Tsikot.ph PHUV Prototype

sir dprox,

medyo baka mauunahan na tsikot phuv.....

The Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP), the organization of local parts makers, Thursday lauded the initiatives outlined by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI).

CAMPI president Elizabeth Lee Wednesday said that it was moving to bring back in a few years the glory days of the automotive industry in 1996 when it sold the highest ever 162,000 units. It hopes to achieve this with each car assembler introducing a low-cost vehicle model accessible to the C segment of the market for business use.

Lee said that "to make this possible, these models must be assembled locally from completely-knocked down (CKD) kits and supported by an Executive Order that will probably ease the excise tax imposed on vehicles. We need the tax break to make the vehicles enrolled in the program affordable".

MVPMAP president Eddie Jose welcomed this move as "this is exactly what we hoped to achieve when we conceptualized our Philippine Utility Vehicle (PhUV) project. We wanted a home-grown AUV assembled from CKD kits so it will have a high level of local value-added parts and labor, thus it can be available at a low price for the CD market".

"In 1996, of the 162,000 units sold, some 141,000 units or 87 per cent were from CKD kits, thus the local auto parts industry benefited from the situation. As it is right now, the auto industry has not breached the 100,000-unit sales mark for the last nine years.

Last year, only some 55.3% of them were assembled from CKD kits and this year to-date, it is down to an even lower 46.6 per cent. Thus, CAMPI's initiative is welcome news to all of us in the local auto parts manufacturing industry", Jose adds.

Under the CAMPI scheme, Lee told reporters "we want to make vehicles available not only to the AB market which makes up only 30 per cent of society. We aim to increase production so that eventually, production costs will be reduced. This hopefully will then increase the consumer's market base which is a critical factor in making the country an attractive investment destination for foreign car makers".

Jose said MVPMAP members are elated at this latest development as local auto parts makers will surely benefit from the increased orders from CAMPI members. "This will be a welcome respite for some 50,000 workers dependent in our industry whose companies are reeling from the impact of reduced orders. Some are operating at only 40 per cent of their plant capacities and even worse, some have closed shop."

"We saw the need to do something immediately, thus the decision for MVPMAP to build a PhUV prototype. With CAMPI's initiative and MVPMAP's PhUV project, together we hope to revitalize the local auto parts industry", he continues.

"Lately, we have noted that developing countries have been propping up their auto industry by developing budget vehicles. In Thailand, the auto industry is the biggest manufacturing sector and ranks second to electronics in terms of industry sales.

"It has decided to focus on the pickup truck, making them the biggest Asean market for pickup trucks and the biggest outside of the USA.

"In the Philippines, the PhUV is our answer to this regional development, with the hope that the PhUV will gain government support ", Jose added. (PNA)

[I]The Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP), the organization of local parts makers, Thursday lauded the initiatives outlined by the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines, Inc. (CAMPI).

It hopes to achieve this with each car assembler introducing a low-cost vehicle model accessible to the C segment of the market for business use.

What is notable in this recent news is that CAMPI is changing its tune, and that's a triumph in advocacy. They are beginning to see that even they will drown in the maelstrom if they don't move toward a strong native auto industry. They will be walking on a tightrope and it will take guts for them to finally act with a spirit of independence in a globalized economy. They will not be standing on patriotism, but the demands of corporate survival.

It's becoming clear that MVPMAP's stunt in launching whatever vehicle they could cough up was to rock the boat and see what happens. Things appear to be looking up.

Tsikot is not competing with MVPMAP. The Tsikot PhUV has its own timetable, and will stand (or fall) on its own merits.

Sir Dprox,

Anyway, its quite obvious sir that they are looking around, monitoring developments (a.k.a. industrial espionage?Oyil, paki patent yung sketches mo, may paka-dai dorobo kasi mga iba dyan), perhaps they saw the buzz (heightened activities) that the PHUV project (including the Tsikot PHUV)has created.

Take note advocacy, design at sketches pa lang. Paano na kung lumabas yung prototype ng Tsikot PHUV. laglag mga puwet ng CAMPI sa upuan.

I am really anticipating the Tsikot PHUV and other PHUV kasi viable, doable and can really compete in terms of design if mass produced.

The tableta, Oyil's fantastic sketches, your chokaran can make our dying domestic industry alive again.

Despite the near oligopolistic control of Japanese and Korean auto companies of our auto industry thru CAMPI, local auto companies (guerilla SME) still strive.....albeit at a limited scale and are gasping for breath....

But we, the Pinoys can make it thru.....

How ironic that the "local auto industry" is Japanese , Korean and American. Elizabeth Lee and CAMPI is nothing more but an exclusive club of foreign manufacturers who dont give a DAMN ABOUT THE ECONOMIC PROGRESS OF THIS COUNTRY.

CAMPI IS SO ENGROSSED WITH PROFIT, PROFIT AND REPATRIATION OF PROFIT (TO JAPAN, KOREA AND U.S.A.) AND NOTHING MORE.

Despite CAMPI's japanese and korean companies' control of the local market, there is always that fear from these guys that the undying and the tremendous survival instinct of Pinoys (even without government assistance and strong support from fellow Pinoys) will someday put a dent to their exploitative control of our auto industry.


Go AMC, NorKIs, FMC, Dreamco, MDjuan! Go Tsikoteers! Go Tsikot PHUV!

P.S.

Columbian Motors at Asian Carmakers lang ang "local" kuno. Lahat ng members ahente lang ng foreign manufacturers. Wag na tayong umasa kina Ayala, Yuchengco, George Ty, Elena Lim---mga local na ahente ng mga foreign companies na ito na baka sakali ay magbigay sila ng loose change nila mula sa Billion dollars na kinikita nila sa mga Pinoy para magtaguyod man lang ng isang projekto para makagawa ng isang pinoy vehicle tulad ng Tsikot o MVPMAP PHUV.


Belat at Neknek natin sabi nila.Pag nagkagulo dito sa Pinas dahil sa kawalan ng trabaho at kahirapan...tatakbo lang yang mga yan sa China, Spain o U.S.A.


Tsk,tsk,tsk,tsk..poor ordinary pinoy like me.

*jpdm a.k.a. ordinary pinoy

thank you..very encouraging
let me show you a shadow of one of my proposed PhUV design.

Yan ang Gusto ko!! Parang naka-Land Rover na Escape!!

sir Oyil, taga po nyo sa bato, dito sa Cavite, magugustuhan yan...Magmumukha kasing macho at pogi mga Cavite politician ...ooops... este... consumers nyan dito...

[jpdm]

Sana ilabas na ng MVPMAP ang improved PHUV prototype para at least ma-gauge uli ang market para sa PHUV at para ma-determine ng Tsikot PHUV designers ang appropriate design for the prototype--- na tanggap ng madla, of course...
Go Tsikot!Go PHUV!!!

From Cocktales...Money-go-round
• The Yupangco family, who used to run Toyota Bel-Air, is going back into car dealership, this time in partnership with the Chinese automaker Chery.
The more established dealers like the Lees of Universal Motors and the Coyiutos of Porsche/Audi/Nissan dealerships had balked at the Chinese-asking retail price of P350,000 for the 800-cc mini car, but the Yupangcos think they can break into the Korean and Japanese-dominated local market even at that price range.



Well, Chrysler, Daewoo, Proton, Volkswagen, Adam Opel, Hyundai, Fiat, Sangyong, Asia Motors failed to break the oligopoly. And even the established "local" Ford, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki and Kia are having a hard time breaking the dominance and tight grip of Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Isuzu and Nissan.


At 350,000 pesos, Chery will be hard put to wrestle the market. Our PHUV is safe because its targetting a different market.

The Subic second hand market is dying because they are nothing more but JUNKS!!!



I'm hoping that the PHUv will be able to duplicate the success of the local AUV in the past...so that the local domestic market will be resuscitated again. The AB market of CAMPI is not growing, and definitely it will not-- because the foreign dominated CAMPI has aliented itself from the Pinoy market.



Just like the enclave economy (freeport and EPZs), their market is volatile and very prone to global market fluctuations. With less that 20% of the local auto market, with limited links with the Philipine economy (puro CBU at imported ang binebenta), and with very expensive price tags-unreachable to ordinary Pinoys like me---no wonder CAMPI firms are losing their market to guerilla local assemblers and soon to die SUbic JUNK vehicle market....most likely these CAMPI member firms will die a natural death.

The Chinese invasions--led by Chery, Foton should not duplicate the folly of CAMPI--they should establish a local manufacturing base in cooperation with local assemblers if not--they follow the fotstep of Proton and Volkswagen etc.

GO PHUV!!!BE OUR GIANT BUSTER!!!!

From the Philippine star..

Auto sales shifts to high gear, zooms up 17.3% in first half
By Ma. Elisa P. Osorio
Friday, July 13, 2007 “The auto industry continues to shift to higher gear with double-digit growth of 17.3 percent compared to the same period last year, posting 54,259 vehicle sales for the first half of the year,” said Elizabeth H. Lee, CAMPI president.


On a month-on-month bais, sales was almost flat in June, selling 9,737 units as against the 9,693 units sold in May.
A distant second was Honda Cars Philippines Inc. with 15.9 percent while Mitsubishi Motors Philippines was third with 12.87 percent.
Data showed that there were more commercial vehicles sold in June than passenger cars. Commercial vehicle sales made up 66 percent of total sales while passenger cars account for the remaining 34 percent.
CAMPI and TMA explained that the popularity of using vehicles in business is catching on with sales of pick-ups, vans, and Asian utility vehicles (AUV) growing at a faster pace.

Toyota was the leader in commercial vehicle sales at 37.8 percent of the market as it sold 2,447 vehicles. Second was Mitsubishi at 17.96 percent or 1,163 units sold. Third was Isuzu Philippines Corp. a 11.35 percent or 735 units followed by Hyundai at 8.8 percent. Ford was fifth at 5.64 percent.




Indeed, there is a market for commercial vehicles like what the PHUV is targetting. So Go PHUV!!

Toyota expects Vios sales to hit 1,000 units a month By Elaine Ruzul S. Ramos
Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. expects sales of its all-new compact sedan Vios to improve between 1,000 and 1,200 units a month from the current 800 to 900 units.
Toyota president Hiroshi Ito told reporters the latest model of Vios, which was launched yesterday, would now be assembled out of its Sta. Rosa plant in Laguna unlike before when the units were imported as fully-built vehicles from Thailand.
“The volume production of Vios will start by the end of July. Initially, we will be producing less than 1,000 units per month, but during peak production, it should be around 1,500 units per month,” said Ito, adding that full production was expected in the fourth quarter of the year.
Toyota earlier decided to include Vios, its second best-selling vehicle next to the Innova of the innovative multipurpose vehicle line, in its list of locally manufactured vehicles, and import those not considered high-volume models as completely built-units.
Ito said the Vios to be completely assembled locally would serve the requirements of the domestic market. The Vios currently accounts for 39.4 percent of the total passenger car market.
Vios is also being sold in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan and the United States.
Ito said the local assembly of Vios would boost the output of the Sta. Rosa plant from 14,000 units in 2006 to about 18,000 units a year.
Toyota also locally assembles the Innova, its top best-selling vehicle, and the sedan Altis.




Wow, it seems these guys from the " bigboys" of CAMPI are reading Tsikot.



I just said CAMPI is not anymore into local manufacturing via CKD. Now , after Nissan thru UMC, said that they will into more manufacturing via CKD ,here comes Toyota......
