Ibhasi lesikole yinkosi entsha

Amabhasi enziwe e-Chinese manje ayatholakala e-Australia.

Abakhi bamabhasi base-Australia baqaphe kakhulu ngokufika kwebhasi lokuqala elakhiwa e-China ngumkhiqizi wamabhasi ohamba phambili i-King Long China.

Leli bhasi elakhiwe ku-chassis i-Iveco, ngelokuqala kwamanye amaningi okulindeleke ukuthi angeniswe ezweni yiNkosi iLong Australia, enenkontileka nenkampani yaseChina yokwakha.

Ibhasi leKing Long, eliqanjwe i-Australis, lenzelwe ukusetshenziswa njengesikole noma ibhasi lokuqashisa. Enguqulweni yayo eyisisekelo, ingakwazi ukuthwala abagibeli abangu-57, kodwa inganyuswa ukuze ikwazi ukumumatha abengeziwe, kuye ngezidingo zeklayenti.

I-Australis iyahambisana ne-ADR futhi inomklamo wesimanje onohlaka lwensimbi engenasici yezinga lasolwandle, amaphaneli aseceleni e-aluminium kanye nophahla olulodwa lwe-fiberglass.

Inezihlalo ezine-upholstery yendwangu yangokwezifiso, amarack emithwalo anezindawo zokupholisa umoya ngazinye namalambu okufunda.

Ikhebhu yomshayeli we-ergonomic ifinyelela kalula kuzo zonke izilawuli. Iphinde ibe nesihlalo esishintshwayo, amawindi kagesi, izinzwa ezihlehlayo kanye nekhamera.

“Esikhundleni sokusebenzisa ibhasi eliklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa ezikoleni, sakhetha ukuthola imininingwane ephakeme eyayizolinganiswa ezingeni lebhasi lesikole, kodwa eyayingase isetshenziselwe ukuqashisa izindiza,” kusho u-Adrian van Gielen weNkosi yase-Australia.

Ibhasi lokuqala ukufika e-Australia lakhiwe ku-chassis ye-Iveco, kodwa uLong usebenzisa i-MAN, iMercedes-Benz ne-Hino chassis.

Uthi iKing Long China ingakwazi ukwakha nokuhlinzeka ngamabhasi ngamanani ancintisanayo futhi ngokushesha.

Kungathatha isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ukuthi abakhiqizi bamabhasi bendawo balethe ibhasi, kodwa i-King Long ingaletha ibhasi esikhathini esingangezinyanga ezintathu.

“Okwamanje, kufanele ulinde izinyanga eziyi-18 ukuze uthole ibhasi elisha,” kusho u-van Gelen.

"I-King Long yakha amabhasi angaphezu kuka-20,000 ngonyaka, lelo ibhasi elilodwa njalo ngemizuzu eyi-15, okusho ukuthi singathatha i-oda lamabhasi sililethwe ngenyanga eyodwa noma ezimbili."

I-King Long Australia isungule isevisi kanye nenethiwekhi yezingxenye eziyisipele ukuze isekele amabhasi ayidayisayo.

Umzimba wase-Australis umbozwe iwaranti yeminyaka emibili, kuyilapho i-chassis imbozwa ngumkhiqizi wayo.

Imakethe yamabhasi ezikole kuphela kulo nyaka ibingamayunithi angama-450, kusho u-van Gelen, efaka ingcindezi kubakhi bamabhasi bendawo.

Iphinde inikeze i-King Long Australia ithuba lokuthola indawo emakethe yamabhasi.
