PHNOM PENH, March 21 (Bernama) -- A local Heng Development Co., and a Hong Kong-Chau Leong Enterprise on Monday signed a joint- venture of US$20 million to build a electric-powered car manufacturing plant branded 'Angkor' in Cambodia, reports Xinhua news agency.
The agreement was inked among Sieng Chan Heng, director general of Heng Development Co., Li Yue Liang, director general of Hong Kong-Chau Leong Enterprise, and a Cambodian innovator Nhean Phaloek, witnessed by Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam On.
Of the US$20 million joint venture, Heng Development Co., holds 80 percent while Hong Kong-Chau Leong Enterprise holds the rest, said Sieng Chan Heng during the signing ceremony.
"The establishment of the electric-powered plant will be an opportunity for Cambodia to show the world about the works of Cambodia by Cambodian people," she said.
"We hope the Angkor-branded cars will be supported by local customers and in the future, we will expand our sales to overseas markets."
The plant is being built on the land area of 47,000 square meters in Takhmao district of Kandal province, generating 300 jobs. It will be capable to produce between 500 units to 1,000 units a year, with raw materials and spare parts from China, she said, adding that the first production will be available early 2012.
Li Yue Liang, director general of Hong Kong-Chau Leong Enterprise, said that the establishment of the car plant will contribute to the development of Cambodian economy in the long term.
"We hope the government will fully support us in this car production as it will contribute economic growth and reduce poverty," he said.
"The electric-powered car will be environmentally friendly."
Ith Praing, a secretary of state for the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Energy, said that the plant will also bring technology transfer from Chinese technicians to local technicians.
"This will be the first car production factory in Cambodia," he said. "The electric-powered cars will help to reduce environmental pollution and reduce reliance on the usage of hiking oil," he said.
The car models and designs will be created by Cambodian innovator Nhean Phaloek.

Everyone is a copier math, science, air plane, nuclear, computer, you name it. If you know how to copy for your country economy, it is much better than stealing from the people or begging from other countries.

11:52 and 12: 13am, nobody is forcing youe idiots to buy the car. The point is Khmer is starting to make cars. Why don t you go ask the Japanese about their cars when they first started to build them? And you think the American cars were safe to drive when it was first introduced to the public? What an idiot!! Thai boys, they need to learn more about how things get started.
Khmens are number one stealing and still copying from other, we will not let khmen continue to steal our Kao Pra Viharn!

I think, you don't have much courage to go to Surin and tell the Khmer Surin, that the Khmer steal Preah Vihear from Thai.
Most of the stupid comments are made by Thai ladyboys. They are mad because Khmer has something good going for them. You know how Thai people are, full of Jealousy!!
We shouldn't be mad at them. They are already mad at themselves for not producing any real things. They like to walk around stealing other people's culture and claimed as theirs.
when Khmer starts to do mess production on the car they are going to tell the world that Thai teaches Khmer how to build cars. Shouldn't surprise us anymore.
For now they are busy trash talking about Khmer. Let them be. We will get the last laugh.
Khao Pra Viharn wast built for Thai poeple only, you khmen steal and robbed from us...We want you khmens out of Phu Makhue Mt. and out our lands...
I would rather buy Vang Srey Sex a under-pants instead!

fucken thai! Wake up! Thai were refugees at the time Preah Vihear Temple was build by Khmer kings.
They lived and served Khmer kings. Later the grand father of fucken Ram Kamhaeng who stole Khmer scripts, conduct uprising against Khmer rulers then called themselves Thai which means thieves of Khmer lands including Bangkok.
Check your history fact you ass hole thai. Even some of your royals are Khmer decendents.
For quick ref just Wikipedia under Khmer or Ram Kamhaeng or por khun the rebelious thief of Al Tai refugees.
Thai King build pra viharn for Thai! Not Khmens?
"Thai lady boy"?
Most of them don't have the balls to admit that Thai men never build any thing for their country to brag about, let alone Preh Vihear.
They are good at lifting his skirt for pervert from western countries to screw them.

route? now, I think I know why!!
SHE MUST BE A "HE"
YAK YAK YAK YAK I'm gonna throw up, man!!
For those of you who made fun of this inventor, may be you guys learn to invent some things your self, some thing like tooth picks or chop sticks some thing like that, 'cause this inventor will be a multi millionaire soon.
Well here is a history: the first Japanese passenger car production in 1922 was a venture in a tie-up with the British automaker Wolsoley Motor Ltd.
And the first car production by Toyota was a modification of Chevrolet in 1936.
WHO`S EVER CRITIZIED IN THE CAMBODIAN`S MADE,GO SCREW YOURSELVE....ASSHOLE!.FOR YOU!,YOU NEVER..EVER SATISFY WITH THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLES MADE.YOU!...MOTHERFU#@&*#$...ONLY BEING HAPPY WITH THE VIET`S MADE..OR..THE SIAMES`S MADE.ALL OF YOU WILL BE BURNING IN THE HELL!!!.KEEP GOING FORWARD CAMBODIAN PEOPLES...,BUT MAKE SURE IN THE RIGHT WAY!.
Hey All,
At least give this guy a credit that he is willing to show the public that he can do it. Please stop the criticism!
Every countries in the planet always copy each other. Chinese has copy a lot of stuffs from US and outside their country. Look at what Chinese accomplished!!
I said we must support this guy to bring Khmer Pride up.
Khmer Jeayden, Si Sa Ket
Hello my cambodian friends!
Don't worry about stupids khun Thai/SiamesesPADThugs says...When we're Cambodian/Khmer are 100% pure Gold is still 100% pure Gold now around the world they knew where's Stupid Thai/SiamesesPAD Thugs came from....soon or later they can't get away from Khmer Surin especially Burmeses/Laosians and Thai Moslims will kick them out...!
Actually, copying isn't a bad thing. Chinese companies have been taking advantages of the lack of intellectual property rights in their country and have been doing that for years, all technology products, you name it, radio, cell phone, mp3 player, switch/router, computer, tv, and so on. It's good for developing countries to catch up with the technology. You simply take a founded idea and implement it in a slightly different way. Yet, it's quite challenging to master that. Imagine you have to build it from scratch...obviously not practical and feasible given the lack of human resources and capital.
Hi all,
I personally critiised the first comment. this guy is idiot and never happy with other who be able to show his capacity. this guy have no encouragement at all and one thing I can say in he should go to HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!! WHER YOU CAME FROME
Hey that fucken thai!
You said a thai king built preah vihear temple? But the actual king at the time was Khmer king who rule the thai ethnics.
FUCK ALL OF YOU KHMER! YOU GAIN NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF SHIT THAT RUN SLOWER THAN A TURTLE.
The government should help support this new budding company and the industry.
Guys please don't fall into Youn traps. Youn have many tricks. As much as I don't like Siems, but I hate Youn the most. Youn want us Khmers to fight with Siems so to take away our attentions from them. These posters are no ladyboys but Youn.

At least Nhean Phaloek is doing something and how about you?
Fuck shit! He just creat unsafe veshicle for cambodian people.
Electric car my ass, if it is practical Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hummer will make them long time ago! Unless he invented super power battery that the world has never been seen before! otherwise it is toy car!
To 3:53PM
Do you ever listen to yourself? The cars don't kill people! It is the people who use the car in irresponsible manner for disobeying the rule of the road that lead to traffic dead! Since Cambodia is dominated by small scooters or motor bikes and to have a car is much safer than say to ride a scooter or a bike!
I believe people must start somewhere to go where they want to go! And only then they can improve on it!
Now the car battery can have a range up 250 miles on a single charge and some batteries can take 30 minutes for a full charge.
of course, there are more to cambodia than you and i, really. god bless cambodia.
cambodia has got to start somewhere, somehow, you know. congrats, cambodia. keep up the good work! god bless our country cambodia.
i'm happy for cambodia.
next, cambodia will build much bigger and better cars, really! you don't have to buy it, but i will, ok! i support cambodia. god bless cambodia.
smart man, congrats! cambodia want more people like this man in the picture who built his own car! now, how many of us can do that, really! god bless him and his big dream for cambodia.
Unsafe veshicle for innocent cambodian people that is the case.
We can't support unsafe veshicle for selling to the public otherwise I can make shit car better than that too!
To 7:19AM
Just shut the fuck up! You make a better car? Have you start building it yet? Not yet? ahahhah
You are bragging too much! If you think riding electric car is unsafe and who is stopping you from riding your scooter called Honda Dream. ahahahahahhah
Oh what the fuck! These days dirt poor Cambodian people are brainwashed into riding a moped and a scooter and they think it is safe! But the fact is the fucken mopeds and scooters are more dangerous and deadly than any four wheels car!
For comfort the car even protect you from the rain, the thunder, the wind, and the dusty road and insects!
Ride a car and be civilized !!!!
yes, i'd rather ride in one of this car than a moped or cyclo bike or bicycle, ok! you can walk, if you prefer, i prefer ride in this car, ok!
