"Eyona nto ndicinga ngayo kukuba ... IiSupercars, iMelika, abantu basemzini, ukusungulwa kweemoto, iGear ephezulu, iimfazwe zesini kunye neemoto"
I-DiesEL iye yanyuka kancinane kwaye ngokuthe ngcembe isuka ekusebenziseni iitrektara, iilori kunye neeteksi ezinkulu ukuya kumafutha aqhelekileyo asetyenziswa kwiimoto zabakhweli baseBritane, engabalulekanga xa kuthelekiswa nezinga layo elihlazo lokuwa.
Idizili yayikhe yabhengezwa njengesixhobo sokusebenza kwepetroli kunye nekhabhoni ephantsi kakhulu kunepetroli, kodwa kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ihlazo le-"Diesel Gate" lika-2015 elabanjwa yiVolkswagen ukukopela kwiimvavanyo zokukhutshwa kokuthengisa iimoto zedizili zonakalise kakhulu Umfanekiso oluhlaza. yedizili.
Nangona kunjalo, nangaphambi koku, kwakukho amahemuhemu okuba amafutha ayengacocekanga njengoko umenzi watshoyo.Uphononongo oludizwe okokuqala yiBritish "Sunday Times" yafumanisa ukuba i-fuel inoxanduva lobuninzi bongcoliseko olubangela ukufa kwe-40,000 e-UK ngonyaka ngamnye.
Ingxelo yokuqala egunyaziswe nguMphathiswa wezeNdalo, i-Defra, ichaze ukunyuka kwe-nitrogen dioxide ekhutshwayo kunye namanqanaba aphezulu amasuntswana anetyhefu kwizithuthi zedizili, ezinokungena kuwo onke amalungu omzimba ngemiphunga.
Iingcali zonyango zicela urhulumente ukuba asuse izithuthi zedizili ezindleleni zase-UK.Izazinzulu zifumanise ukuba amasuntswana amancinane kungcoliseko lomoya anokwandisa kakhulu usulelo kwaye enze amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane kube nzima ukunyanga.Iinkxalabo malunga nefuthe lomgangatho womoya kwimpilo yabantu ngokuyinxenye kungenxa yophando malunga nokukhutshwa kwe-diesel, okukhokelele ekwazisweni kwendawo yokukhupha i-ultra-low emission eLondon ngo-2019.
Njengoko kwenzeka, njengoko i-diesel ilahlekelwa ngumfanekiso wayo oluhlaza, ibhetri kunye neteknoloji yemoto yombane iye yaphucula ngokuthe ngcembe, oku kuthetha ukuba abo bafuna iimoto ezingabizi kakhulu okanye ezihambelana nokusingqongileyo ngoku banezinye iindlela, ezifana neenqwelo zombane ezicocekileyo okanye izithuthi ezixubileyo.
