Kubikwa ukuthi abakwaFord bamemezele ngoMeyi 9 ukuthi bazohlola uhlobo lwabo lwe-hydrogen fuel cell yemikhumbi yabo eyi-Electric Transit (E-Transit) ukuze babone ukuthi bangakwazi yini ukunikeza inketho esebenzayo yokukhipha i-zero kumakhasimende athutha impahla esindayo amabanga amade.
AbakwaFord bazohola umfelandawonye kuphrojekthi yeminyaka emithathu ehlanganisa i-BP ne-Ocado, isitolo esikhulu se-inthanethi sase-UK nobuchwepheshe. I-Bp izogxila ku-hydrogen nengqalasizinda. Lo msebenzi ngokwengxenye uxhaswe yi-Advanced Propulsion Centre, okuyibhizinisi elihlanganyelwe phakathi kukahulumeni wase-UK kanye nemboni yezimoto.
U-Tim Slatter, usihlalo wakwaFord UK, esitatimendeni uthe: “IFord ikholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwamaseli kaphethiloli kungenzeka kube ezimotweni ezinkulu nezisindayo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi imoto isebenza ngaphandle kwesisi esingcolisayo ngenkathi ihlangabezana nenani eliphakeme lansuku zonke. izidingo zamandla zamakhasimende. Intshisekelo yemakethe yokusebenzisa amaseli kaphethiloli we-hydrogen ukwenza amaloli kagesi namaveni iyakhula njengoba abaqhubi bemikhumbi befuna enye indlela esebenza kangcono kunezimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, futhi nosizo oluvela kohulumeni luyakhula, ikakhulukazi i-US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).”
Nakuba izimoto eziningi zenjini evuthayo yangaphakathi emhlabeni, amaveni namaloli angase athathelwe indawo izimoto zikagesi ezingahlanzekile phakathi neminyaka engu-20 ezayo, abasekeli bamaseli kaphethiloli we-hydrogen kanye nabanye abasebenzisa imikhumbi edonsa isikhathi eside baphikisa ngokuthi izimoto zikagesi ezingenasici zinezihibe. , njengesisindo samabhethri, isikhathi esithathayo ukuwashaja kanye namandla okulayisha ngokweqile igridi.
Izimoto ezifakwe amaseli e-hydrogen fuel (i-hydrogen ixubene nomoya-mpilo ukuze kukhiqizwe amanzi namandla ukunika amandla ibhethri) zingafakwa uphethiloli ngemizuzu futhi zibe nebanga elide kunamamodeli kagesi amsulwa.
Kodwa ukusabalala kwamaseli kaphethiloli we-hydrogen kubhekene nezinselelo ezinkulu, okuhlanganisa ukuntuleka kweziteshi zokugcwalisa ne-hydrogen eluhlaza ukuze ziwanike amandla kusetshenziswa imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo.
