Batam Motor Company

Batam Motor Company
One of the largest car manufacturers in the universe, Batam is now synonymous with ruggedness & reliability & for good reason. They've built heavy duty products since their founding in the 1940s. Since then they've stayed true to their name, only building practical, reliable vehicles, with a few sporty or quirky exceptions.

History
Batam came to be in 1940, & quickly went to work developing heavy duty vehicles for the military to use, including the Model J & T-Man. The vehicles both sold well & did great in combat which significantly boosted civilian sales too as farmers & businesses knew that vehicles that could perform & survive so well in harsh combat could very easily survive day to day usage on a farm, or on the job. They continued on this route, making mostly utilitarian vehicles for many decades. They produced a Supertanker & a Military Helicopter in 2013 to a pretty good reception. But for automobiles it wasn't until 2004 that Batam created a decently sporty coupe which entered into the NASFAR racing series the same year to great success, boosting the car's sales dramatically, even prompting them to make a street legal version of their Stock Car, which was driven by many great drivers in the NASFAR series including Michael Kezlouski, Jim Bekham, & Jarren Mendez, who won the '03 NASFAR World Cup, but died in a fatal car accident in 2004 driving the Batam which he performed amazingly with up until his barrel roll accident. The Batam has even been driven by a bot who drove the car insanely well, & faster than any human driver due to a million dollars put into developing the perfect driving A.I. & car. They also came out with a heavy duty off-roading SUV known as the XJ110 that was raced in the African Trek Rally.

Batam has rival company that is very commonly confused with Batam known as Bantam, who claims to have came up with the name and logo (which is identical to Batam's) first. Nobody knows who actually created the name or logo first but most people agree that it was just a coincidence between the two, as they were both founded around the same time (Bantam slightly later) and Bantam had no reason to steal such a new company's logo. Bantam eventually decided to stop the feud when in 2016 they debuted their high horsepower "S" car and it featured no logo at all.
