Standard People's Compact Vehicle

The Standard People's Compact Vehicle (SPCV) commonly known as the People's Bean or the Cardboard Car is a two-engine compact car intended for four occupants. Designed, manufactured and sold by the government owned Daxian Car and Automata Manufactory (DACAM). The republican government of Qiu Heng saw the need for a cheap, simple and inexpensive car that could be bought and operated by the hundreds of millions of Daxian who could not afford a car in the 1960's and that would be able to take advantage of the growing Daxian road network. Military engineers under lead designer Chen Dou began work in 1963 and the final schematics were done by early 1965. The SPCV car has been in continuous production since 1965, with an estimated 80 million produced and with at least 5 million still circulating in Daxia and a number of adjacent nations in Alshar. The SPCV is especially ubiquitous in the streets of Mirzak where it is used predominantly as a taxi. The original design has received numerous upgrades as car technologies have evolved making it much safer and reliable than when it was originally introduced.
