I-3rd of February 2012 izongena emlandweni, uyazi ukuthi kungani? Ngoba kwakuwusuku umhlaba owabona ngalo ukuzalwa kwemoto yokuqala yezemidlalo kagesi yesiPutukezi!
Nokho, naphezu kwayo yonke le nkinga yezezimali ehlupha iYurophu nezwe, kusekhona abantu basePutukezi abazimisele ukubona iPortugal phezulu futhi, njengoJoão Oliveira, i-CEO ye-VE (Ukukhiqiza Izimoto Zokudonsa Ugesi) , kanye noJosé Quadrado, umongameli we-Electric Traction Vehicles. ISEL (Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa).
Ngesikhathi lapho izimoto zikagesi zithola indawo eyengeziwe emkhakheni wezimoto, i-VE, ngokubambisana ne-ISEL, yanquma ukwakha imoto kagesi esebenza kahle kakhulu ukuze inqobe izixazululo zamanje ezitholakala emakethe. Futhi izolo, eCasino de Lisboa, i-prototype yokuqala yale phrojekthi, i-VEECO RT, yethulwe. Lesi sibonelo sahlolisiswa futhi sadalwa ukuze kuzuzwe ukusebenza kahle okuphezulu kwe-aerodynamic, yingakho sibe nalokhu kucushwa kwe-reverse trike.
Abaningi benu bazokuthola kuxakile lesi simo “sokwehla kwamanzi”, ngoba siyinto ehlukile kulokho ojwayele ukukubona empilweni yansuku zonke, kodwa uma sewazi ukuthi kungani onjiniyela bedale le ndawo engemuva enezici zesithuthuthu, amehlo akho azokwazi khazimula ngokufisa! NgokukaJoão Oliveira, “esimeni samanje somnotho, i-€1 isivumela ukuthi sihambe amakhilomitha ayi-100“… Manje ngiyakubuza, ubani osakhathazekile ngedizayini yangemuva yemoto? Angicabangi ukuthi ukhona...
Okubaluleke nakakhulu, lokhu kucushwa kunezinzuzo eziningi ngokuya nge-aerodynamics kanye nobubanzi bezimoto. Izici zayo zejiyomethri zivumela ukuthola amanani we-coefficient ye-aerodynamic enhle kakhulu futhi ngenxa yesigaba esingemuva esincane, ukungena komoya nokugeleza kumugqa womzimba wonke, izindawo zesiphithiphithi zincane futhi ukuhudula kuncishisiwe.
I-chassis ye-VEECO RT yakhiwe ngensimbi ye-tubular futhi inesikhungo esiphansi sokudonsela phansi - u-70% wesisindo ku-axle yangaphambili kanye no-30% ku-axle yangemuva - ngalezi zici kanye nethrekhi yangaphambili ebanzi, lesi sibonelo sesiPutukezi siphethe ukuzinza okungavamile.

Nge-induction motor kanye ne-electronic speed variator ukusuka ku-30 kW (esibizayo) kuye ku-80 kW (iphezulu), i-VEECO inohlelo lokudonsa oluvumela ukuthi idlule ku-160 km/h wejubane elikhulu futhi ijubane isuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h ngesivinini imizuzwana engu-8. Amabhethri esizukulwane sakamuva se-LiFePO4, anamandla aphakathi kuka-16 no-48 kWh, alawulwa uhlelo lwe-elekthronikhi olukhethekile futhi anikeza umnikazi ibanga eliphakathi kuka-200 no-400 km, kuye ngomthamo webhange lebhethri.
Ngokukhiqizwa "kwevolumu ephansi", iyunithi ngayinye ethengiswayo ihlukile futhi ihlukanisiwe, futhi lolu uhlangothi oluhle lwephrojekthi yokukhiqiza ephansi, njengoba abathengi abazisa imikhiqizo ye-premium banethuba elihle kakhulu lokwenza imoto yabo ngokwezifiso lapha.
Futhi njengoba sikhulume ngokwenza ngendlela oyifisayo, yazi ukuthi i-VEECO iza “ne-interface yomshini womuntu”, okungukuthi, iza nephaneli yolwazi esinika idatha ngesivinini, isimo sokushajwa kwebhethri, amazinga okushisa enjini futhi kunalokho, inikeza amathuba okubuyisela emuva ukusetshenziswa okusheshayo noma amazinga okuvuselela.
Kodwa akugcini lapho… Kwengezwe kuphaneli yolwazi kunephaneli yezinhlelo zokusebenza, ehlanganisa imojula yemultimedia (umsakazo, i-MP3 nesidlali seMP4), imojula yokuzula ye-inthanethi, imojula yezibalo kanye nemojula yokuzula ye-GPS. Ufa! Yeka iqoqo elihle...
Kubalulekile futhi ukuqaphela ukuthi le moto ingakwazi ukuhamba emigwaqweni emikhulu, emigwaqweni emikhulu, nasemabhulohweni.
Amanani awakaziwa, kodwa into eyodwa eqinisekile, i-RazãoAutomóvel izimisele ngokushayela imoto yokuqala yezemidlalo kagesi yesiPutukezi!
