3rd electric national car! How to have cheap and profitable homegrown national car!

Posted by Speedy Boy > 2018-10-06 12:51 | Report Abuse

Okay, like Mr Koon always remind us, if it makes business sense then go ahead! Nowadays, Samsung no longer lead in producing latest innovative smartphones! Do you know why! Because Samsung is pouring all their money in producing superior parts! Even the bad parts are sold to other smartphone brands! No wastage at all! This is why Samsung continues to make tons of money! Likewise, South Korea also lead in electric car revolution! LG is world leader in lithium battery technology! Tesla get batteries from LG! And so do many electric car manufacturers! Eventually, South Korea do come out with their own electric car but the cost of producing their are much cheaper because the are source from the same parts which are sold to other manufacturers! I don't mind Malaysia coming out with our own electric car! But you must first become world exporters of electric car parts! If Malaysia become centre of electric car parts, eventually you can plug and play all this parts into our very own whole electric car! This is the best cost effective way to go! You don't produce the whole electric car first and force locals to buy them! It doesn't make business sense at all! Mahathir need to understand, business is business! You don't jump into a new venture not back by establish partners! Do you know Tesla got their technology from Toyota! That huge floor battery pack technology didn't came from Elon Musk! Toyota had this technology for a decade, just that Toyota don't dare to produce their own fully electric car! Tesla capitalized on Toyota technology! Tesla also capitalized on Panasonic superior battery chemistry! By combining Toyota and Panasonic, Tesla produce their Tesla S and X! And mind you, Tesla interior came from Mercedes! Tesla S borrow so many parts from others! In short, the new trend is all about producing parts! That's where the margin are!

In fact in automotive industry, thre's tons of opportunity in producing OEM parts Japan and South Korea brands! Yet Malaysia completely missing out! Why! Because our PM then was so short sighted, he only interested in producing Proton and Proton parts! What a dummy!

Proton should have use generic parts from Japan and South Korea! Instead of Proton vendors producing only Proton parts, this parts can actually compatible with any Japan or South Korea makes! It would have brought down the price and cost of Proton cars then!

More green parks for free exercise, cycling should be built to achieve cleaner air and healthier lifestyle. 3rd national bicycle projectat urban area is much better than polluting cars. we spend over myr20billion each year for healthcare cost. Majority local MY health is big concern to nation's productivity with so many fake Medical leave. wakaka

Govt.,s main focus is on policy making, not involved in any risky private enterprise. Why we never learn from past mistake? I thought new govt. will take the chance to do complete reform by privatising all business? our govt. intervene too much in private competitive business which leading to cronyism, blatant abuse of power?

After a failed effort to establish Proton and Perodua as an international brand, Might is now embarking on a new automotive project to make this ambition a reality.

The automotive industry is saturated and only the strongest will be able to compete and survive.

Less innovative ones are either taken over or merged with stronger ones.
