Adonse umoya kakhulu..." THE yenziwe kahle Ç izingxenye, T wena kanye simulati? THE cha, amathuluzi we P owertrains ezihlanganisa U Injini enesivinini esikhulu s izixazululo" noma iphrojekthi INGWANE (i-octopus) igama lephrojekthi yocwaningo yakamuva ye-Bentley.
Iphrojekthi yeminyaka emithathu ehlose ukwenza inqubekelaphambili kumamotho kagesi kanye nalo lonke uchungechunge lwe-kinematic, kuthatha njengesiqalo iziphetho zophenyo lwangaphambilini olwathatha izinyanga eziyi-18.
Iziphetho zalolu phenyo mayelana nomshini omusha kagesi zibonisa ukusebenza okuphakeme kwamamotho kazibuthe ahlala njalo, okugqamisa iqiniso lokuthi akusadingeki ukusebenzisa izibuthe zomhlaba eziyivelakancane (naphezu kwegama, maningi kakhulu), noma amawindi ethusi.
Ngale ndlela, bathola izinzuzo hhayi kuphela ngokwezindleko, kodwa futhi baqinisekise ukuthi iyasebenziseka kabusha lapho ukuphila kwayo okusebenzisekayo kuphela.
Le phrojekthi ayigxili kuphela ku-motor kagesi ngokwayo, kodwa futhi ekuthuthukisweni kwe-electronics yokudlulisa kanye nokupakishwa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo yethula "izinto zokukhiqiza ezilandelayo, izinqubo zokukhiqiza kanye nemijikelezo yokulingisa nokuhlola".
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ekugcineni, iphrojekthi ye-OCTOPUS izofinyelela umvuthwandaba nge-axle entsha yokushayela ugesi, kodwa ngamazinga amasha okuhlanganiswa nokusebenza, ngokusho kukaBentley.
Sizokwazi nini ukubona imiphumela ebonakalayo yale phrojekthi kumodeli yokukhiqiza? UStefan Fischer, umqondisi we-powertrain engineering kwa-Bentley Motors, uyaphendula:
“Akuyona imfihlo isifiso sethu sokuhola ekunikezeni abantu abahamba phambili ngokunethezeka, (ngohlelo) Beyond100. Sinomgwaqo ocacile lapho sizoba nenketho ye-hybrid kuwo wonke amamodeli ngo-2023 (...), futhi umgomo wethu olandelayo udlulela ku-Bentley esebenza ngogesi wonke ngo-2026.”
Iphrojekthi ye-OCTOPUS isekelwa i-OLEV (Ihhovisi Lezimoto Ezikhipha Kancane Kancane), ngokubambisana ne-Innovate UK (isikhungo sokusungula e-United Kingdom).
