belatedly recognized by CAMPI). And with the way this thread is coming up with doable and impressive models, these foreign car manufacturers (ex. MAZDA, KIA) might have to pack there bags.

meron na ba talaga currently as we speak, kino-konstruct na Tsikot PHuv? or drawing board pa lang

Zinger? Hmmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Zinger
This?


The concept sketches looked more impressive.


Sayang I don't read chinese.

Market and industry analyses are not off topic in this PhUV design thread. Auto Designers need to have a constant awareness of the goings-on in the market and industry. I would allow jpdm to speak freely. His passionate bias towards OPV is RIGHT ON LINE with the very objectives of this forum, an advocacy forum for OPVs. Rebuttals are not unwelcome, of course.
In extreme cases, please let me know if editing is necessary. Check PM.

Tsikot PhUV is still in the drawing board(s) as of this writing.
This forum was created just two months ago. There have been many submissions as you know, and some which are worthy of consideration have gone to studio for further development, with rights reserved to Tsikot and the proponent(s). It's the only way to fast-track the process. Too many cooks spoil the broth kasi, di ba?
You see, it's a bit unconventional to have a vehicle designed by enthusiasts using the "opensource" approach via the internet. None of the enthusiast-proponents and contributors is full-time. What is common to all who post here is our passion for cars, for design, and for developing something that's OUR VERY OWN. I could be wrong, but this could be the only one of its kind on the web.

BTW, there's an emerging group of CG enthusiasts in the "Wanna design ..." thread who might be able to help you with your pet concept minicar. ogpro seems to like the idea of a small people carrier. Remember my standing recommendation -- if you still want to design one.

New thread by wildthing initiates a sportscar design project. http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39303

Universal Motors Corp., the Philippine partner of Nissan,would expand and strengthen its assembly operations for completely knocked-down (CKD) auto units..and CAMPI will continue to seek government’s support for Philippine assemblers and parts manufacturers.
In particular, she said low-cost parts manufacturers in the Philippines needed more funding support from the government for them to improve their operations... With government support, Philippine manufacturers would be able to supply more automotive parts to assemblers overseas or to vehicle makers in the Philippines. With INQUIRER.net

I see the resurrection of Nissan BIDA here.

Read between the lines, the use of more local parts, CKDs and the emergence of a PHUV vehicle segment will definitely expand the local auto market. Konti lang naman mayaman sa Pinas e na kaya bumili ng Frontier, Xtrail na sobrang mamahal ng presyo,piyesa at maintenance.

Ang PHUV, lalo na kung locally fabricated ang most of the parts, over the counter ba ( may hella, roberts, mdjeepstar, dreamco, yazaki-torres, cvjoints at transmission ng laguna autoparts na pagkukunan) plus high-tech na mga friendly neighborhood na machine shops. Eureka, a viable segment of the auto market.

Nagyari na ito nuong late 1980s, hinahanap ko nga yung article sa Inquirer (1989) sa biglang pag-boom ng AUV (a.k.a. today PHUV), di ko lang makita. Pati nga si Jaworski naglabas ng sariling Dragon AUV ata e. G****go lang ng mg matatalino at Mo#t*#rFu#$%Rs sa govt at tongress ang incentives ng AUV kaya namatay e.

Anyway, although nasa design stage palang Tsikot PHUv, simula na yan. paglumabas yung final model baka may mag-fabricate nyan.
Yung kabila (baka ma-OT) meron na nga e. GO PHUV!

Pinoy materials for interior styling:

what do you say about using the rubber lined abaca mat for the carpeting. and banig inspired side panel or kawayan papag. faux rattan handcraft plastic pieces. etc, etc.

waddya say?

siguro as an option for those who want an added filipino feel to the vehicle. but as a standard configuration, i'd stay away from it. mas maganda pa rin na makagawa ng vehicle that meets international standards in safety and design.

that's an american concept car with japanese interior styling - international design. why dont we do it ourselves?
interior trimming does not diminish safety diba.

Goodluck guys! Hope this special project of yours does push through and pave the way in reviving our dying auto industry. Hirap kasi sa atin minsan mas mataas pa tingin sa mga foreigners kesa sa sarili. I believe we have the talent to make it, we just need to improve our self-esteem and stop trying to emulate and prefer foreign made products. We can all start helping our economy by Buying Philippine made products, this way, the money stays here and is put to good use. What we need is a product that we can show to the world and proudly say its Pinoy made. Although there are a lot of world class Pinoy products already (like hapee, jollibee, bench, jacknjill, etc), a vehicle would definitely be a big boost.

Guys, a bit of a request.

Please refrain from posting large pics/JPEGs of you can. These slow the refresh rate of the thread. Kawawa naman yung mga members natin who are interested and following this thread pero mabagal yung PC and/or yung Internet connection.

Thanks for understanding.

[drey]

no problem sir... welcome to tsikot po!

Hi aargh!
All the regulars in this Forum think the way you do.
Keep in touch. And if you've got some auto design talent, please do not hesitate to participate. See http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38980

Do you guys have a time frame for this project? And have you chosen a design already?

Suggestion sa pwedeng maging name ng pinoy cars: Tarsier (nakuha na Tamaraw e), Mayon. Pwede buhayin yung Harabas uli unless naka trademark sya. Pwede rin gamitin pangalan ng national heroes like Rizal, Sora, etc...

Yes we do.

And have you chosen a design already?

No we haven't really. Still open.

There's already a thread precisely on that subject.
