IFord ithi izoba ngeyesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni umakhi wezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi eminyakeni emibili edlule
Okuqukethwe
Njengamanje iFord inamamodeli amathathu kagesi: Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning kanye ne-E-Transit. Kodwa-ke, inkampani ye-oval eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ihlela ukuncintisana noTesla futhi izame ukuzibeka njengomkhiqizi wezimoto zikagesi wesibili ngobukhulu e-United States.
Ukuthi iFord ithatha ama-EV ngokungathi sína akufanele kumangaze, uma kubhekwa zonke izimemezelo zenkampani eminyakeni edlule kanye nomzamo abawenzile ekukhiqizeni kwayo kokuqala i-EV. Kodwa ngokombiko, lokhu kungase kube isiqalo.
IFord ihlose ukuzibeka njengomunye wababaluleke kakhulu
Kuvela ukuthi iFord ayihlose nje kuphela ukusheshisa inqubo yokufakwa kukagesi, kodwa futhi ihlose ukukwenza ngokushesha. Umphathi wakwaFord uJim Farley uthe kuTwitter ulindele ukuthi iBlue Oval ibe umkhiqizi wezimoto zikagesi wesibili ngobukhulu e-United States (ngemuva kweTesla) eminyakeni emibili nje kuphela, futhi lokho akubandakanyi isikhungo seBlue Oval City EV. izimoto zikagesi ezihlelwe ngabakwaFord eTennessee.
Kwezinye izimo, uTesla njengamanje ukhiqiza izimoto ezibalelwa ku-600,000 ngonyaka, ngakho-ke lokho kuwukweqa okukhulu kusuka kumthamo ohleliwe wamanje weFord wokukhiqiza wezimoto ezingaba ngu-300,000 emhlabeni jikelele. Lokhu kugxuma okukhulu ekukhiqizweni komhlaba kuzobandakanya izimoto ezintathu zokuqala zikagesi zakwaFord, i-Mach-E ne-E-Transit, nokunye okusazolandela.
AbakwaFord bazozama ukwandisa amandla abo ukuze bakhulise ukukhiqiza
Vele, ukufeza ukwanda okunjalo kokukhiqiza akulula njengokuphenyisa iswishi. I-Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Centre ihlelelwe ukukhiqiza i-Lightning, kodwa indawo izodinga ukukhushulwa ngokomzimba ukuze ukukhiqiza kuqhubeke. I-Mach-E ilula kancane futhi izodinga olunye ushintsho ohlelweni lokukhiqiza embonini yaseMexico lapho yakhiwe khona.
Sizojabula kakhulu ukubona ukuthi lokhu kudlala kanjani, ikakhulukazi nge-GM kanye nokuhlasela kwayo okuhleliwe kwezimoto zikagesi ezisebenza nge-Ultium. Ingabe sizoqala inkathi entsha yokuncintisana phakathi kweBig Three, njengoba senza ngeminyaka yawo-1960 kanye nawo-1970? Akuphumi ngokuphelele embuzweni.
