Ubambiswano lwe-Rivian ngeke luholele ku-Ford F-150 kagesi: imibiko
I-Ford ne-Rivian Partnership Ngeke Kwenze Iloli Le-EV Elisha: Imibiko
AbakwaFord baveze amashiya ngesikhathi betshala imali elinganiselwa ku-$500 million ekuqaliseni izimoto zikagesi u-Rivian, hhayi okungenani ngenxa yokuthi umkhiqizo ohamba phambili wakamuva, i-All-electric R1T, uzoqhudelana maduze neveni yakwaFord edume kakhulu i-F-150. Ukutshalwa kwezimali kuholele ekutheni iningi licabange ukuthi izinkampani zizosebenzisana ukwakha iloli elisha likagesi, kusetshenziswa i-architecture ye-"skateboard" yakwa-Rivian kanye nolwazi lokukhiqiza lwe-Ford lokukhiqiza imoto enebheji yakwa-Ford.
Siyazi futhi ukuthi abakwaFord basebenzela inguqulo kagesi yonke ye-F-150 yabo njengengxenye yohlelo lwama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-11.5 ukukhiqiza izimoto ezifakwe ugesi ezingama-40 (eziyi-16 kuzo okuzoba izimoto zikagesi ezimsulwa) ngo-2022. kulolu hlelo.
Kodwa ngokusho kweFord, ukubambisana ngeke kuholele elolini elisha, kungaba i-F-150 kagesi noma yini. Kunalokho, lindela ukuthi iBlue Oval yakhele phezu kolwazi lukaRivian ekwakheni lokho okungenzeka kube yiSUV kagesi.
"Akumele wehle ngomgwaqo ucabanga ukuthi yiloli," kusho umongameli kanye ne-CEO yakwaFord uJim Hackett etshela incwadi yaseMelika. I-MotorTrend.
“Emazingeni aphezulu (umkhiqizo) usondelene kakhulu (uyathuthuka). Ngicabanga ukuthi okuningi kwalokho sekulungisiwe, kodwa angikakakulungeli ukukhuluma ngakho."
Ingxenye yohlu lwamamodeli amabili ka-Rivian, kanye neloli le-R1T, i-R1S SUV: i-SUV enkulu kagesi enemigqa emithathu, enezihlalo eziyisikhombisa. URivian uthi iSUV yakhe, ifakwe isistimu yezimoto ezine eletha u-147kW isondo ngalinye kanye ne-torque engu-14,000Nm iyonke, ingakwazi ukushaya u-160km/h ngemizuzwana engu-7.0 kanye no-100km/h ngemizuzwana engu-3.0 nje kuphela.
Imininingwane iyamangalisa, futhi ithole ukunakwa kwabakwaFord, njengoba i-auto giant ibize uRivian "special" futhi yaqinisekisa ukuthi izoboleka ukwakheka kwe-EV yokuqalisa yamamodeli azayo.
"I-Rivian iyinto ekhetheke ngempela esifundisa indlela yokuhlanganisa hhayi kuphela i-drivetrain, kodwa futhi nesakhiwo lapho amayunithi okulawula injini nezinye izakhi ezixhuma khona," kusho uHackett.
Yize abakwaFord kusamele baqinisekise imininingwane yomkhiqizo wabo omusha, siyazi ukuthi uRivian uzokwethula e-Australia, kanti kulindeleke ukuthi kubonakale okokuqala ngemuva kwezinyanga eziyi-18 lo mkhiqizo e-US, okumanje uhlelelwe u-2020.
“Yebo, sizokwethula e-Australia. Futhi angisakwazi ukulinda ukubuyela e-Australia ngiyoyibonisa bonke laba bantu abamangalisayo,” kusho u-Rivian Chief Engineer Brian Geis.
