Ukuba namhlanje i-converter ye-catalytic ibonwa njengenxalenye "eqhelekileyo" kuyo nayiphi na imoto, kwakukho amaxesha apho kwakubonwa "njengento yokunethezeka" ejoliswe kuphela kwiimodeli ezibiza kakhulu kwaye zamkelwe ngeempawu ezinokukhathazeka okuphezulu kokusingqongileyo. Phakathi kwaba, i-Opel yayiza kugqama, eyathi ukusukela ngo-1989 ukuya phambili yabeka isiseko sedemokhrasi ye-catalyst.
Le “demokhrasi” yaqala nge-21 ka-Epreli ka-1989, xa iOpel yabhengeza isigqibo sokunikezela njengothotho kuluhlu lwayo yonke into eyayibonwa ngelo xesha njengeyona ndlela yokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kongcoliseko: i-catalyst yeendlela ezintathu.
Ukusukela ngaloo mhla ukubheka phambili, zonke iimodeli ze-Opel zazinoguqulelo olunye ubuncinane oluxhotyiswe ngesiguquli esisemgangathweni, iinguqulelo ezichongwe ngokulula ngophawu oludumileyo lwe “Kat” oluvele ngasemva kwiimodeli zohlobo lwaseJamani.
Uluhlu olupheleleyo
Iindaba ezinkulu zomlinganiselo owabhengezwa ngabakwa-Opel yayingekuko ukwamkelwa kwesiguquli sendlela ezintathu, kodwa kukufika kwale kuluhlu luphela. Njengoko uMlawuli we-Opel ngelo xesha uLouis R. Hughes waqinisekisa: "I-Opel ngumenzi wokuqala ukubonelela ngeteknoloji ehambelana nokusingqongileyo njengenxalenye yezixhobo eziqhelekileyo kulo lonke uluhlu ukusuka kweyona incinci ukuya phezulu kuluhlu. ".
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
Ngaloo ndlela, ukususela ngo-1989, kuya kubakho ii-Opel ezintlanu ezineenguqulelo ze-catalyzed: i-Corsa, i-Kadett, i-Omega kunye ne-Senator, ngaloo ndlela igqibezela isicwangciso esaqalwa ngulo phawu kwiminyaka emihlanu ngaphambili ngenjongo yokuphucula ukukhuselwa kwendalo.
Namhlanje, iminyaka engama-30 emva kokufika kweenguqulelo eziphuculweyo zalo lonke udidi lwe-Opel, uphawu lwaseJamani lulungiselela ukuphehlelela iplagi-in hybrid version yeGrandland X kunye neCorsa yokuqala yombane, imilinganiselo emibini ehambelana nesicwangciso sophawu lokuba nayo. 2024 inguqulelo yombane nganye yeemodeli zayo.
