Ko Ahitereiria te mākete nui rawa atu mō ngā Toyota Land Cruisers. Ahakoa kei te tumanako mātou ki te raupapa 300 hou kua tukuna, kei te hoko tonu a Ahitereiria i ngā tauira raupapa 70 hou i roto i te ahua o ngā SUV me ngā taraka pikau. Nā te mea i te mutunga o te hanga o te FJ40, i wehea te raina hanga ki ngā huarahi e rua. Kua whiwhi te Hononga o Amerika i ngā tauira nui ake, ā, he pai ake, he pai ake hoki, i ētahi atu mākete pērā i a Ūropi, te Middle East me Ahitereiria, kei reira tonu ngā waka 70-raupapa māmā, pakari hoki.
I te whanaketanga o te hiko me te noho mai o te raupapa 70, kei te mahi tahi tētahi kamupene ko VivoPower te ingoa me Toyota i te motu, ā, kua hainatia he reta whainga (LOI), "i waenganui i a VivoPower me Toyota Ahitereiria. Waihangahia he mahere mahi tahi hei whakamahi hiko i ngā waka Toyota Land Cruiser mā te whakamahi i ngā kete whakawhiti i hangaia, i hangaia hoki e te apiti waka hiko katoa a VivoPower, a Tembo e-LV BV."
He rite te reta whakamana ki te whakaaetanga tuatahi, e whakatakoto ana i ngā tikanga mō te hoko taonga me ngā ratonga. Ka tutuki te whakaaetanga ratonga matua i muri i te whiriwhiringa i waenganui i ngā rōpū e rua. I kī a VivoPower, ki te pai ngā mea katoa i runga i te mahere, ka noho te kamupene hei kaiwhakarato pūnaha hiko motuhake a Toyota Ahitereiria i roto i ngā tau e rima, me te kōwhiringa ki te whakaroa ake mō ngā tau e rua.
I mea atu a Kevin Chin, te Heamana Whakahaere me te Tumu Whakarae o VivoPower: "E tino harikoa ana mātou ki te mahi tahi me Toyota Motor Australia, he wāhanga o te kaihanga taputapu taketake nui rawa atu o te ao, e whakamahi ana i tā mātou kete whakawhiti Tembo hei whakahiko i ā rātou waka Land Cruiser. "E whakaatu ana tēnei hononga i te kaha o te hangarau a Tembo ki te tango waro i te kawe waka i roto i ētahi o ngā ahumahi tino uaua ki te tango waro. Ko te mea nui ake, ko tō mātou kaha ki te arotau i ngā hua Tembo me te tuku atu ki te ao. He whai wāhitanga nui tēnei mō te maha atu o ngā kiritaki. Te ao."
I te tau 2018, i riro i te kamupene pūngao tauwhiro a VivoPower tētahi hea whakahaere i roto i te tohunga waka hiko a Tembo e-LV, ā, nā tēnei i taea ai tēnei whakawhitiwhitinga. He māmā noa te mārama he aha i hiahia ai ngā kamupene keri ki ngā waka hiko. Kāore e taea te kawe i ngā tāngata me ngā taonga ki roto i tētahi kauhanga e tuku ana i te hau putanga katoa. I kī a Tembo mā te huri ki te hiko ka taea hoki te penapena moni me te whakaiti i te haruru.
Kua whakapā atu mātou ki a VivoPower kia mōhio ai mātou ki ngā āhuatanga ka kitea pea e mātou e pā ana ki te whānuitanga me te mana, ā, ka whakahōu mātou ina tae mai he whakautu. I tēnei wā, kei te whakarerekē anō hoki a Tembo i tētahi atu taraka mārō Toyota Hilux mō ngā waka hiko.
