I-Mazda, njengabanye abavelisi, ilungiselela ikamva elifuna kakhulu xa kuziwa kwimigangatho yokukhutshwa. I-brand ilungiselela isizukulwana sesibini seenjini ze-SKYACTIV kwaye iseke intsebenziswano kunye neToyota yezisombululo ezixubileyo - umzekelo, i-Mazda3 ithengiswa eJapan edibanisa injini ye-SKYACTIV-G kunye ne-teknoloji ye-hybrid ye-Toyota.
Ngokwalabo abajongene ne-brand, imodeli entsha ye-zero-emission kufuneka yaziwe kwi-2019 kwaye ithengiswe ngo-2020. IYurophu ejongene noPhando kunye noPhuhliso, uMatsuhiro Tanaka uthe:
UMatsuhiro Tanaka, iNtloko yoPhando noPhuhliso lwaseYurophu yaseMazdayenye yezinto ezinokwenzeka esizijongileyo. Iimoto ezincinci zilungele izisombululo zombane eziyi-100%, kuba iimoto ezinkulu nazo zifuna iibhetri ezinkulu ezinzima, kwaye oko akunangqiqo kwiMazda.
Ukuqwalasela iingxelo zikaTanaka malunga nemilinganiselo yemodeli yombane yeMazda yexesha elizayo, uphawu lwaseJapan lunokulungiselela imodeli efana neRenault Zoe. Ngenxa yesi sikhundla, le nto intsha kufuneka ibheje ngendlela engazange ibonwe ngaphambili:
UMatsuhiro Tanaka, iNtloko yoPhando noPhuhliso lwaseYurophu yaseMazdauyilo luya kwahluka, kuba nangona isicwangciso sethu nale moto siyafana, iteknoloji ayiyi kufana. Ngokomzekelo, izinto eziphathekayo ziya kuba lula. Ukuba sifaka iibhetri ezinzima, kufuneka sihambe ngendlela echaseneyo malunga nobunzima obupheleleyo. Kuya kufuneka siphuhlise itekhnoloji yemathiriyeli entsha kwixesha elizayo.
Ungena phi uWankel?
E-Razão Automóvel siye sachaza amaxesha amaninzi ukubuya kweenjini ze-Wankel - nangona oko kubuya kungazange kwenzeke. Nangona kunjalo, enye inokwenzeka yokubuya kweenjini zeWankel. Ulibale i-Mazda RX yexesha elizayo kunye nale njini, indima yayo ingahlaziywa kwaye ivalwe kuluhlu lwemisebenzi eyongezelelekileyo yezithuthi zombane ezizayo.
Kwaye kutheni kungenjalo? Imilinganiselo yayo ebambeneyo, ibhalansi engaphakathi, kunye nokuzola okuphantsi kwe-rev kuyenza ibe ngumgqatswa obalaseleyo kulo msebenzi. Ithuba elithe laqiniswa ngokubhaliswa kwamalungelo awodwa omenzi wechiza yi-Mazda e-USA ngokunxulumene nobu buchwepheshe.
I-Mazda ngokwayo izame le teknoloji kwixesha elidlulileyo. Ngo-2013 kwaphuhliswa iprototype ye-Mazda2, apho injini encinci ye-330cc Wankel yaxhonywa ngasemva yavelisa amandla ebhetri.
Le injini, inikwe itanki encinci yamafutha alithoba, yavelisa i-20 kW rhoqo (27 hp) kwi-2000 rpm, evumela ukuzimela kwemodeli ukuba kwandiswe. Kwakhona uMatsuhiro Tanaka:
UMatsuhiro Tanaka, iNtloko yoPhando noPhuhliso lwaseYurophu yaseMazdaKwakhe kwakho into efana nale, kodwa andikwazi ukungena kwiinkcukacha. Kunokwenzeka ukufezekisa ukusebenza kunye noqoqosho nge-injini ejikelezayo. Izinzile kwaye izolile ngokujikeleza rhoqo, ngoko ke kukho amandla okwenza oku.
Ukufika kwesithuthi sombane kolu luhlu lomenzi kuya kuphembelela ukukhula kombane kwaMazda – ukusukela ngo-2021 ukuya phambili uphawu luya kwandisa inani lee-plug-in hybrid vehicles kuluhlu lwayo. Ngokutsho kukaTanaka, iMazda sele inabo ubuchwephesha obufunekayo kule njongo ngenxa yentsebenziswano neToyota. Kuphela ngumcimbi wexesha.
