Inkqubo yohlaziyo loluhlu lweVolvo, nesaqhubayo, iquke unikezelo lwezizukulwana ezitsha zeenjini zayo zepetroli nezedizili. UHåkan Samuelsson, kudliwano-ndlebe neFrankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, wagqabaza ngekamva labakhandi bakhe: “ngokwembono yangoku, asisayi kuvelisa esinye isizukulwana seenjini zedizili.”
Izizathu, ngaphezu kwazo zonke, zidibene neendleko ezikhulayo ezinxulumene nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Uphawu lwaseSweden luza kusungula imodeli yalo yokuqala yombane eyi-100% kwangoko ngo-2019.
Emva kokwazi iingxelo zabo, ngokucacileyo, iVolvo kunye neSamuelsson bakhupha abanye babeka "amanzi kwithumba". Iingxelo ezicebisa ukuba ukhetho lusaxoxwa, kunokulandela isicwangciso esele sichaziwe.
Kwiingxelo ezithunyelwe kamva kwiReuters, uSammuelson waphawula ukuba "sisanda kusungula isizukulwana esitsha sepetroli kunye neenjini zedizili, sigxininisa ukuzibophelela kwethu kobu buchwepheshe. Ngenxa yoko, isigqibo malunga nophuhliso lwesizukulwana esitsha seenjini zedizili asiyomfuneko.”
Idizili isengundoqo ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo
Uphawu lwaseSweden luye lwaqaphela ngaphambili ukuba kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo i-Diesel iya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2, njengoko kunyanzeliswe yi-European Union. Isizukulwana sangoku semodeli, esele siyilwe ngemithetho yexesha elizayo malunga nokukhutshwa kwengqondo, siya kuqhubeka nokuvela kude kube ngu-2023.
Kodwa u-2020 ubonakala ngathi ngunyaka obalulekileyo. Imigangatho emitsha yokukhutshwa iya kusebenza - i-Euro 6d -, apho iindleko zokuphuhlisa kunye nokuvelisa iinjini ezihambelana nazo ziya kunyuka kakhulu, ukuya kwinqanaba lokuba lingenakwenzeka kumenzi.
I-Hybrid kunye neteknoloji yombane, nangona kunjalo, ibona ikhosi ebuyela umva xa kuziwa kwiindleko. Kulindeleke ukuba kwisithuba seminyaka embalwa iteknoloji yePHEV (Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) ikwazi ukuthelekisa ixabiso leenjini zedizili zangoku.
Okwangoku, iVolvo sele ibonelela ngeenguqulelo ezixubileyo zezinye iimodeli zayo. Kodwa ukuxhomekeka kweDizili kuhlala kuphezulu kakhulu. EYurophu, i-90% yeeVolvo XC90s ezithengisiweyo yiDizili.
Ubhejo kwimixube iya kuba kukugcina, ukwandiswa ukuya kwizithuthi zombane ngokupheleleyo. Uphawu lwaseSweden luza kusungula imodeli yalo yokuqala yombane eyi-100% kwangoko ngo-2019.
