8. OPPORTUNITIES FOR A NEW TOTAL PRODUCT
FACT
POTENTIAL
Increase in 2W population and production (almost 42 millions in use)
Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds dominate 2Ws
Increased usage for 2Ws for commercial transportation (motorcycle taxis
like Grab, Uber,...)
Growing number of automatic transmission-equipped scooters
Frequency of rainy weather and flash flood as a result in HCMC
People are well aware of the damage that water does to their scooters in
rainy weather
There are very few lubricants on the market that shield the engine of the
bikes from the impact of water
08
The engine consumes more lubricant under the effect of water
There are chances that the engine may fail on the road due to water

“ Driving in the rain sucks. Not only do I get wet myself but my
bike also get damaged by water. Sometimes the engine fails,
which cost me a homecook meal with my family or a meeting
with my clients. And fixing the damage is very pricey. I wish
for a solution to save my bike’s engine from water. ”
