IToyota isikulungele ukwenza ushintsho olukhulu endleleni yayo ezimotweni zikagesi, futhi izokwenza lokho ngephrojekthi yayo entsha ethi 'Area 35'. Umkhiqizo waseJapan, owaziwa ngobuholi bawo bomhlaba wonke emkhakheni wezimoto, awufuni nje ukuhlala uncintisana, kodwa futhi nokuzibeka njengesilinganiso emakethe yezimoto zikagesi ngo-2030 ngesitayela sikaTesla.
Emhlabeni wezimoto, lapho intuthuko yezobuchwepheshe ilawula ijubane, Iphrojekthi ye-'Area 35' ivela njengoshintsho olubalulekile kwaToyota. Kuhloswe ukuthi kufinyelelwe ekukhiqizweni kwezimoto zikagesi eziyizigidi ezi-3,5 ngonyaka ngo-2030, lolu hlelo alubandakanyi ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu ezimbonini ezintsha, kodwa luhlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezitshalo ezikhona kakade.
Ithini iphrojekthi ye-'Area 35'?
Igama elithi 'Indawo 35' alikho ukuqondana nje. Le nombolo isiphenduke isizinda esimaphakathi sesu lokukhiqiza. Igqame ngezinsika ezimbalwa ezibalulekile:
- Ukuncishiswa kwesikhala: AbakwaToyota bahlela ukuminyanisa indawo eyabelwe ukukhiqizwa okushisayo ngo-35%, kukhululwe isikhala ngaphakathi kwezitshalo zabo.
- Izingxenye ezincane: Le nkampani ifuna ukunciphisa inani lezingxenye zezimoto zayo kuze kufike ku-35%, ukwabelana ngezingxenye phakathi kwamamodeli ahlukene ukusheshisa ukukhiqiza nokunciphisa izindleko.
- Ukusebenza kahle kokukhiqiza: Le ndlela izonciphisa izikhathi zokuhlanganisa futhi yandise umthamo wemigqa yokuhlanganisa.
- Inzuzo: Lolu hlelo luhlose ukukhulisa inzuzo yonke ngo-3,5% ekupheleni kweshumi leminyaka.
Ngokusho kukaYoichi Miyazaki, iphini likamongameli omkhulu wakwaToyota: “Sisebenzela ukukhulisa inani lezinhlobo zokucaciswa nezingxenye. Siphinde sanweba indawo yokukhiqiza izimoto eseziphelile, sathuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwentuthuko futhi sajwayelanisa izimboni zethu nezidingo zangempela. Ngale ndlela, singenza izinqumo ezishesha kakhulu ukuphendula izidingo zamakhasimende ethu. ”
Ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi nokusimama
Kusukela kumenyezelwe iphrojekthi, i-Toyota isivele iqalile ukusebenzisa izinqubo ze-'Area 35' ezikhungweni zayo ezimbalwa e-Japan. Ngenxa yale ntuthuko, amandla okukhiqiza anyuke ngezimoto ezingu-80.000 ngonyaka odlule, ngaphandle kokwakha izakhiwo ezintsha. Le ndlela iphambene nemikhiqizo efana neVolkswagen, ekhethe ukuthuthukisa izimboni ezikhethekile zezimoto zikagesi, okwathi ngemuva kwalokho zabhekana nobunzima ekuzigcineni zisebenza.
Lolu hlelo luphinde lucabange ukuthi amamodeli amasha kagesi akhiqizwa emigqeni efanayo manje ekhiqiza izimoto ezixubile nezishisayo. Lokhu kunciphisa i ingozi yezomnotho yokutshalwa kwezimali ngokungalingani kwingqalasizinda ethile.
Umgwaqo oya ku-2030
I-'Area 35' ikhombisa isifiso sakwaToyota sokufinyelela izimoto zikagesi eziyizigidi ezingu-3,5 ngonyaka. Ukuze kuzuzwe lokhu, umkhiqizo uhlela ukukhiqiza amayunithi awo esigidi sokuqala ekupheleni kuka-2026, iphindaphinde ngeshumi izibalo zika-2023, lapho ingaphezu kwamayunithi ayi-100.000 athengisiwe.
Inhliziyo yalokhu kukhiqizwa kuzoba inkundla entsha ye-modular ezoqala ngo-2026 ngemodeli ye-Lexus. Le moto ithembisa ukufaka izinto ezintsha ezifana ama-gigcastings, izingxenye ezinkulu ezenza kube lula ukuhlanganisa, kanye nesofthiwe yesizukulwane esilandelayo ukuze uthole ulwazi olunzulu ngomsebenzisi oluthuthuke kakhulu.
Ukuncintisana okuqinile emakethe
Ukukhuphuka kwezimoto zikagesi kuchaza kabusha imboni yezimoto. Imikhiqizo efana ne-Tesla ne-BYD yenze ukugxuma nemingcele, ibeka ingcindezi kubakhiqizi bendabuko abafana neToyota. Inkampani yaseJapan ayifuni ukusala ngemuva futhi uyazi ukuthi umkhiqizo ophumelelayo kuphela nosimeme ngokwezomnotho ozoqinisekisa isikhundla sawo sobuholi.
Nakuba i-Toyota ifike sekwephuzile emakethe kagesi, isu layo libonakala licacile: ikhwalithi, ukusimama kanye nenzuzo yesikhathi eside. Nakuba indlela eya empumelelweni ingase ihambe kancane, indlela yayo ihlose ukuhlanganisa ikusasa eliqinile nelinokuncintisana.
Isu lokuvelela kodwa elingokoqobo
Ngephrojekthi ye-'Area 35', i-Toyota ayifuni nje kuphela ukuba omunye umuntu obambe iqhaza emakethe yezimoto zikagesi, kodwa futhi nokwenza umehluko omkhulu. Ngokuphinda usebenzise kahle ingqalasizinda yakho yamanje, unciphise imfucuza kanye nezinqubo zokuthuthukisa, Umkhiqizo uhlose ukuba yimodeli yokusimama kanye nokusungula izinto ezintsha.
Le ndlela yokwenza izinto isivele iqalile ukukhombisa imiphumela ebonakalayo, futhi uma ukuqaliswa komhlaba wonke kuqhubeka ngesivinini esifanayo, iToyota inethuba elihle lokufeza izinhloso zayo ezibaluleke kakhulu.
