Vietnamese scientists have recently made considerable progresses in the field of engineering, said the Vietnam Economic News.
TheVietnam Forestry University, Hanoi University of Science andTechnology and Military Technical Academy have successfully built afire fighting equipment that is believed to be the first of its kindmade in Southeast Asia.
Although it has been put into operationfor only a short time in Kon Tum and Hoa Binh provinces and theSouthwestern region, the equipment has been highly appreciated by thelocalities. The equipment has contributed to reduce economic losses toabout 150 billion VND a year due to forest fires.
The secondexample is the computed scanning equipment (Gorbit) which wasproduced by researchers from the Centre for Application of NuclearTechnique in Industry (Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute).
Thequality of machine was recognised by the International Atomic EnergyAgency (IAEA) and IAEA placed orders for some member countries.
Scientists from Quang Trung Mechanical Enterprise have alsosuccessfully manufactured super weight cranes with a localization rateof up to 90 percent. In addition, Vietnam has now mastered a series ofmodern manufacturing technologies like the CNC machine tool, the 2ANSHAmobile hydraulic roof support for exploiting pit coal, 36,000cu.m perhour capacity water pump, 100 tonnes per hour stone grinding machines,construction of high speed ships at 25 miles per hour and tankers of3,500 deadweight tonnage.
Deputy Head of the National Departmentof Science and Technology Information Le Thi Khanh Van said to promotedomestic engineering, Vietnam needs to focus on developing someselected high value products with favourable market conditions and issuepolicies to promote sales for these products.
A representativefrom BKMech Co, Ltd, a successful enterprise in researching andmanufacturing CNC machine tool said tax incentives need to be applied onenterprises using domestically-made machines while import tax rates ofsimilar products need to be increased.
Vietnam should also cutthe tax rates of input machine components and encourage more localenterprises to participate in the field of engineering.-VNA
