Unobhala wezokuThutha uGrant Shapps uzwakalise isifiso sakhe sokwenza indawo yokushaja imoto kagesi yaseBrithani eba “njengesakhiwo sodumo futhi esibonakala njengebhokisi lefoni laseBrithani”.Ekhuluma kuleli sonto, uShapps uthe indawo entsha yokukhokhiswa izokwethulwa engqungqutheleni yesimo sezulu ye-COP26 eGlasgow ngoNovemba.
UMnyango Wezokuthutha (i-DfT) ukuqinisekisile ukuqokwa kweRoyal College of Art (RCA) kanye ne-PA Consulting ukusiza ukuletha “umklamo wezindawo zokushaja waseBrithani”.Kwethenjwa ukuthi ukukhishwa komklamo oqediwe kuzokwenza izindawo zokushaja “zibonakale kakhudlwana” kubashayeli futhi kusize “ukuqwashisa” ngezimoto zikagesi (EVs).
Uma uhulumeni eveza umklamo omusha ku-COP26, uthi uzocela nezinye izizwe ukuthi “zisheshise” ukushintshela ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi.Ithi, kanye nokuqeda amandla amalahle nokunqanda ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, kuyoba “okubalulekile” ukuze kugcinwe ukufudumala ku-1.5°C.
Lapha e-UK, isidingo sezimoto zikagesi siyakhula.Izibalo zakamuva ze-Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) zikhombisa ukuthi kwabhaliswa izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi ezingaphezu kuka-85,000 ezinyangeni eziyisikhombisa zokuqala zika-2021.
Ngenxa yalokho, izimoto zikagesi zaziqhenya ngesabelo samaphesenti angu-8.1 emakethe yezimoto entsha phakathi nengxenye yokuqala ka-2021. Uma kuqhathaniswa, isabelo semakethe engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2020 sasimi kumaphesenti angu-4.7 kuphela.Futhi uma uhlanganisa izimoto ezihlanganisiwe ezixhumene ne-plug-in, ezikwazi ukushayela amabanga amafushane ngamandla kagesi wodwa, isabelo semakethe sifinyelela kumaphesenti angu-12.5.
UNobhala wezokuThutha, uGrant Shapps, uthe unethemba lokuthi lezi zindawo ezintsha zokukhokhisa zizosiza abashayeli ukuthi bangene ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi.
"Idizayini enhle kakhulu idlala indima ebalulekile ekusekeleni ukushintshela kwethu ezimotweni ezikhishwa yiziro, yingakho ngifuna ukubona izindawo zokushaja ze-EV eziyisakhiwo sodumo futhi zibonakala njengebhokisi lefoni laseBrithani, ibhasi laseLondon noma i-black cab," esho.“Sekusele izinyanga ezingaphansi kwezintathu kufike i-COP26, siyaqhubeka nokubeka i-UK phambili ekwakhiweni, ekwakhiweni nasekusetshenzisweni kwezimoto ezikhipha umoya ongekho kanye nengqalasizinda yazo eshajayo, njengoba sisakha kabusha sibe luhlaza futhi sinxusa amazwe emhlabeni wonke ukuba enze okufanayo. ukusheshisa ukushintshela ezimotweni ezisebenza ngogesi.”
Khonamanjalo, uClive Grinyer, inhloko yokwakhiwa kwenkonzo kwa-RCA, uthe indawo entsha yokushaja izoba “esebenzisekayo, ibe yinhle futhi ihlanganise wonke umuntu”, idale “isipiliyoni esihle kakhulu” kubasebenzisi.
“Leli yithuba lokusekela ukuklanywa kwesithonjana esizayo esizoba yingxenye yesiko lethu lesizwe njengoba siphokophele ekusaseni elisimeme,” esho.“I-RCA ibihamba phambili ekulolongeni imikhiqizo yethu, ukuhambahamba kanye nezinsiza kule minyaka engu-180 edlule.Sijabule ngokubamba iqhaza ekwakhiweni kwesipiliyoni sesevisi esiphelele ukuze siqinisekise idizayini esebenzisekayo, enhle nefaka wonke umuntu okuhlangenwe nakho okuhle kakhulu kubo bonke.”
