Iindaba - Ngenxa yenkxalabo malunga neerhafu, ukunikezelwa kweemoto zaseMelika kuyehla

Detroit — Uluhlu lweemoto ezintsha nezisetyenzisiweyo eMelika luyehla ngokukhawuleza njengoko abathengi bebaleka besiya kwizithuthi ngaphambi kokunyuka kwamaxabiso okunokuhambisana neerhafu, ngokutsho kwabathengisi beemoto kunye nabahlalutyi beli shishini.
Inani leentsuku zokuhanjiswa kwezithuthi ezintsha, ezibalwe ngokwexabiso eliqikelelweyo lemihla ngemihla, lehle laya kwiintsuku ezingama-70 kule nyanga ukusuka kwi-91 ekuqaleni kukaMatshi, ngokutsho kweCox Automotive. Le nkampani ithe ukuhanjiswa kwezithuthi ezisetyenzisiweyo okusele kuphantsi ngeentsuku ezi-4 ukuya kwi-39.
“Abathengi bazama ukoyisa irhafu yokungenisa impahla,” utshilo umphathi wezoqoqosho weCox uJonathan Smoke ngoLwesibini ngexesha lohlaziyo lwe-intanethi. Ukwehla kwenani leentsuku zokungenisa impahla yenye yezona zinkulu esizibonileyo kwiminyaka eliqela.”
Xa kuthelekiswa nemarike eqhelekileyo, apho ukuguquguquka kokunikezelwa kwempahla kukwimihla emihlanu ukuya kwesixhenxe ngenyanga, utshilo uCox.
USmoke uthe intengiso yezithuthi ezintsha inyuke ngama-22 ekhulwini ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo ngokwesiseko esihlengahlengisiweyo sexesha lonyaka inyuke ngaphezu kwama-8 ekhulwini ukusukela ekuqaleni konyaka. UCox uqikelele ukuba intengiso kwimarike esetyenzisiweyo "iya kunyuka kakhulu," kunye nesantya sentengiso sangoku sinyuke ngama-7 ekhulwini xa kuthelekiswa nowama-2024.
Ukwanda kwentengiso ziindaba ezimnandi kwishishini leemoto, apho uninzi lwabahlalutyi bebelindele ukuba kuza kuba njalo kulo nyaka. Kodwa kukho uloyiko lokuba xa isitokhwe seemoto esingenantlawulo siphela, intengiso ingama.
Inkampani yeengcebiso zeemoto iqikelela ukuba iindleko eziphezulu zemveliso, iinxalenye kunye nezinye izinto ziya kunciphisa ukuthengiswa kwezithuthi ezintsha eMelika naseKhanada ngaphezulu kweeyunithi ezi-2 zezigidi ngonyaka, ngenxa yokunyuka kweendleko kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso okunxulumene noko.
Izabelo zeenkampani zeemoto zenyuka emva kokuba uTrump ethe ufuna "ukunceda" abanye abenzi beemoto. Iirhafu zezithuthi zikaTrump ze-2%, esele zisebenza, kulindeleke ukuba zinciphise ukuthengiswa kweemoto ngezigidi ezininzi zeemoto kwaye zibize i-$100 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi. Iimoto zaseKhanada ze-25% sele zisebenza. Abahlalutyi bakholelwa ukuba nangona abenzi beemoto kunye nabathengisi banokukwazi ukuthabatha ezinye zeendleko zokunyuka, balindele ukuba zidlulisele ukunyuka kweendleko kubathengi base-US, nto leyo enokubuyisela umva kwaye inciphise intengiso.
Abavelisi beemoto abaninzi baqokelela uluhlu lweemoto neelori ezingenisiweyo ngaphambi kokuba uMongameli uDonald Trump abeke i-25% kwiimoto ezingenisiweyo ngo-Epreli 3. Kodwa abanye batshintshe izinto abazithengayo, bapaka iimoto kumazibuko okanye bamisa ukungeniswa kwazo ngokupheleleyo, njengeJaguar Land Rover.
IGeneral Motors ibisoloko inyusa imveliso eMelika, kuquka nokwandisa umzi-mveliso wase-Indiana owenza ii-pickups kunye nokurhoxisa ukumiswa okucwangcisiweyo kwemveliso kwinyanga ezayo kumzi-mveliso oseTennessee.
URyan Rohrman, i-CEO yeRohrman Automotive Group ese-Indiana, uthe kwiveki ephelileyo ukuqala kuka-Epreli "kuqale kakuhle kakhulu" nto leyo eya kubonisa ukuba iirhafu kunye nokuthengwa kwezinto ezingxamisekileyo kunye nempahla ziphucukile ukusuka kwinto ebeziyiyo kwiminyaka yakutshanje.
“Ishishini liqinile ngokwenene ngoku,” utshilo uRollman, oneqela lakhe elineendawo ezingama-22 zefranchise. “UMatshi ubumhle, kwaye awuzange ucothe.”
Abavelisi beemoto iFord Motor kunye neStellantis, inkampani engumzali weChrysler, babona la maxabiso njengethuba lokunciphisa uluhlu lwezinto ezithengiswayo ezibonelela abathengi ngezivumelwano "zokubeka amaxabiso abasebenzi".
UNick Anderson, umphathi jikelele wevenkile yakwaFord eMissouri, uthe izaphulelo ezikhethekileyo kunye neenkxalabo zokuba amaxabiso anokunyuka kungekudala ngenxa yerhafu zibangela ukuba abathengi abanomdla kakhulu kumaxabiso beze kwindawo yakhe yokubonisa. Oko kulungile kwintengiso kodwa kunempembelelo embi kwinzuzo iyonke yevenkile.
“Sisebenza nzima ukuze sifikelele okanye sidlule kunyaka ophelileyo,” utshilo. “Abantu abaninzi esibabonayo ngokuqinisekileyo banomdla ngakumbi kumaxabiso. Intengiso yeeyunithi isekhona, kodwa ingeniso yethu iyonke ihlile. Luhlobo nje olwahlukileyo lwabathengi.”
UAnderson uthe unethemba ngentengiso kulo nyaka kodwa “ixhomekeke kakhulu kwindlela eziza kubonakala ngayo iirhafu kwiintsuku ezingama-60 ukuya kwezingama-90 ezizayo.”
UTrump uthe ngoMvulo ufuna "uncedo kwezinye zeenkampani zeemoto," kodwa akazange acacise ukuba oko kungathetha ukuthini.
USihlalo weStellantis uJohn Elkann uvakalise “ukhuthazo” lwakhe kwintlanganiso yonyaka yabavelisi beemoto ephendula izimvo zikaTrump, ephawula ukuba irhafu ye-25% kwiimoto ezingeniswa kwamanye amazwe kunye nemithetho engqongqo yokukhupha ukungcola eYurophu ibeke iimarike ezimbini zeemoto emngciphekweni.”
