First wood car made in Vietnam

October 19, 2012 by english.vov.vn

Le Nguyen Khang and his staff in HCM City have successfully produced a wood car, the first of its kind in Vietnam.

Construction of the open-top car which is 4.6 metres long and 1.8 metres wide started in April last year, he said.

High-tech parts of the car such as engine, gearbox, chassis, transmission system, and steering wheel which were imported from BMW German automaker, while other parts were manually made of wood by themselves.

Khang named the car “Achilles”, which he said can safely run up to 60 km/h and be used in restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and tourist resorts.

He expects to sell the car at US$25,000-26,000 and all the money will go to charities.
