Yeka uhambo! Kwakuyiminyaka engu-90 enamandla. Kusukela esidlweni sasemini nabangani kuya kwenye yezinhlobo zezimoto eziphambili, sivakashele izikhathi ezibalulekile emlandweni wakwaVolvo emasontweni adlule.
Sesikutshelile ukuthi uhlobo lwaseSweden lwasungulwa kanjani, lwazigqaja kanjani embonini yezimoto, ukuthi luhluke kanjani emncintiswaneni, kwagcina ngokuthi yiziphi izinhlobo eziphawule umlando walo.
Ngemuva kwalolu hambo lweminyaka engu-90 emlandweni womkhiqizo, manje yisikhathi sokubheka okwamanje futhi sihlaziye ukuthi iVolvo ilungiselela ikusasa kanjani.
Njengoba sibe nethuba lokubona, ukuziphendukela kwemvelo kusezakhini zofuzo zomkhiqizo waseSweden, kodwa okwedlule kuyaqhubeka nokuba nesisindo esinqumayo. Futhi ukukhuluma ngekusasa lomkhiqizo, kulapho, esikhathini esidlule, lapho sizoqala khona.
ngokweqiniso emisuka
Kusukela ngesidlo sasemini esidumile phakathi kwabasunguli bakwaVolvo u-Assar Gabrielsson noGustaf Larson ngo-1924, kuningi okushintshile embonini yezimoto. Kuningi osekushintshile, kodwa kunento eyodwa engashintshile kuze kube yimanje: ukukhathazeka kweVolvo ngabantu.
“Izimoto zishayelwa abantu. Yingakho konke esikwenzayo kwaVolvo kumele kube neqhaza, kuqala, ekuphepheni kwakho.”
Lo musho, oshiwo ngu-Assar Gabrielsson, useneminyaka engaphezu kuka-90 ubudala futhi uveza ukuzinikela okukhulu kweVolvo njengomkhiqizo. Kuzwakala njengenye yalawo ma-buzzwords azalwe emnyangweni wezokumaketha nokuxhumana, kodwa akunjalo. Ubufakazi bukhona.
Ukukhathalela abantu nokuphepha kusalokhu kuyiziqondiso zakwaVolvo esikhathini samanje nekusasa.
IVolvo ehamba phambili?
Amarekhodi okuthengisa ayalandelana - bona lapha. Njengoba iVolvo yatholwa ngabakwaGeely - abadabuka eChina emazweni amaningi - lo mkhiqizo ubhekene nesinye sezikhathi ezichuma kakhulu emlandweni wawo.
Amamodeli amasha, ubuchwepheshe obusha, izinjini ezintsha namapulatifomu amasha athuthukiswe ezikhungweni zobuchwepheshe zomkhiqizo kungesinye sezizathu zale mpumelelo ekhulayo. Imodeli yokuqala yalesi “nkathi” entsha kwakuyiVolvo XC90 entsha. I-SUV kanokusho ehlanganisa umndeni wemodeli ye-90 Series, ehlanganisa i-V90 estate kanye ne-limousine ye-S90.
Lezi zinhlobo zakwaVolvo ziwuhlelo lokuqala olunentshisekelo enkulu emlandweni womkhiqizo, iVision 2020.
Umbono 2020. Kusukela emazwini kuya ezenzweni
Njengoba kushiwo, i-Vision 2020 ingenye yezinhlelo ezifisa kakhulu emlandweni wemboni yezimoto. IVolvo ibe wuhlobo lwezimoto lokuqala emhlabeni jikelele ukuzibophezela kulokhu okulandelayo:
“Inhloso yethu ukuthi ngo-2020 kungabikho muntu oshonile noma olimale kanzima eshayela iVolvo” | U-Håkan Samuelsson, uMongameli weVolvo Cars
Ingabe umgomo wokuvelela? Yebo, Akunakwenzeka? Ungenzi. Umbono ka-2020 wenziwa isethi yobuchwepheshe bokuphepha obusebenzayo nobungenzi lutho osebuvele senziwe kuwo wonke amamodeli amasha omkhiqizo.
Ukuhlanganisa amasu okucwaninga aphelele, ukulingisa kwekhompuyutha nezinkulungwane zokuhlolwa kokuphahlazeka - khumbula ukuthi iVolvo inesinye sezikhungo zokuhlola ezinkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni - esinedatha yokuphahlazeka kwempilo yangempela, umkhiqizo uthuthukise amasistimu okuphepha asekuqaleni kwe-Vision 2020. .
Kulezi zinhlelo, sigqamisa uhlelo lwe-Auto Pilot yokushayela i-semi-autonomous. Nge-Auto Pilot, izinhlobo zakwaVolvo zikwazi ukulawula ngokuzenzakalelayo izinto ezifana nesivinini, ibanga lemoto engaphambili kanye nokulungiswa komzila ofinyelela ku-130 km/h – ngaphansi kweso lomshayeli.
OKUhlobene: Izinsika ezintathu zesu lokushayela iVolvo i-autonomous driving
I-Volvo Auto Pilot isebenzisa uhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi lwamakhamera esimanjemanje angu-360° kanye nama-radar abhekele hhayi kuphela ukushayela okuzihambela kancane, kodwa neminye imisebenzi efana nesistimu yokulungisa umzila, ukubhuleka okuzenzakalelayo kwezimo eziphuthumayo, umsizi we-intersection kanye nokutholwa kuyasebenza. yabahamba ngezinyawo nezilwane.Zonke lezi zinhlelo zokuphepha, zisizwa yi-traditional stability control systems (ESP) kanye ne-braking (ABS+EBD), ziyakwazi ukuvimbela, ukwehlisa ngisho nokugwema kakhulu amathuba ezingozi.
Uma ingozi ingenakugwenywa, abagibeli banomugqa wesibili wokuzivikela: izinhlelo zokuphepha ezingenzi lutho. I-Volvo iyingqalabutho ocwaningweni lokuthuthukiswa kwezimoto ngezindawo eziguquguqukayo ezihleliwe. Sikhumbula inhloso yomkhiqizo: ukuthi ngo-2020 akekho oshonile noma olimale kanzima ngemuva kwesondo leVolvo.
Ibheke Ekufakeni Ugesi
Ukukhathazeka kweVolvo ngabantu akugcini ngokuphepha emgwaqeni. AbakwaVolvo babheka kabanzi ngezokuphepha, bedlulisela ukukhathazeka kwabo ekuvikeleni imvelo.
Sesikushilo lokho, enye yezinhlelo ezibaluleke kakhulu zokuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo wucwaningo nokuthuthukiswa kwezinye izindlela zikagesi ezingasetshenziswa ezinjinini ezivuthayo. IVolvo ithatha izinyathelo ezinqala ekufakeni ugesi ezinhlotsheni zayo. Inqubo ezoba kancane kancane, kuye ngokulindelwe yimakethe kanye nokushintshashintsha kwezobuchwepheshe.
Uyazi ukuthi igama elithi "omtanke" lisho ukuthini?
Kunegama lesiSwidi elisho "ukunakekela", "ukucabangela" kanye "nokucabanga futhi". Lelo gama lithi "omtanke".Kube yigama elikhethwe ngabakwaVolvo ukufingqa indlela inkampani eyenza ngayo umgomo wayo webhizinisi kanye nohlelo lwayo lokuzibophezela kokusimama kwezenhlalo nezemvelo - ifa "lombono wokungafihli lutho kanye nokuziphatha" owenziwe ngu-Assar Gabrielsson (bona lapha).
Ngokusekelwe ezinseleleni zamanje nezesikhathi esizayo zemiphakathi yesimanje, i-Volvo ihlele uhlelo lwe-Omtanke lwaba izingxenye ezintathu ezithinta umthelela: umthelela njengenkampani, imithelela yemikhiqizo yayo kanye neqhaza le-Volvo emphakathini.
Enye yezinjongo eziyinhloko zalolu hlelo lwebhizinisi ukuthi ngo-2025 umthelela wemvelo womsebenzi weVolvo uzobe usuphelile (ngokwemigomo ye-CO2). Okunye okuhloswe yile nkampani ukuthi okungenani u-35% wabasebenzi bakwaVolvo, ngo-2020, bazobe sebengabesifazane.
Ikusasa eliqhakazile?
Ukuphepha. Ubuchwepheshe. Ukusimama. Ziyizisekelo zeVolvo zeminyaka ezayo. Singafingqa ngalawa magama indlela umkhiqizo obheke ngayo ikusasa.
Ikusasa eligcwele izinselele, esimweni soshintsho oluqhubekayo. Ingabe uhlobo lwaseSweden luzokwazi ukunqoba zonke lezi zinselele? Impendulo itholakala kule minyaka engu-90 yomlando. Sithemba ukuthi ulujabulele lolu hambo. Sizokhuluma futhi eminyakeni eyi-10…
Lokhu okuqukethwe kuxhaswe ngabakwa-
