I-saga ye-SsangYong iyavela! Abathengi abamangele benza umugqa ukuze bonge uhlobo lwesithathu lwase-Korea, ikusasa lalo lizokwaziwa ngoNovemba

Ikusasa le-SsangYong ngokuzumayo libukeka lilihle, futhi inani elimangazayo labatshalizimali abangene ngemali baklelile ukuyithenga.

Lokhu kusekude nokuphela kwe-SsangYong, njengoba amanye ama-conglomerates amabili amakhulu ase-Korea esejoyine isicelo sokubhida inkampani yezimoto edonsa kanzima.

Amaqembu amabili amakhulu, i-SM Group kanye ne-consortium eholwa yi-Edison Motors, ajoyina ingqikithi yabanikazi abasha abayisishiyagalolunye abangaba khona, abaningi babo ababona uCardinal One Motors ozinze e-US njengomdlali ohamba phambili.

I-SM Group iyinhlangano enkulu yama-38 yaseKorea enezimpahla ezimbonini zamakhemikhali, ezokwakha, ezokuthutha nezokusakaza.

Ibizwe ngokuthi yinkampani ehamba phambili ngamathenda njengoba isivele yakha izingxenye zezimoto ngenkampani engaphansi kwayo iNamsun Aluminium. Ngokuvumelana ne Korea Times, I-SM Group ibheke ukukhula ngokutshala imali emakethe yezimoto zikagesi, abakwaSsangYong abathi isesimweni esihle kuyo.

Umkhulumeli we-SM Group utshele abezindaba baseKorea ukuthi, ngokungafani nabanye abancintisana nabo, inkampani inemali egciniwe yokuxhasa ukutholwa futhi ayidingi ukwesekwa kwezezimali ngaphandle. I-SM Group yayikade ibhejela iSsangYong ngesikhathi idayiselwa iSAIC Motor yaseChina ngesikhathi seGFC. Ilahlekelwe ngumdondoshiya wezinkampani zaseNdiya i-Mahindra kanye ne-Mahindra kodwa isaqhubeka nokubona uhlobo lomkhiqizo njengendlela yokwehlukahlukana.

Ngaleso sikhathi, i-Edison Motors ingumkhiqizi wezimoto ezentengiselwano okhethekile embonini yamabhasi. Le nkampani ibikhiqiza igesi yemvelo ecindezelwe (i-CNG) kanye namabhasi enjini evuthayo ajwayelekile kusukela ngo-1998, futhi njengamanje isebenzisa awayo amabhasi kagesi ngamabhethri kulo lonke elaseKorea anebanga elingu-378 km.

Izinkinga eceleni, i-SsangYong igcwele umusi ngaphambili igcona lokho esigcinele kona ngekusasa.

I-Edison Motor ibheke ukungena emakethe yezimoto zikagesi zabagibeli futhi ibheka i-EV-ready SsangYong njengendlela yokusheshisa ukungena kwayo emakethe. Wakha umfelandawonye onesikhwama esizimele sokulingana nezinye ukusiza ngezimali ukutholwa.

Njengoba kumenyezelwe emasontweni amabili edlule, omunye wabaqhudelana bokuqala nabahamba phambili ekuthengweni kweSsangYong yinkampani yaseMelika iCapital One Motors. Inyusa uxhaso emaqenjini abathengisi kulo lonke elase-US, i-Capital One ikhuphuke emlotheni we-HAAH Automotive Holdings, esanda kufaka icala lokuqothuka kulandela ukwehluleka komzamo wokungenisa izinto zezimoto zakwaChery e-US. Ngaphambilini, ubehlele nokubheja ku-SsangYong.

Abaqondisi bayo bathe i-HAAH yehlulekile ngenxa yezindleko ezinzima zokungeniswa kweChina ezibekwe ngabaphathi bakaTrump. Uthemba ukunikeza i-SsangYong ukufinyelela emakethe yase-US enenzuzo njengoba inesivumelwano sohwebo lwamahhala neSouth Korea. Mancane amathuba okuthi i-Capital One inyuse imali yokutholwa kwe-SsangYong ngaphandle kosizo lwe-Korea Development Bank.

Isibalo esikhulu sabantu abafake amathenda eSsangYong samangala, ngokusho kwemibiko yabezindaba yaseKorea, njengoba isinqumo salo mkhiqizo sokuthengisa isitshalo sokhokho saso sasePyeongtaek esineminyaka engu-42 sibonakala sithandwa ngabantu abangaba abatshalizimali. Lo mkhiqizo uthi ukususwa kulesi sikhungo esidala kuzosiza ngezimali ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo esisha emaphethelweni edolobha elifanayo, okusivumela ukuthi sigcine abasebenzi baso sibe senza izikhungo zaso zibe zesimanje ukuze zibe nohlelo lwazo lukagesi lwesikhathi esizayo.

Imoto kagesi ephakathi nendawo iKorando e-Motion kulindeleke ukuthi yethulwe ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka.

I-SsangYong izokwethula imoto yayo yokuqala kagesi, iKorando e-Motion, ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka e-Europe, futhi isimemezele ukuthi ikusasa layo ngamamodeli afakwe ugesi oqinile, njengoba kukhonjisiwe emibonweni yakamuva ye-J100 ne-KR10.

Abatshalizimali abahamba phambili bakwa-SsangYong bazofaka amabhidi omkhiqizo ngoSepthemba, futhi umeluleki womkhiqizo oqokwe yinkantolo uzohlose ukuqinisekisa ukuthengiswa (kanye nekusasa le-SsangYong) ngoNovemba.
