Ukuze kuzuzwe ukungathathi hlangothi kwe-carbon ngo-2050, i Iqembu leVolkswagen iphendulele ukunaka kwayo ekukhiqizweni kwemikhumbi umgomo wayo ukuthutha izimoto zayo.
Ngakho, ngemva kokusebenzisa imikhumbi kaConfucius ne-Aristotle (edla igesi yemvelo) emizileni enqamula i-Atlantic, iVolkswagen Group ilungiselela ukushintsha uphethiloli osetshenziswa imikhumbi emzileni waseYurophu.
Uphethiloli okhethiwe ubizwa ngokuthi i-MR1-100 (kanye ne-"100" ehambisana nephesenti lezinto zokusetshenziswa ezivuselelekayo ezisetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni kwayo, okungukuthi, i-100% evuselelekayo) futhi ikhiqizwa yinkampani yaseDutch iGoodFuels.
Ikhiqizwe ngokukhethekile emafutheni adliwayo namafutha avela embonini yokudla, le biofuel ingasetshenziswa ngaphandle kokuguqulwa komshini emikhunjini.
ukuncipha okukhulu
Ngokusho kwama-akhawunti weVolkswagen Group, ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sitsha se-biofuel emikhunjini emibili esetshenziswa emizileni yaseYurophu kuzovumela ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni ezungeze amathani ayizinkulungwane ezingama-52 we-CO2 ngonyaka okungukuthi, 85%.Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ngaphezu kokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-CO2, ukusetshenziswa kwe-MR1-100 iphinde ivumele ukuqedwa kokukhishwa kwesulphur oxide (ezindaweni ezisogwini ezingasakwazi ukuba ngaphezu kuka-0.1%).
imikhumbi
Njengoba inamamitha angu-180 ubude namandla okuthutha izimoto ezingu-3500, imikhumbi emibili ezodla ukusetshenziswa kwe-MR1-100 Izinjini ze-MAN ezine-19 334 hp (14 220 kW)! Ziphethwe uF. Laeisz waseHamburg, zisebenza emzileni oyindilinga eYurophu.
Lokhu kubasusa e-Emden eJalimane kuya eDublin e-Ireland, bese kubayisa e-Santander e-Spain nase-Setúbal. Njalo ngonyaka, lezi zithutha cishe izimoto eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-250 zohlobo lweVolkswagen Group.
Mayelana nokwamukelwa kwalesi siphehli sikaphethiloli, uThomas Zernechel, oyiNhloko yakwaVolkswagen Group, uthe: “Singabakhi bokuqala ukusebenzisa la mafutha ngezinga elikhulu. Ngale ndlela, sifaka amafutha amadala ukuze asetshenziswe ngendlela ehambisana nemvelo.”
