Which type of Pinoy vehicle?

[jpdm]

just my opinion. Gusto ko lang ma-phase-out (sana) ang mga lumang dyip.

Ako din.

Dapat kasi improve ang itsura at gawa ng dyipni.

Given the kind of environmental challenges motorists will be facing,
vehicles should be light enough to include or accommodate flotation devices.
We are an archipelago, with a long coastline, teeming with rivers, deforested,
with rains now all year round, and flood-prone.
If climate change becomes severe -- and you never can tell -- it might be wise
to start designing light amphibious vehicles that are "green" too.
This is the design challenge.
Not funny anymore.

This is an example of the kind of knee-jerk reaction why pinoys don't really progress. They do not plan for the future nor remember past events beyond what short term memory retains.

This bizarre and crudely made vehicle widely used by people living in far flung farming rural areas in the Philippines. Nueva Ecija and Pangasinan are known to produce this vehicle. And during the recent massive flooding in Pangasinan, this vehicle became handy in the streets of the province...



Kuliglig..

Amphibs have never truly been successful... we'll need innovation to make one that's actually affordable.

It's possible to make one with the resources we have locally... but, as ever, cost is the major problem.

Amphibian cars fail with civilians because of two things:

-amphibian cars are slow & clumsy on the road.
-amphibian cars are slow & clumsy in the water.

Yah! I agree sana ma phase out na yung design na yun. Actually hindi naman din sa atin nang-galing yung design ng jeepney natin. Sa military vehicle yun ng US nang galing, ginaya lang din. correct me if im wrong pero yan po kasi alam ko.

So... how about we do that "Wild Thornberries" type vehicle we were talking about? All we'll need is a quick-inflation device off of a life-boat (probably recharge it with an engine-run air compressor)... and that driveshaft attached propeller I was suggesting to you the other day.

We'll sell them to the government for 2m each... based on Crosswind XTis. I'll split the 800k profit with you on each unit.
