U-Holden uyavuma ukuthi kube unyaka onzima
USihlalo we-Holden uMike Devereaux uchaza izinyanga ezingu-18 ezedlule "njengezinzima kakhulu emlandweni."
Ngokokuqala ngqa, usihlalo kanye nomqondisi ophethe we-Holden, uMike Devereux, udalula ubuhlungu benkinga yezimali emhlabeni wonke nokuthi "ibhubhise kanjani ngempela inkontileka ka-Holden yokuthumela ngaphandle yezimoto ezingama-50,000 ze-Pontiac G8.
Uthi: “Izinyanga ezingu-18 ezedlule bezinzima kakhulu emlandweni.
Kodwa uthi inkampani yakhe isithathe inguquko emangalisayo.
Ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo, inkampani izothumela inzuzo yezigidigidi zamadola ka-2010, isibalo sayo sokuqala sonyaka eminyakeni emihlanu.
Ubuyisele abasebenzi bakhe emsebenzini wesikhathi esigcwele ngemuva kohlelo lokwabelana ngomsebenzi. Usanda kwengeza abasebenzi abayi-165 embonini yakhe yase-Adelaide, futhi kungaba nokunye uma uHolden ekwazile ukuthola inkontileka enkulu nezimoto zamaphoyisa zaseMelika.
Kuwo wonke amanye amazwe asebenza e-Australia, abasebenzi bayo abahlanu basohambweni lwamazwe ngamazwe lwebhizinisi oluya kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba weGM.
I-Holden isiqale ibhizinisi lokukhiqiza uphethiloli we-ethanol emfucumfucwini kamasipala, yandise izinhlobo zayo zamafutha, futhi izokhipha izinhlobo eziyi-18 ezintsha noma ezibuyekeziwe zingakapheli izinyanga eziyi-10.
Okubalulekile ekuguqukeni kwaba yindima ka-Holden ekuklameni nasekwakheni izimoto ezintsha.
"Bheka imoto abakhethe ukuyishintsha kakhulu endalini yasemini ngesikhathi abakwaGM bephuma esidlangalaleni ngenyanga edlule - iChevrolet Camaro," kusho uDevereaux.
"Imoto evamile yemisipha yaseMelika kanye neqhawe lamafilimu afana neTransformers. Imoto eklanywe futhi yaklanywa ithimba (Holden), ehlolwe e-Lang Lang futhi yakhiwa e-Oshawa, e-Ontario, e-Canada.
“Siyakwamukela ku-GM entsha, lapho enye yezimoto zaseMelika ezithandwa kakhulu emlandweni ingaklanywa futhi yakhiwe amalungu amabili e-Commonwealth - futhi angayenza kangcono kunanoma ubani omunye emhlabeni. Imoto yaseMelika yonke eyakhiwe e-Australia futhi yakhiwe eCanada."
U-Devereaux uthi ikhono lika-Holden lokujwayela i-niche kanye nezidingo zemakethe yamazwe ngamazwe kuholele ekutheni afake isicelo sokukhiqiza i-Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV). Lokhu kunciphisa ubuhlungu bokulahlekelwa uhlelo lwe-Pontiac G8 kancane.
"I-Chevrolet iphakathi nohlelo lokuhlola lwamadolobha angu-20," esho ngamamodeli okuhlola amasondo amade akhiwe e-Australia futhi athunyelwa e-US. “Amadolobha amahlanu kwangama-20 aseqediwe. Siyazi ukuthi sinomkhiqizo omuhle kakhulu...futhi silindele imiphumela ngekota yokuqala."
Ngokufanayo, u-Holden wakhela amaphoyisa ezifundazweni eziyisishiyagalolunye zase-US izimoto zokuhlola izimoto ezibambe iqhaza kuthenda yohlobo "lomseshi" weCaprice. Ukukhiqizwa kuzoqala ngenyanga ezayo.
“Okwamanje, asikwazi ukudalula isibalo sama-oda ohlelweni, kodwa siyaqiniseka ukuthi isibalo sama-oda sizoqhubeka nokukhula onyakeni omusha,” kusho uDevereux.
Uthi le nkampani idayisa kakhulu abasebenzi kanye ne-software njengoba iyi-hardware yezimoto.
Kodwa ngaphezu kokwaziwa njengomholi ezimotweni ezidonsa ngamasondo angemuva, uDevereux uthi uHolden usebenzela ikusasa.
“I-EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) ingumbono ka-Holden wendawo yonke wekusasa lezokuthutha zasemadolobheni, owawukhonjiswa embukisweni walo nyaka e-Shanghai,” usho kanje.
“Lena yimoto esebenza ngogesi wonke, enamasondo amabili, ekhipha umoya oyiziro eyenzelwe ukubhekana nezinselelo zamadolobha amakhulu njengesiminyaminya, ukutholakala kwezindawo zokupaka kanye nezinga lomoya. I-EN-V igqamise amakhono okuklama asezingeni eliphezulu abaklami bezimoto base-Australia, kodwa futhi yabonisa ukuthi u-Holden uklama indawo yombukiso yesikhathi esizayo futhi kukhona okuthile kwawo wonke umuntu kuleli gumbi lombukiso.”
