Why is the steering wheel on the left side? |

Why are these things so expensive? I checked the prices and they're well over 20 grand, same price as a Civic! -- Last edit: 2021-06-07 20:01:26 |

You ask why these things are the same price compared with a mass produced grotbox. 1) How many parts are common with a mass produced car or motorcycle? 2) How many parts are special to the type? 3) How big is the total market? 4) How is the dealer network and warranty support organised and paid for? 5) How much more rugged are the engine/transmission/driveline parts considering the arduous duty cycle upon which these these things may be used? 6) Over how many copies is the cost of design, development, tooling and preparation for sale amortised? 7) Is there a special dealer network made necessary by the locations in which these things are sold? In summary, what is the total cost of sales including the ex works figure when on the dealership floor, and what is the expected gross margin? This is just a quick off the top of my head list, there may be other items that are not immediately obvious, like special arrangements for delivery. jfs - twenty plus years’ experience in the automotive industry as a commercial manager for a tier 1 supplier. -- Last edit: 2021-05-28 10:32:53 |

Originally in the case of my old employer we would make specials for any smaller concern but by the 1990s all the smaller business was transferred to a smaller outfit. It included some specific applications for Jaguar and Land-Rover. It all comes down to volumes, anything less than 50,000 a year becomes very expensive to make when the suppliers are geared-up for the mass-market volumes. An electric motor sold as OE for £7 or £10 bulit on automated equipment would cost over say £30 when only the armature was assembled and wound by machine. |
