The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

It’s necessary for a “brand” that has never officially existed in a lore. Well it does exist, but very obscure.

Time for LLA to enter the ring…


The 2001 LLA Incogness LuxeTax


As part of the 2000 - 2001 Redesign of LLA’s Lineup the all new Incogness offers a smooth 5 speed manual paired with a 1.6L v6 Twin Turbo producing a sensible 106 Hp. Furthermore with LLA’s Air suspension an adjustable ride height allows for navigation on the toughest of city streets without scraping the bumper. With 5 seats the LuxTax variant offers plenty of room for use as a general taxi that is also safe thanks to a new advanced safety system. In continuation suicide doors allow easy access to the rear seats of the vehicle making this perfect for usage of a taxi. On a final note the LuxeTax also offers reliability and efficiency, with a maximum efficiency of 9.14 L/100 Km and a reliability score of 70.5.


Under LLA’s new city planning sceme we offer to replace all Genral Purpose Taxi’s and add another 900 to the fleet, that’d be 2000 for $26.8m which leaves enough to update the Premuim or Jumbo Taxi Lineup too.

Could you clarify what this means? Do we have to explicitly specify a ‘strategy’ or it is inferred from the vehicle provided? Considering only one vehicle can be submitted, do they compete in all three ‘markets’ automatically, or do vehicles have to be strictly focused on one market? Are all three markets equally viable, or is it a gamble to decide which an entrant should target? Etc.

Good question, well the age and number of vehicles and the total number of seats are all there for you to consider. The company wants to maximise profits.

You should specify what your vehicle is intended to replace and preferably how many vehicles your plan offers. A vehicle that manages to balance all three segments would be the ideal but difficult approach.

A key aspect of the challenge for any entries is if it can replace the aged and outdated fleet vehicles. For example, all pre-1990s vehicles are carburetted and really should be replaced as most don’t meet current standards for emission and fuel economy.

So in a sense, all three markets can be equally viable assuming you can replace the outdated stock regardless of its category. You will be defining if the company is moving towards deluxe, jumbo or general taxis as the bulk of its fleet.

You can choose to keep the current ratio or shift towards any of the three markets. Procurement officer Lee Eun-ji will then decided if you have chosen poorly or chosen wisely.

Capitalism is coming to Anikatia. Therefore it is only appropriate that your people should live like capitalists. Bring a taste of the West home with the new…

Cresge Halberd


A prominent tractor company in the 1920s, Cresge entered the automotive market in 1946 and has never looked back

The Halberd is the latest model from Cresge designed for use as executive fleet vehicles. The luxury, low fuel consumption, durability, and reasonable price make the Halberd an ideal choice for a taxi service.

The Halberd features ample room for passengers to stretch out in comfort as well as exceptional cargo space in the trunk. Whether your a corporate executive on a business trip, or a mere fisherman going from point A to point B. The Halberd is accessible to all. At a price of $18300, you could purchase 2185 units for your fleet. With this car in your fleet your definition of mainline and deluxe will easily merge.

Please note that the vehicle being delivered does not include decals or “Taxi” beacon.**

You can replace your entire standard fleet for $12.1m.

**Mainly because I never released the Taxi pack. :open_mouth:

Is any conceivable advantage conferred by coming under budget but not replacing all of the vehicles in any of the markets, or is coming under budget not rewarded at all (should spend as much of the budget as possible)? Also, is the total fleet size fixed?

I have made a short, time period correct advertisement for all of you to enjoy :wink:

https://youtu.be/ZP1R259p3nI (P.S. the quality is terrible on purpose)

Also, I propose that the General Fleet be replaced by the Chesterfield Mk 1B and that the Deluxe Fleet be replaced by the Chesterfield Mk 1L (a different trim).

Business Plan:
General taxis:
1 100 currently in service
-Replace all for $13 310 000 total [12100(1100)]

Deluxe taxis:
372 currently in service
-Replace all for $7 700 400 total [20700(372)]

Replacing the current fleet (excluding minivans) would therefor cost $21 010 400.
That leaves about 40% of the budget left, optionally one could add another 1 100 general taxis for another $13 310 000.
It would then amount to $34 320 400. The operational costs of using one base and engine are a lot lower than that of the current fleet therefor also making it economically sustainable…

Cheerio

Each minibus is being sold to you for the low, low price of 10,800, this allows for the replacement/addition of 3,703 taxis.

MY2001 Bogliq Bastion Taxi

Bogliq Automotive Engineering would like to help AYMKO Taxi Co. with your fleet issues. We propose that you purchase a total of 2600 Bastions at $13,300 AU’s each ($34,580,000 total) which will replace both your general taxis and your deluxe taxi fleet.

This will leave you free to retire all of your minivan fleet and use the $5million to purchase a smaller, more targeted, fleet of modern minivans alongside staff re-training so that the minivans aren’t wasted on single passenger callouts.

Bogliq is willing to go the extra mile and purchase one of Anikatian’s automotive brands and local production capacity so that your fleet investment will keep the Nationalistic flame of Anikatia from sputtering out during these uncertain times…

Buy better, buy Bogliq
