Colin Watters:
You must distinguish the specific situations if you want to make a serious analysis.
One thing is to make a new car or a new electronic device in the context of an already
well consolidated industry that already produces massively cars or electronic devices.
A completely different situation is to make an industry to produce massively a new apparatus starting from zero.
By the way, your information is very particular, because the CEO of one of the major car manufacturer of the world told me that to put on the road a new concept car it takes between 10 and 20 years ( from a consolidated car manufacturer ).
Warm Regards,
A.R.
(emphasis added)
Realy?! It takes 10 to 20 years?
e.g. from a mayor car company:
Golf I (Typ 17) (1974–1983)
So, the development of the Golf Modell 1 startet in 1964? Or in 1954?
Golf II (Typ 19E) (1983–1992)
Golf III (Typ 1H) (1991–1997)
Golf IV (Typ 1J) (1997–2003)
Golf V (Typ 1K) (2003–2008)
Golf VI (Typ 1K) (2008–2012)
Golf VII (Typ AU) (2012- ...)
Today, the average time for a car sold to customers in Europe is 7 to 8 years incl. facelifts. Normally, facelifts are done 4 years after the SOP.
Development of a car from concept to Start of Production (SOP), incl. the production lines and really EVERYTHING) takes about 4 years.
I'm doing automotive development since 20 years for mayor car companies and it really hurts me, to read such nonsense
The time to market (SOP) of the QX may of course be much longer, because of the new materials that have been invented
by Dott. Rrossi. And also this sooooo complex PSU problem. And the certification of an unknown nuclear for industrual use.
Uhhh, that will take time and MONEY!
