Ibizwa ngokuthi " Uhlelo S ", imele ukutshalwa kwezimali okungaba ngu-22.55 billion euros kuze kube ngu-2025 futhi ngayo i-Kia ihlose ukuhola uguquko lwemakethe ezimotweni zikagesi. Kodwa lelisu lizophinde lilethe ini?
Kwabaqalayo, kuletha amagoli afuna ukuvelela. Ngaphandle kwalokho, ekupheleni kuka-2025, iKia ifuna u-25% wokudayiswa kwayo kube izimoto eziluhlaza (20% kagesi). Ngo-2026, umgomo uwukuthengisa, ngonyaka, izimoto zikagesi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-500 emhlabeni jikelele kanye namayunithi ayisigidi/ngonyaka wezimoto zemvelo (ama-hybrids, ama-plug-in hybrids kanye nogesi).
Ngokwama-akhawunti akwaKia, lezi zibalo kufanele zivumele ukuthi ifinyelele emakethe ka-6.6% engxenyeni yezimoto zikagesi emhlabeni jikelele.
Ungafinyelela kanjani kulezi zinombolo?
Vele, amanani afiselekayo akwa-Kia awakwazi ukufezwa ngaphandle kohlu olugcwele lwamamodeli. Ngakho-ke, i-“Plan S” ibona kusengaphambili ukwethulwa kwamamodeli kagesi ayi-11 ngo-2025. Enye yezithakazelisa kakhulu ifika ngo-2021.

Ngonyaka ozayo i-Kia izokwethula imodeli kagesi wonke esekelwe endaweni entsha ezinikele (uhlobo lwe-Kia MEB). Ngokusobala, lo mfanekiso kufanele usekelwe ku-prototype ethi “Imagine by Kia” eyethulwa yinkampani yaseNingizimu Korea embukisweni wezimoto iGeneva Motor Show ngonyaka odlule.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Kia ihlela ukukhulisa ukuthengiswa kwama-tram ngokwethula lawa mamodeli ezimakethe ezisafufusa (lapho futhi ifuna ukwandisa ukuthengiswa kwamamodeli enjini evuthayo).
Kungalesi sibonelo lapho kuzokwakhiwa khona imodeli yokuqala ka-Kia kagesi wonke.
Izinkonzo zokuhamba nazo ziyingxenye yohlelo.
Ngaphezu kwamamodeli amasha, nge-“S Plan” Kia iphinde ihlose ukuqinisa isikhundla sayo emakethe yezinsizakalo zokuhamba.Ngakho-ke, uhlobo lwaseNingizimu Korea lubona kusengaphambili ukudalwa kwezinkundla zokuhamba lapho luhlose ukuhlola khona amamodeli ebhizinisi afana nokuhlelwa kwezimoto nokugcinwa kwezimoto, kanye nokusebenzisa izinsiza zokuhamba ezisekelwe ezimotweni zikagesi nezizimele (esikhathini eside).
Ekugcineni, abakwaHyundai/Kia baphinde bajoyina i-Arrival yokuqala ngenhloso yokuthuthukisa inkundla kagesi ye-PBV (Purpose Build Vehicles). Inhloso, ngokusho kwe-Kia, ukuhola imakethe ye-PBV yamakhasimende ezinkampani, ukunikeza inkundla lapho kungakhiwa khona imoto yokuthengisa ehambisana nezidingo zenkampani.
I-Kia e-Niro
"Ukuhlaselwa" ezimotweni zikagesi, okwamanje, i-Kia e-Niro entsha, ejoyina i-e-Soul esivele idaluliwe. Yinde kancane (+25mm) futhi yinde (+20mm) kunezinye i-Niro, kodwa i-e-Niro iyazihlukanisa “kubafowabo” kuphela ngamalambu ayo, i-grille evaliwe kanye namasondo angu-17” kuphela.
Ngokwemibandela yezobuchwepheshe, i-e-Niro izotholakala kuphela e-Portugal ngokuhluka kwayo okunamandla kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, iKia electric crossover iziveza emakethe yethu enamandla angu-204 hp kanye ne-torque engu-395 Nm futhi isebenzisa ibhethri enamandla angu-64 kWh.
Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi uhambe amakhilomitha angama-455 phakathi kwezindleko (KwaKia baphinde baveza ukuthi kumasekethe asemadolobheni ukuzibusa kungafinyelela ku-650 km) futhi kungashajwa ngemizuzu engu-42 nje ngesokhethi engu-100 kW. Kwi-Wall Box enamandla angu-7.2 kW, ukushaja kuthatha amahora amahlanu nemizuzu engu-50.
Ihlelelwe ukufika emakethe ngo-Ephreli, I-e-Niro izotholakala kusukela ku-€49,500 kumakhasimende angasese. Kodwa-ke, uhlobo lwaseNingizimu Korea luzoba nomkhankaso ozokwehlisa intengo ku-45,500 euros. Ngokuqondene nezinkampani, zizokwazi ukuthenga i-e-Niro nge-€35 800+VAT.
