Kusukela ngo-1885, lapho uWilhelm Maybach noGottlieb Daimler bakha isithuthuthu sokuqala eJalimane, lezi zimoto ezinamasondo amabili ziye zahamba ibanga elide kakhulu. Yayivame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-reitwagen, imoto egibele ngokuhunyushwa kanzima, enenjini enamandla angu-0.5 amahhashi kanye nesivinini esiphezulu samakhilomitha angu-11 ngehora.
Ngo-1899, isithuthuthu sokuqala sokukhiqiza senziwa ngu-Hildebrand no-Wolfmuller futhi sasinenjini engama-cylinder amabili ehambisa amandla angu-2.5 amahhashi. Lona ubehamba phambili ngesivinini esingamakhilomitha angama-45 ngehora. Uma ziqhathaniswa nalezo zinhlobo zokuqala, izithuthuthu namuhla zingamahhashi ensimbi anamandla ngempela.
Eminyakeni engu-132 edlule, imboni yezithuthuthu ikhule ukuze ikhonze isixuku esihluke kakhulu sabathandi bokugibela. Nazi ezinye izinto okungenzeka ukuthi ubungazazi ngalo mkhakha.
California
Isifunda saseCalifornia sinokuthengiswa kwezithuthuthu okuphezulu kakhulu ku-78,610 okungama-13.7% wesamba sokuthengiswa kwezithuthuthu e-United States. ICali ilandelwa yiFlorida enezithuthuthu ezintsha ezingu-41,720, bese iTexas ilandela ezingu-41,420. Nakuba kusekhaya uhambo lwebhayisikili lwaminyaka yonke e-Sturgis, iSouth Dakota ithengise kuphela izithuthuthu ezintsha ezingu-2,620 ngo-2015.
I-California isahamba phambili kuzo zonke izifundazwe ekuthengisweni kwezithuthuthu ezintsha. Nokho, lokhu kungenxa yokuthi yisona sifundazwe esinabantu abaningi kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, ukuthengiswa kwayo kumelela amabhayisikili angu-2.9 ngezakhamuzi eziyi-100, okungaphansi kwesilinganiso sikazwelonke sezithuthuthu ezingu-3.2 ngezakhamuzi eziyi-100.
I-Wyoming ithola amabhayisikili angu-7.0 kubantu abayi-100. Ngakho-ke, empeleni kunezithuthuthu ezimbalwa empumalanga, njengoba iningi limaphakathi nentshonalanga.
Ukufaka izimonyo kumabhayisikili
Ngo-2014, amaphesenti angu-14 abanikazi bezithuthuthu e-United States kwakungabesifazane, okukhuphuke kusuka ku-6% ngo-1990, no-10% ngo-2009. Harley idonsa kanzima ngenxa yokuthi isibalo sabesilisa abaneminyaka ephakathi, okwakungamakhasimende ayo, sehlile sisuka ku-94% ngowezi-2009 saya ku-86% ngowezi-2014.
Ukuze ubhekane nesimo esisha, umenzi wethule izindlela ze-Street 500 ne-750, kuyilapho i-Polaris iqhamuke namamodeli we-Scout kanye ne-Scout Sixty, ukuze ahehe abagibeli abasha emakethe futhi agcine ukuthengisa kukhula. Ngokusho kwedatha ye-IHS Automotive, i-Harley-Davidson inesabelo esingu-60.2% sabagibeli besifazane.
Imakethe iyakhula
Uma kuqhathaniswa no-1990, lapho iminyaka ephakathi yomnikazi webhayisikili evamile yayingu-32, ngo-2009, yafika ku-40. Manje, isilinganiso sineminyaka engu-47 ubudala. Noma ukuthengiswa kwe-Harley bekulokhu kwehla eminyakeni edlule, ukuthengiswa kwayo kusagcina isabelo esingu-55.1% sabantu besilisa abangama-35+.
Ukwehla kwabagibeli abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18 yikhona okukhathaza kakhulu abakhiqizi, njengoba kwehle kusukela ngo-1990 kusuka ku-8% kuya ku-2%. Abathengi abasebangeni eliphakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 nengama-24 behle besuka ku-16% baya ku-6%. Ngokusobala, imboni yezithuthuthu iyakhula. Ngenxa yalokhu, kuqubuka umbuzo wokuthi bazovelaphi abathengi uma imboni ingasakwazi ukuheha abantu abasha?
Ufundile futhi ucebile
Izinto zishintshe kakhulu emashumini eminyaka adlule. Cishe amaphesenti angu-72 abanikazi bezithuthuthu namuhla, e-United States, baneziqu ezithile zasekolishi noma imfundo ephakeme. Cishe bonke nabo bayasebenza, futhi cishe u-15% wabo usuthathe umhlalaphansi.
Futhi, kubonakala sengathi ukuba umshayeli wezithuthuthu sekuwumsebenzi obizayo. Cishe u-24% wemindeni yabanikazi bamabhayisikili izuze phakathi kuka-$50,000 no-$74,999 ngo-2014. Cishe u-65% walezi zithole okungenani u-$50,000. Ngo-2014, imali engenayo yasendlini yabanikazi bezithuthuthu yayingama- $ 62,200.
Umgwaqo omkhulu uza kuqala
U-74% wawo wonke amabhayisikili amasha adayiswa e-United States ngo-2015 kwakuyizithuthuthu ezihamba emgwaqweni omkhulu. Izithuthuthu eziyizigidi ezingu-8.4 ezabhaliswa e-United States ngo-2014 zazingaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kunani kusukela ngo-1990. Eqinisweni, lezi zimoto ezinamasondo amabili zimelela u-3% wengqikithi yokubhaliswa kwezimoto e-US.
Imboni ebalulekile yawo wonke umuntu
Uma kukhulunywa ngomnotho waseMelika, imboni yezithuthuthu idlala indima enkulu. Empeleni inikele ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-24.1 ngenani lezomnotho ngesevisi, ukuthengisa, izimali zamalayisense, nezintela ezikhokhiwe, ngo-2015. Ngaphezu kwalokho, iqashe abantu abangaphezu kuka-81,567.
Ezinye izimboni
Ezinye izinkampani ziyahlomula nasembonini yezithuthuthu. Umuntu ohamba ngebhayisikili ngeke nje athenge imoto, kodwa futhi nengubo yokuzivikela, isigqoko sokuzivikela, amagilavu, amabhuzu, igiya lokuvikela, nezinye izesekeli ezihlukahlukene. Ngakho-ke, kunezinkampani eziningi ezikhiqizayo ezikhiqiza futhi zithengise amagiya ahlukahlukene wezithuthuthu nezingubo ezinezinombolo ezinhle zokuthengisa.
Kunjalo, abanye abakhiqizi bezithuthuthu nabo badalela amakhasimende abo izesekeli. Noma kunjalo, akuwona wonke umgibeli ofuna ukuchitha imali eningi kulezi zinto. Ukuthenga enkampanini eyaziwa kakhulu kungasho nokuthi kuzodingeka ukhokhe imali eyengeziwe ngenxa yomkhiqizo.
Ngenhlanhla, imakethe inothe kakhulu uma kuziwa emishinini yezithuthuthu nezesekeli, ngakho-ke kunezinketho eziningi ongakhetha kuzo.
Isibonelo, lesi sihloko siqukethe uhlu lwabalinganiselwe phezulu ama-alamu athengekayo. Lapha, ungathola amamodeli anconywe kakhulu, ukucaciswa, kanye nokubuyekezwa kwamakhasimende. Ngeke ube nenkinga yokuthola izinto ezifanele izidingo zakho kanye nesabelomali sakho.
