Amabhayisikili athwala impahla angakwazi ukuletha izimpahla emadolobheni ngokushesha kunamaveni, asuse amathani esisi esibamba ukushisa futhi adambise isiminyaminya ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngokocwaningo olusha olwenziwe yinhlangano esiza ngesimo sezulu i-Possible kanye ne-Active Travel Academy yase-University of Westminster.
Usuku ngemva kosuku olunzima emadolobheni asemhlabeni wonke, amaveni okuthutha ayanyakaza futhi abhoboze emigwaqweni yamadolobha emhlabeni wonke eletha amaphasela ngemva kwephasela.Ukukhiphela ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni endaweni ezungezile, ukugcwala kwethrafikhi ngokupaka lapha, lapho, futhi yonke indawo okuhlanganisa, masibhekane nakho, ngaphezu kwemizila embalwa yamabhayisikili.

Ucwaningo olusha e-UK lukhombisa ukusetshenziswa okumangalisayo kwamabhayisikili ezimpahla njengemodeli entsha yokulethwa kwamadolobha.
Lolu cwaningo lunesihloko esithi The Promise of Low Carbon Freight.Iqhathanisa ukulethwa ngokusebenzisa idatha ye-GPS esuka emizileni ethathwe amabhayisikili ezimpahla e-Pedal Me maphakathi ne-London kuya kumaveni okulethwa endabuko.

Ngokombiko, kunamaveni angu-213,100 okuthi uma epakwe ngaphandle, athathe indawo engu-2,557,200 square metres yendawo yomgwaqo.
“Sithola ukuthi insizakalo eyenziwa ama-Pedal Me wezimpahla cycles isivinini esiphindwe izikhathi ezingu-1.61 kunaleyo eyenziwa yiveni,” kufundeka lolu cwaningo.
Uma amaphesenti angu-10 okulethwa kwamaveni endabuko ebengathathelwa indawo amabhayisikili athwala impahla azophambukisa amathani angu-133,300 e-CO2 kanye no-190.4 kg we-NOx ngonyaka, ingasaphathwa eyokuncishiswa kwethrafikhi kanye nokukhulula indawo yomphakathi.

“Njengoba izilinganiso zakamuva ezivela e-Europe ziphakamisa ukuthi kuze kufike ku-51% walo lonke uhambo lwempahla emadolobheni kungashintshwa amabhayisikili ezimpahla, kuyamangaza ukubona ukuthi, uma nje ingxenye yalolu shintsho ingenzeka eLondon, izohambisana akugcini nje ngokuncishiswa okukhulu kokukhishwa kwe-CO2 kodwa futhi kunomthelela ekwehlisweni okukhulu kwezingozi ezibangelwa ukungcoliswa komoya kanye nokushayisana kwezimoto emgwaqeni kuyilapho kuqinisekiswa uhlelo lwempahla oluhamba kahle, olusheshayo noluthembekile lwasemadolobheni,” kusho u-Ersilia Verlinghieri, umcwaningi ophezulu e-Active Travel Academy.
Ezinsukwini ezingama-98 nje zocwaningo, i-Pedal Me yaphambukisa i-3,896 Kg ye-CO2, ikwenza kucace ukuthi amabhayisikili ezimpahla ahlinzeka ngenzuzo enkulu yesimo sezulu kuyilapho ngesikhathi esifanayo efakazela ukuthi amakhasimende angahlinzekwa kahle uma kungenjalo kangcono kunemodeli evamile.
"Siphetha ngezinye izincomo ezibalulekile zokweseka ukwanda kwempahla yamabhayisikili e-London kanye nokwenza ngcono imigwaqo yethu kwabaningi abasadonsa kanzima ukuyisebenzisa ngokuphepha," kuphetha umbiko.
