Zimbalwa izinto ezilindeleke ngomdla kunelori yeposi. Nokuba ngamatyala, iintengiso, okanye ipakethe nje evela kumntu omthandayo, umthuthi weposi uhlala ebonakala ezisa into enika umdla. Kodwa ifika ngabani ixesha ilori yeposi? Kwaye unokwenza ntoni ukuba ulinde iphakheji ebalulekileyo kwaye ayibonakali ngexesha? Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufumane.
Uninzi lwabantu luyayazi ukuba imeyile idla ngokusiwa kube kanye ngemini, ngesiqhelo ekuseni. Nangona kunjalo, ubusazi ukuba kukho ifestile yexesha apho imeyile yakho iyakuthunyelwa? NgokweNkonzo yePosi yase-US, ungalindela ngokubanzi ukuba imeyile yakho iziswe naphi na phakathi kwe-7 AM kunye ne-8 PM (ixesha lasekuhlaleni). Ngokuqinisekileyo, oku kunokwahluka ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lweimeyile ezithunyelwayo kunye nendlela yomphathi weposi. Umzekelo, iipakethe zinokuziswa kamva emini, ngelixa iileta kunye namatyala aqhele ukusiwa kwangethuba. Ke ukuba ulindele isigidimi esibalulekileyo, qiniseka ukuba uyayijonga ibhokisi yeposi ngaxa lithile phakathi kwentsimbi yesi-7 AM kunye nentsimbi yesi-8 PM (ixesha lasekuhlaleni) ukuqinisekisa ukuba awuyiphosi.

Zingahamba kangakanani iilori zokuposa?
Iilori zemeyile azakhelwanga isantya. Izithuthi ezenziwe ngebhokisi zixhotyiswe ngeenjini ezinkulu zedizili ezilungiselelwe ukunika amandla amaninzi okuthutha imithwalo enzima. Nangona kunjalo, oku kukwathetha ukuba iilori zeposi aziwongi kakhulu amafutha kwaye zinokucotha kuhola wendlela. Isantya esiphezulu esiphakathi kwilori yeposi siphakathi kwama-60 nama-65 mph. Nangona kunjalo, abanye abaqhubi baye batyhala iilori zabo kumda kwaye bavala ngesantya esingaphezu kwe-100 mph. Esona santya sikhawulezayo sirekhodwe kwilori yeposi yi-108 mph, esaphunyezwa ngumqhubi wase-Ohio owayezama ukwenza umhla wokugqibela oqinileyo. Ngelixa ezi zantya zinokuba nomtsalane, azikho mthethweni kwaye ziyingozi kakhulu. Abaqhubi abagqithisa kwisantya esimiselweyo babeka bona kunye nabanye emngciphekweni wokwenzakala kakhulu okanye ukufa.
Kutheni iilori zeposi ziqhuba ngasekunene?
Kukho izizathu ezimbalwa zokuba kutheni iilori zeposi eUnited States drive kwicala lasekunene lendlela. Isizathu sokuqala kukusebenziseka. Ukuqhuba kwicala lasekunene kwenza kube lula kubathuthi beposi ukufikelela kwiibhokisi zeposi ezisecaleni kwendlela. Oku kubaluleke ngakumbi kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni, apho iibhokisi zeposi zihlala zikude endleleni. Ukongeza, ukuqondisa okusekunene kuvumela abathwali besixeko ukuba baphume kwilori ngaphandle kokunyathela kwitrafikhi. Isizathu sesibini sinento yokwenza nembali. Xa iUSPS yasekwayo ngo-1775, uninzi lweendlela zelizwe zazingagangathwanga kwaye zicuthene kakhulu. Ukuqhuba kwicala lasekunene kwendlela kwenza kube lula kubathuthi beposi ukuphepha ukugcwala okuzayo baze bahlale belungelelene ngoxa beqhuba kwiindawo ezimagqagala. Namhlanje, uninzi lweendlela zaseUnited States zigangathiwe kwaye zibanzi ngokwaneleyo ukuba zikwazi ukuthwala abantu ababini. Nangona kunjalo, i-USPS iye yagcina isiko layo lokuqhuba kwicala lasekunene ukuphepha ukudideka kunye nokugcina inqanaba lenkonzo ehambelanayo kwilizwe lonke.
Ingaba iilori zemeyile zijeep?
IJeep yoqobo eyayisetyenziselwa ukuhambisa iposi yayiyiWillys Jeep, eyaveliswa ngo-1941 ukuya ku-1945. IJeep ye-Willys yayincinci kwaye ilula, ilungele ukuqhuba ngaphandle kwendlela. Nangona kunjalo, yayingekho ntofontofo okanye iphangalele. Yayingenasifudumezi, nto leyo eyayisenza kube nzima ukuhambisa imeyile kwimozulu ebandayo. Ngo-1987, i-United States Post Service (USPS) yatshintsha i-Willys Jeep yaza yafaka i-Grumman LLV. I-Grumman LLV yi-imeyile eyakhelwe-njongo ilori enkulu kwaye ikhululekile ngakumbi kuneWillys Jeep. Ikwanayo nesifudumezi, esilungele ukuhanjiswa kwemozulu ebandayo. Nangona kunjalo, iGrumman LLV isondela esiphelweni somjikelo wobomi bayo, kwaye i-USPS okwangoku ivavanya iimoto ezitshintshwayo. Ke, ngelixa iilori zeposi zisenokungabi ziJeeps, zinokuphinda zibuye kungekudala.
Yeyiphi injini enazo iilori zeposi?
Ilori yeposi ye-USPS yiGrumman LLV, kwaye inenjini eyi-2.5-litre eyaziwa ngokuba yi "Iron Duke." Kamva, injini ye-2.2-litre yafakwa kwi-LLV. Zombini ii-injini zeza zidityaniswe nesantya esithathu sosasazo oluzenzekelayo. Inkonzo yeposi isebenzise i-LLV iminyaka emininzi, kwaye sisithuthi esithembekileyo nesomeleleyo. Akukho zinguqu zinkulu zicetywayo kwi-LLV kungekudala, ke injini yangoku iya kuqhubeka isetyenziswa kangangexesha elithile elizayo.

Isithuthi siya kuveliswa kwisityalo esitsha esakhiwa yi-Oshkosh Corporation. I-NGDV yokuqala kulindeleke ukuba ihanjiswe ngo-2023, kwaye ixabiso lekhontrakthi lilonke lifikelela kwi-6 yeebhiliyoni zeedola.
Ngaba iilori zemeyile ziyi-4wd?
Iposi isebenzisa iintlobo ngeentlobo zezithuthi ukuhambisa iposi, kodwa olona hlobo luxhaphakileyo lulori lweposi. Ezi lori azikho 4wd. Ziqhuba ngasemva. Oku kungenxa yokuba iilori ze-4wd zibiza kakhulu, kwaye ukuzisebenzisa akuyi kuba yindleko ephantsi kwiposi. Ukongeza, iilori ze-4wd zinemiba emininzi yokuxinga kwikhephu kwaye zifuna ukulungiswa okungaphezulu kuneelori eziqhuba ngamavili angasemva. I-ofisi yeposi ifumanise ukuba iilori eziqhuba ngasemva zithembeke ngakumbi kwaye ziqhuba kakuhle kwikhephu njengelori ze-4wd, zibenza babe lolona khetho lungcono lokuhanjiswa kweposi.
Ingaba iilori zemeyile ziyincwadana?
