Imboni ye-EEC Electric Vehicles ibisebenza ngesivinini esikhulu.Izimoto ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.7 ziphuma emgqeni womhlangano ngonyaka odlule, izinga eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-1999. Uma iqhubeka ikhula ngesilinganiso sakamuva, irekhodi lomlando wezimoto zikagesi eziyizigidi ezingu-1.9 ezibekwe ku-1972 zizophulwa eminyakeni embalwa.NgoJulayi 25, u-Yunlong, ongumnikazi we-Mini brand, umemezele ukuthi uzokhiqiza imodeli kagesi yonke yale moto ehlangene e-Oxford kusukela ngo-2019, esikhundleni sokusongela ukuyikhiqiza eNetherlands ngemuva kwenhlolokhono yeBrexit.
Kodwa-ke, isimo se-automaker sishubile futhi sincipha.Ngaphandle kwesimemezelo sikaYunlong, bambalwa abantu abakhululekile ngekusasa lesikhathi eside lalo mkhakha.Ngempela, abanye abantu bakhathazeka ngokuthi inhlolovo yeBrexit yangonyaka odlule ingase ibathene amandla.
Abakhiqizi bayaqaphela ukuthi ukujoyina i-European Union kuzosiza ukusindisa ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto zaseBrithani.Ukuhlanganiswa kwezinhlobo zezimoto ezahlukahlukene ngaphansi kweBritish Leyland kwaba inhlekelele.Ukuncintisana kucindezelwe, ukutshalwa kwezimali kuntengantenga, nobudlelwano bezabasebenzi buye bawohloka, kangangoba abaphathi abaphambukile emhlanganweni kwadingeka bagweme imicibisholo.Kwaze kwafika ngo-1979 lapho abakhiqizi bezimoto baseJapan abaholwa abakwaHonda bafuna izisekelo zokuthumela e-Europe, futhi ukukhiqizwa kwaqala ukwehla.IBrithani yajoyina lokho ngaleso sikhathi okwakuthiwa i-European Economic Community ngo-1973, okwenza lezi zinkampani zingene emakethe enkulu.Imithetho yezabasebenzi eguquguqukayo yase-UK nobungcweti bonjiniyela kwengeze isikhalazo.
Into ekhathazayo ukuthi iBrexit izokwenza izinkampani zakwamanye amazwe zicabange kabusha.Isitatimende esisemthethweni sakwaToyota, Nissan, Honda kanye nezinye izinkampani eziningi ezikhiqiza izimoto ukuthi bazolinda umphumela wezingxoxo ezizoba seBrussels ukuwa okulandelayo.Osomabhizinisi babika ukuthi selokhu alahlekelwa ngamaningi okhethweni lukaJuni, uTheresa May uzimisele kakhulu ukubalalela.IKhabinethi ibonakala ibona ekugcineni ukuthi isikhathi soguquko sizodingeka ngemva kokuba i-United Kingdom ishiye i-European Union ngoNdasa wezi-2019. Kodwa izwe lisaqhubekela phambili “ku-Brexit eqinile” futhi lishiya imakethe eyodwa ye-EU.Ukungaqini kahle kukahulumeni omncane kaNkk May kungase kwenze kungenzeki nhlobo ukufinyelela esivumelwaneni.
Ukungaqiniseki kubangele ukulahlekelwa.Engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2017, ukutshalwa kwezimali kokukhiqizwa kwezimoto kwehle kwafika kumaphawundi ayizigidi ezingu-322 (amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-406), uma kuqhathaniswa namaphawundi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.7 ngo-2016 kanye namaphawundi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.5 ngo-2015. Umphumela wehlile.Umphathi oyedwa ukholelwa ukuthi, njengoba uNksz. Mei ephawulile, ithuba lokuthola ukufinyelela emakethe eyodwa ekhethekile yezimoto “liqanda”.UMike Hawes we-SMMT, okuyinhlangano yezimboni, uthe noma ngabe kwenziwa isivumelwano, kuzoba kubi kakhulu kunezimo zamanje.
Esimeni esibi kakhulu, uma kungekho sivumelwano sokuhwebelana esifinyelelwayo, imithetho yeNhlangano Yezohwebo Yomhlaba izosho intela engu-10% ezimotweni kanye nentela engu-4.5% ezingxenyeni.Lokhu kungabangela ukulimala: ngokwesilinganiso, i-60% yezingxenye zemoto ezenziwe e-UK zingeniswa zivela e-European Union;phakathi nenqubo yokukhiqiza izimoto, ezinye izingxenye zizohamba ziye emuva naphambili phakathi kwe-UK ne-Europe izikhathi eziningi.
UMnu. Hawes uthe kuzoba nzima kubakhiqizi bezimoto emakethe enkulu ukunqoba amanani entengo.Izilinganiso zenzuzo eYurophu ziphakathi kuka-5-10%.Ukutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kwenze amafekthri amaningi e-UK asebenza kahle, ngakho-ke sincane indawo yokunciphisa izindleko.Ithemba elilodwa ukuthi izinkampani zizimisele ukubheja ukuthi i-Brexit izokwehlisa unomphela iphawundi ukuze inciphise amanani entengo;kusukela ku-referendum, iphawundi lehle ngo-15% ngokumelene ne-euro.
Nokho, amanani entengo angase angabi inkinga enkulu kakhulu.Ukwethulwa kokulawulwa kwempahla kuzothikameza ukuhamba kwezingxenye nge-English Channel, ngaleyo ndlela kuvimbe ukuhlelwa kwefekthri.I-inventory ye-wafer encane inganciphisa izindleko.Uhlu lwezingxenye eziningi luhlanganisa kuphela isigamu sosuku sokukhiqiza, ngakho ukugeleza okubikezelwayo kubalulekile.Ingxenye yokulethwa embonini yakwaNissan Sunderland ihlelelwe ukuthi iqedwe kungakapheli imizuzu eyi-15.Ukuvumela ukuhlolwa kwempahla kusho ukugcinwa kwezimpahla ezinkulu ngezindleko eziphezulu.
Naphezu kwalezi zingqinamba, ingabe abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto bazoyilandela i-BMW futhi batshale imali e-UK?Selokhu kwaba nenhlolovo, abakwaBMW akusiyo yodwa inkampani ezomemezela amaphrojekthi amasha.Ngo-Okthoba, kwaNissan bathi bazokhiqiza izimoto zesizukulwane esilandelayo iQashqai neX-Trail SUV eSunderland.NgoMashi walo nyaka, kwaToyota bathi bazotshala imali engu-240 million pounds ukuze kwakhiwe ifemu enkabeni yesifunda.AbakwaBrexiteers baveze lokhu njengobufakazi bokuthi imboni izoduma noma kunjalo.
Lokho kuyithemba.Isizathu esisodwa sokutshalwa kwezimali kwakamuva ubude besikhathi eside bemboni yezimoto: kungase kuthathe iminyaka emihlanu kusukela kwethulwa imodeli entsha kuya ekukhiqizweni, ngakho isinqumo senziwa kusengaphambili.KwaNissan bebehlele ukutshala imali eSunderland isikhathi eside.Enye inketho ye-BMW e-Netherlands isho ukusebenzisa umenzi wenkontileka esikhundleni sefekthri ephethwe yi-BMW-inketho eyingozi kumamodeli abalulekile.
Uma imboni isivele ikhiqiza lolu hlobo lwemoto, kunengqondo ukwenza inguqulo entsha yemodeli ekhona (njengeMini kagesi).Lapho bakha imodeli entsha kusukela phansi, abenzi bezimoto bangase babukeke phesheya kwezilwandle.Lokhu sekuvele kushiwo ohlelweni lwe-BMW.Yize amaMini azohlanganiswa e-Oxford, amabhethri nezinjini eziqukethe bonke ubuchwepheshe obusha obuhlakaniphile zizothuthukiswa eJalimane.
Okunye okudale lesi simemezelo ngemva kwe-referendum yikuthi uHulumende wazama ngamandla ukuthi aqhubekele phambili.AbakwaNissan nabakwaToyota bathole “iziqiniseko” ezingashiwongo kungqongqoshe zokuthi izethembiso zabo ngeke zibavumele ukuthi bakhokhe emaphaketheni abo ngemuva kweBrexit.Uhulumeni wenqabile ukudalula ngokuqondile okuqukethwe isithembiso.Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyini, akunakwenzeka ukuthi kuzoba nezimali ezanele zabo bonke abangaba abatshalizimali, yonke imboni, noma ingunaphakade.
Ezinye izimboni zibhekana nezingozi ezisheshayo.NgoMashi walo nyaka, i-French PSA Group yathola i-Opel, ekhiqiza iVauxhall e-UK, okungase kube yizindaba ezimbi kubasebenzi bakwaVauxhall.I-PSA izofuna ukunciphisa izindleko ukuze iqinisekise ukutholwa, futhi izimboni ezimbili zeVauxhall zingase zibe sohlwini.
Akuwona wonke ama-automaker azophuma.Njengoba umphathi ka-Aston Martin u-Andy Palmer asho, izimoto zakhe zezemidlalo zikanokusho ezibizayo azibafanele abantu abanganaki amanani.Kuyafana nangeRolls-Royce ngaphansi kweBMW, Bentley neMcLaren ngaphansi kweVolkswagen.IJaguar Land Rover, inkampani enkulukazi ekhiqiza izimoto eBrithani, ithumela ngaphandle kuphela u-20% womkhiqizo wayo e-European Union.Imakethe yasekhaya inkulu ngokwanele ukugcina umkhiqizo othile wasekhaya.
Noma kunjalo, u-Nick Oliver we-University of Edinburgh Business School uthe amanani aphezulu angaholela “ekuhambeni okuhamba kancane, nokungakhathali.”Ngisho nokunciphisa noma ukukhansela ukuthengiselana kwabo kuzolimaza ukuncintisana.Njengoba inethiwekhi yabahlinzeki basekhaya kanye nezinye izimboni zincipha, abakhiqizi bezimoto bazokuthola kunzima kakhulu ukuthola izingxenye.Ngaphandle kokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kubuchwepheshe obusha obufana nogesi nokushayela uzimele, izindawo zokuhlanganisa zaseBrithani zizothembela kakhulu ezintweni ezingenisiwe.Ingozi yemoto yenzeke ngokuphazima kweso.I-Brexit ingaba nemiphumela efanayo eyingozi yokuhamba kancane.
Lesi sihloko sivele engxenyeni yase-UK yoshicilelo olunyathelisiwe ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi “Ukusheshisa Okuncane, Izinkinga Eziyinhloko”
Kusukela yashicilelwa ngo-September 1843, iye yahlanganyela “emncintiswaneni oshubile phakathi kobuhlakani obuthuthukayo kanye nokungazi okunyanyekayo nokunamahloni okuvimbela intuthuko yethu.”
