Futhi iningi lezimoto zikagesi (amaphesenti angu-58.8) zibhaliselwe amabhizinisi, i-SMMT ethi iwumfanekiso wentela ephansi yenkampani yentela ekhuthaza amabhizinisi nabashayeli bezimoto ukuthi bashintshele ezimotweni zikagesi.
"Ukushintshela kweBrithani ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi kuyaqhubeka nokukhula ngesivinini, njengoba kunerekhodi elilodwa kwezinhlanu ezintsha ezibhalisiwe manje sezifakiwe," kusho isikhulu esiphezulu se-SMMT uMike Hawes. “Kodwa-ke, basamele imoto eyodwa kwezingama-50 emgwaqeni, ngakho-ke kunesisekelo esibalulekile okumele sibhekane naso uma sifuna ukuthutha ngokugcwele emgwaqeni.
