Unobhala wezoThutho uGrant Shapps uye wavakalisa umnqweno wakhe wokwenza indawo yokuhlawula imoto yombane yaseBrithani eba "njengomfanekiso kwaye uyabonakala njengebhokisi yefowuni yaseBrithani". Ethetha kule veki, uSapps uthe indawo entsha yokuhlawula iza kutyhilwa kwingqungquthela yemozulu yeCOP26 eGlasgow ngoNovemba.
ISebe lezoThutho (i-DfT) likuqinisekisile ukuqeshwa kweRoyal College of Art (RCA) kunye ne-PA Consulting ukuncedisa ukunikezela "uyilo lwendawo yentlawulo yaseBritani". Kuyathenjwa ukuba ukuqaliswa koyilo olugqityiweyo kuya kwenza iindawo zokuhlawula “ziqapheleke ngakumbi” kubaqhubi kwaye kuncede “ukwazisa” iimoto zombane (EVs).
Xa urhulumente etyhila uyilo olutsha kwi-COP26, uthi uza kucela nezinye izizwe ukuba "zikhawulezise" ukutshintshela kwizithuthi zombane. Ithi, kunye nokuphelisa amandla amalahle kunye nokuphelisa ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, kuya kuba “kubalulekile” ukugcina ubushushu bukwi-1.5°C.
Apha e-UK, imfuno yezithuthi zombane iyakhula. Amanani amva nje asuka kuMbutho wabaVelisi beeMoto kunye nabarhwebi (SMMT) abonisa ngaphezulu kwama-85,000 eemoto zombane ezitsha ezibhalisiweyo kwiinyanga ezisixhenxe zokuqala zika-2021. Oko kunyuswe ngaphezulu nje kwama-39,000 ngexesha elifanayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo.
Ngenxa yoko, iimoto zombane zaziqhayisa nge-8.1-pesenti yesabelo semarike yemoto entsha ngexesha lesiqingatha sokuqala se-2021. Ngokuthelekisa, isabelo semarike ngexesha lesiqingatha sokuqala se-2020 simi kwi-4,7 ekhulwini kuphela. Kwaye ukuba uquka ii-plug-in hybrid cars, ezikwazi ukuqhuba umgama omfutshane kumandla ombane kuphela, isabelo semarike sidubula ukuya kwi-12.5 ekhulwini.
Unobhala wezoThutho uGrant Shapps uthe unethemba lokuba iindawo ezintsha zokuhlawulisa ziza kunceda ukukhuthaza abaqhubi ukuba bangene kwizithuthi zombane.
"Uyilo olugqwesileyo ludlala indima ephambili ekuxhaseni utshintsho lwethu kwizithuthi zero zero, yingakho ndifuna ukubona amanqaku e-EV entlawulo abonakalayo kwaye ayaziwa njengebhokisi yefowuni yaseBrithani, ibhasi yaseLondon okanye i-black cab," watsho. "Ngaphantsi kweenyanga ezintathu ukuya kude kufike i-COP26, siyaqhubeka nokubeka i-UK phambili kuyilo, ukuvelisa kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezithuthi ezikhuphayo kunye neziseko zazo zokutshaja, njengoko sibuyela umva kwaye sibiza amazwe ehlabathi ukuba ngokufanayo. ukukhawulezisa ukutshintshela kwiimoto zombane.”
Okwangoku, uClive Grinyer, intloko yoyilo lwenkonzo kwi-RCA, uthe indawo entsha yokuhlawula iya kuba "isebenziseka, ihle kwaye iquka", ukudala "amava agqwesileyo" kubasebenzisi.
“Eli lithuba lokuxhasa uyilo lomfanekiso wexesha elizayo oza kuba yinxalenye yenkcubeko yethu yesizwe njengoko sisiya kwikamva elizinzileyo,” utshilo. “I-RCA ibiphambili ekuqulunqeni iimveliso zethu, ukushukumiseka kunye neenkonzo kule minyaka iyi-180 idlulileyo. Siyavuya kuba sidlala indima ekuyilweni kwamava enkonzo epheleleyo ukuqinisekisa usetyenziso olusebenzisekayo, oluhle noluqukayo olungamava abalaseleyo kubo bonke.”
