Are China car manufacturers (almost) catching up?

[DACH]

The possible way to encourage Carlite is to remove the brand of prestige on a car.

Make people think that a car is a washing machine so that people will not be so fascinated by cars.

This could potentially boost their efforts on reducing car population as people dump their cars by making it more difficult to drive a car in the city in particular

 

 

Use automation to reduce human staff

Use price advantage from high degree of automation to sell cars at rock bottom prices.

As such , the local car serves the world,not us only.

Carlite is seriously crap.

Why not reducing the human population instead?

It can help to alleviate the social problems associated with overpopulation instead.

 

If we really want to support local made cars, we should be looking into how to grow the levels of car population in line with the infrastructure. And making local made cars as competitive priced as possible.

There is no overnight success of locally made cars since we do not have the expertise. Tie up with a major car manufacturer and start slowly from there. This is how some of the China car brands establish themselves in the home market. And just like Proton tie up with Mitsubishi in Malaysia.

Agree,there are some people that disagree with Carlite and the people that support it are followers of the government or in the government.

 

Talking about us being late in the game, Turkey and Vietnam are also quite late...

But they have large populations...

 

Hypothetical question

If there is a car company to be set up, who could be our partner to work with?

It depends on how can we convince car company to invest with us.

What's our idea of new or improved technology to incorporate in the car or technology to improve the manufacturing process, how we can present a good marketing strategy not only to sell it in our country but export to other countries since our market is small.

Car lite is not crap.

 

Our land mass is 720km square.  If Singapore is a square, it is 24km x 30km.

 

As of 2014, there are already 3,500km of roads.  How much more roads can the island developed?

 

Currently, there are 5.6m residents with 611k vehicles.  That's 9.2 residents per vehicle.

 

This is a very high number considering that bigger countries has about the same numbers.

 

In additon, there are about 1.6m non-citizen/PR.  If we assume only 1% of this ppl owns car, no. of citizen/PR per vehicle would be more than 10.

 

Having tie-up is good at the beginning.  From thereon, investment in R&D is even more important.  That's what lacking in Chinese Manufacturers.  Unlike Germany/UK/italy, we lack of ppl who are passionate to get their hand dirty.  Parents tell Singaporean kids that blue collar work is BAD.

Just buy Lotus.

 

Lotus Engineering makes $$$$.

For a small country, we are seriously overpopulated and this has created more problems for the past years and creates more costs to be borne by the people.

With the kind of population density here, we are worse off than many countries. How to create sustainable living in the long run?

The price of overleveraging the economy for the past decade. In the end, people are burdened with higher living costs and there's no direction of what's ahead.

Want fast and cheap to make KPIs look good, people eventually lose out.

The land mass and resource limitation are reasons why carlite is an option to consider.

What is crap is the aristocrats who advocate carlite continue to enjoy the perks of car ownership while they continue to brainwash the dim witted into believing their ideology.

 

A smoker telling a non smoker not to smoke because smoking is harmful.

Why don't the smoker walk the talk?

So still advocating a big population density in a small country with space and resource limitations?

We won't last for another 2-3 generations. There is going to be more social problems in future due to overpopulation, than it is the past decade.

More expensive, smaller homes and cars, more unnecessary taxes etc, are signs telling us to stop overpopulating and overstretch our resources.

It depend very much on how you are looking at this issue. If you are filthy rich and doing business here, then this is a very good suggestion. You need not worry of labour and there is a market ready to absorb your products. If you find the squeeze which is rather unlikely since you live in a bungalow somewhere near orchard road, fly around the word to enjoy the cool weather of Christmas in London or enjoy the sea breeze in some resort island.  :a-happy:Driving around in a $1 million luxury car is very comfortable and where is the jam? Your driver will either drive you during the peak hours where ERP is the most expensive or when everyone else is busy at work. Country Clubs are not that busy you know. 

 

For those in the squeeze, too bad, even if you want out, nobody wants you.   So, it is all about you making decision how you want your and your next generations life to be. Obviously, you won't be looking at China made cars no matter how good they are lah.

Did any of the new ruling party MP impress you and base on what? I am not saying they are not or any of the opposition candidates that are good or bad. Most times, we do not have the opportunity to be exposed or have contacts with others and we think the walls are just around the well within.

 

From outside, we always think behind that wall things are perfect till you are among them. It is when you start to allow competition then you realize you have missed alot. 

 

The biggest flaws in the current system is our selection criteria. The direct entry need to change.
