I-Honda ijoyina iToyota ohlelweni lokucwaninga ngenjini ye-hydrogen

Imizamo eholwa yiToyota yokusebenzisa ukushisa kwe-hydrogen njengendlela yokungathathi hlangothi kwe-carbon isekelwa yizimbangi ezifana neHonda neSuzuki, ngokusho kwemibiko yabezindaba zakwamanye amazwe.Iqembu labakhiqizi bezinqola ezincane nezithuthuthu baseJapan liqalise umkhankaso omusha kazwelonke wokukhuthaza ubuchwepheshe bokushisa i-hydrogen.

I-Honda Motor Co kanye ne-Suzuki Motor Co bazojoyina i-Kawasaki Motor Co kanye ne-Yamaha Motor Co ekwakheni izinjini ezishisa i-hydrogen “zokuhamba okuncane,” isigaba abathi sihlanganisa izimoto ezincane, izithuthuthu, izikebhe, imishini yokwakha kanye nama-drones.

Isu le-Toyota Motor Corp. le-powertrain ehlanzekile, elimenyezelwe ngoLwesithathu, liphefumulela impilo entsha kulo. I-Toyota iyodwa kakhulu kubuchwepheshe be-powertrain ehlanzekile.

Kusukela ngo-2021, uSihlalo weToyota u-Akio Toyoda ubeke ukushisa kwe-hydrogen njengendlela yokungabi nomthelela ku-carbon resistance. Umkhiqizi wezimoto omkhulu waseJapan ubelokhu ethuthukisa izinjini ezishisa i-hydrogen futhi ezifaka ezimotweni zomjaho. I-Akio Toyoda kulindeleke ukuthi ishayele injini ye-hydrogen emjahweni wokuqina eFuji Motor Speedway kule nyanga.

Muva nje ngo-2021, i-CEO ye-Honda uToshihiro Mibe yayingawunaki amandla ezinjini ze-hydrogen. I-Honda yafunda ubuchwepheshe kodwa yayingacabangi ukuthi buzosebenza ezimotweni, kusho yena.

Manje iHonda ibonakala ishintsha ijubane layo.

I-Honda, i-Suzuki, i-Kawasaki kanye ne-Yamaha bathi esitatimendeni esihlanganyelwe bazokwakha inhlangano entsha yocwaningo ebizwa nge-HySE, okufingqiwe ngokuthi i-Hydrogen Small Mobility kanye ne-Engine Technology. I-Toyota izosebenza njengelungu elihambisanayo lephaneli, isebenzisa ucwaningo lwayo ngezimoto ezinkulu.

“Ucwaningo kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezimoto ezisebenzisa i-hydrogen, ezibhekwa njengesizukulwane esilandelayo samandla, kuyashesha,” basho.

Abalingani bazohlanganisa ulwazi lwabo kanye nezinsizakusebenza ukuze “basungule ndawonye amazinga okuklama izinjini ezisebenzisa i-hydrogen zezimoto ezincane.”

Zonke ezine zingabakhiqizi abakhulu bezithuthuthu, kanye nabakhiqizi bezinjini zasemanzini ezisetshenziswa emikhunjini efana nezikebhe nezikebhe ezinenjini. Kodwa iHonda neSuzuki nazo zingabakhiqizi abaphezulu bezimoto ezincane ezidumile ezihlukile eJapane, ezibalelwa cishe ku-40% wemakethe yasekhaya enamasondo amane.

I-drivetrain entsha ayiyona ubuchwepheshe bamaseli kaphethiloli we-hydrogen.

Kunalokho, uhlelo lwamandla oluhlongozwayo luthembele ekushiseni kwangaphakathi, lushise i-hydrogen esikhundleni sikaphethiloli. Inzuzo engaba khona icishe ingabi nokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide.

Nakuba bezigqaja ngamakhono abo, abalingani abasha bayaqaphela izinselele ezinkulu.

Isivinini sokusha kwe-hydrogen siyashesha, indawo yokushisa ibanzi, ivame ukuholela ekungazinzini kokusha. Futhi amandla okugcina uphethiloli alinganiselwe, ikakhulukazi ezimotweni ezincane.

“Ukuze kuxazululwe lezi zinkinga,” kusho leli qembu, “amalungu e-HySE azibophezele ekwenzeni ucwaningo oluyisisekelo, esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bawo obukhulu ekuthuthukiseni izinjini ezisebenzisa uphethiloli, kanye nokusebenza ngokubambisana.”
