Abanye babakhiqizi bamaloli abakhulu kuzwelonke ngoLwesine bathembise ukuthi bazoyeka ukuthengisa izimoto ezintsha ezisebenza ngegesi eCalifornia maphakathi neshumi leminyaka elizayo, okuyingxenye yesivumelwano nabalawuli bombuso okuhloswe ngaso ukuvimbela amacala asongela ukubambezela noma ukuvimba izindinganiso zombuso zokukhishwa kwegesi.I-California izama ukuzisusa kuphethiloli, ishaya imithetho emisha eminyakeni yamuva nje ukuze kuqedwe izimoto ezisebenza ngegesi, amaloli, izitimela kanye nemishini yotshani esizweni esinabantu abaningi kakhulu.
Kuzothatha iminyaka ngaphambi kokuthi yonke leyo mithetho isebenze ngokugcwele.Kodwa kakade ezinye izimboni ziyahlehla.Ngenyanga edlule, imboni yezitimela yamangalela iCalifornia Air Resources Board ukuthi ivimbe imithetho emisha ezovimba izitimela ezindala futhi ifune ukuthi izinkampani zithenge imishini ekhipha i-zero.
Isimemezelo sangoLwesine sisho ukuthi amacala mancane amathuba okuthi abambezeleke imithetho efanayo embonini yamaloli.Izinkampani zavuma ukulandela imithetho yase-California, ehlanganisa ukuvimbela ukuthengiswa kwamaloli amasha asebenzisa igesi ngo-2036. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, abalawuli baseCalifornia bavuma ukuxegisa ezinye zezindinganiso zabo zokukhipha umoya wamaloli edizili.Izwe lavuma ukusebenzisa indinganiso ye-federal emission eqala ngo-2027, ephansi kunalokho imithetho yase-California ebingaba yikho.
Abalawuli baseCalifornia baphinde bavuma ukuvumela lezi zinkampani ukuthi ziqhubeke nokudayisa izinjini zikadizili ezindala kakhulu eminyakeni emithathu ezayo, kodwa kuphela uma ziphinda zidayise izimoto ezikhipha i-zero emission ukuze ziqede ukungcola kulawomaloli amadala.
Lesi sivumelwano siphinde sivule indlela yokuba ezinye izifundazwe zithole izindinganiso ezifanayo zaseCalifornia ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuthi imithetho izogcinwa yini enkantolo, kusho uSteven Cliff, isikhulu esiphezulu seCalifornia Air Resources Board.Lokho kusho ukuthi amaloli amaningi kuzwelonke azoyilandela le mithetho.UCliff uthe cishe u-60% wamamayela ezimoto zamaloli ahanjwe eCalifornia aqhamuka emalolini afika evela kwezinye izifundazwe."Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kubeka inkundla yohlaka lukazwelonke lwamaloli akhipha i-zero," kusho uCliff.“Kuwumthetho oqinile waseCalifornia kuphela, noma umthetho kazwelonke oqinile kancane.Sisawina esimeni sikazwelonke.”
Lesi sivumelwano sihlanganisa abakhiqizi bamaloli abakhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, okuhlanganisa iCummins Inc., iDaimler Truck North America, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, Hino Motors Limited Inc, Isuzu Technical Center of American Inc., Navistar Inc, Paccar Inc. , iStellantis NV, neVolvo Group North America.Lesi sivumelwano sihlanganisa neNhlangano Yokukhiqiza Amaloli Nenjini.
"Lesi sivumelwano senza kube nesiqiniseko sokulawula sonke esikudingayo ukuze silungiselele ikusasa elizofaka amanani akhuphuka njalo obuchwepheshe obungakhiqizi umoya ophansi futhi obungama-zero," kusho uMichael Noonan, umqondisi wezitifiketi zomkhiqizo nokuhambisana ne-Navistar.
Amaloli athwala kanzima njengemishini emikhulu namabhasi asebenzisa izinjini zikadizili, ezinamandla kakhulu kunezinjini zikaphethiloli kodwa futhi zikhiqiza ukungcola okukhulu kakhulu.I-California inamaloli amaningi athwala impahla eya futhi esuka emachwebeni ase-Los Angeles naseLong Beach, amachweba amabili amatasa kakhulu emhlabeni.
Nakuba lamaloli enza u-3% wezimoto emgwaqeni, ahlanganisa ngaphezu kwengxenye yama-nitrogen oxides kanye nokungcoliswa kahle kwezinhlayiyana zikadizili, ngokusho kwebhodi laseCalifornia Air Resources.Kube nomthelela omkhulu emadolobheni ase-California.Emadolobheni aphezulu ayi-10 angcoliswe i-ozone e-US, ayisithupha aseCalifornia, ngokusho kwe-American Lung Association.
UMariela Ruacho, umphathi wezokumela umoya ohlanzekile we-American Lung Association, uthe lesi sivumelwano "siyizindaba ezinhle" ezikhombisa ukuthi "iCalifornia ingumholi uma kukhulunywa ngendawo ehlanzekile." Kodwa uRuacho uthe ufuna ukwazi ukuthi isivumelwano sizoshintsha kanjani izilinganiso izinzuzo zezempilo kubantu baseCalifornia.Abalawuli bemithetho abamukelwe ngo-Ephreli bahlanganisa imali elinganiselwa ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-26.6 zamaRandi ekongeni ukunakekelwa kwezempilo ekuhlaselweni okumbalwa kwesifuba somoya, ukuvakashelwa ezindlini zezimo eziphuthumayo nezinye izifo zokuphefumula.
"Sifuna ngempela ukubona ukuhlaziya ukuthi uma kukhona ukulahleka kwe-emission kungaba yini nokuthi lokho kusho ukuthini ngezinzuzo zezempilo," kusho yena.UCliff uthe abalawuli basebenzela ukuvuselela lezo zilinganiso zezempilo.Kodwa waphawula ukuthi lezo zilinganiso zazisekelwe ekuvimbeleni ukuthengiswa kwamaloli amasha asebenzisa igesi ngo-2036 - umthetho osasebenza.“Sithola zonke izinzuzo ebezingaba khona,” esho."Empeleni siyakuvalela lokho."
I-California ifinyelele izivumelwano ezifanayo esikhathini esidlule.Ngo-2019, abakhiqizi bezimoto abakhulu abane bavuma ukuqinisa izindinganiso zemayela legesi kanye nokukhishwa kwegesi ebamba ukushisa.
