Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule sathola ukuthi i-Ineos Grenadier yayingeke ikhiqizwe (ingxenye) e-Estarreja, manje sithola ukuthi i-INEOS Automotive izokhiqiza kuphi yonke indawo efanelekile kubalandeli be-Land Rover Defender yasekuqaleni.
Ukuqinisekisa izinhloso zokukhiqiza yonke indawo "eyunithi yezimboni esezivele isebenza, isizakala abasebenzi abanomlando wokwakha endaweni yezimoto kanye namandla obuchwepheshe afakiwe", i-INEOS Automotive imemezele ukuthengwa kwemboni yakwaMercedes-Benz eHambach. , lapho kukhiqizwa khona i-Smart EQ fortwo.
Uma ukhumbula, u-Daimler ubelokhu efuna ukuthengisa ifektri yesiFulentshi isikhathi eside, lapho, kusukela ngo-1997, kuye kwakhiqizwa amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2.2 ezizukulwaneni ezihlukahlukene zezizukulwane ezimbili (nakamuva nje ezine). Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi, ngemva kokudayisa u-50% we-Smart kwa-Geely, u-Daimler uvumile ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa nokukhiqizwa kwesizukulwane esilandelayo sabahlali basedolobheni lomkhiqizo kuzodluliselwa e-China.
USir Jim Ratcliffe, uMongameli we-INEOS GroupIHambach isinike ithuba eliyingqayizivele, esingeke sikwazi ukuliziba: ukuthola indawo yokukhiqiza izimoto yesimanje enabasebenzi abasezingeni lomhlaba.
ubuphakathi buyisihluthulelo
Mayelana nalokhu kuthenga, i-INEOS Automotive igqamisa ukuthi "iqinisekisa ikusasa leyunithi, kanye nokuvikela imisebenzi eminingi", iphawula ukuthi indawo yayo emngceleni we-Franco-German, 200 km ukusuka eStuttgart, ihlinzeka ngamaketanga okuhlinzeka ngokufinyelela okunelungelo, ithalenta lemboni yezimoto. kanye nezimakethe eziqondiwe.Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ngokwesitatimende esikhishwe yi-INEOS Automotive, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili kufanele zivumelane ukuqhubeka nokukhiqiza i-Smart EQ fortwo kanye nezinye izingxenye zeMercedes-Benz embonini yaseHambach. Lokhu kuzohumushela emisebenzini engaba ngu-1300.
UDirk Heilmann, oyi-CEO ye-INEOS Automotive,Lokhu kutholwa kuphawula ingqopha-mlando yethu enkulu kuze kube manje ekuthuthukisweni kweGrenadier. Ngokuhambisana nohlelo oluphelele lokuhlola ama-prototypes aqhubekayo, manje singakwazi ukuqala amalungiselelo okuqala kokukhiqizwa e-Hambach yethu i-4X4 kusukela ekupheleni konyaka ozayo, ukuze ilethwe kumakhasimende ethu emhlabeni wonke .
I-Hydrogen nayo iyabheja
Ngaphezu kokumemezela ukuthengwa kwemboni yakwaHambach kwaDaimler, i-INEOS Automotive iphinde yamemezela ukusayinwa kwememorandamu yokuzwana nabakwaHyundai ukuze, ndawonye, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zihlole amathuba amasha ahlobene nomnotho we-hydrogen.
Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukukhiqizwa nokuhlinzekwa kwe-hydrogen, amamodeli ebhizinisi, ubuchwepheshe obusha nezindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa i-hydrogen. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zizophinde zibambisane ekuhloleni ukusetshenziswa kwesistimu ye-Fuel Cell Hyundai e-INEOS Grenadier.
Esimeni lapho ubungazi, nge-subsidiary yayo INOVYN, i-INEOS okwamanje iyi-opharetha enkulu kunazo zonke ekhona ye-electrolysis eYurophu, ubuchwepheshe obusebenzisa amandla avuselelekayo ukukhiqiza i-hydrogen ukuze kukhiqizwe amandla, izindlela zokuthutha nokusetshenziswa kwezimboni.
