Isifinyezo sokuqonda

Ukunyuka kwezithuthuthu zikagesi kubumba kabusha ezokuthutha zomuntu siqu ngokunikeza enye indlela evumelana nemvelo nengabizi ezimotweni zendabuko, kanye nokunezelwa kokuhlanganiswa kwama-smartphone. Lo mkhuba ungasiza ekuguquleni izindawo zasemadolobheni ngokuncipha kwethrafikhi nokungcoliswa komhlaba, ukudalwa kwemithetho emisha yokuphepha, kanye namandla okuba amabhizinisi athuthukise ukusimama ngokusebenzisa izinketho zokulethwa kukagesi. Ukushintshela kumasondo amabili kagesi kubangela izinguquko ekuthengeni, ingqalasizinda, imithethonqubo, kanye nendlela ephelele yokuhamba okusimeme.

Umongo wesithuthuthu sikagesi

Ukutholakala okwandayo kwezithuthuthu zikagesi ezisebenza ngebhethri kulekelelwa abathengi abaqaphela isimo sezulu abazimisele ukwenza izinqumo zokuthenga ezigunyaziwe ukuze banciphise umthelela omubi wezindlela zokuthutha ezikhipha ikhabhoni. Embikweni wokubikezela nokuhlaziya wangoMashi 2021, inkampani yocwaningo emhlabeni wonke, i-Technavio, ibike ukuthi imakethe yezithuthuthu zikagesi esebenza kahle emhlabeni wonke kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule ngesilinganiso sokukhula sonyaka esiyinhlanganisela (CAGR) cishe samaphesenti angama-28 phakathi kuka-2021 no-2025. Isibikezelo ukukhula kusekelwe ukufika kwemijaho yezithuthuthu ezisebenza ngogesi futhi abakhiqizi abakhulu bezithuthuthu bakhulisa ukugxila kwabo ekuthuthukiseni nasekukhiqizeni izithuthuthu zikagesi.

Umkhiqizi wezithuthuthu wase-Italy owaziwayo, uDucati, umemezele ukuthi kuzoba ukuphela komphakeli wezithuthuthu kwiNdebe Yomhlaba ye-FIM Enel MotoE kusukela ngesizini yomjaho ka-2023 kuye phambili. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imakethe yezithuthuthu zikagesi iyakhula, nohlu lwemikhiqizo encintisanayo emikhakheni eminingi nakumaphuzu amanani ahlukahlukene. Amakhasimende angakhetha kusukela ezithuthuthu zasemadolobheni ezinenani eliphansi njenge-CSC City Slicker kuya ku-Lightning Motorcycle Strike enenani eliphezulu kanye ne-Harley Davidson's LiveWire.

Inhlangano yomhlaba wonke ebheke ekukhishweni kwekhabhoni kusheshise ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto zikagesi nezithuthuthu, okuholele ekwehleni kwamanani entengo yamabhethri e-lithium-ion, umshayeli obalulekile ekukhuleni kwemakethe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukukhula kokwesekwa kukahulumeni kokwamukelwa kwezimoto zikagesi kulethe amathuba amakhulu okukhula emakethe. 

Umthelela ophazamisayo

Ukuheha kwezithuthuthu zikagesi akuboshelwe kuphela esimweni sazo sobungani bemvelo kodwa futhi nasekungabini kwazo ekunakekeleni nasekushajeni uma kuqhathaniswa nezimoto zikagesi. Ikhono lokuvuselela izithuthuthu zikagesi ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-smartphone liyanezela ekuthandeni kwazo, linikeza abagibeli indlela engenazihibe yokuthuthukisa ulwazi lwabo. Lo mkhuba ukhombisa ukushintshela kwezokuthutha zomuntu ezifinyeleleka kakhudlwana nezisimeme. Kungase kuholele ekwamukelweni okubanzi kwezixazululo zokuhamba zikagesi, kunikeze enye indlela engokoqobo ezimotweni ezisebenza ngophethiloli ezivamile.

Ngasohlangothini lwebhizinisi, intshisekelo ekhulayo yezithuthuthu zikagesi iveza kokubili amathuba nezinselele kubakhiqizi nabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo. Izinkampani kungase kudingeke ukuthi zivumelanise imigqa yazo yokukhiqiza namasu okumaketha ukuze zibhekelele le makethe esafufusa. Ukuhlanganiswa kobuchwepheshe be-smartphone nezithuthuthu zikagesi kunikeza iphuzu eliyingqayizivele lokuthengisa, kodwa futhi kudinga ukucatshangelwa ngokucophelela kokuphepha nolwazi lomsebenzisi. Amabhizinisi angase adinge ukusebenzisana nezinkampani zobuchwepheshe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi isofthiwe isebenziseka kalula futhi ivikelekile, nokudala okuhlangenwe nakho okuphelele komgibeli.

Kohulumeni nezinhlangano ezilawulayo, ukukhuphuka kwezithuthuthu zikagesi kudinga ukubuyekezwa kwemithetho ekhona yezimoto zikagesi. Uhulumeni kamasipala, wesifunda, kanye nokazwelonke kungase kudingeke ukuthi andise le mithetho embonini yezithuthuthu zikagesi. Iziteshi zokushaja zikagesi, ezakhelwe ekuqaleni ukusekela izimoto zikagesi, zingashintshwa ukuze zisetshenziswe abagibeli bezithuthuthu zikagesi, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi ingqalasizinda ikhona ukuze isekele lo mkhuba okhulayo. 

Imithelela yezithuthuthu zikagesi

Imithelela ebanzi yezithuthuthu zikagesi ingabandakanya: 

• Ukufinyeleleka okuthuthukisiwe kwezinketho zokuhamba zikagesi ezinamasondo amabili, kusukela ezithuthuthu kuya ezithuthuthu kuya emabhayisikili, okuholela ekwamukelweni okubanzi phakathi kwamaqembu emali engenayo futhi kube nomthelela esimweni sezokuthutha esibandakanyayo nesimeme.
• Ukuncipha kokuminyana kwezimoto, ukungcoliswa kwegesi, nokungcoliswa komsindo emadolobheni amakhulu njengoba abantu abaningi beya emsebenzini besebenzisa izithuthuthu zikagesi nezinye izinhlobo zezinto zokuhamba ezinamasondo amabili, okukhuthaza indawo yasemadolobheni ehlanzekile nehlalekayo.
• Uhulumeni usungula imithetho emisha yokuphepha ukuze alawule izici zokusheshisa, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi izithuthuthu zikagesi zingakhiqiza kanjani i-torque ngokushesha futhi zifinyelele isivinini esiphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa namamodeli ezithuthuthu ezivamile, okuholela ekuthuthukisweni kokuphepha emgwaqeni kanye nemikhuba yokugibela enesibopho.
• Izinsizakalo zokulethwa emadolobheni zithuthukisa amaphrofayili azo okusimama ngokuthenga izithuthuthu zikagesi noma izithuthuthu eziningi ukuze zengezelele futhi zisekele amabhizinisi abo, zibe neqhaza ekunciphiseni ukukhishwa kwegesi kanye nokuhambisana nezinjongo zokusimama komhlaba.
• Ukushintsha ekukhiqizeni izimoto kuya kumasondo amabili kagesi, okuholela ezinguqukweni ze-supply chain dynamics nokudala ubudlelwano obusha phakathi kwabakhiqizi bendabuko nezinkampani zobuchwepheshe.
• Ukwenyuswa kokutshalwa kwezimali kwingqalasizinda eshajayo eyenzelwe ngqo izithuthuthu zikagesi nama-scooters, okuholela kuzinketho zokushaja ezifinyeleleka kalula nezilula zabagibeli kanye nokusekela ukukhula kwemakethe kagesi enamasondo amabili.
• Ukuvela kwamathuba emisebenzi emisha ekulungisweni kwezimoto zikagesi, ukuthuthukiswa kwesoftware, nengqalasizinda eshajayo, okuholela emakethe yezabasebenzi ehlukahlukene kanye nezindlela ezintsha zemisebenzi.
• Izinselelo ezingaba khona ekuqinisekiseni ukutholakala ngokulinganayo kwamasondo amabili kagesi kanye nengqalasizinda eshajayo ezindaweni zasemakhaya nezindawo ezinganakekelwa kahle, okuholela esidingweni sezinqubomgomo ezihlosiwe kanye nezisusa zokuvimbela ukungafani kwezinketho zokuthutha.
• Ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo zokwabelana ezisekelwe emphakathini zezithuthuthu zikagesi nezikuta, okuholela ezindleleni zokuthutha eziguquguqukayo nezithengekayo kubahlali nezivakashi zasemadolobheni.

Imibuzo okufanele icatshangelwe

• Uma kubhekwa isivinini sezithuthuthu eziningi zikagesi, ucabanga ukuthi imithetho yesivinini ezindaweni zasemadolobheni kufanele ibuyekezwe ngezizathu zokuphepha komphakathi futhi kunqandwe izingozi ezibangelwa abashayeli?
• Ingakanani iphesenti labashayeli bezithuthuthu okholelwa ukuthi bangavuma ukushintsha izithuthuthu zabo ezinenjini evuthayo bafake izithuthuthu zikagesi?
