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. | ||

| | | [[Daxia]] is the largest current operator of the SPCV with up to five million units still in operation. Manufacturer [[COCAM]] still maintains several facilities geared towards the limited production of the SPCV and its components. Replacement parts are still plentiful due to the millions of broken down SPCV's in existence. The '''People's Bean''' is still a very popular and cherished automobile and seen as a demonstration of Daxian ingenuity and culture . | ||

SPCV's would continue to be sold to the Metzettan market until late 1988 when demand saw a sharp decline due to Metzetta's expanding native automotive industry. Out of 50,000 imported in total only 8000 or so are still operational today due to the model's poor reliability and inadequate rustproofing. | ||

|The Acirian government was one of the first to acquire several lots of the SPCV for a government program to increase car ownership in the middle and lower classes. Only around 7000 are thought to remain in working order. | |||

|The SPCV was exported to [[Pelaxia]] in limited numbers. A 1981 agreement stipulated that Pelaxia's Saddlebred automobile producer would build the car under license with the name of '''El Cevé'''. The majority of SPCV's currently on Pelaxian roads are those manufactured locally. | |||
