Ua ʻae ʻo Holden he makahiki paʻakikī kēia

Ua wehewehe ʻo Holden Chairman Mike Devereux i nā mahina he 18 i hala iho nei ʻo "ka mea paʻakikī loa i ka mōʻaukala."

No ka manawa mua, ua hōʻike ka luna hoʻomalu a me ka luna hoʻomalu o Holden, ʻo Mike Devereux, i ka ʻeha o ka pilikia kālā o ka honua a me ke ʻano o ka "poʻo maoli i ka pō" i hoʻopau ai i ka ʻaelike hoʻokuʻu koʻikoʻi o Holden no 50,000 Pontiac G8 kaʻa.

"ʻO nā mahina he 18 i hala aku nei ka mea paʻakikī loa i ka mōʻaukala," wahi āna.

Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hele kahaha kāna hui.

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, e hoʻopuka ka hui i ka loaʻa kālā he mau miliona kālā no 2010, ʻo kāna helu maikaʻi makahiki mua i loko o ʻelima mau makahiki.

Ua hoʻihoʻi ʻo ia i kāna mau limahana i ka hana manawa piha ma hope o ka papahana kaʻana like. Ua hoʻohui hou ʻo ia i nā limahana 165 i kāna hale hana ʻo Adelaide, a ʻoi aku paha inā e hoʻokō ʻo Holden i kahi ʻaelike nui me nā kaʻa mākaʻi US.

No kēlā me kēia ʻāina ʻē aʻe e hana ana ma Australia, ʻelima o kāna mau limahana ma nā huakaʻi ʻoihana honua i nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua GM.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Holden i kahi ʻoihana kālā e hana i ka wahie ethanol mai ka ʻōpala o ke kūlanakauhale, e hoʻonui ana i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona wahie ʻē aʻe, a e hoʻokuʻu i 18 mau hiʻohiʻona hou a i ʻole i hōʻano hou ʻia i loko o 10 mahina.

ʻO ke kī i ka huli ʻana ʻo ia ka hana a Holden i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i nā kaʻa hou.

"E nānā i ke kaʻa a lākou i koho ai e overclock i ke kūʻai ʻana i ke ao i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai ʻo GM i ka mahina i hala - ʻo Chevrolet Camaro," wahi a Devereaux.

"ʻO ke kaʻa muscle ʻAmelika maʻamau a me ka hero o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni e like me Transformers. ʻO ka kaʻa i hoʻolālā ʻia a hana ʻia e ka hui (Holden), hoʻāʻo ʻia ma Lang Lang a kūkulu ʻia ma Oshawa, Ontario, Kanada.

"Welcome i ka GM hou, kahi o nā kaʻa ʻAmelika i aloha nui ʻia i nā manawa āpau e hiki ke hoʻolālā a kūkulu ʻia e nā lālā ʻelua o ka Commonwealth - a hiki iā lākou ke hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe o ka honua. Hoʻolālā ʻia ka kaʻa All-American ma Australia a kūkulu ʻia ma Kanada."

Wahi a Devereaux, ʻo ko Holden hiki ke hoʻololi i ka niche a me nā pono o ka mākeke honua i alakaʻi iā ia e noi e hana i ka Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV). Hoʻopau iki kēia i ka ʻeha o ka nalowale ʻana o ka polokalamu Pontiac G8.

"Aia ʻo Chevrolet ma waena o kahi papahana hoʻāʻo 20-kūlanakauhale," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia no nā hiʻohiʻona hoʻokolohua lōʻihi-wheelbase i kūkulu ʻia ma Australia a hoʻouna ʻia i ka US. “ʻElima o 20 mau kūlanakauhale i hoʻopau ʻia. ʻIke mākou he huahana maikaʻi kā mākou ... a manaʻo mākou i nā hopena i ka hapaha mua. "

Ma ke ʻano like, kūkulu ʻo Holden i nā kaʻa hoʻokele no nā mākaʻi o ʻeiwa mau mokuʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika i komo i loko o ka makana no ka mana "detective" o ka Caprice. Hoʻomaka ka hana ʻana i ka mahina aʻe.

"I kēia manawa, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hōʻike i ka helu o nā kauoha i ka ʻōnaehana, akā ke hilinaʻi nei mākou e hoʻomau ka nui o nā kauoha i ka makahiki hou," wahi a Devereux.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ka ʻoihana e like me ka mea hoʻopuka i nā kumuwaiwai kanaka a me nā lako polokalamu e like me nā lako kaʻa.

Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻike ʻia he alakaʻi i nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa hope, ʻōlelo ʻo Devereux e hana ana ʻo Holden no ka wā e hiki mai ana.

"ʻO EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) ka ʻike kosmic a Holden e pili ana i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka halihali kūlanakauhale, i hōʻike ʻia ma ka Expo o kēia makahiki ma Shanghai," wahi āna.

"He kaʻa kaʻa uila holoʻokoʻa kēia, ʻelua huila, zero-emission i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia o ke kūlanakauhale nui e like me ke kaʻa kaʻa, ka loaʻa kaʻa a me ka maikaʻi o ka ea. Ua hōʻike ʻo EN-V i nā mana hoʻolālā ʻokiʻoki o nā mea hoʻolālā automotive Australia, akā ua hōʻike pū ʻia ʻo Holden e hoʻolālā ana i ka lumi hōʻikeʻike o ka wā e hiki mai ana a aia kekahi mea no kēlā me kēia mea i kēia lumi hōʻike.
