About Micro Cars

Developed by Dr. Lawrence Perera after years of planning, research and development, the Micro Car is a unique vehicle specifically designed to be manufactured under low cost production methods:

• The car is produced with a reinforced composite body and galvanized chassis. Composite body manufacturing requires no expensive high tech machinery or robotics. Chassis are also hand made and galvanized to give a warranty of 15 years.

• The manufacturing process is simplified, semi manual but every car meets international standards for quality and safety.

• “Micro Privilege” is a four door city car , with a 970cc, 4 cylinder, 4 stroke MPFI water cooled engine and 5 speed manual transmission which averages between 15 - 16kms per Liter making this car economical in terms of fuel consumption.

• OEM quality components such as Engines, Transmissions, Steering mechanisms, axels, breaking systems, suspension systems are used for the manufacturing of the Micro car. Each car is attractively designed with ergonomic seats, sitting areas and dashboards. Available options include air conditioning, central locking, Electric windows, Alloy wheels, customized interior, exclusive customized exterior paint and sound systems. The car can be manufactured in left/right hand drive and EURO II versions.


 

MICRO CARS in Sri Lanka

Since the launch in 2003 the car has been very well accepted in the market while being the pioneers of designing, developing and manufacturing our own National car for our people. The project is viewed with national interest and all Sri Lankans are proud to have a car manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka. The same kind of image could be created with the markets where there would be no one to compete once the product is launched.
