the surprises i was shoving and i'm ready to dive into the hands of the gentleman who to us. you have you have a window. of course we've got a response on the on expected side to side on the table when you're driving a film car, it's like a little vacation from daily life. you feel special? the media is getting my files and then where is the automotive market growing as fast as in the world's most populous country? well, the industry seems to be determined here. it goes looking very effective as

a comma c, just the number goes to 4000000 cause now a u l, which is which is quite high. it could be the view china in the 20 sweats east. so it's not about making money in the next year. it's about making money in the next 20 to 30 years, and that's why you have to go to in general. how important is india for the gym and automotive industry? now for the deal for the gains to do political backdrop with us, one thing i'm needing to diversify. india is a country that we simply con, signal and diminish for by from the automotive markets in india, a promising but also difficult and highly complex to rate.

so that you will not be successful. so be catholic. when you go there could be a role that the german come in for just play. and yet my advice would be to, to really go in the direction of the elected cause and try to position themselves as a leader in the 2nd thing, india, they will take the plunge because uh, you know, uh the racing and has just started. and this could be one of the big the markets of the world in the future. i'm sure, with the choice of, uh, the life for an up. so dylan manufacture that'd be great. jobs in the market is not just the population growing faust in india. the more than 1400000000 people need solutions for daily transportation and comp. production is key to this more calls and now being built in india than germany of to china and japan. the country is one of the world's largest comp produces volkswagen, for example, has been trying to become a play in the indian market for over 2 decades and has its own production

facilities. but the germans still not fall behind to market lead them a routine suzuki and some korean and indian companies in sales only around $50000.00 sco does and $40000.00 v definitely use a sold in india every year for the columns. and now being we shuffled in india is car industry. one reason is the in some cases dramatic environmental damage and appellation in the country. this is also forcing comp offices like the head of indian market, lead them a routine suzuki, to rethink their approach in response to the emission noms that'd be government as described going forward. i think there seems to be a good sense is that the long term electric vehicles will be mainstream starting a very impressed by the speed of transformation in india. and that makes us optimistic that transformation to e mobility can also really take off in india and this time of the reason,

the indian automotive industry assessing a new course is geo political changes. the european union in particular, is keeping close track of how india is relationship with china is changing the rail a little bit. always you true of looking to east and west. but now the recognize that china is really playing hot game geopolitically also specifically regarding the south china sea and to i was in the last year and i felt that they are no more open to negotiate with you and was united states. it's no one to volkswagen. he's also making another attempt to find success in india, the germans, and now launching a co operation with indian call may come a hand truck. we will supply our electric drive and battery sell technology to our colleagues in india that has benefits. of course,

we have additional scale. so we achieve more volume. the new world drives on volume and benefits from the economies of scale that we bring to the technology. and i think it's good not to put all your eggs in one basket. in other words, most everything is focused on the chinese markets. gem and comic has said about 40 percent of the vehicles to china. companies like vw has played a role in the countries transition from bicycles to cost and made a hefty profits in the process. but india is not china, according to how much sort of g one of india is most important. automotive generalist luxury gone market in china is huge. in india, it's, you know, out on 4050000 casa yard. so i was volumes that concentrated at the lower end of the market, which have very small margins, very difficult for companies to make money over that. so if you look at the german common effect, just being particularly strong in selling large luxury type of the cause,

it is not really the market that they feel comfortable with. i think kind of small cars with lower margins have traditionally been more challenging for us here. at the and manufacturers and there which is again the topic of small cause. the ones from the routine, suzuki has dominated india as roads over 40 years. and 1981 depends, suzuki founded a joint venture with india's mer routine which became the country's largest call. making its vehicles of almost single handedly made india mo bile they invested a lot of time and money to get into this country. that was not a foster lane waste. really good basic reason for uh, being market needed for such a long time is of uh, obsession with customers. so all our processes, our systems, our products, everything is designed to the customer because are very suitable for it and,

and customize that efficient dad. you have any fuel efficient, the cost of ownership is very, very low. they're ready to live a good resale value. it can be fixed anywhere in the country. so really, you know, it's just the way the volkswagen beetle was the thing then in the art of, you know, after the ease of my own life on the india new volkswagen, locals. a know when near as successful as the beetle was lengthening the wind, german calls and not so well received by indians is best explained by shaw shank tree. bust of uh, the head different a routine visit the some of the products which have been introduced by the, by the, you know, be, and manufacturers here. uh, the uh, audit mismatch of the requirement. but because jewelers these are drawn support in

the products which, where they're designed for other countries, and then basic history is about the a success in other places. and you can't really draw support all your systems audio, the thinking again, you know, 100 percent into in your area which could be totally different. and in game that sense is gemini, is actually call industry missing. the mock is the indian market. since 2010 volkswagen has been selling the po that but the perennial vw favorites, a worldwide success has been pleading money in india. this'll quote good. that's not really book yet. so because every market, every, every client group has its own specific needs. yeah. but volkswagen also seems to

be not in permit setbacks. the company known the india to point a project in 2021 full models designed exclusively for the indian market. this go to push back, go to slide the dw tie goon ton vw versus a sending like takes even a lot of the car for the and getting uh conditions which is uh, especially with the sedan given focus on the seat. 3 seat is quite important in india. ground appearance is very important in india. and all these factors have been taken care of. in the and also my teeth market is in a state about people e mobility and the desire for more luxury. we are increasingly influencing comp production and 11 to hold more and more. s u v. 's have recently been rolling of the production line at lewis's in t is okay, but for pianos knows the indian custom up better than any other car manufacturer. and that's why the 1st electric com to reach, he says you can't, don't king and the country is also an s easy yeah. so you

do need it to be e s, or most expensive, and yes, for the size it will be expensive before the customer drag and there's no point. you know, if the supermarket is not 50 percent and you keep making this smaller, i did all of their time may not desire to may not be warning done. so reserves with a mocking to just 3 or 4 years back, almost 50 percent was a how just because a small gosh. and i remember about 1015 years back, i just made up almost 6065 percent of the market. so it's been changing. even if not everyone is cracking open. champaign, the standard of living in india is rising, or at least the design of some whole people's state. the more money is the more money to spend. they will move up towards the automotive chain right from entry level because they will go to middle class and those a number of luxury vehicles will grow. and i think these up thoughts, trent,

this is something which really plays into the cards of flight to the hands of uh for a manufacturer, has to have quality products to provide good with video technological advance people's gem and come manufacturers would certainly not be the lose is in the transformation that indian society is currently undergoing the popular corporate indians, which used to love to save earlier. now they want to spend their lives, they only have one life and they need to enjoy it. so there's a shift and even mindset of the indian consumer, and then we live in an instagram age. so everyone wants to, you know, have the same ad digitally as well. so they buy cars as a way to show the show office to come. another thing, fortunately, is made in gemini, still come on special attention in india. i'm typing in in as the opening

a gem. and the product is actually a very, very powerful state to civil pat this, this and this factors are established comma is growing very mercedes, b, m, w, all the stuff that god saves the highest a. what am days be my kind of problem. know how to invest this frontier. we can only hope that we will move away from this election. we version of a gym and call it and move more more towards the mid range. and the mid range vehicles will also be successful in on the inside and current app. so i've got folks, i sent a lot so tom on you fight to is a working on that. so it doesn't um that on the i buy from the hash style out. even if sales have election, we cause have increasing the segments didn't accounts for no more than one percent of the total market in india. after all the gym and luxury car exposure to india is

3 times more expensive than in germany. a complex system says customs duties in texas a foreign cause according to vehicle class. it also takes into account that proportion of indian results is used in manufacturing. the european union is currently scrambling to reach a free trade agreement with india so that you're being charged for really a fat chance on the low in the market. the have got this is joyce alice, we've heard there's definitely move partner association. asthma is now clearly in favor of a free trade agreement with it. yeah, you know, and also in favor of tariff assembling. that's a good thing. but of course, indian manufacturers and even japanese manufacturers investing in india don't want to surrender that high tariffs so easily released on salary. so i'm yeah, cabled indian prime minister and a venture emoji has been skilfully steering india's economic policy for use customer as an end at the same time, conservative and traditional in one hand,

they want to protect the growing industry by uh, let's say a heavy so it and the 2nd trade um on prevalence it says drum good deal. but the import terrace here on the other hand, they also look like the door even basement, to the shore, sierra and every government in such a situation need to find the right balance between free and the market and a proper protection of the, of the growing industry behind market need in the routine suzuki indian companies tasa and the hinge and making up more and more ground manufacturers the to very committed to and let try my benefits but india is still heavily reliant on external health when it comes to battery production. that's why prime minister moody has been in close contact with test levels, you know, months for years the to and now negotiating intensively once again of the optimal

conditions for the american e. com, manufacturer on the easy and most just as a convention is that, you know, they want to test the market. they want to be competitive. and they know they want to, they will eventually start manufacturing, cause u. s. lies up. is the 1st of july of the world and everyone wants test um, and it would be a great statement for the indian government to have that slot, bring a manufacturing set up over here. and. busy we understand it will be for a low cost model which is below the model, $3.00 rides. now, another ambitious project by chinese, the cost competitive b, y d has ended. however, it wants you to invest $1000000000.00 us dollars for the production of e, cause and batteries in india, but the indian government stops the factory for being built. it's no points against that. this has happened after uh, there was a big border ask,

i'll make sure our board on site read. the shortages on both sides lost their lives, you know, the worst we've had and say, and they named within 50 us. so tensions between india and china have been very high because of issues at our borders. so this obviously has had an impact on uh, you know, lets say chinese companies investing as an economic dispute between 2 giants in the country with the democratic constitution and china, which is increasingly turning into an autocratic dictatorship team. yeah. has recognized that you politically the situation has changed. it was a valid live, it all varies neutral. but now the recognize that china is really playing hot game geopolitically in india, which is growing as a play it and opening up to the global markets. now the big opportunity for europe in call make the,

this been added image in the world doesn't revolve around to europe. and india is increasingly self confident because they know they're an attractive market for many, many countries. and that was the oh, they're saying, well, things can go on like they are. the interests of the global south must be given much, much greater consideration, backup of assisted bad. and the only thing we need to understand the big parents. yeah. i don't believe that just because they're not getting on so well with china now that they'll run into our. um so okay, so, so based on the team that does it and then one for the volkswagen group is clearly not waiting for the indians to come running into it sounds together with it's in the in putnam a hindrance, it's simply getting to look and produce gutter need is just a supply at age, but, but that is stock or going for that or maybe doing some enjoying product development. and i think a,

what we've heard and we broke into story actually that is a discussion between score now and mind. which court are taking the lead for the it may be $21.00 gene which is the low cost. um i the platform for india. so there's a new, let's a low cost of a smaller i the platform coming in that volkswagen and score dot active, launching it in there. they would id like a collaboration with the my hands that make sense. europe has long been waiting for the 1st to low cost gym and electric call that's truly affordable for everyone. will it go into series production that my interest in the, into the visas you potentially selling india right? or the signing manufacturing? yes, they could be effective for other markets to not turn this route to some market with a 1000000000 people. and i found to have an impact on europe. so it's, i'm hunting them, but i'll smoke and have a whole present combined for laws against

all to achieve the impossible for some journey. even the sky east. india is taking off. non gem and companies are hoping to be right in the city of things. i'm sure uh with the choice of, uh, the united products uh, cost. uh it'd be, you know, dylan manufacturer, that'd be great jobs and in a month it'd be, have great respect for them. i mean, it's a great down in the engineering expertise, but the engine to be do the excellence in terms of the bus manship and so on the line from germany and vehicle we will be back on the i'm the with the increased the collaboration to jump it sounds like an invitation to jem and call make has to try

that luck in india, a great adventure weight smoke, so i couldn't bmw mercedes with a lot today with one so a lot to lose the congested. the streets are effective life and shooting is the capital of chain is yeah. and that means lots of pollution decisions center is teeming with delivery vehicles. if they will sell the pallet and policy would be vastly improved. a gem and juniors and starts out taking notes and as manufacturing. so that's how it 3 wheelers. there's no need for charging stations because the vehicles have panels on the roof, which was a 3 wheeler because of the way that was very efficient. and the they don't consume

a lot of energy and the weight is very long. and we the, if the weight is very light and we have very small, multiple, really small index of multiple of 1500 watts. uh, if you put $500.00 to upon is it fit together? it's an ideal solution to add non lose. who has a wholesale business. he's for one of the vehicles and has calculated that he's saving the equivalent of about 150 years in fuel expenses among the the key thing if i the, with the electric image and also mean and this is very easy. i knew quite and you know, there's no reading or new oil change. yeah. almost nothing that needs service thing is in the engine is robust. very good quality of this to the can you think the gem and she knew the install shop has sold a 146. so that's how it's vehicles in june india and is now coming to open branches

in saudi arabia and then lagos, nigeria, hopefully they'll soon be helping reduce pollution, just to say all here in genus. the mounting hans mission in life is to resurrect cars. that broke film or tv history and put them back into action. he pushes his replica of kit to its limits. just like david hassle hosted in the night rider tv series found he takes his original dodge ice charger for a spin near his home town of golf and shaun lower austria. true to its name, the car even cut a few good figures on ice and the 8th part of the fast and furious movies series. it took marching hon. about 4 years working by hand to replicate them. that will be all. it's hard to spot any difference to the jet turbine powered vehicles that

overtook every villain in the batman movies of 1989. when you're driving a film car, it's like a little vacation from daily life. i thought you feel special. everybody looks at you and you smell a bit like a superstar in the car. so i'm in the mount. the mounting hans daily routine involves working as an insurance agent. he's been collecting film cars since 2006. sometimes he finds the originals, but often he recreates them himself. like is made version of kit complete with the super pursuit mode. familiar to fans of the tv show. after working on a car like this for years and investing so much time and money, it's a priceless experience. when you take a seat in the complete car. very high level michael is travelling at excessive speed. his kid may not talk like the one on t v did, but it looks virtually identical. it took him several years to transform

a pontiac firebird trans them into the night industries. 2015 color, seen all the parts are handmade or do i bent and welded all the metals best. the hardest part about duplicating the car was always making the parts to scale. if you, i think it was uh you can get any construction plans is good off. all i had to go on were screenshots from the series stand, freeze frames, rulers and excel tables to calculate the measurements up at the car. that was it. as you see at the pond has recreated a 1000 movie, cars and steel, and 10 from popular movies and tv shows adding more every year. he's got the full support of his family for projects that are always experiments. also challenges taking on something new and overcoming new, limited email. everyone asks me if i've got a plan, how i proceed. i tell them no plan. so can i just take a piece of metal and a welding, torch of flex, predict, and see what comes up as

a welcome to what comes of it? our faithful reproductions, especially of cars that wrote film and t. v. history in the 1980s, like the cadillac from the cult, classic ghostbusters that carried the intrepid heroes out on calls with all due haste. tons all the, all these are the cars from my childhood to me, but now that i built the automotive highlights of my childhood, i think on specializing and more contemporary car thoughts so it gets paid. so let's see if he's currently working on his versions of the rust, the tow truck character, tow meter and the race car lightning mcqueen. from the animated movie, cars, best friends with human personality launching hon. hammers, mechanical life, and to the fictional models. i've got 2 little boys, 2 and 4 years old, and they're total lightning. mcqueen and cars vans. my kids don't have an emotional

connection to my other movie cars. i'd like the boys to develop a passion for cars. and that's why i'm building this one. that is all to get bought . most of my teen homes, recreations aren't allowed on public roads, bought his movie, cars do bring a little piece of hollywood to rural ha street and more automotive tales next time on risk, the, the, the
