ʻO Jim Rowan ka Luna Nui hou o Volvo, ʻo ia ka Luna Nui o Dyson, ua kamaʻilio me ka Luna Hoʻoponopono o Automotive News Europe, ʻo Douglas A. Bolduc. ʻO ka hālāwai ninaninau "Meet the Boss" i wehewehe ʻo Rowan he mea kākoʻo paʻa no nā kaʻa uila. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, inā loaʻa iā ia ke ala, ʻo ka XC90 SUV hou aʻe, a i ʻole kāna mea pani, e hōʻoia ʻia ʻo Volvo ma ke ʻano he "hui kaʻa electrified hanauna hou."
Ua kākau ʻo Automotive News e hōʻailona ana ka mokuahi uila e hiki mai ana o Volvo i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka neʻe ʻana no ka mea hana kaʻa i lilo i mea hana kaʻa uila wale nō. Wahi a Rowan, e uku ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kaʻa uila piha. Eia kekahi, manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo ia ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea hana kaʻa e lawe i ko lākou manawa me ka hoʻololi, ua loaʻa iā Tesla ka kūleʻa nui, no laila ʻaʻohe kumu e hiki ʻole ai iā Volvo ke hahai.
Hōʻike ʻo Rowan ʻo ka luʻu nui loa ʻo ia ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana he mea hana kaʻa uila wale nō ʻo Volvo, a ʻo ka SUV hae nui e manaʻo nei ka hui e hōʻike koke aku ʻo ia kekahi o nā kī nui e hana ai i kēlā.
Hoʻolālā ʻo Volvo e hana wale i nā kaʻa uila a me nā SUV e 2030. Eia naʻe, i mea e hiki ai i kēlā wahi, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i ka pahuhopu o 2025 ma ke ʻano he hapalua. ʻO ia ke ʻano he nui nā mea e pono ai i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana mai ka hana ʻana o Volvo i ka hapa nui o nā kaʻa i hoʻohana ʻia. Hāʻawi ia i ka nui o nā kaʻa uila hybrid plug-in (PHEVs), akā ua kaupalena ʻia kāna mau hana uila.
Manaʻo ʻo Rowan hiki iā Volvo ke hoʻokō i kāna mau pahuhopu, ʻoiai ua maopopo ʻo ia ʻo kēlā me kēia hoʻoholo a ka hui e hana ai mai kēia manawa e pono e hana ʻia me nā pahuhopu mau i ka noʻonoʻo. Pono nā hoʻolimalima a pau a me nā hoʻopukapuka kālā āpau e kuhikuhi i ka misionari uila wale nō a ka mea hana kaʻa.
ʻOiai ʻo nā mea hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū e like me Mercedes e koi ana ʻaʻole e mākaukau ʻo US no ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka uila i ka makahiki 2030, ʻike ʻo Rowan i nā hōʻailona he nui e kuhikuhi ana i ka ʻaoʻao. Hōʻike ʻo ia i ke kākoʻo no nā EV ma ka pae aupuni a ʻōlelo hou ua hōʻoia ʻo Tesla he hiki.
No ʻEulopa, ʻaʻohe kānalua e pili ana i ka ikaika a me ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka noi no nā kaʻa uila uila (BEV), a ua nui nā mea hana kaʻa i hoʻohana pono i kēia no nā makahiki. ʻIke ʻo Rowan i ka hoʻololi ʻana ma ʻEulopa a me ka ulu hou ʻana o ka māhele EV i ka US, he mau hōʻailona maopopo e hoʻomaka ana kahi hoʻololi honua.
Hoʻohui ka Luna Nui hou ʻaʻole kēia e pili ana i ka poʻe makemake i kahi EV e hoʻopakele i ke kaiapuni. Akā, aia ka manaʻolana me kekahi ʻenehana hou e hoʻomaikaʻi a hoʻomāmā i ke ola o nā kānaka. ʻIke ʻo ia ʻo ia ka hanauna hou o nā kaʻa ma mua o nā kaʻa uila wale nō no ke ʻano o nā kaʻa uila. Ua haʻi ʻo Rowan:
"Ke kamaʻilio nei ka poʻe e pili ana i ka electrification, ʻo ia ka piko o ka hau hau. ʻAe, ʻo nā mea kūʻai aku e kūʻai i kaʻa uila ke ʻimi nei lākou e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni, akā ke manaʻo nei lākou e loaʻa i kēlā kiʻekiʻe o ka pilina, kahi ʻōnaehana infotainment i hoʻonui ʻia a me kahi pūʻulu holoʻokoʻa e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona hou aʻe a me nā hana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rowan, no ka loaʻa ʻana o Volvo i ka kūleʻa maoli me nā EV, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hana wale i nā kaʻa nani a nui ka laulā, me nā helu palekana a me ka hilinaʻi maikaʻi. Akā, pono ka brand e ʻimi i kēlā mau "hua Easter liʻiliʻi" a hana i kahi mea "Wow" e pili ana i kāna mau huahana e hiki mai ana.
Ke kamaʻilio pū nei ka CEO Volvo e pili ana i ka hemahema o kēia manawa. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ma muli o ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā kaʻa ʻokoʻa i nā ʻāpana like ʻole a me nā mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe, paʻakikī ke wānana pehea e pāʻani ai. Eia nō naʻe, ua lilo ka hopohopo i ke kaulahao i mea kaua mau no nā mea hana kaʻa, ʻoiai ma waena o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19 a me ka hoʻouka ʻana o Rūsia iā Ukraine.
No ka nānā ʻana i ka nīnauele holoʻokoʻa, e hahai i ka loulou kumu ma lalo nei. Ke heluhelu ʻoe iā ia, e waiho iā mākou i kāu mau mea lawe ma kā mākou ʻāpana manaʻo.
