IV.Obstacles &
Barriers
32/40
Cultural barriers
Reluctance to change from
• Interlocutors
• Professionals
• Manufacturers
• Institutions
Government barriers
Rigidity and complexity of
domestic standards
Financial barriers
Need for funding due to
• The size of the company
• The nature of and duration of
the project
Monopolistic behavior of
manufacturers in the transport
market (relayed by the
institutions).
Technical barriers
Solved:
Increase the engine efficiency to
match urban expectations
Very low temperatures
Systems & engine control
