Sonke sizwe isiqubulo esithi “ungaphuzi uma ushayela”. Nokho, akukho okushiwo ukuthi asikwazi ukufaka uphuzo oludakayo endaweni yethu yokugcina izimoto. Lokhu kubonakala sengathi kwakuyisizathu sikaNkosana uCharles waseNgilandi lapho enquma ukuguqula eyakhe I-Aston Martin DB6 Isondo Lokuqondisa ukuze isebenze namafutha enziwe ngewayini elimhlophe.
I-European Union inemikhawulo eqinile ekukhiqizweni kwewayini, futhi noma yikuphi ukukhiqizwa okweqile ngeke kudayiselwe umphakathi, kuphinde kusetshenziswe ukwakha ama-biofuels. Kusukela lapho kuze kube yindlalifa yesihlalo sobukhosi saseBrithani (oyisazi sezemvelo esaziwayo) enquma ukuguqula i-Aston Martin yakhe ukuze idle lawa ma-biofuels kwakuyindaba yesikhathi.
Ngakho-ke iNkosana uCharles yanquma ukukholisa onjiniyela bakwa-Aston Martin ukuthi benze ukuguqulwa. Ekuqaleni laba abavumanga, bethi ukuguqulwa kuzomosha injini. Kodwa-ke, ukuphikelela kobukhosi kwakunjalo (waze wasongela ukuyeka ukushayela imoto) ukuthi onjiniyela lapho baqhubekele phambili nokuguqulwa.
I-Aston Martin DB6 Volante esebenzisa iwayini?!
Ngakho, ngemva kokuguqulwa, ubukhosi baseBrithani u-Aston Martin waqala ukudla iwayini esikhundleni sikaphethiloli. Hhayi-ke, akulona iwayini elingu-100%, kodwa i-bioethanol (E85) eyenziwe ngengxube kaphethiloli, iwayini elimhlophe kanye ne-whey. Naphezu kokungabaza ekuqaleni, onjiniyela be-Aston Martin bagcine bevumile ukuthi injini ayizange isebenze kangcono kuphethiloli omusha, iphinde yaletha amandla engeziwe.

Akukhona okokuqala uPrince Charles ephikelela ekuguquleni izimoto zomndeni wasebukhosini baseBrithani zibe ezinye zikaphethiloli. Ngemva kokuba ingxenye enkulu yemikhumbi yezimoto iguqulwe ukuze ikwazi ukusebenzisa i-biodiesel, ukuguqulwa kwakamuva kakhulu okwenziwa yindlalifa yesihlalo sobukhosi kuholele ekutheni udwendwe lomndeni wasebukhosini lusuke ekusebenziseni udizili luye ekusebenziseni amafutha okuthosa asetshenzisiwe.
