Ingabe iToyota LandCruiser 300 Series V8 ingasindiswa amandla e-hydrogen? I-Greener kart drivetrain yembangi yakwaNissan Patrol - kubika
Injini kadizili eyi-V8 isikhishiwe ku-300-series LandCruiser, kodwa kungenzeka kube khona okuluhlaza okotshani.
IToyota LandCruiser ingase ithole uhlobo olusha lwenjini esebenza nge-hydrogen.
Ngokusho kwamaJapane Imoto engcono kakhulu I-Toyota ihlela ukusebenzisa i-LandCruiser 300 Series esanda kukhishwa njengemodeli yokuqala yokukhiqiza yenjini yayo ye-hydrogen yangaphakathi evuthayo (ICE).
Yize ingekho eminye imininingwane ecacile ngeLandCruiser esebenza nge-hydrogen, lokhu kungasho ukuthi injini ye-V8, eyanqanyulwa ngesikhathi kwethulwa uchungechunge olusha lwe-300 ngonyaka odlule, izovuswa ibe yinjini ye-hydrogen.
Njengamanje le nqola yesizukulwane esisha iphuma nenjini engu-3.3 litre V6 esebenzisa udizili enamandla angu-227kW/700Nm – engaphezu kuka-200kW/600Nm yenjini endala engu-V8.
Yize lezi kuyizindaba ezithokozisayo kubalandeli be-LC300, imibuzo isasele mayelana nokuphehla uphethiloli nezindleko. Njengamanje kuneziteshi ezimbalwa zokugcwalisa i-hydrogen e-Australia, futhi sinye kuphela eVictoria ngaphandle kwamasango avikelekile e-Toyota Hydrogen Center e-Alton.
I-LandCruiser ebiza kakhulu e-Australia yi-Sahara ZX, enenani lika-$138,790, futhi uma kubhekwa izindleko zokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe, ingakhuphukela ku-$200,000 mark.
Kungase kuzwakale njengokuhlanya, kodwa khumbula ukuthi i-H2X yase-Australia eqalwa nge-hydrogen fuel ikhiphe imodeli esekwe kwaFord Ranger ebizwa ngokuthi iWarrego, enenani eliphakathi kuka-$189,000 no-$250,000.
KwaToyota bajahe iCorolla esebenzisa i-hydrogen nyakenye.
AbakwaToyota bebelokhu benza i-hydrogen powertrain kule minyaka embalwa edlule futhi bake bethula le njini ngaphansi kweCorolla hatchback eyagijima eJapan ngoJulayi odlule ngaphambi kokuthi bethule iGR Yaris esebenzisa i-hydrogen ngoZibandlela.
IToyota isivele inezinzuzo ezithile uma kukhulunywa nge-hydrogen, kodwa kuze kube unyaka odlule bekuyizimoto zikagesi ze-hydrogen fuel cell (FCEVs) njenge Mirai sedan.
Lesi sitimela esisha esinamandla akuyona imoto kagesi kodwa sisekelwe kubuchwepheshe obufakazelwe bokuvutha kwangaphakathi. Nokho, ngokungafani ne-FCEV, ekhipha umhwamuko wamanzi kuphela emoyeni, inguqulo ye-ICE ishisa i-hydrogen futhi ikhiqize amagesi akhipha umoya.
Izikhulu zakwaToyota zisanda kuphakamisa ukuthi i-hydrogen ingase ibambe iqhaza elikhulu ohlelweni lwayo.
Ekhuluma nezintatheli zase-Australia ngoJuni odlule, imenenja jikelele yakwaToyota Australia ehlela umkhiqizo uRod Ferguson uthe ubuchwepheshe be-hydrogen bungasetshenziswa ezintweni ezihlukahlukene njengezimoto ezilula nezisindayo.
“Manje sethula lolu hlobo lwezimoto, kodwa amandla akhona ezinhlobonhlobo zezimoto ezisindayo, amaloli amancane, izitimela noma amabhasi. Lobu buchwepheshe bukulungele ukubuyiswa kwesisekelo noma ukugcwalisa ngokushesha uphethiloli,” kusho yena.
I-Toyota akuyena umkhiqizi wokuqala wokuhlola i-ICE hydrogen powertrains. I-BMW yakha izibonelo eziyi-100 zeHydrogen 7 yayo phakathi kuka-2005 no-2007. AbakwaBMW basebenzise injini engu-6.0-litre V12 etholakala ku-760i njengesisekelo senjini ye-hydrogen ekhiqiza amandla angu-191 kW/390 Nm yaze yafinyelela ku-0 km/h ngemizuzwana engu-100.
Umongameli weToyota Motor Corporation, u-Akio Toyoda, naye usekhuthalele ukukhuthaza ezinye izindlela ezingasetshenziswa esikhundleni sezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ngamabhethri uma kukhulunywa ngokushintsha izimoto emhlabeni jikelele. NgoSepthemba nyakenye, waxwayisa ngokuthi imboni yezimoto yaseJapan ingase ibhubhe uma iToyota ishintshela ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi kuphela.
“Lokhu kusho ukuthi kuzolahleka ukukhiqizwa kwamayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi eziyisishiyagalombili kanti imboni yezimoto isengcupheni yokulahlekelwa yimisebenzi eminingi engu-5.5 million. Uma bethi izinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi ziyizitha, ngeke sikwazi ukwenza cishe noma yiziphi izimoto."
