I-PITTSBURGH (AP) - Omunye wabakhi bezitimela abakhulu uthengisa izitimela ezintsha ezisebenza ngebhethri njengoba izinkampani zikaloliwe kanye nezimayini zisebenzela ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni.
I-Rio Tinto ivumile ukuthenga izitimela ezine ezintsha ze-FLXdrive ukuze zisebenze izimayini zensimbi e-Australia, kusho u-Wabtec ngoMsombuluko, okuyi-oda elikhulu kunawo wonke lemodeli entsha kuze kube manje. Ngaphambilini, inkampani yasePittsburgh yayimemezele kuphela ukuthengiswa kwesitimela ngasinye enye inkampani yezimayini yase-Australia kanye ne-Canadian National Railway.
I-BNSF ihlole isitimela esisebenza ngebhethri esivela e-Wabtec kujantshi wesitimela waseCalifornia ngonyaka odlule, okungenye yephrojekthi yokuhlola embalwa umzila wesitimela umemezele ukuthi uzohlola ezinye izibaseli zezitimela ukuze kwehliswe ukukhishwa kwesisi esibamba ukushisa.
Bobabili i-BNSF kanye neCanadian Pacific Railroad basanda kumemezela izinhlelo zokuhlola izitimela ezisebenza nge-hydrogen, kanti iCanadian National Railway ithe izosebenzisa izitimela ezisebenza ngamabhethri ezithengayo ukuthutha impahla ePennsylvania. ngegesi yemvelo.
Izitimela ziwumthombo omkhulu wokukhishwa kwekhabhoni kojantshi bezitimela, ngakho-ke kudingeka babuyisele imikhumbi yabo ukuze bahlangabezane nezinhloso zabo zokunciphisa ukungcola. Kodwa izinkampani zikaloliwe zithi kungase kuthathe iminyaka eminingana ngaphambi kokuba zilungele ukusetshenziswa kabanzi kwezitimela zisebenzisa amanye amafutha.
Izitimela ezintsha ze-Wabtec zizolethwa e-Rio Tinto ngo-2023, okuzovumela umvukuzi ukuthi aqale ukushintsha ezinye zezitimela ezisebenza ngodizili ezizisebenzisayo njengamanje.
