The Standard People's Compact Vehicle (SPCV) commonly known as the People's Bean or the Cardboard Car is a compact car designed, manufactured and sold by the government owned Corummese Car and Automata Manufactory (COCAM). Conceived to be an inexpensive and cheap vehicle that could be bought and operated by the hundreds of millions of Corummese who could not afford a car in the 1960's, the SPCV car has been in continuous production since 1965, with an estimated 70 million circulating in a number of 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design has received upgrades as car technologies have evolved making it much safer and reliable than when it was originally made.
