NgoJuni ophelileyo, Ford kunye neVolkswagen utyikitye imemorandam yokuqondana kwintsebenziswano ecwangcisiweyo egxile kuphuhliso lwezithuthi zorhwebo. Okokuqala, akukho nto ingaqhelekanga apha. Amaqela amashishini okanye abavelisi bahlala bengena kwintsebenziswano kunye nomnye, nokuba kuphuhliso lweemveliso ezintsha, iinkonzo okanye iteknoloji.
Kwaye ayisiyiyo na le intsebenziswano yokuqala phakathi kwezi ngxilimbela zimbini-iAutoEuropa, nabani na…? Kodwa kuxwebhu olupapashiweyo kukho iingcebiso ezinokuba sisiqalo senye into. Njengoko imemorandam ibonisa, zombini iinkampani zihlola iiprojekthi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo - kungekhona nje izithuthi zorhwebo - kunye nenjongo "yokukhonza ngcono iimfuno zabathengi".
Umhlalutyi weshishini "iinzwa" ziye zagcwala kakhulu ngesi sibhengezo. Ngokutsho kwe-Detroit Bureau, ebeka phambili amathuba okudityaniswa kweenkampani ezimbini, iFord kunye neVolkswagen, oku kungenxa yomzuzu weziganeko.
Iinkwenkwezi zilungelelanisiwe?
Ukuba kwelinye icala i Ford ibonakala ingenandlela ecacileyo yekamva, iveza iinjongo ezininzi, kodwa amanyathelo ambalwa asebenzayo - ngokumalunga nokufakelwa kombane, ukuqhuba ngokuzimeleyo kunye nokuhamba kunye neenkonzo zoqhagamshelwano -, Volkswagen , kwelinye icala, alinakuphela eli xesha elizayo elichazwe kakuhle, kodwa liya kuba nobukho obuqinileyo kwimarike yaseMntla yaseMelika efunwayo - indawo eyaba nzima ukufikelela emva kwe-Dieselgate - xa iqala ukufikelela eninzi inzuzo F-150, Ranger elizayo kunye nezinye SUV ethandwayo.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu apha
Ngamanye amazwi, ayizukwahluka kakhulu kwiincoko ebezibanjwe kwixa elidlulileyo neFCA, njengoko ibinokunika ufikelelo kwiRam eyandayo kunye neJeep eyandayo yehlabathi. Ngaphaya koko, ukuhla kwexabiso lezabelo zakwaFord kumaxesha amva nje kunokuba lithuba elifanelekileyo leVolkswagen yokuyongeza kwixabiso eliphantsi.
I-Ford, ngaphezu koko, itsala nzima kumanqanaba ahlukeneyo ehlabathi, njengeYurophu, iLatin America kunye neTshayina, kanye apho iVolkswagen yomelele khona. EYurophu ngokukodwa, ukwanda kobunzima kunye ne-Brexit, njengoko i-United Kingdom iyona marike yayo iphambili kweli lizwekazi, ilizwe apho nayo ineeyunithi zemveliso.
ukukhanyela
I-Ford, nangona kunjalo, sele iwachasile amahemuhemu anjalo. Ukuthetha ne-Motor1, ummeli we-Ford wathi "Zombini i-Volkswagen kunye ne-Ford zazicace kakhulu: nayiphi na intsebenziswano yobuchule ayiyi kubandakanya izivumelwano zokuthatha inxaxheba, kubandakanywa ukutshintshiselana kwezabelo".
Kukho imiqobo yokwenene ekufezekiseni eli thuba - ukwala okunokwenzeka kosapho lwakwaFord, olusenamandla amakhulu okwenza izigqibo ngaphakathi kwenkampani; kunye nokwahluka kwenkcubeko phakathi kwezi nkampani zibekwe kumacala omabini e-Atlantiki - esinye sezizathu zokwahlukana kweDaimlerChrysler, umzekelo.
Nangona kunjalo, ubudlelwane obusondeleyo phakathi kweFord kunye neVolkswagen ayinakuhamba ngaphaya kwentsebenziswano kwezinye iiprojekthi, njengoko kukhankanyiwe kwimemorandamu yokuqonda, njengoko sele kwenzekile ngaphambili kunye neeMPV ePalmela. Kwaye ukuba ubudlelwane bunzulu, ukudibanisa kunokuba yimeko ebekwe ecaleni (okwangoku) kwaye ulandele imodeli efanayo naleyo yaqala umanyano phakathi kweRenault kunye neNissan.
