Izimoto ezintsha e-Europe zikhula ngo-1 cm ububanzi njalo eminyakeni emibili, ngokwesilinganiso, ngokocwaningo olwenziwe yi-NGO Transport & Environment (T&E) yezemvelo. I-T&E ithi lo mkhuba uzoqhubeka ngenxa yokwenyuka kokudayiswa kwamaSUV ngaphandle uma abomthetho bethatha izinyathelo.
Cishe uhhafu wezimoto ezintsha ezidayisiwe sezivele zibanzi kakhulu ukuthi zingakwazi ukuthola indawo yokupaka emgwaqeni emazweni amaningi. I-Paris ingaba inhlokodolobha yokuqala enkulu yase-Europe ukubhekana nalesi simo uma izakhamizi zivumela amanani aphezulu okupaka ama-SUV kunhlolovo ngenyanga ezayo.
Isilinganiso sobubanzi bezimoto ezintsha sinwetshwe safinyelela ku-180.3 cm engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2023, sisuka ku-177.8 cm ngo-2018, ucwaningo lwe-T & E luthola. Idatha ehlanganiswe yi-ICCT iqinisekisa ukuthambekela okufanayo emashumini amabili eminyaka kuze kufike ku-2020. Izimoto ezintsha e-EU zingaphansi kobubanzi obufanayo obukhulu-255 cm-njengamabhasi namaloli. I-T&E ithe ngaphandle kokuthi ubuyekezwe umkhawulo wobubanzi bezimoto we-EU futhi amadolobha akhokhise amanani okupaka aphezulu, ama-SUV amakhulu nama-pick-ups azoqhubeka nokunwebeka aze afike ezingeni elihloselwe amaloli.
Phakathi kwamamodeli aphezulu ayi-100 ngo-2023, u-52% wezimoto ezidayisiwe bezibanzi kakhulu endaweni ebekiwe yokupaka emgwaqweni (180 cm) emadolobheni amakhulu, okuhlanganisa iLondon, iParis neRome, ucwaningo nalo luyathola. Indawo yokupaka engaphandle komgwaqo manje isiyimpintshana ngisho nemoto entsha evamile (ububanzi obungu-180 cm), kuyilapho ama-SUV amakhulu kanokusho awasangeni. Ezilinganisa cishe u-200 cm ububanzi, amaSUV amakhulu okunethezeka ashiya isikhala esincane kakhulu ukuze abagibeli bezimoto bangene baphume ezimotweni ezindaweni ezingaphandle komgwaqo (240 cm).
Ukukhula ngosayizi kugqame kakhulu phakathi kwama-SUV amakhulu okunethezeka: ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, i-Land Rover Defender ikhule ngo-20.6 cm kanye ne-Mercedes X5 ngo-6 cm eminyakeni eyisithupha nje. Ngo-2023, iVolvo iye yaba ngu-4.1 cm ububanzi nge-EX90 yayo. Abakhi bezimoto basebenzisa lokhu kukhula kwamaSUV amakhulu kunawo wonke ukuze bakhulise nobubanzi bezimoto ezisesigabeni esimaphakathi nesihlangene.
Umkhuba obheke ezimotweni ezibanzi unciphisa isikhala somgwaqo esitholakala kwezinye izimoto nabagibeli bamabhayisikili kuyilapho izimoto ezipakiwe ziqhubeka zingena ezindleleni zezinyawo. Imiklamo ebanzi iphinde yasiza ukuphakama kwezimoto ukuthi ziqhubeke nokuphakanyiswa, naphezu kwedatha yokuphahlazeka ebonisa ukunyuka okungu-10 cm ubude bezindawo zezimoto kuthwala ubungozi obuphezulu obungama-30% bokushayisana nabahamba ngezinyawo nabamabhayisikili.
Amadolobha amaningana aseYurophu asevele ethule imithetho evimbela kakhulu yokupaka yama-SUV. Idolobha lase-Paris liyidolobha lakamuva nelikhulu laseYurophu ukubhekana nesimo sezimoto ezinkulu futhi selibize izakhamuzi ukuthi zivotele ukuthi ingabe imali yokupaka kufanele iphindwe kathathu ezimotweni ezisindayo.
Inhlolovo yakamuva yeClean Cities Campaign ithole ukuthi cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zabantu baseParis bavumelana nezinkokhelo eziphakeme zokupaka izimoto ezinkulu, ezinkulu nezingcolisayo. Uma kuvunywa, izindlela ezintsha enhlokodolobha yaseFrance zingabeka isibonelo esibalulekile kwamanye amadolobha amaningi aseYurophu acubungula izinguquko ezifanayo.
I-T&E ithe abenzi bomthetho be-EU kufanele bagunyaze ukuthi kubuyekezwe ububanzi obukhulu bezimoto ezintsha lapho bebuyekeza umthetho ezinyangeni ezizayo. Futhi, iziphathimandla zedolobha kufanele zibeke izindleko zokupaka kanye nemigwaqo ekhokhelwayo ngokusekelwe kusayizi wemoto nesisindo, ukuze ama-SUV amakhulu okunethezeka nama-pick-up akhokhele kakhulu ngokusebenzisa indawo eyengeziwe.
