E ai ki ngā pūrongo i pānuitia e Ford i te 9 o Mei ka whakamātauria e ia te putanga pūtau wahie hauwai o tana kahui tauira Electric Transit (E-Transit) kia kite ai mēnā ka taea e rātou te whakarato i tētahi kōwhiringa kore-tukunga whai hua mō ngā kaihoko e kawe ana i ngā utanga taumaha i ngā tawhiti roa.
Ka ārahi a Ford i tētahi rōpū i roto i te kaupapa tau e toru, tae atu ki a BP me Ocado, te rōpū hokomaha ipurangi me te hangarau o te UK. Ka arotahi a Bp ki te hauwai me te hanganga. Ko tētahi wāhanga o te kaupapa he pūtea tautoko nā te Advanced Propulsion Centre, he hononga tahi i waenganui i te kāwanatanga o te UK me te umanga motuka.
I roto i tētahi kōrero, i kī a Tim Slatter, te heamana o Ford UK: "E whakapono ana a Ford ko te whakamahinga matua o ngā pūtau wahie ka noho pea ki ngā tauira waka arumoni nui rawa atu, taumaha rawa atu hoki, kia mōhio ai kei te whakahaerehia te waka me te kore he tukunga parahanga, me te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia nui o ia rā o ngā kiritaki. Kei te tipu haere te hiahia o te mākete ki te whakamahi i ngā pūtau wahie hauwai hei whakakaha i ngā taraka me ngā waka waka i te mea e rapu ana ngā kaiwhakahaere waka i tētahi huarahi whai hua ake hei whakakapi i ngā waka hiko parakore, ā, kei te piki haere te āwhina mai i ngā kāwanatanga, inā koa ko te US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)."
Ahakoa te nuinga o ngā motuka miihini mura o roto o te ao, ngā waka me ngā taraka poto-haere ka whakakapia ki ngā waka hiko parakore i roto i ngā tau 20 e whai ake nei, e kī ana ngā kaitautoko o ngā pūtau wahie hauwai me ētahi kaiwhakahaere waka tawhiti-haere he ngoikoretanga anō ō ngā waka hiko parakore, pērā i te taumaha o ngā pākahiko, te roa o te wā e pau ana ki te utu me te kaha ki te uta i te whatunga hiko.
Ka taea te whakakī anō i ngā waka kua whakauruhia ki ngā pūtau wahie hauwai (ka konatunatua te hauwai ki te hāora hei whakaputa wai me te pūngao hei whakakaha i te pākahiko) i roto i ngā meneti, ā, he roa ake te tawhiti e whakamahia ana i ngā waka hiko parakore.
Engari kei te pāngia te horapa o ngā pūtau wahie hauwai e ētahi wero nui, tae atu ki te korenga o ngā teihana whakakī me te hauwai matomato hei whakakaha i a rātou mā te whakamahi i ngā puna pūngao whakahou.
