Ngemuva kokuthi abakwaMercedes-Benz nabakwa-Audi bememezele ukuthi sebezoyeka ukwakhiwa kwezinjini ezintsha, kube yithuba labakwaBMW ukuthi baphawule ngalolu daba, baqinisekisa ukuthi, engenanhloso yokuyeka ukwakha izinjini ezintsha ezivuthayo zangaphakathi.
Ngu-Oliver Zipse, umqondisi omkhulu wakwa-BMW, osho njalo, ecashunwe nguPhil LeBeau, intatheli ye-CNBC, egcizelela lokho ayesesitshele khona esikhathini esingangonyaka esidlule, engxoxweni, lapho ethi: “Sizomisa kuphela izinjini zokukhiqiza. lapho engasekho amakhasimende ongawadayisela”.
Noma kunjalo, lokhu kuvela kuyisikhangiso esimangazayo. Ngaphandle kwezinqumo ezithathwe yizimbangi iMercedes-Benz ne-Audi, enye yezinhlobo zeBMW Group, iMINI, isanda kumemezela ukuthi isilungiselela ukulahla izinjini ezivuthayo, isikuqinisekisile ukuthi imodeli yayo yakamuva enalolu hlobo lwenjini ifika ngo. 2025 Kusukela lapho, uhlobo lwaseBrithani luzokwethula kuphela amamodeli kagesi ayi-100%.
Umbono ka-Oliver Zipse nge-BMW wehluke kakhulu, njengoba umphathi waseJalimane ekholelwa ukuthi "isidingo sezimoto ezinezinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi zizohlala ziqinile iminyaka eminingi ezayo."
Isikhulu seBMW u-Oliver Zipse uthi #BMW ayinazo izinhlelo zokumisa ukuthuthukisa izinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi ngoba isidingo sezimoto ze-ICE sizohlala siqinile iminyaka eminingi ezayo.

Kodwa naphezu kwale nkolelo, uhlobo lwaseMunich aluhleli nje ukuba yisibukeli soguquko lukagesi embonini yezimoto, futhi lunezifiso eziqinile kuleso sahluko, njengoba lulindele ukuthi ingxenye yokuthengiswa kwayo ngo-2030 kube izimoto zikagesi. .
Khumbula ukuthi inkampani yaseJalimane isanda kwethula i-i4 ne-iX, izinhlobo ezimbili zikagesi ezingu-100% ezizofika emakethe kulo nyaka futhi zijoyine iphothifoliyo ekhulayo yamamodeli axhaswe ngokukhethekile ngabakwaBMW, asebenayo i-i3 compact kanye ne-iX3 SUV.
Kodwa njengoba u-Markus Duesmann, umphathi jikelele wakwa-Audi, ezimisele ukusikhumbuza muva nje, lapho eveza ukuthi uhlobo olunezindandatho ezine ngeke luphinde luthuthukise izinjini ezintsha zangaphakathi (luzomane luthuthukise amayunithi akhona edizili nophethiloli), hhayi zonke izimakethe zinethemba elikhulu mayelana nezikagesi - noma ezikwazi ukuzisekela - njengeyaseYurophu, ukuze izinjini ezivuthayo zizoqhubeka zibalulekile, ikakhulukazi ngaphandle kwezwekazi elidala.
