this is OT...
pero kasama na yung importation na yan...killed the industry....pero if I recall it right, I was a student in college way back mid 80's...the san pablo laguna jeepney industry was at a high....lumabas ang mga AUVs (revos etc) ng 90's and lumabas ang imported secondhands ng late 90's-2000s...this 2 made production of jeepneys dwindle.
in fact, those jeepneys produced in pampanga during the late 90's had to have lights and hood designs of modern car para lang maging mabenta...
Should the PHUV have a flat panel look to be easier to make but which the public may not want? Or should it have a morve curvy style - harder to make (more expensive machinery in the production process) but appealing to the eyes?
Here are drawings of vehicles which have complex curves. CAR-2 is a city car.
And drawing number h-3 changed to car-1 as requested.

in case Pinoys would like three wheelers, this might solve the problem. ofcoarse with a dash of pinoy owner type jeep modern lamps.![]()
I start with pencil and paper, then I use CorelDRAW. But these drawings can be done in any 2D drawing software such as the one in MS Word or in OpenOffice (which is free). Another freeware is Inkscape. http://www.inkscape.org/
The advantage of using a 2D software is that guidelines (for perspective) can be drawn on a separate layer and items such as the wheels can be reused for other drawings by copy and pasting. Colors with gradients can be added to make it look realistic.
Interesting three-wheeler. Similar to a Grinnall ( http://www.grinnallcars.com/ ) but in a way better than that three wheeler because safeorigin's design has a roof. They both have the correct layout (two wheels in front and one at the back) for high speed and safety. The other layout (two wheels at the back, one wheel at the front) is for low speed and heavy loading.
How do you add an air-conditioning system to the motorcycle engine? One possible solution: use a hybrid vehicle's air-con because the compressor is run by an electric motor (not by the usual belt to the engine). Pero wala pang hybrids dito sa Pinas.
The three-wheeler will need an electric reversing mechanism. Wala kasing reverse gear ang motorcycle.
My comments about the design: IMHO the front end is a mess and the fenders are too big.
Safeorigin, will you allow me to clean up and redraw your design? I humbly request your permission.
Sure as long as you can turn the gun around and shoot stupid drivers with blinding lights. j/k.
OT RANT: Just earlier this evening, I was on Mabini towards Wilson when a guy on a motorcycle (ZJ 7246) behind me suddenly turned on his light. It was blindingly bright that I was momentarily blinded. I had to brake abruptly as I couldn't see in front of me. The guy turned off his light and I moved forward. He turned it back on again, blinding me again. Again I braked abruptly. He turned it off and moved to the right lane and turnd it on. The car in front slowed down immediately. Why he has to installed a blinding bright light and risk the ire (and safety) of other motorists is beyond me. The fact that both he and his female passenger were without safety helmets somehow did not surprise me.
Redundant post deleted. Something weird is happening. The system seems to be regenerating my last post on its own.
