Isinqumo, ekuqaleni, esingabonakali sinengqondo. Phela iFiat iphethe i-A-segment ngokukhululeka kwayo , eyabahlali basemadolobheni, abahlala ezindaweni ezimbili eziphezulu etafuleni lokuthengisa namaPanda nabangu-500.
Kodwa uMike Manley, i-CEO ye-FCA, engqungqutheleni yemiphumela yezezimali yekota yesithathu eyayibanjwe ngo-Okthoba 31, ubeke phambili izinhlelo zokuhlela kabusha ukusebenza kwe-Europe ukuze ibabuyisele enzuzweni - i-FCA ilahlekelwe ama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-55 e-Europe engxenyeni yokugcina.
Phakathi kwezinyathelo ezihlukahlukene, ezithinta zonke izinhlobo zeqembu - i-Fiat, i-Alfa Romeo, i-Maserati ne-Jeep - kunenhloso ye-Fiat yokushiya ingxenye engu-A noma yabahlali basemadolobheni futhi igxile engxenyeni engu-B, lapho kuhlala khona ama-SUV.
UMike Manley, i-CEO ye-Fiat"Esikhathini esizayo esiseduze, bazobona ukugxila okuvuselelwe engxenyeni yethu kule ngxenye yevolumu ephezulu, enamaphethelo aphezulu, futhi lokho kuzobandakanya ukuphuma engxenyeni yasemadolobheni."
Kukhona okuxakayo kulo mnyakazo ohlangothini lweqembu, lapho u-Sergio Marchionne, owandulela uManley, enquma ukungabeki ozothatha indawo ye-Fiat Punto, ngenxa yobunzima bokwenza inzuzo naphezu kwamandla aphezulu. amanani okuthengisa avunyelwa ingxenye.
Ngisho nokuba umholi esigabeni sika-A, i-Fiat iwumkhiqizo/iqembu lakamuva ukucabanga kabusha ngesimo sayo kule ngxenye. Kulo nyaka iqembu lakwaVolkswagen liphonsele inselelo isizukulwane esisha se-Up!, Mii, ne-Citigo; kanye neqembu lePSA lidayise ingxenye yalo yemboni eyenza i-108, C1 ne-Aygo kwaToyota, isizukulwane esisha sabahlali basedolobheni singaqinisekiswa.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Izizathu ezibangela lokhu kushiywa okusobala kwe-A-segment ngabakwaVolkswagen kanye ne-PSA ziyefana nalezo ezethulwa abakwaFiat: izindleko zokuthuthukiswa okuphezulu nokukhiqiza, ukuncishiswa kwamamajini kanye namavolumu okuthengisa nawo aphansi kunalawo azuzwe ku-B-segment.
Iqiniso lithi abantu abahlala emadolobheni abashibhile ukuwathuthukisa noma ukukhiqiza ngoba bancane. Njenganoma iyiphi enye imoto, kufanele ihlangabezane nezidingo ezifanayo zokuphepha, kufanele ihlangabezane nezindinganiso ezifanayo zokukhipha umoya, futhi ungalindela izinga elifanayo lokuxhuma njengamamodeli amakhulu — akukho okuningi ongakususa.
Liyini ikusasa lePanda ne-500?
I-Fiat Panda yamanje kanye ne-Fiat 500, naphezu kokukhula kweminyaka yawo womabili amamodeli, kufanele ihlale emakethe iminyaka embalwa eyengeziwe.
Kulindeleke ukuthi bathole izinjini ezintsha zikaphethiloli ezi-semi-hybrid - izinguqulo ze-Firefly ezokhishwa okokuqala ku-Jeep Renegade ne-Fiat 500X - ngonyaka ozayo, noma okungenani ngo-2021. Yini elandelayo? Ngisho noManley akazange aqhamuke nekhalenda.
Ngo-2020, embukisweni olandelayo we-Geneva Motor Show, i-Fiat ithembise ukwembula ugesi omusha we-500 (hhayi i-500e eyayithengiswa kuphela e-US), ngokusekelwe endaweni entsha yezimoto zikagesi - esingazibona ku-Centoventi - kanye nezithembiso. ukuba makhulu kunama-500 esiwaziyo.
Ngamanye amazwi, ubukhulu bayo buzoba ingxenye B ngaphezu kuka-A, futhi kuzoba, kubonakala sengathi, iminyango emihlanu (iminyango emibili yangemuva yohlobo lokuzibulala). Izohambisana neveni i-Giardiniera (iveni), elandela isu elifana nalokhu okwenziwa iMini, yengeza eminyango emithathu yokuqala, imizimba emibili emikhulu - enezicabha ezinhlanu kanye neveni yaseClubman.
Imininingwane ebizwa nge-fusion
Njengoba sekushiwo, leli su limenyezelwe ngo-Okthoba 31, ngalo kanye usuku lapho ukuhlanganiswa kwe-FCA ne-PSA kuzoqinisekiswa khona.
Ngamanye amazwi, isu elivezwe nguManley hhayi kuphela izakhamizi zakwaFiat, kodwa nakwamanye ama-FCA e-Europe eminyakeni ezayo lizobuyekezwa ngenxa yesimo esisha sokuhlanganisa ukusebenza kwamaqembu amabili.
Futhi kusukela lapha konke kungenzeka. Ingabe leli su lizogcinwa esikhathini esizayo yi-pragmatist uCarlos Tavares?
Ukuqagela kancane, nokuba nenkundla yakamuva efana ne-CMP, ehambisana nokufakwa kukagesi, kunengqondo ukudlulisa wonke amamodeli ahlangene kulena (cishe amamitha angu-4 ubude), kuzuzwe umnotho omkhulu.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umnotho ofanayo wokulinganisa ungasiza ekugcineni ubukhona bawo esigabeni A. Ngokujoyina i-Fiat, i-Peugeot, i-Citroën ne-Opel, ama-akhawunti angasebenza ekuthuthukiseni isizukulwane esisha sabahlali basemadolobheni ngayinye yalezi. brand.
Noma, enye indlela, ethuthukiswe yi-Citroën, ingxenye engu-A yesikhathi esizayo ezokwakhiwa ngama-compact quadricycles kagesi azokwabiwa ne-Ami One yayo, izimoto ezinokuthuthukiswa nokukhiqiza zibiza kancane kakhulu kunezemoto evamile.
