Skoda Camik. I-Euro NCAP Safety Star Recruitment
Ukuphepha kungenye yezinto ezibalulekile ezinquma imoto yesimanje. Imoto akumele iphephe kuphela kumshayeli nomgibeli, kodwa nakwabanye abasebenzisi bomgwaqo. I-Skoda Kamiq, i-SUV yokuqala yasemadolobheni yohlobo, isanda kuthola isilinganiso esihle mayelana nalokhu ekuhlolweni kwe-Euro NCAP.
I-Euro NCAP (I-European New Car Assessment Programme) yethulwa ngo-1997. Kuyinhlangano ezimele yokuhlola ukuphepha kwezimoto exhaswe izinhlangano ezizimele futhi esekelwa ohulumeni bamazwe amaningana aseYurophu. Inhloso yayo enkulu bekuwukuhlola izimoto mayelana nokuphepha kokungenzi lutho. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-Euro NCAP ithenga izimoto zokuhlolwa kwayo ukuphahlazeka ngemali yayo ezindaweni ezikhethwe ngokungahleliwe zokudayiswa kwalolu hlobo. Ngakho-ke, lezi yizimoto ezijwayelekile zokukhiqiza ezithengiswa ngobuningi.
Imikhakha emine okuhlulelwa kuyo izimoto ingaphambili, izinhlangothi, isigxobo kanye nokumodela kwabahamba ngezinyawo. Kukhona nokuhlolwa kwe-whiplash okusebenzisa isihlalo se-dummy kuphela kuma-rails. Umsebenzi wakhe ukuhlola ukuthi isihlalo sivikela hlobo luni lokuvikela umgogodla uma kwenzeka kushaywa ingemuva lemoto.
Imiphumela yokuhlolwa ikalwe ngama-asterisk - ukusuka kweyodwa kuye kweyisihlanu. Inombolo yabo inquma izinga lokuphepha lomshayeli nabagibeli bemoto. Uma bebaningi, imoto iphephile. Imodeli ephezulu ehloliwe ingathola izinkanyezi ezinhlanu. Futhi yileli nani lezinkanyezi umkhiqizi ngamunye azikhathalelayo.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi, ngokucabangela izidingo zemakethe zanamuhla, ukuhlomisa imoto ngezinto zokuphepha, njengezikhwama zomoya namakhethini, i-ABS ne-ESP, kubhekwa njengento encane edingekayo, ngenxa yesidingo sokuhambisana nemithethonqubo. Okwamanje, imoto kufanele ibe nezinhlelo eziningi zokuphepha ezisebenza ngogesi kanye nosizo lwabashayeli ukuze izuze isilinganiso sezinkanyezi ezinhlanu.
Izinhlelo zalolu hlobo sezivele zikhona hhayi ezimotweni ezisezingeni eliphezulu kuphela. Zibuye zisetshenziswe izimoto ezivela ezingxenyeni eziphansi, okuholela ekutholeni amaphuzu aphezulu ezivivinyweni ze-Euro NCAP. I-Skoda Kamiq isanda kuklonyeliswa ngezinga eliphezulu lokuphepha.
Imoto ithole imiphumela emihle kakhulu ekuvikeleni abagibeli nabagibeli bamabhayisikili abadala. Esigabeni sokuqala, uKamiq uthole amaphuzu aphezulu kakhulu angamaphesenti angama-96. Izinzuzo zalezi zinhlelo ezilandelayo zigqanyisiwe ukuze kuvikelwe abagibeli bamabhayisikili: I-Front Assist, Predictive Pedestrian Protection kanye ne-City Emergency Brake. Zonke lezi zinhlelo zisezingeni emotweni.
Kuyaqapheleka ukuthi iKamiq ingafakwa ama-airbag ayisishiyagalolunye, okuhlanganisa ne-airbag yomshayeli edolweni ozikhethela kanye nama-airbag aseceleni angemuva. Imishini ejwayelekile yalolu hlobo ihlanganisa: Lane Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Multicollision Brake ne-Isofix yokufaka izihlalo zezingane.
Wonke amamodeli e-SKODA angaziqhayisa ngezinkanyezi ezinhlanu ekuhlolweni kokuphahlazeka. Lokhu kusebenza futhi kuma-SUV amabili asele e-Skoda - i-Karoq ne-Kodiaq. Esigabeni sokuvikela abantu abadala, i-Kodiaq ithole amaphesenti angama-92. Esigabeni esifanayo, uKaroq uthole amaphesenti angama-93. I-Euro NCAP ithakasele kakhulu ibhuleki lezimo eziphuthumayo elizishintshayo, elisezingeni kuzo zombili lezi zimoto. Amasistimu afana ne-Front Assist (uhlelo lokugwema ukushayisana) kanye nokuqapha abahamba ngezinyawo nakho kujwayelekile.
Nokho, ngoJulayi walo nyaka, iSkoda Scala yaklonyeliswa ngezinga eliphakeme kakhulu. Imoto ithole umphumela wamaphesenti angama-97 esigabeni sokuvikela abantu abadala. Njengoba abahloli begcizelela, lokhu kubeka iScala phambili ezimotweni zomndeni ezihlangene ezihlolwe yi-Euro NCAP.
