Kwaxelwa ukuba iFord ibhengeze nge-9 kaMeyi ukuba izakuvavanya uhlobo lwayo lweeseli ze-hydrogen zeselfowuni ye-Electric Transit (E-Transit) ye-prototype yezithuthi ukuze ibone ukuba bangabonelela na ngokhetho olusebenzayo lokukhupha i-zero kubathengi abathutha imithwalo enzima kumgama omde.
I-Ford iza kukhokela i-consortium kwiprojekthi yeminyaka emithathu ekwabandakanya i-BP kunye ne-Ocado, ivenkile yase-UK ye-intanethi kunye neqela lezobuchwepheshe. I-Bp iya kugxila kwi-hydrogen kunye neziseko zophuhliso. Le projekthi ixhaswa ngemali yi-Advanced Propulsion Centre, intsebenziswano phakathi kukarhulumente wase-UK kunye neshishini lemoto.
U-Tim Slatter, usihlalo weFord UK, uthe kwisiteyitimenti: "I-Ford ikholelwa ukuba usetyenziso oluphambili lweeseli zamafutha kunokwenzeka ukuba lube kweyona modeli inkulu kwaye inzima kakhulu yemoto yokuthengisa ukuqinisekisa ukuba isithuthi sisebenza ngaphandle kokukhupha izinto ezingcolisayo ngelixa sidibana neyona nto iphezulu yemihla ngemihla. iimfuno zamandla zabathengi. Umdla wentengiso wokusebenzisa iiseli zamafutha e-hydrogen ukunika amandla iilori kunye neeveni ziyakhula njengoko abaqhubi bezithuthi bekhangela enye indlela enokusebenziseka ngakumbi kwiimoto zombane ezisulungekileyo, kwaye uncedo oluvela koorhulumente luyanda, ngakumbi uMthetho wokuNcitshiswa kwexabiso lokunyuka kwamaxabiso e-US (IRA).”
Ngelixa uninzi lweemoto ze-injini zokutsha zangaphakathi zehlabathi, iiveni ezimfutshane kunye neelori kusenokwenzeka ukuba zitshintshwe ziimoto zombane ezisulungekileyo kule minyaka ingama-20 izayo, abaxhasi beeseli zamafutha e-hydrogen kunye nabanye abaqhubi beemoto ezithatha ixesha elide bathi iimoto zombane ezisulungekileyo zinemiqobo. , njengobunzima beebhetri, ixesha elithathayo ukuwabiza kunye nokukwazi ukulayisha ngaphezulu igridi.
Izithuthi ezifakwe iiseli zamafutha e-hydrogen (i-hydrogen ixutywe neoksijini ukuvelisa amanzi namandla ukunika amandla ibhetri) zinokugaywa ngemizuzu kwaye zibe noluhlu olude kuneemodeli zombane ezisulungekileyo.
Kodwa ukusasazeka kweeseli ze-hydrogen fuel kujongana nemiceli mngeni emikhulu, kubandakanya ukunqongophala kwezikhululo zokuzalisa kunye ne-hydrogen eluhlaza ukubanika amandla ngokusebenzisa imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo.
