Comments Pertaining To China Decision To Deploy Petronas EO1 Engine

Wow, have you just read the news about the Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC) to use our own developed Petronas EO1 Malaysian engine? Lastly, the commercialization of our own developed engine seem to be realized soon.

But sadly though, the foreigner carmaker seems to be far more interested and trusted to recognize our own automobile technology instead.

I've heard this particular engine technology has been licensed to Hyundai, but to no affirmation though.

Some other rumours spread out saying that Petronas did several times talked to Rover to sell the technology design provided that they cover the R&D cost Petronas used to spent to develop it.
