Besingakaze sicabange ukuthi isikhathi esithile, amagama athi Toyota Land Cruiser kanye nethi kagesi azoba yizihloko zezindaba, kodwa nansi. Okwenza izinto zibe zimbi kakhulu, lezi yizindaba ezisemthethweni zeToyota, yize kuyizindaba zasendaweni ezivela kuLand Down Under.
I-Toyota Australia imemezele ukubambisana ne-BHP Billiton, inkampani ehamba phambili yezinsizakusebenza e-Australia, ukuqhuba izivivinyo zokuhlola izimoto zikagesi eziguquliwe. Yebo, lokhu kuguqulwa kuhilela uchungechunge lwe-Land Cruiser 70. Lokhu kuhlolwa kuncane kakhulu futhi kunqunyelwe esibonelweni esisodwa sokuguqulwa esizosebenza emayini.
Umnyango wokuhlela nokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo weToyota Motor Australia ePort of Melbourne uguqule uchungechunge lwe-Land Cruiser 70 olunekhabhini elilodwa lwaba izimoto zikagesi. I-BEV eyinhloko eguquliwe ingasetshenziswa ezimayini ezingaphansi komhlaba. Ukuhlolwa kwenziwe emayini ye-BHP Nickel West eWestern Australia.
Uma ufuna ukwazi ukuthi iyini inhloso yalobu budlelwano, iToyota Austalia kanye ne-BHP banethemba lokuqhubeka nokuhlola ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi ezindizeni zabo ezincane. Eminyakeni engama-20 edlule, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zigcine ubudlelwano obuqinile, futhi kukholelwa ukuthi lo msebenzi uzoqinisa ukuxhumana phakathi kwazo futhi ubonise ukuthi zingasebenzisana kanjani “ukushintsha ikusasa.”
Kuhle ukusho ukuthi amahhashi amakhulu ezingxenyeni eziningi zomhlaba avame ukuqhutshwa ngedizili. Uma lokhu kuhlolwa kuphumelela, kusho ukuthi i-electric land cruiser isibonakalise ukuthi iyihhashi eliyinhloko elisebenza kahle ekumbeni. Izonciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwedizili, ukwenziwa, ukuthembela ekusizeni. Ukufeza umgomo wenkampani wesikhathi esiphakathi wokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi okusebenzayo ngo-30% ngo-2030.
Kuthenjwa ukuthi ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nemiphumela yokuhlolwa kwesilinganiso esincane luzotholakala kwaToyota Motor Australia, okungase kuvule indlela yokwethulwa kwezimoto zikagesi emikhunjini yezinsizakalo zezimayini kuleli zwe.
