I-Euro NCAP ijonge emva kunyaka ophelileyo, ukukhetha i-trio yeemodeli njengeemoto ezikhuselekileyo ze-2018.
Unyaka we-2018 uphinde waphawulwa yimfuno ephezulu yovavanyo oluza kwenziwa, ngakumbi ezo zihambelana neenkqubo zokhuseleko ezisebenzayo, ukuvavanya ngendlela egcweleyo yeenkqubo zokuqhafaza ezizenzekelayo kunye nokugcinwa kwendlela yokuthwala.
Yawela kwi-Nissan Leaf ukuba ibe yimoto yokuqala evavanyiweyo phantsi kolu vavanyo lutsha, oluphumelele ngemibala eqaqambileyo, ukuphumeza iinkwenkwezi ezintlanu ezinqwenelekayo. Noko ke, kwakunganelanga ukuba yinxalenye yabona babalaseleyo bonyaka.
Iimoto ezikhuselekileyo ze-2018
I-Euro NCAP ikhethe iimodeli ezintathu kumacandelo amane: iMercedes-Benz A-Class, iHyundai Nexo kunye neLexus ES. Kuyathakazelisa ukuba mnye kuphela kubo ngoku kuthengiswa ePortugal, iKlasi A. I-Nexus, i-SUV iseli ye-fuel ye-Hyundai ayicwangciswanga ukuthengiswa kwilizwe lethu, kwaye i-Lexus ES iya kufikelela kuthi kuphela ngo-2019.
IMercedes-Class A yayiyeyona igqwesileyo kudidi lweMoto yoSapho oluNcinci, kwaye kwaba njalo oyena ufumene amanqaku aphezulu kuzo zonke iimvavanyo ezenziwe ngo-2018 yi-Euro NCAP. IHyundai Nexo yayiyeyona ibalaseleyo kudidi lweSUV Enkulu kwaye ekugqibeleni, iLexus ES yajika yaba yeyona igqwesileyo kwiindidi ezimbini: Imoto yoSapho enkulu, kunye neHybrids kunye noMbane.
Nangona zonke izithuthi zeenkwenkwezi ezintlanu, iziphumo azinakuthelekiswa phakathi kwazo, zithethelela ubukho beentlobo ezininzi. Oku kungenxa yokuba sithetha ngezithuthi ezineentlobo ezahlukeneyo kunye… ubunzima. Iimvavanyo zengozi ye-Euro NCAP, umzekelo, zilinganisa ukungqubuzana phakathi kweenqwelo ezimbini zobunzima obulinganayo, oku kuthetha ukuba iziphumo ezifunyenwe kwi-1350 kg yeKlasi A ayinakuthelekiswa ngaphezu kwe-1800 kg kwi-Nexus.
Ungenza njani ukuba ube ngogqwesileyo eklasini?
Ukuze ube ngoyena ugqwesileyo eklasini yakho okanye kudidi (Olona Luhle kwiKlasi), kubalwa kwenziwa ushwankathelo lwamanqaku kwindawo nganye evavanyiweyo: abahlali abadala, abantwana abahlala kuyo, abahambi ngeenyawo nabancedisi bokhuseleko. Ukuze ufaneleke, ziziphumo zakho kuphela ezinezixhobo ezisemgangathweni eziqwalaselwayo—ukhetho olunokuphucula umlinganiselo wakho (olufana nezinye iipakethe zezixhobo zokhuseleko) aluqukwanga.
UMichiel van Ratingen, uNobhala Jikelele we-Euro NCAPNgo-2018 sazisa uvavanyo olutsha noluqina ngakumbi, sigxile ngokukodwa ekukhuseleni abona basebenzisi beendlela basesichengeni. Abaphumeleleyo abathathu kulo nyaka babonakalise ngokuphandle ukuba abenzi beemoto bazabalazela awona manqanaba okhuseleko aphakamileyo kwaye amanqaku e-Euro NCAP yintshatsheli kolu phuculo lubalulekileyo okanye ukhuseleko.
