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

KRO MP2MS

KRO presents, from Kazakhstan to Anikatia, the MP2 in MS trim. All available MS’s are being sold to you, due to export issues. With a 2L inline four, this is the best mass-movement taxi, moving 8 people with relative ease. 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

While I also flirted with the idea of a van for replacing the jumbo taxis, or a premium car to be offered as a deluxe taxi, I ultimately went for the more pragmatic approach of replacing the general taxi fleet with something much newer more efficient and affordable, leaving enough cash in the budget to sell of the oldest vehicles in the rest of the fleet - although my car turned out to be cheap enough for over 3000 of them to replace the whole fleet. Fingers crossed that the low-cost approach pays off…

$18850 (at 30% markup)

A mid-range model of the Tauga, aimed at replacing the general taxi fleet, though the more premium feel of the car may make it suitable to fill in as a deluxe taxi too.
