2025-06-30
Ukulethwa kwe-Tesla Semi ku-PepsiCo nakho kunemiphumela ebalulekile embonini yamaloli ebanzi. Kusebenza njengesibonakaliso esicacile sokuthi i-semi- I-trailerAma-s awaseyona inhloso yesikhathi esizayo kodwa manje aseyindlela ewusizo nephumelelayo yokusetshenziswa kwezentengiselwano. Njengoba izinkampani eziningi zilandela isibonelo se-PepsiCo futhi zitshala imali emalolini kagesi, kulindeleke ukuthi isidingo sengqalasizinda yokushaja sikhule, okubangela ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo nokwandiswa kohlelo lwezimoto zikagesi.
Ochwepheshe bemboni bakholelwa ukuthi impumelelo ye-Tesla Semi ingasheshisa ukushintshela ekuthuthweni okunamandla kagesi. Kodwa-ke, kusenezinselelo, njengesidingo senethiwekhi yokushaja ebanzi kanye nokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bebhethri ukuze kwandiswe ububanzi futhi kuncishiswe izikhathi zokushaja. Naphezu kwalezi zinselele, ukulethwa kwe-Tesla Semi ku-PepsiCo kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile esisisondeza ekusaseni elizinzile embonini yamaloli.
Amaloli eDaimler kanye neWaymo bandisa ubudlelwano bokuthuthukiswa kwe-trailer ezizimele
I-Daimler Trucks, umholi womhlaba wonke ekukhiqizweni kwezimoto zezentengiselwano, kanye noWaymo, iphayona kwezobuchwepheshe bokushayela okuzenzakalelayo, bamemezele ubambiswano olwandisiwe oluhlose ukusheshisa ukuthuthukiswa nokuthunyelwa kwamaloli azimele angama-semi-trailer. Lokhu kubambisana okunesu kumele isinyathelo esibalulekile ekuphishekeleni amaloli azishayela wona, anamandla okuguqula imboni yezokuthutha nezokuthutha.
Ngaphansi kobambiswano olwandisiwe, iDaimler Trucks kanye neWaymo bazosebenzisana ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe beWaymo bokuzishayela kuma-trailer e-Daimler's Freightliner Cascadia semi-trailer. Umgomo ukuthuthukisa ikhambi lokuthutha amaloli elinokwethenjelwa kakhulu neliphephile elizimele elingasebenza emizileni emide, ukunciphisa isidingo sabashayeli abangabantu kanye nokwandisa ukusebenza kahle kokuthuthwa kwezimpahla.
Enye yezinto ezibalulekile ezizogxilwa kulobu budlelwano kuzoba ukuthuthukisa ukuphepha nokusebenza kwama-semi-trailer azimele. Ubuchwepheshe bukaWaymo bokuzishayela, obusekelwe ekuhlanganisweni kwezinzwa, amakhamera, kanye nobuhlakani bokwenziwa, buye bahlolwa ngokuqinile ezimweni ezahlukahlukene zangempela. Ngokuhlanganisa lobu buchwepheshe emalolini kaDaimler, izinkampani zihlose ukudala uhlelo olungabhekana nezimo zethrafikhi eziyinkimbinkimbi, izimo zezulu ezimbi, kanye nezinye izinselele ezivame kakhulu ekuthuthweni kwamaloli amade.
Ngaphezu kokuphepha, lo budlelwano buhlose futhi ukubhekana nezinzuzo zomnotho zokuthutha ngamaloli okuzenzakalelayo. Ama-trailer azimele anamandla okwandisa ukusetshenziswa kwamaloli, njengoba engasebenza ngokuqhubekayo ngaphandle kwesidingo samakhefu okushayela. Lokhu kungaholela ekongeni izindleko ezinkulu ezinkampanini zezokuthutha, kanye nokunciphisa izikhathi zokulethwa kanye nokwaneliseka kwamakhasimende okuthuthukisiwe.
Ubambiswano olwandisiwe phakathi kweDaimler Trucks neWaymo lwakha phezu kokubambisana kwabo kwangaphambilini, okwaqala ngo-2017. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zenze intuthuko enkulu ekuthuthukiseni ubuchwepheshe bamaloli azimele, zenza ukuhlolwa okubanzi emigwaqweni yomphakathi e-United States. Isivumelwano esisha sizozivumela ukuthi zisheshise imizamo yazo yokuthuthukisa futhi zisondeze ama-trailer azimele eduze kokuhweba.
Nakuba ukwamukelwa ngokugcwele kwama-trailer angama-semi-trailer azimele kuseseyiminyaka eminingana, ukubambisana phakathi kweDaimler Trucks neWaymo kuyisibonakaliso esicacile sentshisekelo ekhulayo kwezobuchwepheshe bokuzishayela embonini yamaloli. Njengoba ubuchwepheshe buqhubeka nokuthuthuka futhi kusungulwa izinhlaka zomthetho, ama-trailer angama-semi-trailer azimele kulindeleke ukuthi adlale indima ebaluleke kakhulu esikhathini esizayo sezokuthutha. I-Tesla Semi, eyavezwa okokuqala ngo-2017, ibilokhu icatshangelwa kakhulu futhi ilindelwe. Ngomklamo wayo omuhle, we-aerodynamic kanye nobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu, i-Semi yenzelwe ukuguqula indlela izimpahla ezithuthwa ngayo amabanga amade. Iloli linesilinganiso sokuhudula esingu-0.36 kuphela, okunciphisa kakhulu ukusetshenziswa kwamandla uma kuqhathaniswa nama-trailer avamile asebenzisa udizili. Lokhu, kuhlanganiswe nebhethri layo elinamandla aphezulu, linikeza ibanga elingafika kumamayela angu-500 (cishe amakhilomitha angu-804.7) ngokushaja okukodwa uma kulayishwe ngokugcwele, okwenza kube inketho efanelekile yemizila eminingi yokuthutha emide.
Esinye sezici ezibalulekile ze-Tesla Semi amakhono ayo okusebenza. Iloli lingasheshisa kusuka ku-0 kuya ku-60 mph ngemizuzwana emi-5 kuphela uma lingenalutho kanye nemizuzwana engama-20 uma lilayishiwe ngokugcwele, okubonisa amandla nokusebenza kahle kwalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Semi ifakwe uhlelo losizo lwe-Autopilot oluthuthukisiwe lwe-Tesla, oluhlanganisa izici ezifana nokubhuleka okuphuthumayo okuzenzakalelayo, usizo lokugcina umzila, kanye nokugwema ukushayisana, okuthuthukisa ukuphepha emgwaqweni.
Ku-PepsiCo, ukwamukelwa kwe-Tesla Semi kuyingxenye yokuzibophezela okubanzi kwenkampani ekuzinzeni. Ngokushintshela kumaloli kagesi, i-PepsiCo ihlose ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwayo kwekhabhoni futhi ifake isandla endaweni ehlanzekile. Le nkampani ihlela ukusebenzisa amaloli e-Semi kunethiwekhi yayo yokusabalalisa, ithuthe imikhiqizo iye ezindaweni ezahlukene kulo lonke elase-United States. Lesi sinyathelo asigcini nje ngokuhambisana nemigomo ye-PepsiCo yezemvelo kodwa futhi sinamandla okunciphisa izindleko zayo zokusebenza ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, njengoba izimoto zikagesi zivame ukuba nezindleko eziphansi zikaphethiloli kanye nokugcinwa uma kuqhathaniswa namaloli e-diesel.
