I-Volvo Penta, ingxenye yeQembu leVolvo elizinikele ekuthuthukisweni nasekukhiqizeni izingxenye nezinjini ezizosetshenziswa ezimbonini, yaqala ukwenza amamotho kagesi okuqala azohlomisa iloli lezicishamlilo elisha nelinenguquko, elibizwa nge-Rosenbauer RT.
Idalwe nguRosenbauer, leli loli lathuthukiswa ngokubambisana neVolvo Penta, eyayiphethe lonke uhlelo lokushayela, olusekelwe kumamotho kagesi amane futhi athuthukiswa kusukela ekuqaleni kwaleli loli.
Kulezi zinjini ezine, zimbili kuphela ezisetshenziselwa ukudonsa imoto futhi zikhiqiza amandla angu-350 kW, okulingana no-474 hp. Injini yesithathu isetshenziswa njengejeneretha kanti eyesine isetshenziswa ukuqhuba izinhlelo zezimoto ezihlukene kakhulu, okuhlanganisa nenganono yegwebu ebekwe ophahleni.
Ekunika amandla konke lokhu ibhethri ye-lithium-ion enamandla angu-100kWh, kodwa uma amandla ephela, injini engu-3.0-litre kadizili enamasilinda ayisithupha—okwakuqala iBMW—esebenza njenge-range extender, ukuze le moto ayi "ngaphandle kokulwa".
Emodini kagesi engu-100%, leli loli lizokwazi ukuhamba amakhilomitha angu-100, kanti injini ye-BMW Diesel iyakwazi ukwengeza omunye u-500 km wokuzimela ohlelweni.
Ngokusho kweVolvo Penta, inselele kwakuwukuhlanganisa zonke lezi zinhlelo ukuze zisebenze ngokuhambisana, futhi ngaphezu kwesistimu yokushayela, inkampani yaseSweden iphinde yakha iyunithi yokupholisa esebenzayo esebenza ngama-volts angu-600, esikhundleni sama-volts angu-24 ajwayelekile.
Ngakho, futhi ngenxa yale yunithi enamandla, uhlelo lokupholisa alukwazi nje ukugcina izinga lokushisa lebhethri "lilawulwa" kodwa futhi liyakwazi ukupholisa ezinye izingxenye zale moto.
Isithombe singase sibe yikusasa, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi leli loli lomlilo lekusasa - elinamandla amalitha angu-2000 amanzi kanye namalitha angu-200 wegwebu - selivele lisebenza, namayunithi okuqala akhiwe ukuze abe yingxenye yezinhlelo zokushayela emadolobheni. njengeBerlin ne-Amsterdam.
Kodwa uchungechunge lokukhiqizwa kwaleli loli akukude futhi ubufakazi bokugcina balokhu ukuthi iVolvo Penta isivele iqalile ukukhiqiza uhlelo lokushayela ugesi oluzoyijabulisa.
