I-Ford ihlose uTesla ngokuhlukana kabili! 'Ukwethulwa' kwezimoto zikagesi kuhlukile ebhizinisini lenjini evuthayo, kodwa iyunithi ye-R&D yase-Australia iphephile

Ingxenye yebhizinisi le-Model e izobhekana nezimoto zikagesi nokunye okwengeziwe.

AbakwaFord baqinisa izinhlelo zabo zokufaka ugesi ngokuhlukanisa ibhizinisi labo ezindaweni ezimbili ezihlukene - izimoto zikagesi (EV) kanye nezimoto zenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi (ICE).

I-American auto giant ithatha isinyathelo sokwandisa inzuzo yayo, iqondise izinqubo nokwenza kube lula ukuthuthukisa izimoto zikagesi esikhathini esizayo.

Ibhizinisi le-EV lizokwaziwa nge-Model e kanti ibhizinisi le-ICE lizokwaziwa nge-Ford Blue. Lena isengezo kuFord Pro eyakhiwe ngoMeyi odlule ezimotweni zentengiso.

Amamodeli e-e kanye neBlue Ford azosebenza ngokuzimela, kwaFord bathe, yize bezosebenzisana kweminye imisebenzi.

I-Ford ifuna ukusebenza njengesiqalisi esifana ne-Rivian nanoma iyiphi inombolo yabanye abakhi bezimoto ezincane ezisebenza ngogesi ezivele eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Ngesikhathi i-Tesla isencane, yayichazwa njengesiqalo, kodwa manje isidlulile kuleso simo ukuze ibe inkampani yezimoto ebaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni.

Akubukeki sengathi ukuhlukana kuzophazamisa uphiko lwezobunjiniyela, ucwaningo nentuthuko e-Australia, kusho okhulumela abakwaFord.

"Asilindele noma yimuphi umthelela emsebenzini wethimba lethu lase-Australia, elihlale ligxile ekwakhiweni nasekuthuthukisweni kweRanger, Ranger Raptor, Everest nezinye izimoto emhlabeni jikelele."

AbakwaFord bathi izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi zizobalelwa ku-30% wokudayiswa kwazo emhlabeni jikelele eminyakeni emihlanu, zikhuphuke zifinyelele ku-50% ngo-2030. Le nkampani inethemba lokuthi izimoto zayo ezisebenza ngogesi zizothatha "isabelo semakethe esifanayo noma esikhulu nakakhulu ezingxenyeni zezimoto lapho iFord isivele ihamba phambili." ".

Le nkampani ihlela ukuphinda kabili ukusetshenziswa kwayo ezimotweni zikagesi kuze kufike ku-$5 billion.

Nakuba ithimba le-Model e lizoba nesibopho sokwakha iphothifoliyo yemoto kagesi yakwa-Ford, esevele ihlanganisa iloli leveni i-F150 Lightning, i-Mustang Mach-E enezicabha ezine kanye ne-Transit van.

I-Model e izothatha indlela ehlanzekile yokusungula nokwethula izimoto ezintsha nemikhiqizo, idale izinkundla ezintsha zesofthiwe, ngisho nokusebenza “ekuthengeni, ekuthengeni nasekuphatheni isipiliyoni” esisha sabathengi bezimoto zikagesi.

I-Ford Blue izokwakha ohlelweni lwamanje lwe-ICE lwe-Ford, oluhlanganisa i-F-Series, i-Ranger, i-Maverick, i-Bronco, i-Explorer ne-Mustang, "ngokutshalwa kwezimali kumamodeli amasha, okuphuma kuyo, ubuchwepheshe kanye nezinsizakalo."
