Njengoba sasithuthuke ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule, uhlelo lokuhlela kabusha lweqembu lesiWelsh - lwabizwa Ukuvuselelwa kabusha - izoletha izici eziningi ezintsha kwaRenault futhi, ngokusobala, sizobona ukubuya kwesakhiwo sodumo iRenault 5, esilindelwe lapha ngu I-Renault 5 Prototype futhi kuzoba… okukagesi kuphela.
Kodwa kukhona okunye… Sekukonke, kuzoba namamodeli amasha ayi-14 azokwethulwa ngo-2025 kuphela ohlotsheni lweRenault, ngendlela ecasulayo ayibiza nge-“Nouvelle Vague”.
Ngayo, i-Renault ihlose ukuletha "isimanjemanje ku-panorama yezimoto yaseYurophu" futhi iziguqule ibe "umkhiqizo wobuchwepheshe, izinsizakalo namandla ahlanzekile".
I-Electrify ibalulekile
Ezinhlotsheni ezingu-14 ezintsha ezizokwethulwa kwaRenault ngo-2025, eziyisikhombisa zizoba zikagesi ongu-100% kanti eziyisikhombisa zizobe zisezigabeni zika-C no-D.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Isifiso sakwaRenault wukuqinisekisa ukuthi, ekupheleni kuka-2025, izingxenye eziphezulu zizomela u-45% wokudayiswa. Nokho kuyacaca ukuthi “inkanyezi yenkampani” iyona kanye elindelwe yiRenault 5 Prototype eyethulwe manje.
Ngokusho kwabakwaRenault, inhloso yeRenault 5 Prototype ilula: “ukukhombisa ukuthi kwaRenault bazoyibusa intando yeningi imoto kagesi e-Europe, ngendlela yesimanje yemoto edumile”.
Ngokubikezelwa, akukabikho datha mayelana ne-Renault 5 kagesi yesikhathi esizayo, ngisho nosuku lokwethulwa kwayo, noma kunjalo, ugqozi lwe-prototype eklanywe ithimba lokuklama likaGilles Vidal kumodeli yasekuqaleni akunakuphikwa.
Into ebaluleke kakhulu mayelana ne-Renault 5 Prototype ukuthi imininingwane yesitayela ethathwe ku-original ifihla imisebenzi yesimanje. Isibonelo, ukungena komoya ku-hood kufihla indawo yokugcina impahla, amalambu angemuva anama-aerodynamic deflector kanti ama-fog lights kubhampa amalambu okushayela emini.
Ubuchwepheshe ku-ajenda
Ngokohlelo lokuhlela kabusha oselumenyezelwe, iRenault izogxila emikhakheni emithathu yokuncintisana. Okokuqala, uhlobo lwesiFulentshi lufuna ukuba uphawu lobuchwepheshe. Kulokhu, izodala i-ecosystem yedijithali ebizwa ngokuthi “Software République”.
Inhloso yalesi simiso semvelo ukuvumela i-Renault namanye amalungu asungula ukuba “athuthukise amakhono, aqinise ulwazi lwaseYurophu futhi avikele ubukhosi bawo kubuchwepheshe obubalulekile, kusukela “ku-Big Data” kuya kogesi”. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izophinde ivumele iRenault ukuthi ihlinzeke izimoto zayo “ngobuhlakani bokwenziwa obungcono kakhulu kanye nezinhlelo ze-cybersecurity”.
I-Renault ifuna nokuba uhlobo lwesevisi, ngenhloso yokuhlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezixhumeke kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, ngo-2022 iRenault izokwethula uhlelo olusha lwe-infotainment oluthi “Isixhumanisi sami”. Ngokusekelwe kubuchwepheshe be-Google Built-In, kuzokwenza i-Renault ibe umkhiqizi wezimoto wokuqala ukunikeza izinsizakalo ze-Google ezimotweni ezinkulu zokukhiqiza.
Khona manjalo, iRenault izophinde igxile ekulungisweni kwezimoto ekade zasetshenziswa ngemboni yayo iRe-Factory eseFlins (France). Le mboni yakwaRenault njengamanje ikhiqiza iZoe, kodwa izophinde ilungise izimoto esezike yasetshenziswa ezingaphezu kuka-100,000 ngonyaka futhi izoguqula nezimoto zikadizili zibe izimoto zikagesi noma ze-biogas.
I-Hydrogen nayo iyabheja
Ekugcineni, iRenault ihlose nokuba umholi oguqukweni lwamandla, iziguqule ibe “umkhiqizo wamandla ahlanzekile”.
Ukuze yenze kanjalo, ngeke nje igcine ukuzibophezela kwayo kumamodeli we-plug-in hybrid kanye ne-hybrid esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-E-Tech, kodwa izophinde yethule (njengoba sesike sakutshela) umndeni wemikhiqizo ngokusekelwe ezisekelweni zayo zikagesi ezizinikele: i-CMF-EV kanye ne-CMF -B EV.
Nokho, ukubheja “ngamandla ahlanzekile” akugcini lapho, futhi i-hydrogen izophinde ibe yingxenye yokubheja kwesikhathi esizayo kwaRenault, ihlela ukunikeza izixazululo ezisekelwe kulobu buchwepheshe obulungele ukuthengiswa ezimakethe zeLight Commercial.
Ukwenza lokhu, iRenault Group ihlanganyele nenkampani ye-Plug Power, yakha i-joint venture (50-50) ezinze eFrance, okuhloswe ngayo ukuzuza ingxenye engu-30% yemakethe yezimoto ezisebenza nge-hydrogen-powered light commercial.
