I-Indian ute igxekwe ngesilinganiso sokuphepha esingalungile
I-Tata Xenon iphumelele ukuhlolwa kwengozi ye-ANCAP.
I-Indian Ute ithole izinkanyezi ezimbili kuphela kweziyisihlanu ngokuphepha engozini. Izindonga Ezinkulu ezimbili ezenziwe ngamaShayina ezithole isilinganiso esibi esifanayo eminyakeni emine edlule. Lo mphumela ukhathaze iziphathimandla zezokuphepha kuzwelonke, njengoba ziningi izimoto ezizothengwa emazweni asathuthuka eminyakeni ezayo.
“Njengoba ukwehla kokukhiqizwa kwezimoto zakuleli sekusondele, siqinisekile ukuthi sizobona inqwaba yezinhlobo ezintsha ezifika ogwini lwethu zivela ezimakethe ezisafufusa,” kusho uLochlan McIntosh, usihlalo we-Australasian New Car Assessment Programme.
I-ANCAP yinhlangano engenzi nzuzo, ezimele exhaswa ngokuyinhloko ngothelawayeka, uthelawayeka, nezinsizakalo zezimoto kuzo zonke izifundazwe nezindawo. “I-ANCAP izokuqapha lokhu futhi iqinisekise ukuthi izimoto eziphephile zinikezwa abashayeli,” kusho uMnu Mackintosh.
Waphuma uTata Xenon, eyaqala ukudayiswa ngo-Okthoba nyakenye, bekuyimoto yesine ukuthola amaphuzu aphansi kangaka ezokuphepha kule minyaka emihlanu edlule. Okuwukuphela kwemoto ethole isilinganiso esingaphansi kwezinkanyezi ezimbili ngalesi sikhathi I-Proton Jumbuck eyenziwe eMalaysia, eyathola inkanyezi eyodwa kuphela lapho ihlolwa ngo-2010.
I-ANCAP ithe i-Tata ute "yenze kahle kakhulu" ekuhlolweni kwengozi ye-frontal offset, kodwa yajeziswa ngenxa yokungakwazi ukulawula ukuzinza, okungavimbela ukutshuza emakhoneni, futhi ithathwa njengesihlenga impilo elandelayo ngemuva kokusungulwa kwebhande.
Ubuchwepheshe bokulawula ukuqina bebuyimpoqo ezimotweni zabagibeli ezithengiswa e-Australia eminyakeni emibili edlule, kodwa abukayisibopho ezimotweni ezithengiswayo. I-ANCAP iphinde yaphawula ukuthi i-Tata Xenon ayinawo ama-airbag aseceleni namakhethini; izimoto eziningi ezintsha ezidayiswayo zifika nama-airbag ayisithupha njengejwayelekile.
UMqondisi Ophethe wakwaTata Motors e-Australia uDarren Bowler uthe: “Siyethemba ukuthi irekhodi lezokuphepha lizoba ngcono ngokwethula amamodeli abuyekeziwe okulawula ukuzinza ezinyangeni ezizayo. Uma ubheka isilinganiso sokuvikelwa kwabagibeli sisodwa, i-Xenon ute isivele yenza kangcono kunemikhiqizo eminingi eyaziwayo.”
Sekudayiswe amaTata Xenon ayi-100 kuphela e-Australia kusukela ngo-Okthoba odlule. Ububanzi obubuyekeziwe obunokulawula ukuzinza kufanele buvele maphakathi nonyaka. Ilayini ye-Tata ute iqala ku-$20,990, kodwa imodeli ehloliwe bekuyi-double cab ebiza u-$23,490 futhi inekhamera ehlehlayo njengejwayelekile ukusiza ukuqinisa ukuphepha.
Ukuhlolwa kokuphahlazeka kwe-ANCAP kwenziwa ngenani eliphakeme kunezidingo zikahulumeni wobumbano, kodwa sekuphenduke indinganiso yokuzenzakalelayo emhlabeni wonke futhi kuthiwa kuthuthukisa kakhulu ukuphepha kwezimoto eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule. Isilinganiso sokuvikela umuntu ongaphakathi sikalwa ngemva kokushayisana kwemoto ngo-64 km/h. Ukuze kuhlolwe ubuqotho besakhiwo semoto futhi kugwenywe ukushayisana kwangaphambili, amaphesenti angu-40 wendawo engaphambili (ohlangothini lomshayeli) ashaya umgoqo.
