Tsikot.ph PHUV Prototype

[safeorigin]

now i applied modernized filipino aesthetics. i made the hood, the rear and front lamps jeepney-like but in a modern way. note that the grille is shaped like a native pinoy shield. add the emblem then we have a very original design.
this one is a family PhUV.

[safeorigin]

this one functions as a mass transit PhUV. note that it has split-type doors. provided with a wide chassis, the passenger capacity can be 12-18.

if my military jungle crawler ain't good enough, i made a PhAPC just for pinoys. includes a sliding shield for added safety during deployment. cool eh. wahahaha

well yeah, i saw your sketch before. well, i did some changes in my sketches. i read a book about american car designs and used their procedure in making concepts cars. it goes like this, we need to apply: functionality, words and cultural values in our design. what i meant on words is first you describe what kind of vehicle we're making. is it conservative or confident; aggressive or non aggressive; relaxed or sturdy? put all of these together and youcan come up with a vehicle that gives a message to its buyer. this is the same process that ford uses.

i used cultural values in a way that it shows what pinoys are like. the jeepney style hood and headlamps are good examples of expressing it. there is also an advantage in it. by making slight modifications in what present jeepney manufaturers produce, mass prodution of the body wont be too difficult.

and if pinoys can make an APC, surely we can make a PhUV.

well said architect. :thumbsup:

i agree with you, absolutely! tsikot.com is fully behind this worthy endeavor and will provide whatever support, help and assistance this community can humbly give.

Thanks for the kind and encouraging words. Even though we all know the tsikot PhUV project might be a pipe dream that we are pursuing, still if we do not actually exert the effort to try and fulfill it, we will never know what we are truly capable of achieving.

At the same time, it has been both enlightening and heartwarming to discover that we have pertinent world-caliber expertise within the tsikot group capable of undertaking such a project, or at the very least, pave the first few miles of the road for others to continue.

If in the process, we manage to change the mindset of a few individuals right here in tsikot, then I would say the efforts will be worth it, regardless of the end results.

Then..the PhUV design should embody the pinoy characteristics....in words, to comply with the FORD process..
1. CONFIDENT...it has to, stand alongside other makes with the same level of poise...design-wise.
2. NON-AGGRESIVE...clean..pero merong ipagyayabang....like sleepers..nasa loob ang kulo. hindi masyado standout..madaling i-blend sa normal crowd. pero pag pinakialaman ni A-toy, best-in-show!
3. relaxed o sturdy?? dapat pwede pang sosyalan (ang itsura, di iisnabin), pwede rin sa putikan(macho, bad boy).


dapat gawin nating fashion statement din..pang bagets...para after 3 years...paglabas ng next generation....papalitan na ...para "in" pa rin ang mga bugoy.

Hi Lio,

Considering that the lifespan of local cars typically range from 10 to 15 years, the PhUV's design should ideally be classical enough as to keep in pace with newer styling innovations.

If you think about, there are certain cars whose styles have remained consistent but up-to-date through the years - Porsche, VW Beetle, MB, Jeeps, etc. And even if their newer models essentially look the same, these brands continue to thrive in the market because of other innovations.

Actually local jeepneys have the same obsolescence-proof design but perhaps it is more due to lack of innovation and an de facto lower standard of acceptance by the public. Still it can't be denied the jeepney does share some lines with the Jeep.

Thus, it only goes to show that classical lines in design do not necessarily imply higher costs. It may help to take this into consideration in designing our PhUV.

BTW, have you gotten in touch with donbuggy? I think he is also based in Singapore.
