Ngemuva kwesimemezelo sokuthi imodeli yakamuva ye-Audi enenjini evuthayo izokwethulwa ngo-2026, manje sesifunde ukuthi AbakwaVolkswagen bazoyeka ukudayisa izimoto zenjini evuthayo e-Europe ngo-2035.
Isinqumo simenyezelwe nguKlaus Zellmer, ilungu lebhodi lokuthengisa nokumaketha lenkampani yokwakha yaseJalimane, engxoxweni nephephandaba laseJalimane elithi "Münchner Merkur".
"E-Europe, sizolishiya ibhizinisi lezimoto ezivuthayo phakathi kuka-2033 no-2035. E-China nase-United States kuzohamba kancane," kusho uKlaus Zellmer.
Kubaphathi bomkhiqizo waseJalimane, uhlobo lwevolumu olufana neVolkswagen kumele "luvumelane nesivinini esihlukene soshintsho ezifundeni ezahlukene".
U-Klaus Zellmer, ilungu lebhodi lezokuthengisa nezokumaketha lakwaVolkswagenIzimbangi ezithengisa izimoto ikakhulukazi e-Europe azinzima kangako ekuguquleni ngenxa yezidingo ezicacile zezepolitiki. Sizoqhubeka ngokuqhubekayo nokuqhubekisela phambili ukuhlasela kwethu kukagesi okunamandla, kodwa sifuna ukuvumelanisa nezidingo zamakhasimende ethu.
Ngakho-ke uZellmer uyakubona ukubaluleka kwezinjini ezivuthayo "iminyaka embalwa eyengeziwe", futhi iVolkswagen izoqhubeka nokutshala imali ekuthuthukiseni izitimela zamanje zamandla, okuhlanganisa no-Diesels, noma ngabe lokhu kumelela inselele eyengeziwe.
“Ngenxa yokwethulwa okungenzeka kwezinga le-EU7, udizili uyinselelo ekhethekile. Kodwa akhona amaphrofayili okushayela asafuna kakhulu lolu hlobo lobuchwepheshe, ikakhulukazi kubashayeli abashayela amakhilomitha amaningi”, udalule uZellmer.
Ngaphezu kwalokhu okuhlosiwe okuhlosiwe, kwaVolkswagen baphinde balinganisela ukuthi ngo-2030 izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi zizobalelwa ku-70% wokudayiswa kwazo futhi babeka u-2050 njengomgomo wokuvala ngokuphelele ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezinezinjini ezivuthayo emhlabeni jikelele.
