Here is another electric vehicle talkfest that may never eventuate without a Manono mining Licence
A new vision of producing new vehicles to renew motor carts in all transport sectors in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been adopted by the government, the transport minister said during his visit to Kin Motors on Thursday.
"We are part of a vision to renew all the car carts in the city of Kinshasa because it is time that we can have dapper new vehicles circulating in the city, in all sectors of transport, including public transit, and private," said the Minister of Transport, Communication and Opening Up, Marc Ekila Likombo, in the presence of his colleague from Industry, Julien Paluku Kahongya.
The two government personalities made this visit to the facilities of the company Kin Motors to accommodate the assembly plants of vehicles of the brand "Kin" made in Congo, as well as electric vehicles with several ranges that will be assembled in Kinshasa.
"We are particularly interested in this project because as part of the equipment of the companies Transco, Trans-Academia and Spirit of Life, it is time for all the currencies of the country to remain on site. We can also assign them to other emergencies of the Republic, "added Marc Ekila, before noting that this project is part of the vision of the Head of State Felix Tshisekedi, that of reviving the DRC in the concert of Nations.
Vehicles made in Congo must cost less than 10,000 USD
The price of these vehicles made in Congo, zero kilometers must cost less than 10,000 US dollars, revealed Julien Paluku Kahongya who argued that the arrival of Kin Motors, after Supreme Automobile / Mercedes-Benz, is in order to materialize the vision of the President of the Republic, Felix Tshisekedi.
This vision consists in resurrecting "Industrial Limete", by limiting the bill for importing vehicles.
The 2nd Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company "Kin Motors", De Oliviera, for his part, requested the installation of other vehicle assembly plants in the Maluku Pilot Special Economic Zone.
He said that this company will develop the automotive industry in the DRC and intends to create wealth and jobs in the country.

Naa id say its just the process. Not like AVZ can say, lets put a hold on progressing it for a week or two. Until an agreement is signed sealed and delivered and its withdrawn completely its all ahead full for the courts

What I am trying to say is that in future to be able to ship EV's the battery design has to be safer, ie progressing to solid state batteries is a natural progression.
Not only from the point of performance, but also from the point of safety.
I haven't bought an EV as yet, simply in my eyes the performance for me doesn't meet what I want from a car.
But that is not the issue here.
The issue here is safety and people will be forced to do things safer.
Yes solid state batteries are more expensive, still in early stage.
However Insurance companies are in future not going to cover car carriers full with cars with lithium ion batteries, the way it is done at this very moment. It is obvious that this will happen.
Same thing happened in 70's after a couple of tanker explosions and investigations, made people realise what was going on.
The result was that Inert Gas Systems became a standard piece of kit on tankers, to be used to maintain a positive inert atmosphere in the cargo tanks. Being it a lean or rich atmosphere, but outside of the explosive range, especially during certain operations.
Insurance companies simply will not cover ships, if the risk is too high.
Government regulations go hand in hand with Insurance Companies' rules.
ABS, Lloyds and DNV insurance companies' rules are in general stricter than Government rules.
Something similar will happen with Car Carriers and Car Ferries.
Cars on trains being transported through tunnels, like the Chunnel will be looked at in the same light.
Incidents/accidents do happen.
People learn to walk by falling and discovering that that hurts, at the end of the day it is better not to fall.
Give my best to your mate will pray tonight for his child ,, you are correct money never made my life any better

GO AVZ!!!!
Sure I get that
I just think going forward it will be something they look into from a safety perspective as part of the ongoing development of EV tech

GO AVZ!!!!

Processes in motion and still have to be played out in the normal fashion
Until the case is heard ...or....pulled

So it turns out there are two types of negotiation. The first is where the parties interests are largely aligned and people come together in good faith in search of a mutually-beneficial outcome. The second is where one or more parties present a veneer of seeking a good faith outcome, when in fact their real intent is self interest and delay. i.e. bad faith.
I’m fairly confident that history will show AVZ entered negotiations thinking it was founded in good faith, only to discover the reverse was true.
And besides, why were/are we negotiating anything when AVZ has met all the conditions for the issuance of the ML?

Reading between the lines AVZ management have been bullshitted to high heaven for years.
Now finally with a bullshit backstop in ICSID let's see what happens.
I feel like most holders and I daresay management will be eager to start putting the DRC government through the wringer and make them pay for their greed, incompetence and stupidity if something doesn't eventuate soon. And we'll be doing the people of the DRC a favour in the long run imo. 80% of them live in poverty regardless while the elites milk the country for their own personal gains. Any compensation will only be coming out of their pockets.
Enough is enough. Forgo some snacks now or cough up the billions...
Decisions decisions.

Agreed, let this be a lesson and case study for others. Start the court cases asap.
Ofcause the pussy runs the show always has, he will be getting a % of every single deal done its how it works. The problem is our so called 20 years experienced management STILL didn't get it.and in a nutshell that's why we are hear today. Jesus cong wanted 50 but he doesn't end up with 50 it's dispersed to the elites and he'll get a cut but our clowns being in country for 20 years didn't get that. Gobsmacking ignorance or just plain arrogance. Anyhow now we are in a crap shoot. imo through shit management.

GO AVZ!!!!
BoD playing a straight bat
No shortcuts
No bribes
No backhands
Full transparency
Not playing into the hands of the corrupt and morally bereft
Respecting and observing the laws and the applicable codes....always
Yeah it's a tough road to do the right thing in the face of incessant and ingrained graft and corruption but hey .....that's what they've done
And it will absolutely fucking hold up in court to anyone's scrutiny while the bad actors will be shrinking from the light and praying for a merciful death
Bring on the announcements
I'll cut you some slack on all the spelling and grammar...it's Friday night after all isn't it..
