I saw similar cars like this in the US caled Smart Car. Though it cannot drive on a big highway but it can drive outside the highway. Save gas and save space for parking. Very good job.

Q: How does one open the car's door? How does one shield oneself from sun and rain and wind, etc. How damage proof is the car when it gets in an accident? How many miles does it go and how much can it carry?

sure you don't mean to translate his word as automatic? No cars open telepathically. He probably said automatic doors.

Congratulation! Some question: Is the Engine designed by you or you just " take" other car engine?
Is it Evironemntal friendy car?

If your car also use petrolem, It's not useful to launch it.

I think 1:54 made a very good point. How can a car's doors be open "telepathically". Impossible scientifically! I think the writer misquoted or mistranslated the inventor's word.

Well. Why bother with opening it telepathically? Why just think where one wants to be and SAVE THE THE PLANET!

Khmer are just plain ignorant.

First of all: Great Job!!! Keep it up!!! It is perfect timing environmental stage to think GREEN for the size of the vehicle; but I think the inventor should spend more time for room, safety and efficiency in his design.

Any individual, private sector and especially the government can support this man by doing their small part to order his cars. It is the patriotic thing to do. Once he can go into production, not yet mass production, his will be able to produce at the cheaper price and more of everything to ride. It's a start!!! I congrats him and wishing him the best...

whoever criticize this geneous guy can't even cook his own food. He is one of the pioneer of cambodia car. Even he uses other manufacturer's car engine. At least he can put thing together to form the car.

Congratulation for your accomplishment and hope Khmer people will buy your car for sure. For ordinary people they will buy it because they can afford it.

when it breaks down, you will never find compatible parts to fix it. Put it for Taing Tok.

Anonymous said...

true for anything that breaks apart. that's why i mention to put into assembly line so more parts can be made. of course, look to borrow or copy ideas from cars manufacturers out there like honda, toyota, etc... i'm sure when they first started, it was like this too! so, who to say! something has gotten to start somewhere, somehow!

Anonymous said...

the way i see it is that it was made in cambodia by a khmer person. that is something to be proud of. this man has a huge potential, and i'm sure more khmer would have potential too when given the opportunity to blossom! god bless him and cambodia.

hey, even partnering up like car manufacturers countries out there like japan, the USA, EU, etc, maybe they take interest in reproducing this first brand khmer innovated khmer. i'm sure it is nice on the roads of cambodia and more! yes, very similar to "smart car" in the USA. i suggest he contact or get an agent to help him to discuss deal with car manufacturers in japan or USA or EU and so forth. try it, it won't hurt to try! khmer say: tok eiy neung dei, tlai eiy neung mot!" good philosophy to live by in business. i see huge potential for success! best of luck!

yes, successful people are very persistent, and take a lot of risk. of course, first try might fail and fai many time, but do learn from the failure and improve it always. it says it was easy. otherwise, everybody would do it! anyway, be persistent and don't ever give up. talk to more and more and more people. do not limit your networking. it take business skills, too like marketing skill. however in business, be honest to customers and consumers, because if you cheat or scam them once, trust me, they will never ever buy your stuff again the second time and words spread fast in business. so, build a solid, practice by swearing honesty, integrity and always listen to the customers. in business, customers are kings and queens, etc... trust me, if you can do this, you will be very successful. it's all about trust and reputation in business world. god bless. don't forget me when you are successful!

It's gooder for him to give it sam-ach Hun Sen, so he can show off and tell the whole world that under his mirky leadership at least one Khmer can make a car. Man, almost two hundred years lagging behind all the developing countries.

It's a good start for a khmer automobile. This car is better than a Smart . I will buy one for my ride in Phom Penh.

That's what happen to us Khmer. We hardly or never give the guy encouragement or proud of him, instead we insult him. Please don't do that. And you wonder why Cambodia is not moving ahead. At least this guy pitched in the initiation. In USA back then their government helped Henry Ford to mass produce the ford in a lot of number. And this is the way our government should try to find sponsors to give this a hand.

Keep up the good work uncle!!

Can it be compatible with Nano India, which costs about 2000$? For years, We Khmers have been excited Angkor 1 or 2,but this looks very little hopeful and practical, unless we have our own or joint-venture of a car factory and R&D team. Angkor seems a cut and paste and awkward work: Just like 1900s cars in 2009.KhOpen,

Mr Nhean Phaloek should patent his invention quickly before Siam steals his design as it did Preah Vihear and other Khmer properties.
