Izindaba - Ngenxa yokukhathazeka ngamanani entengo, ukunikezwa kwezimoto zaseMelika kuyehla

Detroit — Inani lezimoto ezintsha nezisetshenzisiwe e-United States lehla ngokushesha njengoba abathengi begijima beya ezimotweni ngaphambi kokwenyuka kwentengo okungase kuhambisane nentela, ngokusho kwabadayisi bezimoto kanye nabahlaziyi bemboni.
Inani lezinsuku zokulethwa kwezimoto ezintsha, elibalwa ngesilinganiso sansuku zonke esilinganiselwe, lehle laya ezinsukwini ezingu-70 kule nyanga lisuka kwezingu-91 ekuqaleni kukaMashi, ngokusho kwe-Cox Automotive. Le nkampani ithe ukunikezwa kwezimoto ezisetshenzisiwe okuphansi kakade ngosuku ngezinsuku ezingu-4 kuya kwezingu-39.
“Abathengi bazama ukudlula intela yokungenisa impahla,” kusho isazi sezomnotho esikhulu se-Cox uJonathan Smoke ngoLwesibili ngesikhathi sokubuyekezwa ku-inthanethi. Ukwehla kwenani lezinsuku kungenye yezinkulu kakhulu esizibonile eminyakeni eminingana.”
Uma kuqhathaniswa nemakethe evamile, lapho ukuguquguquka kokunikezwa kwempahla kuphakathi kwezinsuku ezinhlanu kuya kweziyisikhombisa ngenyanga, kusho uCox.
Ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angama-22 kusukela ngonyaka odlule ngesisekelo esilungisiwe ngokwezinkathi zonyaka kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwayi-8 kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka, kusho uSmoke. UCox ulinganisele ukuthi ukuthengiswa emakethe esetshenzisiwe "kuzokhuphuka kakhulu," njengoba ukuthengiswa konyaka kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayi-7 uma kuqhathaniswa no-2024.
Ukwanda kokuthengisa kuyizindaba ezinhle embonini yezimoto, lapho abahlaziyi abaningi babelindele khona kulo nyaka. Kodwa kunokwesaba ukuthi uma isitokwe sezimoto ezingenayo intela siphela, ukuthengisa kungase kume.
Inkampani yokubonisana ngezimoto ibikezela ukuthi izindleko eziphezulu zokukhiqiza, izingxenye kanye nezinye izici zizonciphisa ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha e-US naseCanada ngamayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezimbili ngonyaka, ngenxa yokwenyuka kwezindleko kanye nokwenyuka kwamanani okuhlobene.
Amasheya ezinkampani zezimoto akhuphuke ngemuva kokuthi uTrump ethe ufuna "ukusiza" abanye abakhiqizi bezimoto. Izindleko zezimoto zikaTrump ezingama-2%, esezisebenza kakade, kulindeleke ukuthi zinciphise ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ngezimoto eziyizigidi eziningana futhi zibize amaRandi ayizigidigidi eziyi-100. Izimoto zaseCanada ezingama-25% sezisebenza kakade. Abahlaziyi bakholelwa ukuthi yize abakhiqizi bezimoto nabaphakeli bengase bakwazi ukwamukela okunye kokwenyuka kwezindleko, balindele nokuthi badlulisele ukwenyuka kwezindleko kubathengi base-US, okungase kubangele ukulahleka futhi kunciphise ukuthengisa.
Abakhiqizi abaningi bezimoto bakha uhlu lwezimoto namaloli angenisiwe ngaphambi kokuba uMengameli uDonald Trump abeke u-25% ezimotweni ezingenisiwe ngo-Ephreli 3. Kodwa abanye bashintshe ukungenisa kwabo, bapaka izimoto emachwebeni noma bamisa ukungeniswa kwazo ngokuphelele, njengeJaguar Land Rover.
I-General Motors ibilokhu ikhulisa umkhiqizo e-US, okuhlanganisa nokwandisa imboni yase-Indiana ethatha ama-pickup kanye nokukhansela ukumiswa komkhiqizo okuhleliwe ngenyanga ezayo embonini eTennessee.
URyan Rohrman, i-CEO yeRohrman Automotive Group ese-Indiana, uthe ngesonto eledlule ukuthi ukuqala kuka-Ephreli “kwakuqale kahle kakhulu” okuzobonisa ukuthi kokubili amanani entengo kanye nokuthengwa kwezimpahla ngokwesaba kanye nempahla kuthuthukile kunalokho okwakunjalo eminyakeni yamuva.
“Empeleni ibhizinisi liqinile impela njengamanje,” kusho uRollman, oneqembu lakhe elinezindawo ezingama-franchise ezingu-22. “UMashi ube muhle, futhi awuzange wehle.”
Abakhiqizi bezimoto iFord Motor kanye neStellantis, inkampani engumzali weChrysler, babona amanani entengo njengethuba lokunciphisa isitokwe esihlinzeka amakhasimende ngamadili "amanani abasebenzi".
UNick Anderson, umphathi jikelele womthengisi weFord eMissouri, uthe izaphulelo ezihlukile kanye nokukhathazeka ngokuthi amanani angase akhuphuke maduze ngenxa yentela kwenza abathengi abakhathalela kakhulu amanani beze endaweni yakhe yokudayisa. Lokho kuhle ekuthengiseni kodwa kunomthelela omubi enzuzweni enkulu yesitolo.
“Sisebenza kanzima ukuze sifinyelele noma sidlule ngonyaka odlule,” kusho yena. “Abantu abaningi esibabonayo bazwela kakhulu intengo. Ukuthengiswa kwamayunithi kusekhona, kodwa isamba sethu sehle. Kumane nje uhlobo oluhlukile lwamakhasimende.”
U-Anderson uthe unethemba ngokuthengisa kulo nyaka kodwa “kuncike kakhulu ekutheni amanani entengo azobonakala kanjani ezinsukwini ezingu-60 kuya kwezingu-90 ezizayo.”
UTrump uthe ngoMsombuluko ufuna "usizo kwezinye zezinkampani zezimoto," kodwa akazange achaze ukuthi lokho kungasho ukuthini.
USihlalo weStellantis uJohn Elkann uveze “isikhuthazo” sakhe emhlanganweni waminyaka yonke wabakhiqizi bezimoto ephendula ukuphawula kukaTrump, ephawula ukuthi intela engu-25% ezimotweni ezingenisiwe kanye nemithetho eqinile yokukhishwa kwegesi eYurophu kubeke izimakethe ezimbili zezimoto engcupheni.”
