Wee Ka Siong Persoal Perodua Axia E Tiada ABS, ESC

Mantan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, telah mempersoalkan ketiadaan ciri keselamatan penting seperti ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) dan ESC (Electronic Stability Control) pada model Perodua Axia E yang dilancarkan baru-baru ini.

Pelancaran Perodua Axia E mendapat reaksi pelbagai dikalangan rakyat Malaysia ekoran didatangkan dengan harga asas serendah RM22,000. Harga tersebut menjadikan Axia E model paling murah ditawarkan pengeluar kereta nasional di Malaysia setakat ini.

Namun begitu, Perodua Axia varian E itu kekurangan beberapa ciri keselamatan penting seperti ABS dan ESC sekaligus mencuri perhatian ramai pihak termasuk mantan Menteri Pengankutan itu.

“Walaupun kenderaan mampu milik ditawarkan dengan harga serendah RM22,000, namun ia perlulah dilengkapi Sistem Brek Anti-Kunci (ABS) atau Anti-Lock Braking System dan kawalan kestabilan elektronik (ESC) demi keselamatan pengguna dan orang ramai,” ujarnya dalam perkongsian tersebut.

Tambahnya, pengeluar tidak seharusnya berkompromi aspek keselamatan dalam usaha untuk menawarkan harga ‘rahmah’.

“Janganlah kita berkompromi apabila ia menyentuh soal keselamatan pemandu, penumpang termasuk pengguna jalan raya yang lain.

“Spesifikasi tertentu seperti ABS, ESC dan Agihan Brek Elektronik – EBD (subsistem kepada ABS dan ESC) tidak boleh diketepikan sama sekali hanya kerana mahu menjadikan kenderaan tersebut sebagai ‘kereta rahmah’,” jelasnya.

Dalam pada itu, memetik laporan rakan media, Careta, mendapati Perodua Axia E itu diklasifikasikan sebagai Axia keluaran 2014. Oleh demikian, tiada keperluan untuk mengikut homologasi terkini Kementerian Pengangkutan yang memerlukan ciri ABS dan ESC sebagai alatan standard yang ditetapkan pada 2020.

KYMCO RevoNEX To Feature ABS System, Patent Reveals

Taiwan motorcycle manufacturer, Kymco has dropped the company’s latest patent drawings of the highly anticipated RevoNEX electric motorcycle.

The latest leak confirms the bike’s ABS.
The previous patent leaked shows that the RevoNEX will feature Ohlins suspensions and Brembo brakes.

Kymco has been known as a scooter-maker, with the Ionex i-One as the most recent product introduced by the company.

While the company builds its scooter range in Taiwan, production for the upcoming RevoNEX will be done in Italy.

However, the bike has yet to enter production after more than two years.

Nevertheless, the latest patent leaks have confirmed that the geared electric motorcycle is indeed on its way, and this time it tells us that the RevoNEX will feature an ABS.

We know from the previous leaks that the RevoNEX will feature Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes, but thanks to the latest report by Super Moto 8, it is confirmed that those brakes will feature ABS.

The ABS will be positioned at the front of the bike and sits above the electric motor and in front of the battery.

Although the patent drawings did not show a gearbox, the report suggests it will appear on the final drawings later.

Currently, Kymco is still keeping mum about the official launch date but looking at how the progress is moving at a steady pace; we think it might take a couple of years before we could see it in production.

Wajib ABS Pada Motosikal 150cc Ke Atas Akan Dikuat Kuasa

Kerajaan Malaysia sedang pertimbang cadangan mewajibkan fungsi Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) pada motosikal 150cc ke atas.

Perkara itu dimaklumkan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.

Menurut beliau, penguatkuasaan sistem ABS itu akan diperincikan sebaik pihak Institut Penyelidikan Keselamatan Jalan Raya Malaysia (MIROS) selesai membuat kajian.

MIROS telah diberikan tempoh enam bulan bagi menyempurnakan kajian tersebut sebelum pelaksanaan dikuat kuasakan dalam tempoh dua tahun daripada tarikh keputusan kajian dikeluarkan.

Tambah Wee Ka Siong, kajian tersebut adalah menyeluruh dan membabitkan semua pihak termasuk industri pengeluar motosikal dan wakil pengguna.

“Ini bermaksud kita ada tempoh transisi ynag kita boleh benarkan. Mana-mana pembuat atau pengilang yang sudah bersiap siaga tidak ada masalah, boleh teruskan.

“Kalau mereka yang masih ada masalah, dia boleh gunakan tempoh diberikan untuk melakukan. Kita akan lihat keberkesanan apabila dipasang pada mereka penunggang motosikal lebih 150cc seterusnya kita akan melihat ke bawah,

” jelasnya.

Berdasarkan kajian yang dijalankan MIROS setakat ini, kehadiran sistem ABS pad motosikal mampu mengurangkan peratusan kemalangan dan kematian penunggang motosikal sehingga 30 peratus

ABS merupakan sistem yang membantu dalam menghalang motosikal daripada tergelincir dan hilang kawalan terutamanya sewaktu brek mengejut.
