IVolvo isanda kuthatha elinye igxathu elibalulekile ekukhiqizweni kwezimoto ezingathathi hlangothi ngokwezemvelo, njengoba imboni yabo eseTorslanda (Sweden) isanda kuzuza umthelela ongathathi hlangothi kwezemvelo.
Nakuba lena kuyimboni yokuqala yezimoto yakwaVolvo engathathi hlangothi, iyiyunithi yesibili yokukhiqiza yomkhiqizi waseSweden ukufeza lesi simo, ngaleyo ndlela ijoyina imboni yenjini eSkövde, nayo eseSweden.
Ukuze kuzuzwe lokhu kungathathi hlangothi, ukusetshenziswa kwesimiso esisha sokushisisa nokusetshenziswa kukagesi kwakubalulekile.
Ngokusho komkhiqizi osenyakatho yeYurophu, lesi sitshalo "sinikwe amandla yimithombo kagesi engathathi hlangothi kusukela ngo-2008 futhi manje sinesistimu yokushisa engathathi hlangothi", kusukela ingxenye yemvelaphi yayo "ivela ku-biogas, kanti enye ingxenye inikezwa ngohlelo lokushisa lukamasipala. etholwe ekushiseni okulahlwa yizimboni”.
Ngaphezu kokufeza ukungathathi hlangothi kwemvelo, lesi sitshalo siphinde sifuna ukunciphisa inani lamandla esiwasebenzisayo. Ukuthuthukiswa okwethulwe ngo-2020 kuholele ekongeni amandla onyaka acishe abe ngu-7000 MWh, inani elilingana namandla onyaka asetshenziswa yimindeni engama-450.
Eminyakeni embalwa ezayo, inhloso iwukuqhubeka nokunciphisa inani lamandla asetshenziswayo, futhi ngenxa yale njongo izinhlelo zokukhanyisa nezokushisisa zizobuyekezwa, okungase kuphumele ekongeni okwengeziwe okungaba ngu-20 000 MWh ngo-2023.
Lokhu kongiwa kukagesi kuyingxenye yesifiso esikhulu kakhulu senkampani, okuhloswe ngaso ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ngemoto ngayinye ekhiqizwa ngo-30% ngo-2025. Futhi yiwona kanye lo nyaka lapho kuchazwa enye inhloso enkulu yeVolvo: ukwenza inethiwekhi yokukhiqiza umhlaba ongathathi hlangothi kwezemvelo.
Umqondisi wokusebenza kwezimboni kanye nekhwalithi kwaVolvo CarsSihlose ukuthi inethiwekhi yethu yokukhiqiza yomhlaba wonke ingathathi hlangothi ngokuphelele ngo-2025 futhi namuhla sinikeza uphawu lokuthi sizimisele ukufeza lokhu nokuthi sisebenzela ukunciphisa umthelela wethu emvelweni.
Khumbula ukuthi uhlobo lwaseSweden seluvele lumemezele ukuthi lufuna ukuba inkampani engathathi hlangothi kwezemvelo ngo-2040.
