“Iimoto ziqhutywa ngabantu. Yiyo loo nto yonke into esiyenzayo kwaVolvo kufuneka ifake isandla, kuqala, kukhuseleko lwakho.” Kwakunjalo ngeli binzana ngu-Assar Gabrielsson & Gustav Larson, abaSeki beVolvo, ukuba uLotta Jakobsson waqala iNkomfa ye-Press "Volvo Safety - 90 Years ukucinga ngabantu" eyenzeka izolo kwiVolvo Car Portugal Training Centre ePorto Salvo.
Kunyaka apho uphawu lubhiyozela iMinyaka engama-90, iNkokeli ePhezulu yezobuGcisa kuThintelo lweNzakalo yeZiko loKhuseleko lweemoto zeVolvo, yayikwilizwe lethu ukuze inike ubungqina bayo malunga nokuzinikela okuyimbali uphawu lwaseSweden olunalo kumba wokhuseleko.
ULotta Jakobsson uthethe nathi malunga nelifa leVolvo malunga nokhuseleko, wasazisa kwindlela yokusebenza yeVolvo Cars Safety Centre kwaye wazisa inkqubo “yeCircle of Life”. Loo nto ayinanto yakwenza nalo mjikelo wobomi:
Ukhuseleko. umcimbi onzulu kakhulu
KwaVolvo, umbandela wokhuseleko ayingomdlalo wabantwana – nangona abantwana babegxininisiwe ngethuba enikela intetho kaLotta Jakobsson, ngenxa yomxholo wezihlalo zemoto. Kodwa makhe sibuyele kumxholo othi “isangqa soBomi”.
Phantse iminyaka engama-3 yamava aqokelelweyo kuphando kunye nophuhliso lokhuseleko lwemoto, uLotta Jakobbson wachaza ngokucacileyo intsingiselo kunye nezigaba ezahlukeneyo zenkqubo "yeCircle of Life" (engenanto yakwenza neLion King Life Cycle) esetyenziswa yiVolvo Cars. kuhlalutyo nophuhliso lwezisombululo ezitsha kwesi sahluko.
ququzelela isiphithiphithi
Iingozi zendlela sesinye sezona meko zinzima ekunokubandakanyeka kuzo inqwelo-mafutha. Yiyo loo nto iVolvo iphuhlise indlela yokukhusela ukhuseleko lwabakhweli nakwezona ngozi zimanyumnyezi.
Ngogcino-lwazi lweenkcukacha-manani zeengozi eziqokelelwe liQela loPhando ngeNgozi yeTrafikhi yakwaVolvo equka iimoto ezingaphezu kwamawaka angama-39 kunye nabakhweli abangamawaka angama-65, i-Circle of Life iqala ngenqanaba lokwenyani lokuhlalutya idatha. I-Volvo ina, ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-40, amaqela amagcisa ahamba kwiindawo zengozi ukuqokelela idatha yokwenyani kubo.
Ezinye zezi ngozi (zifanekisela umfanekiso) zide zenziwa nakwaVolvo Cars Safety Centre.
Emva koko, iimfuno zokhuseleko kunye nophuhliso lwemveliso zibandakanya idatha esuka kolu hlalutyo lwangaphambili ngenjongo yokufakwa kwabo kwisigaba sokuvelisa iprototype, kulandelwa ukuqinisekiswa rhoqo kunye nezigaba zokugqibela zokuvelisa.
Ukuya ku-2020
Ukutyhubela iminyaka, iVolvo ibe noxanduva lwezinto ezintsha ezithe zatshintsha ihlabathi leemoto nobomi babantu, njengebhanti lesihlalo elinamanqaku amathathu, isitulo sokhuseleko lomntwana, i-airbag, i-automatic braking system kunye kutshanje nePilot Assist system, I-embryo yamanyathelo ukuya ekuqhubeni ngokuzimeleyo.
KuLotta Jakobsson, ukuzibophelela kophawu lwaseSweden kukhuseleko kuyaphila kakhulu kwaye iimodeli ezintsha zingumzekelo: “Ifilosofi yabaseki bethu ihlala ingatshintshanga – ugxininiso ebantwini, kwindlela yokwenza ubomi babo bube lula kwaye bukhuseleke. Ngo-2020 sijolise ekufezekiseni uMbono wethu woKhuseleko – wokuba kungabikho mntu uphulukana nobomi bakhe okanye owenzakele ngokumasikizi kwiVolvo entsha”.
U-Aira de Mello, omnye walabo abajongene neVolvo Cars ePortugal, waphinda wakhumbula ukuba ukufezekisa le njongo akuxhomeki kuphela kwi-teknoloji, kuxhomekeke ekutshintsheni kwengqondo. Kwaye wenze umzekelo: “Usemkhulu umsebenzi omele wenziwe malunga nokuthutha abantwana. (…) Kubalulekile ukuba, ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka emine ubudala, indawo yezitulo iguqulwe ukuthintela ukwenzakala komlomo wesibeleko”.
