I-XC40 Recharge, ugesi wokuqala wakwaVolvo ongu-100%, ayikafikanga emakethe futhi u-Håkan Samuelsson, umqondisi omkhulu womkhiqizi (CEO), useya phambili namathuba okuthi lowo ozongena esikhundleni se-XC90, efika ngo-2021, angaba kahle kakhulu. iVolvo yakamuva enenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi.
Amathuba abekwe phambili engxoxweni nabantu baseNyakatho Melika e-Car and Driver, lapho uSamuelsson echaza kabanzi ngohlelo lokuthi u-50% wawo wonke ama-Volvo akhiqizwayo azoba amamodeli kagesi angu-100%, ngo-2025. umakhi.
Kungani kunesabelo esikhulu kangaka? USamuelsson uyakuthethelela ngezibikezelo zokuthi ingxenye yeprimiyamu iyona ezokhula kakhulu ngokuzayo kanye naleyo ezoba ngogesi owengeziwe:
“Singaqagela ukuthi kuzothatha isikhathi esingakanani ukuthi zonke izimoto eziphambili zisebenze ngogesi, kodwa sesifinyelele esiphethweni sokuthi uma sifuna ukukhula ngokushesha kumele sigxile kuleso sigaba. Kuhlakaniphe kakhulu kithi (ukushintshela kugesi) kunokuzama ukuthatha ingxenye yemakethe engxenyeni yezimoto evamile eqhubeka nokuncipha.”
Ugesi, Ugesi Yonke Indawo
Ukuze ufinyelele isabelo esifiselekayo, lindela amanye ama-electric amaningi kwa-Volvo eminyakeni ezayo. Elandelayo ifika ngo-2021 futhi izosekelwe kusisekelo esifanayo se-CMA (Compact Modular Architecture) njenge-XC40 ne-Polestar 2. U-Håkan Samuelsson uphakamisa ukuthi le modeli entsha izosebenza ngogesi kuphela.Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Okunye futhi okukhethekile okukagesi yilokho okuthembisa ukuba yimodeli entsha, ehlangene kakhudlwana, ebekwe ngaphansi kwe-XC40 - amahlebezi aphakamisa i-XC20 ecatshangelwayo - ezophendukela kunkundla entsha eqondene nezikagesi ezivela kwa-Geely, SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture).
Ozongena esikhundleni se-XC90 uzophinde abe nokuhluka kukagesi okungu-100% okuzohlanganisa okuhlukile kwe-mild-hybrid kanye ne-plug-in hybrid.
Okokugcina kwe… Volvo enenjini evuthayo?
Kuzwakala njengesinye isahluko serubrikhi yethu, “Esokugcina kwe...”, okuthi, uma kubhekwa amazwi e-CEO yakwaVolvo, kungase kudingeke ukuthi sikubhale ngokushesha kunokuba kamuva. I-XC90 entsha, ezokwethulwa ngonyaka ozayo, ingase ibe ngeyokugcina kwaVolvo ukuba nenjini evuthayo ngaphansi kwesivalo.
Nokho, kusenokungabaza mayelana nokuthi kuzoba ngeyokugcina yini, okuvunywe nguSamuelsson. Nakuba ezimakethe ezifana ne-Europe kanye ne-China ukufakwa kukagesi kubonakala sengathi kuyakhula, okufanayo akwenzeki kwezinye izingxenye zeplanethi, lapho uphawu lwaseSweden lunamandla khona, njengeNyakatho Melika. Lawa makhasimende kufanele aqinisekiswe ezinye izinketho, njengama-hybrids.
Imibuzo ehlobene nejubane lokunwetshwa kwengqalasizinda eshajayo ngisho nokwamukelwa ngamakhasimende kungasho ukuthi kuhlehliswe ukufakwa kukagesi ngokugcwele kwaVolvo. Kodwa-ke, isifiso seVolvo sivezwa ngamandla ngu-Håkan Samuelsson:
"Isifiso sethu wukuba ngogesi ngokugcwele ngaphambi kokuthi kube yimpoqo kohulumeni."
