Kule ndlela eya ekusaseni elingashintshile nelisimeme, inkampani yamaPutukezi iCaetanoBus, ngokubambisana neToyota, yamemezela ukuthi izinhlobo ezimbili zamabhasi akhipha i-zero emission azigcini nje ngokuba nophawu oluthi “Caetano”, kodwa futhi nophawu lwe-“Toyota”.
Isilinganiso esiqinisa futhi siqinise inyunyana phakathi kwezinkampani zombili, okwandisa ukuqashelwa ngamakhasimende aseYurophu.
Lamabhasi yi-e.City Gold aziwayo, i-battery-electric, ne-H2.City Gold, okuyi-hydrogen fuel cell, i-Toyota ehlanganyela ngayo izingxenye zikagesi kanye nengxenye yobuchwepheshe be-FuelCell beToyota Mirai.
Uma iqhathaniswa ne-e.City Gold, i-H2.City Gold izovumela ibanga elingafika ku-400 km (100 km ngaphezu kwe-e.City Gold), ithatha cishe imizuzu eyisishiyagalolunye kuze kube yilapho amathangi ayo angu-37.5 kg egcwele ngokuphelele.
Ngokuphathelene nobukhulu bamabhasi, lawa athengiswa ngezinhlobonhlobo ezimbili: 10.7 m no-12 m ubude, zombili zifakwe injini kagesi efanayo, enamandla angu-180 kW, okulingana no-245 hp.
Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuphepha kwabo bonke abantu abazungezayo ezimotweni ezifanele, i-H2.City Gold ifakwe izinzwa ezizoba nesibopho sokunqamula ukunikezwa kwe-hydrogen uma kutholwa ukuvuza noma ukungqubuzana.
UMnu. José Ramos, uMongameli we-CaetanoBus, SA“Ngalobu budlelwano, siqinisa ubudlelwano obunesikhathi eside neToyota kulo lonke ibhizinisi lamabhasi akhipha i-zero emissions. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kusivumela ukuthi sibonise amandla obuchwepheshe kanye nobuchwepheshe obuhambisanayo kanye, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuqondanisa kwangempela nendlela yokuqeda ikhabhoni.”
