martin_krpan 06-16-2008, 10:48 AM National Hardware selling China vehicles.
16.06.2008 - National Hardware has taken its sale of products to another level with the introduction of a new, competitively priced line of Chinese vehicles to Guyanese customers, the Government Information Agency (GINA) reported.
Prime Minister Sam Hinds and Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Manniram Prashad were among the first to witness the company’s new offering launched yesterday at its Lot 1, Ruimveldt Industrial Site location.
Among those present were Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company Edward Boyer, private sector representatives and members of the diplomatic community.
According to the company, the vehicles which are sold at affordable prices to Guyanese customers, include Fudi single and double cab pickups costing about $1.9M duty free), SUVs and JAC freight trucks (costing about 2.6M duty free) fitted with Isuzu and Toyota engines. According to GINA, Hinds lauded the CEO of the company for the intervention, noting that it is one of many ways Guyanese in a developing nation can secure products and services within their financial reach.
Hinds was optimistic that the new vehicles which have been imported from China will find a ready market. He also challenged the CEO to explore the idea of introducing vehicles suited to the rural conditions.
The Minister was also optimistic that the vehicles will be sold “like hot cakes,” as they are already popular in Colombia and neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago.
“This is what the private sector is doing for Guyana. I would like to say that we have a strong and vibrant private sector, considering where we came from… people must understand where the private sector has emerged from and they are getting stronger and stronger,” Minister Prashad said.
Boyer’s idea of introducing such vehicles to Guyana followed his many “comfortable” experiences while travelling in a Fudi vehicle around China. He added that acquiring the vehicles was not an easy task but he was determined after comparing the quality of the vehicles to the other brands.

Does anyone know how many vehicles Fudi produces and sells annually?
dragin 08-14-2009, 10:34 AM Little Foday Auto keeps on truckin, right in the midst of all the global big guys. There hasn't been a lot of change over the years but this Lion model does have a new grille and a bold looking new instrument panel as well. Nice upgrades.
It looks a lot like the Zahav truck we saw here recently. Could it be that like Iranian Zamyad, they too are getting their trucks from Foday?
btw I'm sure that one day soon Foday will get those clutch and brake pedals to line up with each other.

diesel engine is from great wall, 2.8 TC,it's good and reliable, also it don't spend so much fuel
dragin 11-20-2010, 10:04 AM I do like the bold look at front Micodelija. It calls to mind the Great Wall Voleex C10 aka Lingao.
But from the A pillar to the C pillar I don't see a change to this short wheelbase, full frame Fudi.
It's interesting that now Fudi is using an engine sourced from Great Wall to whom it supplies bodies.
qqqqbobo 12-09-2010, 02:11 AM good pick-up and SUV. but in China road very less see this brand vehicle, especially in North area of China.
dragin 12-09-2010, 01:31 PM Hi qqqqbobo,
Welcome...
The Fudi models are there but the northeast manufacturers change the nose and the tail, so they look totally different.
Chrislin 12-11-2010, 01:21 AM In China,most people prefer cars like sedan and sallon.Fuel consumption is very expensive and high tax for bigger displacement.
People in China seems not prefer pickup much,and we are also strange that pickup is very popular in foreign countries.Maybe different countries have different consumption habbit.
In general,SUV has higher fuel consumption,cost will be added in China,and small displace cars are becoming popular in China likely.

martin_krpan 08-20-2011, 02:12 PM Force Motors, the maker of Traveller minibuses and the Trax utility vehicle, has taken a whole new direction and moved upwards into the passenger car space with its all-new Force One. Here are our first impressions after driving this Scorpio and Safari challenger.
On the looks front, the Force One’s boxy design looks quite outdated and not in synch with the modern shapes customers expect from SUVs these days. Though the overall shape is inoffensive, the small glass area and horizontal lines give it a 1990s look. A quick search on Google further explains that Force One’s design language is inspired by the Explorer III, a Chinese SUV that finds a mention in Guangdong Foday’s product portfolio.
The Force One uses the same body panels as the Explorer III; they are imported directly from China for assembly in Force Motors’ Pithampur factory in Madhya Pradesh. The chassis, however, has been designed completely in-house. It is based on a sturdy-looking C-in-C ladder frame that supports an independent, coil-sprung, double-wishbone setup up in the front and a non-independent, multi-link suspension at the rear. Force Motors roped in Lotus Engineering UK to fine-tune the chassis and even set up the vehicle specifically for the 235/70 Apollo Hawkz all-terrain tyres it comes shod with.
Power comes from Mercedes-Benz’s 2.2-litre, OM611 common-rail engine that meets BS IV emissions norms and makes a Tata Safari-rivaling 139bhp and 32.6kgm of torque. It drives the rear wheels via the Mercedes-Benz G32 five-speed manual gearbox.
At 4.8 metres, it is a considerable 400mm longer than a Scorpio. And with a wheelbase that’s 345mm longer than the Mahindra, the Force One promises to be very spacious inside. Get into the SUV and you will find the driving position very much similar to the Ford Endeavour’s, thanks to the high floor. The second row seats have Skoda Superb-rivaling legroom and good headroom. But the floor is high and so, thigh support is compromised. The third row too has plenty of kneeroom but again headroom here is quite compromised. It has reasonable space for luggage even with all seats up.
Plastic quality is decent but there are quite a few panel gaps. The air-con controls work well and Force Motors is particularly proud of the 76 features the car comes standard with. It also has air-conditioning for all three rows, a trip computer, a service schedule indicator, electric mirrors, remote locking, projector headlamps, daytime running LEDs and an audio system.
Twist the key and the Mercedes-Benz engine settles into a rather refined idle. Peak torque kicks in at 1600rpm and the engine pulls well all the way to its 4150rpm redline. There is a hint of lag but once the turbo kicks in, performance is sprightly. The only issue is with the gearbox, which needs strong triceps to operate and this is something Force Motors desperately needs to improve.
On smooth roads, the Force One seemed well planted with not too much body roll around corners. But it does feel a tad softly sprung, displaying some pitching over the bumps in the off-road section. That said, you can confidently hammer over bad sections and it feels a lot more stable than a Scorpio.
Force Motors has launched the Force One in only one trim level – the fully loaded variant comes for an asking price of Rs 10.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Given the long list of features, it may seem like good value and there’s no doubt that the SUV scores well in some key areas. It is big, very spacious and underpinned by an indigenously developed chassis which promises decent ride and handling.
But what Force Motors needs to do now is concentrate on bringing the rest of the car up to speed, especially on the fit-and-finish front. The Force One is a good first attempt but to cut it as a serious Scorpio/Safari rival it still has some way to go.
