Imbali yeJeep isinyanzela ukuba sibuyele umva ku-1941 kunye no-Willys MB, isithuthi esincinci somkhosi esigunyaziswe yi-United States of America (US) Army - kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II - eya kuthi kamva ivelise iJeep, enye. zezona zimoto ziyaziwayo emhlabeni kwaye amagama azo ade adityaniswe neenqwelo-mafutha ezihamba ngeendlela zonke.
Ngoku, ngonyaka apho uphawu lwaseMelika lubhiyozela iminyaka engama-80, imingeni ifuna kakhulu kunangaphambili. Okokuqala, siqala ukufuna ukuphuma kubhubhani “ongumkhenkce” iplanethi isithuba esingaphezu konyaka nothe wachaphazela ishishini leemoto ngendlela engazange ibonwe kumashumi eminyaka aliqela.
Kwaye ngokungathi oku akumelanga mceli mngeni mkhulu ngokwaneleyo kwiibrendi, ishishini leemoto lidlula kwelinye lawona maxesha anenkathazo kule minyaka yakutsha nje, ngakumbi eYurophu, apho kuya kusiba nzima kakhulu “ukuhamba ngesikhephe” ngamaza ombane.
I-Jeeps yokuqala yokuzinikela "kwimiqondiso yamaxesha" yayiyizona ziphakamiso ezimbini zaseYurophu kuluhlu, iCompass kunye neRenegade. Ngoku lixesha lokuba uWrangler ongumfanekiso, indlalifa yendalo kaWillys MB.
Sele siqhube i-Jeep Wrangler 4xe, i-plug-in hybrid ene-380hp, okokuqala, kwaye yamangaliswa yimpendulo kunye nangaphandle kwendlela. Kodwa ngaphezu kwenguqulelo entsha yemodeli, iWrangler iphawula ukujika okuqinisekileyo kwephepha lophawu lwaseMelika ngoku ludityaniswe kwiStellantis.
Yeyokuqala iWrangler efakwe umbane ezimbalini kunye nemodeli eyona iquka ukubheja kweJeep eYurophu kwiminyaka ezayo. Ukuze uqonde ukuba i-brand igcine ntoni kwilizwekazi laseYurophu, kwaye ilandela i-European presentation ye-Wrangler 4xe, saba nencoko kunye no-Antonella Bruno, ojongene neJeep eYurophu, kuMbindi Mpuma nase-Afrika.
I-DNA ihlala injalo
Umyinge wemoto (RA) -Abathengi bebesoloko beyibona iJeep njengenye yeebrendi ezinesona siko lide kulo lonke ilizwe. Yintoni esinokuyilindela kweli xesha elitsha iJeep ingena ngalo, kunye nokufakelwa kombane?
Antonella Bruno (AB) - Ewe, ulungile. IJeep ibisoloko ibonwa njengomdali weeSUVs ngo-1941. Kodwa kukwayinyani ukuba ukufakelwa kombane kuya kuba yinto ephambili kwinguqulelo yohlobo kwixesha elizayo.
Kodwa oko akulinciphisi ixabiso le-brand, kuba inkqubo ye-4x esiyisungule kunyaka ophelileyo kwi-Renegade, iCompass kwaye ngoku i-Wrangler, ngenxa yetekhnoloji ephezulu kunye ne-torque, inika ukusebenza okungcono ngaphandle kwendlela.
Kwaye sijonge umzekelo we-Wrangler, sinokuthi ngoku yimoto enokuthi isetyenziswe yonke imihla, nakwiidolophu ezinezithintelo ze-CO2, kodwa kwangaxeshanye ayigcini nje ngokugcina amandla angaphandle kwendlela kodwa ibona iqiniswa, enkosi kwitorque ekhawulezileyo nangaphezulu.
Kwelinye icala siphucula ukukwazi ukusebenza ngaphandle kweendlela, kodwa kwangaxeshanye sizinza ngakumbi. Ngoko ke asisinciphisi ixabiso lophawu.
Fumana imoto yakho elandelayo
RA - Ngoko sinokucinga ukuba ngenxa yombane, i-DNA yeJeep isenokomelezwa. Yilento uyithethayo?
AB — Ewe, yiloo nto kanye. Kwelinye icala siye sigcineke, kodwa kwelinye icala siya sisebenza kakuhle kwaye siqhuba kakuhle kwindawo yemveli engekho endleleni, eyinxalenye yeDNA yolu phawu.
I-Wrangler "yaseYurophu" iya kuba yiHybrid kuphela kulo nyaka
RA — Kwimarike ephantse yalawulwa zii-SUVs, ngaba uyakholelwa ukuba elona khono likhulu kwezi zindululo ze-plug-in hybrid ziseYurophu? Kukwawaphi amazwe olindele ukukhula okuphezulu?
AB — Sikholelwa ngokunzulu kwinguquko yemarike yokufakelwa kombane. Sele sibona oku kwiCompass 4xe, apho sele siphumelele umxube we-30% kwinqanaba laseYurophu. Kwaye ukuba sithatha ingqalelo ukuba i-4x iya kuthatha indawo ye-4 × 4 kwimarike, sinokulindela umxube ophezulu kuwo onke amazwe. Akukho ntengiso iya kuhlala ngaphandle kule "fashoni" yokufakelwa kombane.
Kwi-Wrangler, umzekelo, namhlanje sineenjini ezimbini, i-petroli enye kwaye ngoku le plug-in hybrid, kodwa ekupheleni konyaka injini kuphela ekhoyo kwi-Wrangler iya kuba yi-plug-in hybrid, kuba sikholelwa ukuba Uloliwe wokufakelwa kombane sele ekumatshi.
RA - Ngaba oku kuthetha ukuba sinokulindela kwakhona inguqulo ye-plug-in ye-hybrid ye-Jeep Gladiator?
KwiGladiator le nto ayinakwenzeka kwikamva elingekude, kodwa sifunda lonke uhlalutyo malunga neemveliso zethu ukuze sikwazi ukubonelela ngezona zindululo zibalaseleyo eYurophu. I-Grand Cherokee entsha, kwaye oku kukulindela, kuya kuba nenkqubo ye-4x, iya kuba yi-plug-in hybrid.
Injongo kukufikelela abantu abaninzi…
RA - Ngokuziphendukela kombane, ngaba uyakholelwa ukuba abaphulaphuli abajoliswe kubo beJeep baya kutshintsha kancinci?
AB - Sinokuthi siza kwandisa abathengi bethu. Ukusebenzisa i-Wrangler 4x njengomzekelo, sifuna ukugcina abathengi abathembekileyo kwimodeli njengendlela ecocekileyo ye-off-roading, kodwa kwangaxeshanye sifuna ukuphumelela abathengi ababengakwazi ukusebenzisa iWrangler imihla ngemihla. isiseko kubomi babo.
Kwaye iyafana neRenegade 4xe kunye neCompass 4xe. Sifuna ukugcina abathengi abanyanisekileyo, kodwa sifuna ukufikelela kubantu abanomdla kuzinzo nabadinga imoto enexabiso eliphantsi lilonke lobunini.
Oku kungenxa yokuba abaninzi abathengi baseYurophu abahambi ngaphezu kweekhilomitha ezingama-50 ngosuku kwaye, ngokuqwalasela ukuzimela kweemodeli zethu, baya kukwazi ukuzisebenzisa kwimodi yombane yonke imihla.
Sikholelwa ukuba i-plug-in hybrids zezona zilungelelanisayo ngengqiqo yokuba zibonelela ngamava okuqhuba nge-100% imo yombane ngaphandle kokusinika naliphi na ixhala, kuba sinokunye ukuguquguquka okubulela kwinto yokuba sinokuzisebenzisa nge-injini yokushisa. .
I-RA - Isicwangciso seJeep siza kuguquka njani ukusuka ngoku ukuya phambili? Ngaba siza kufikelela kuluhlu olufakwe umbane ngokupheleleyo? Ingaba ukujoyina iqela leStellantis kutshintshe nantoni na kwiqhinga leJeep laseYurophu?
AB - Isicwangciso sasisele sichaziwe. Ukufakelwa kombane yinto yangoku kwaye iya kuba likamva lophawu. Njengoko benditshilo, i-Grand Cherokee entsha iya kuba yi-plug-in hybrid kwaye siza kwazisa iinguqulelo zemild-hybrid. Zonke iimodeli kuluhlu lwethu ziya kuba neenguqulelo zombane okanye zombane.
I-100% imodeli yombane ayikho ngoku
I-RA - Kuhlelo lwalo nyaka lwe-Easter Safari, iJeep ibonise iMagneto, iprototype yombane engazange ishiye nabani na ongenamdla. Singalindela nini iJeep yokuqala yokuvelisa umbane?
AB — IMagneto ngumzekelo, yinxalenye yeqhinga lethu leekhonsepthi kunye nezifundo esizenzayo malunga nemveliso. Kodwa ngoku yiloo nto kanye, ingcamango. Kodwa siya kuqhubeka nokuhlalutya kwaye siqonde ukuba yeyiphi eyona nto iphambili kwimodeli yethu nganye eYurophu nakweminye imimandla.
I-RA - I-Renegade kunye neCompass yimizekelo emibini ebaluleke kakhulu kwi-Jeep eYurophu kwaye kutshanje kukho amahemuhemu okuba i-Jeep inokuphuhlisa i-SUV encinci, kwi-B-segment. Ngaba la mahemuhemu ayinyaniso? Ngaba sinokulindela "i-mini-Renegade" yaseYurophu kwiminyaka ezayo?
AB — Andinakuqinisekisa nto kodwa ndingatsho ukuba isicwangciso esitsha sobuchule sikaStellantis siza kuthi thaca ekupheleni kwalo nyaka okanye ekuqaleni konyaka olandelayo emva koko kutyhilwe isicwangciso sethu.
RA - Ngaba sinokuthi lo ngowona mzuzu ulungileyo weJeep ukuza kuthi ga ngoku?
I-AB - Lo ngumzuzu obaluleke kakhulu ngokubhekiselele ekuziphendukeleni kwemvelo, kuba ibonisa indlela entsha eYurophu kunye nokufakelwa kombane kwaye kuba inika ingcamango yokuba uphawu luba luhle kubomi bemihla ngemihla.
