Seems another excuse for "nacionalization" or to put his "friends" instead.
How a carmaker can "share" his technology with local businesses?... are there local businesess making cars too..?.. If so, can any company have the will to share what make them sucessfull against his competitors?...
Car technology is easy to archieve. Any mechanics with basic skills and mechanics engeneers can dismantle a car and reverse engeneer. Its not rocket science. Many countries (China and South Korea, for example) has done that, but a basic industrial infraestructure is needed to comercially built a car (or a truck) as foundrys and metalworks.
As far I know, Venezuela has little developed those areas, and their cars are builded from parts that come from around the world. Very few countries produce evreything needed to build a car, because the scale production economy. If somebody want to produce high tech products, things gets even worst. World production is inter-dependant now. And if Chavez place his friends instead, things will not change a lot.
Real problem is how to do that in a cheap and quality way in order to be profitable, if the product is attractive to the costumers, if the product has enough customer support, etc. etc.
