CambYoCar: first car to be designed and built in Costa Rica [VIDEO]

"To Change the World We Have to Change the Car"
Consider That Most Developing Countries import far more used cars than new ones, then Become slaves to expensive imported fuel and imported parts. Expensive electric cars from the big companies mean very slow change, if ever, Because They Will take many years to "trickle down" to the masses, and replacement batteries and parts will always be expensive. So gasoline cars will continue to glut the system for decades, Unless we do something radical. Our campaign is to change the world with a "Model T of Electric Cars" - not for everybody but for enough people to make a REAL difference. The difference is NOT just that it is electric but it can be That built in small shops or by Individuals anywhere, independent of the petrodollar system and mega-factory enslaves That Hundreds of millions of people.CambYo World, or World Change, Both is our name and our project's goal, a car from the 99% for the 99%. Future variations are planned, including four wheel drive pickup, three wheel, and sports versions.

Electric cars can be much simpler than gasoline or diesel cars. Of course ours will not be for everybody at first. If you would like to see an electric Tata Nano you will love our CambYo CR. And if you do we hope That Hundreds of millions or tens of others will, enough to make a difference, and start real revolution in power to the people. Our plan is to make plans, kits and / or completed cars available as Most appropriate to each market, patent and license our important improvements, and strike a new balance of sustainability in personal and family transport. We have some exciting plans we are Investigating marketing. We will franchise simple and efficient factories worldwide to make a REAL difference Quickly taking advantage of the local investments, labor, and business expertise. Kind of like the McCar for the masses ... the electric automotive paradigm shift That the world needs. Compared to the multinational companies That car market cars are so complex That That They only can do it, that's a new and exciting business model.
