Njengoba izinikele ekukhiqizeni izinjini (ikakhulukazi i-Diesel) iminyaka eminingi, i-Deutz AG yaseJalimane manje seyethula injini yayo yokuqala ye-hydrogen, I-TCG 7.8 H2.
Ngamasilinda akulayini ayisithupha, lena isuselwe enjinini ekhona yakwa-Deutz AG futhi isebenza njenganoma iyiphi enye injini evuthayo yangaphakathi. Umehluko wukuthi lokhu kusha kufezwa “ngokushisa” i-hydrogen esikhundleni sikaphethiloli noma udizili.
Uma ukhumbula, akukona okokuqala sibika ngenjini evuthayo esebenzisa i-hydrogen njengophethiloli. Kulo nyaka abakwaToyota bafake iCorolla enenjini ye-hydrogen ku-NAPAC Fuji Super TEC 24 Hours - ngendlela eyimpumelelo, ngesikhathi bekwazi ukuqeda umjaho.
Ngokuka-Deutz AG, le njini ingase isetshenziswe ngokufanayo nezinye izinjini zomkhiqizo, ikwazi ukusetshenziswa kugandaganda, imishini yokwakha, amaloli, izitimela noma njengejeneretha. Kodwa-ke, uma kubhekwa inethiwekhi yokuhlinzeka nge-hydrogen eshodayo, inkampani yaseJalimane ekuqaleni ihlose ukusetshenziswa njengejeneretha noma ezitimeleni.
Cishe isilungele ukukhiqizwa
Ngemva kokuhlabeka umxhwele ekuhlolweni “kwelebhu”, i-TCG 7.8 H2 ilungiselela ukungena esigabeni esisha ngo-2022: leso sokuhlola umhlaba wangempela. Kuze kube manje, i-Deutz AG ibambisene nenkampani yaseJalimane ezoyisebenzisa njengejeneretha kagesi emishinini enganyakazi kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo.
Inhloso yalo msebenzi wokulinga ukukhombisa ukusebenza kokusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke kwenjini eletha ingqikithi yamandla angu-200 kW (272 hp) kanye nokuthi inkampani yaseJalimane ihlose ukwethula emakethe ekuqaleni kuka-2024.
Ngokuka-Deutz AG, le njini igcwalisa “zonke izindlela ezichazwe yi-EU zokuhlukanisa injini njengeyiziro ezikhishwa yi-CO2”.
Kusese ku-TCG 7.8 H2, uMqondisi Omkhulu wakwa-Deutz AG uFrank Hiller uthe: Sesivele sakha izinjini “ezihlanzekile” nezisebenza kahle kakhulu. Manje sithatha isinyathelo esilandelayo: injini yethu ye-hydrogen isilungele ukudayiswa. Lokhu kumelela ingqophamlando ebalulekile ezosiza ukufaka isandla ekufezeni izinhloso zesimo sezulu saseParis”.
