“Kunjalo, ngezinye izikhathi kuyinselelo eyedlulele ukuhamba kulo mkhumbi wamathangi nokulinganisa izintshisekelo (ezihlukile),” kusho u-Matthias Mueller, umqondisi omkhulu weVolkswagen Group. Ngemva kokuziveza esidlangalaleni izinhloso zeVolkswagen zokunciphisa ukuncintisana kwe-Skoda, uhlobo lwayo lokufinyelela, u-Mueller manje usefuna izindlela zokuthi wonke umuntu aphile ngokuzwana okukhulu.
Kuze kube manje, iqembu lizofuna ukuhlukanisa ngokucacile phakathi kohlobo lweVolkswagen, Skoda kanye neSEAT, kuncishiswe ukugqagqana kwemikhiqizo ngaleyo ndlela kunciphise ukungezwani kwangaphakathi. U-Mueller kanye nebhodi eliphezulu leqembu babeke ukugxila okusha kwemikhiqizo emithathu yevolumu emakethe yaseYurophu, ngokusekelwe emaqenjini abathengi ahlosiwe angu-14.
Umgomo, ngokusho kuka-Mueller, ukuzuza ukukhava okuphelele kwemakethe, kodwa ngezindawo ezicacile zezenzo zomkhiqizo ngamunye, ngaphandle kokugqagqana. Kulokho, kuzofanele kube nokusetshenziswa okungcono kunalokhu esikubona njengamanje kuma-synergies akhona eqenjini.
The Skoda Competition
Abaphathi bakwaVolkswagen nezinyunyana babheke ukunciphisa ukuncintisana kwe-Skoda, ukudlulisela ingxenye yokukhiqiza kwayo eJalimane futhi baphoqe umkhiqizo ukuthi ukhokhele kakhulu ubuchwepheshe obabiwe. Ngokusobala umuntu angalindela ukusabela komkhiqizo waseCzech.Inyunyana eyinhloko e-Skoda isivele isongela ngokusikeka esikhathini esengeziwe esisetshenziwe, ngenxa yokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ingxenye yokukhiqiza ihambe iye eJalimane, ibeka imisebenzi engozini emayunithi aseCzech. Futhi akugcini ngezinyunyana - uNdunankulu waseCzech, u-Bohuslav Sobotka, usevele ufuna umhlangano nobuholi bomkhiqizo.
I-Porsche ne-Audi kufanele bahlele izinaliti
Ukuma kwebhrendi kusaqhubeka nokuba yinkinga ethinta inhliziyo eqenjini. Ngisho noma kukhulunywa ngemikhiqizo yayo ephambili - iPorsche ne-Audi - bazophinde babone ukuma kwayo okuhluke kakhulu. Ukungezwani phakathi kwalaba ababili kuphinde kwaphawulwa esidlangalaleni, kungaba ngesobuholi emsamo noma ekuthuthukisweni kobuchwepheshe noma ngezindleko zeDieselgate.
Naphezu kokuhlukana, lezi zinhlobo ezimbili zibambisana ndawonye ekuthuthukiseni isiteji esisha kuphela sezimoto zikagesi, okuthiwa i-PPE (i-Premium Platform Electric), lapho kuzothathwa khona imindeni emithathu yamamodeli: eyodwa ye-Porsche futhi emibili ye-Audi.
