Firm will mostly design the parts to be used. and parts will be manufactured by finnish subcontractors. At first I propably have to do the assembly stuff also. How ever the kits will will be so easy to assemble that anyone can do it with the included instructions.
SG will be also in my category. and also basic driving lessons.
First show car will be VW Lupo 3L
Target is to get it going 100MPG at steady state driving, so without P&G...
I dont know if you know, but I am a automotive engineer, currently working at valmet automotive R&D department. So i have quite good knowledge of part designing and manufacturing methods. Also I have good contacts to firms that can produce automotive parts.
If you can save 1€ every 100 km and the parts cost 50€ then it will only take 5000km to get even.
Average car age finland is 10 years so people are driving the same car long time, maybe average 200000km so basicly what if you are able to keep the kit part price under 300€ you would save 1700€.
Also the fuel prices will rice even more and also they are starting to tax more cars which pollute more, so basicly the fuel prices will rise even more. currently fuel petrol costs 5.3€/ gallon. About 70% of that is pure tax!!!. plus every yearly payed car taxes about 400-700€ per year based on your car "EPA" figures.
What I am saying that driving is more expensive here at europe
. So people can save more money on ecomods.
