Kāore mātou i whakaaro mō tētahi wā, ka noho ko ngā kupu Toyota Land Cruiser me te hiko hei upoko kōrero, engari anei mātou. Hei whakanui ake i te kino, he pūrongo mana tēnei nā Toyota, ahakoa he pūrongo ā-rohe nō Land Down Under.
I panuitia e Toyota Ahitereiria te hononga ki a BHP Billiton, te kamupene rauemi matua o Ahitereiria, hei whakahaere i ngā whakamātautau whakamātautau o ngā waka hiko kua whakarerekētia. Ae, kei roto i tēnei whakarerekētanga te raupapa Land Cruiser 70. He iti noa te whakamātautau, ā, kotahi anake te tauira tahuritanga ka mahi i roto i te maina.
Nā te tari whakamahere me te whanaketanga hua a Toyota Motor Australia i te Tauranga o Melbourne i huri te raupapa Land Cruiser 70 kotahi-kāpene hei waka hiko. Ka taea te whakamahi i te BEV matua kua whakarerekētia i roto i ngā maina raro whenua. I whakahaerehia te whakamātautau i te maina BHP Nickel West i Te Tai Hauāuru o Ahitereiria.
Ki te hiahia koe ki te mōhio he aha te kaupapa o tēnei hononga, e tumanako ana a Toyota Austalia me BHP ki te tūhura atu i te whakaiti i ngā tukunga i roto i tā rātou waka iti. Mō ngā tau 20 kua pahure ake nei, kua mau tonu te hononga kaha o ngā kamupene e rua, ā, e whakaponohia ana ka whakapakari te kaupapa i te hononga i waenganui i a rātou, ka whakaatu hoki me pēhea e taea ai e rātou te mahi tahi ki te "huri i te heke mai."
He mea tika kia whakahuatia ko ngā hōiho matua i ngā wāhi maha o te ao e peia ana e te tīhiera. Mēnā ka angitu tēnei whakamātautau, ko te tikanga kua kitea te whai huatanga o te waka hiko whenua hei hōiho matua keri. Ka whakaitihia te whakamahinga o te tīhiera, te hinu horihori, te hinu whakawhirinaki ki te āwhina. Hei whakatutuki i te whāinga waenga-wā a te kamupene kia whakaitihia ngā tukunga mahi mā te 30% i te tau 2030.
Ko te tumanako ka riro mai i a Toyota Motor Australia ētahi atu kōrero mō ngā hua o te whakamātautau iti nei, ā, mā tēnei pea ka whakatakoto huarahi mō te whakaurunga o ngā waka hiko ki roto i te kahui ratonga keri o te motu.
