of the supply chain process, all of that massive illegal leather stats may stood on d, w, the 3rd, everything from your phone, headphones on computer, to wind turbines and batteries, the power electric cars on scooters, graphs, the despite the name, then not some sony mosque, but comprised 17 crystalline heavy metal elements found in rock deposits. read us are a precious commodity for high tech societies. with most of that production currently controlled by china. start us and say tional discovery in sweden, braces the possibility of them being binds add to also in this edition have made some extra costs. china is challenged to europe.

hey, across the tests. how safe is your package to a jet fund? digital twin has a new life for a factory in india. some port lapland, and the arctic circle is home to huge expenses of pristine nature and also to deposits of route are precious raw materials that i've seen a rapid growth in demand from industrialized nations. drilling teams at a range of locations are collecting rock samples from the ground down below. the operation is being funded by swedish mining company l. k, a b, which anticipates a new gold rush. the team here is currently still busy identifying and analyzing the potential sites before those to as it's our mind sometime in the future. the

kind spokesman is also on hand to inspect proceedings. we are stealing branding and cannot see where it ends. we haven't billed the deeper than 2000 meters from the surface and we have found more than 700000000 tons of iron ore and sun mom. point 3000000 tons of rarer oxide. so it's a very good deposits and we think that we have explored perhaps a quarter of it so far. they've literally found new end to the rear earth deposits to the they're taking your samples from a depth of 7900 meters down. the operation is made international headlines due to the discovery of the 1st known rare earth deposits in europe. this device records the depth of the relevant site to within a centimeter. in total, the teams are taking several 1000 samples which are catalogued by depth

geologist, sean. usually he takes away the samples for further analysis and the live he's one of a 5 strong team working there on shift. the geologist, hail from a variety of countries showing drinking himself is french. the sample analysis stage conducted prior to the development of the site will cost the mining company many millions of bureaus. i can go and scratch the rocks and see so this, this part is really hard. i need to, to press and press harder. and this the here itself there now, so it gives me, gives me information. um, uh, what kind of narrow it could be. the material samples are actually 50 percent iron or, and to have a rear or its contents of just

a 0.2 percent. they also contain significant levels of phosphate, which will later be sold to fertilizer producers. so this as a bonus, we get one mining the ion, or that's the main idea while we're operations, once we get that this particular ordinance here is as a byproduct. as a bonus, china is dominating the market. but this deposit the patio deposit is the biggest report, bad, bad profit in europe. so his has very big importance for the sense the efficiency of the you all the critical enrollment here, the rear or it's would then be extracted from material mind from newly created tunnels belonging to the neighboring mind. without rare or it's we'd have no screens or displays no magnets for wind turbines, no electric cars, and indeed, no green energy transition. but the plan

certainly have their critics to every year the indigenous semi people drive their reindeer, several 100 kilometers from east to west. and back again, in addition to the pollution, the mine would block the animals trail says one rain gear farmer. they want to open up more mines and that's really, i guess, totally destroyed the the rain to heard in this district in this area. and this saw me released and you can say we can move to the south, we can move to the north. we are stuck in the south. a spokeswoman for the semi community association points out those obstacles from craters and a new compromise to lakes full of mine, water, railroad tracks and highways

the traditional grazing areas for each semi klan measure around 80 by a 100 kilometers the new mind, right in the middle would block all of the animals routes? well, it would be at the end for a traditional lorraine, they're hurting in, in my community and the community of god, not the it would that i have a, a deep impact on our culture and our future. so what does the spokesman for the mining company have to say? it is quite narrow for right, and they're hard to bring the rain there is pass kid or not from the mountain as we ask where they are during the summer. it's down to the forest there we us in the winter time, we want to find on suicides, through shows in dialogue with the summer village, the river, or it's been meet those migration routes amount to at least 8 times annual global

consumption and mining the resources. so close to home would reduce europe's dependency on china and russia for supplies. i mean growing global's engines in europe, the new portion tie con to but west will set you back to 130000 euros. mercedes h u. s. cost almost a $110000.00 on the audi q for each one, just the $53000.00 b w use id 3 starts at around $37000.00 euros. and those prices for jim and electric cars are all with no extra features included. to pricey finch showing these models are an option, but all the competitive performance wise to in crash tested cars made by china, b, y d have performed just as well as their european bibles right now

there's a growing backlog of b y, the cars and the german port of frame are often due to insufficient demand, but having sold more electric cars than anyone else in the last quarter of 2023, the car maker is not putting the brakes on its expansion strategy across germany, new b y, the show rooms are popping up like this one in berlin for most customers, it's their 1st look at the chinese vehicles. they're used to driving a vw, mercedes or a rental. for our curious to check out both the design and engineering of models 5 of millions of 10 ton. and also if you before you get the nice feel very comfortable, i'm good name is, it's the mood age. it's been that you felt the workmanship as comp. it's a great brand, the total mind. it's a perfect fit for us as a family. yeah, it's kind of cool. so for medium or small, perfect. right. they seem very similar to the europeans, but are they as well constructed?

we'll have to see, but i'm sure they'll have put in a lot of effort. a mom, the show room manager is a no doubt that the cars will find plenty of fires. d y d makes its own batteries as well as crucial chip components in its own factories. a lot of potential buyers are surprised by the high quality of materials and a fine german standards. generous array of cart header attainment upfront prices for a b y d model. here start at 29000 bureaus b y, but also has to look at how comfortable competitors are faring and not overdue things are you see the seal as a direct drive on the test lot and it's entry level price is just the low tesla models. v y d explorer ships can transport up to 7000 for the electric cars. the company is planning to dispatch further 8 of them con the route to europe, with an eye on conquering the huge market here the,

on its domestic market, b, y, the out sales us arrival test slot. at electric cars become the subject of a brutal price for production capacities for huge bonds a minute not to still call for the modern another night shift or continue production all weekend. and china could easily be turning out $50000000.00 cars a year. but interestingly, domestic demand only $23000000.00 means a difference of $0.27. demand is at 14000000 europe, 13 to me on so china has built capacity. so a norm is that they could cover the entire world, a figures like that have prompted the you to consider introducing punitive tariffs due to b, y, these excessive states subsidies. one possible way of stomach, the tide of chinese ease, anticipating those tariffs. the might be as intending to build a factory in the u on this patch of countryside in southern hungry. but the 1st

digging will be by archaeologists roman era artifact stating back more than 2000 years to been found here. for centuries, the area was used as pastor land for grazing callous. that discovery could mean serious delays for construction work. but d y d expect it's cars to be rolling off the line here next year. so will the project have to be halted? that is sufficient and that contributor, it's not in our interest. and of course we don't plan to do that. we're working closely with other institutions that are carrying out archaeological work and with investors so that we can do our job and they can do. there is with a minimum of interruptions. hungry is a popular spring board for chinese companies in europe. budapest is home to one of the biggest chinese communities on the continent, and soon thousands of workers are expected to arrive from china to build the new z

y the factory. this could also see part of china is surveillance system coming to hungary. which would mean china gaining access to hungary, on camera surveillance networks. the 2 countries have now signed a security package on gary and police could soon start to be accompanied on st. patrols in budapest side, chinese security personnel, the leader of the opposition and the hungarian parliament. fears that the arrival of b y d will have adverse side effects. the i don't think the old to do this, the same social credit system that works in china. but even if they bring in the camera system and the facial recognition system, that is something that could be, could be very much used by a autocratic government. b y d is confident of selling the bees on the european market. but it could also mean the import of more than just the chinese electric

cars. so what is your response to chinese export sprint? how about working hand in hand and collaborating? don't you develop vehicle platforms, power trains, batteries, and driver assists with safe comic is huge research outlays and make the input of the cheapest, as already seen, and the end of the tech stuff to pricing for the global market. european electric vehicle makers are under pressure. i can see the point coming very quickly, you know, 2030 i think is really the critical moment for this industry. if i'm not prepared by then is too much time for europe to take back the initiative to this european joint venture. be a model to follow. air bus has production, split up across a number of nations with the plants all working in close coordination with each

other. it's a concept that secured the future of europe to aircraft manufacturing industry. does europe car sector now need a similar move to an air bus moment? well, there are few in industries been talking about a range of different solutions. right now have been floating. the idea of kind of a con strickland today of us were able to get together and produces this assume of that sort of vehicle. the trouble is that already there's been a huge amount of investment and a big investment pipeline coming in on batteries and relate to technologies and the study much stuff to discuss it across to your of it should amongst different manufacturers. there are over 120 car factories in europe, turning out models for numerous manufacturers and a myriad of models and make a set up that is proves very profitable. so far. the i'm saying i'll be interested in how to makers have been making various attempts to develop their own individual

solutions. but there are now a range of major issues that require solutions very soon was a portable book, which is actually on lose a one phone bad motion as theirs inside connectivity and digitalization, mathnasium dis, altos, one of the next hour to an evaluation to got to a line, so even for a traditionally successful con maker, that's a huge task and one that's better solved through joint project based. so done in these dimensions pull yeah. can on this quote parts to understand which means cooperation. but how would that work for? no, and mercedes have set the precedent with the tween go in for door smart models, sharing the same technical platform, which is a little surprised when you look at them. then it's even companies doing joint ventures involving identical vehicle platforms and also means a challenge for that model to stay sufficiently distinct and not become interchangeable. image also, spotswood bad brand image and awareness are priceless for companies. although also

a big hurdle for closer cooperation. but growing costs, the pressure is mean they have few alternatives. we're going to have to state some fundamental sharing of engineering not on a piecemeal based. it's not between per show and run of overdoing volkswagen and ford. but for the industry. in other words, an air bus moment. the idea here is to lower costs and maintain competitiveness by developing a joint car construction platform. it is a long road ahead. however, arriving at that sort of compromise is extremely difficult. something has to get somebody has to be prepared to allow losses in their own manufacturing losses in their own production versus losses in that countries where some of these vehicles are being produced. because we cannot sustain the existing capacity on this existing fragmentation of the industry. for very much longer,

that kind of collaboration is still a long way off in the meantime, but he was launched an entry dumping investigation into those unwelcome competitors from china. aircraft of themselves been in the news recently due to doors disappearing, mid flight on computer malfunctions, almost causing a crash. all they still a safe way to travel. the problems have mostly been due to pull her to assembly with the individual components being put through pretty rigorous testing for the name of the passenger's safety. just how much stress kind of the airplane would stand. have you ever ask yourself this question when your flight runs into severe turbulence? the wings of this add the skin bend flat to 5.2 meters.

so the well equipped to hold up against the strongest gust of wind. an airplane can also fly with just one engine, provided it can keep the plane flying at 250 kilometers per hour. and preliminary tests airframe pods need to withstand as much wear and tear as they do over the aircraft this entire lifetime. that's often more than a $100000.00 flights kinda cloud of was a spray sold, the truck sanctions one of a range of tests before a plane is declared elworthy aircraft to construct it to meet safety requirements but not to over fill. fill them stick a fuselage is for example,

add extra weight and therefore increase fuel consumption. don't be alarmed or start twitching your seats here. vertical. take off site, this prove just how much all planes can be and emergency situations. well, the boeing did this just to show the maintenance the technicians always keep an eye on the plane windows because they're a natural weak spot in at craft the riskiest parts of a flight all take off on landing to make them safer. tests are conducted to determine the optimum speeds to ease your mind, just remember when it comes to vital instruments like the altitude, indicate that an aircraft always has more than one plus, while several 100 people die and plane crashes every yeah, the sun show that more people are killed on their way to the airport pop,

something to bear in mind the next time you encounter inside the turbulence is know when now safe from the intrusion of robots. they work in fine to raise with us or each other and can also support the human co workers via virtual reality headsets. and now there's another news. i mentioned computer technology that enables factories and products to get digital twins, thousands of miles away. sounds 13, stay tuned. the almost 50 years old. this evening's factory was in danger of being shut down before being saved by digital tweeting technology that replicates products or processing launch here in the indian city of cottonwood 10 years ago. it's proved to be

a game changer. the head of seaman's indian operations is proud of his team's success story. so we thought, let's apply the digital technologies that we are talking about to our own manufacturing strategies here, uninsured. we went from 80 variance on 3 production lines to a $180.00 variants on one production, like in addition to saving money, it's also help to make production faster from 21 seconds per part. 4th, to change down to just 9 2nd. back in germany, around half the population of this small town book said, bush effects hold this plant in law. a mind makes hydraulic components. and just like in india, the digital tweeting technology can have a massive impact on operational processes. and so the industrial sector is a model for us as bush wrecks wrote. a digital twin is made for each product. and of course,

we also have applications in the automotive area where we also create twins for both the vehicle and the parts supplied on to the dominant. all think it's on, it's getting a few to start talking about 50, so really couldn't tie that from automakers to engineering companies. firms are finding digital twins indispensible. the new technology already has its own industry association based in germany, to promote it on the international market. the springs, different german and your opinion industry spend the association and committee work . and the development of standards means we have a pioneering role. we have a growing number of members, especially in connection with the digital twins that includes japan and south korea where they're taking a closer look at what german industry is doing in this area. and some device in co was siemens has a production site, a large number of programmers, and also its own training center. new recruits, learn how machines can support their work or potentially even do with themselves.

but the trainees see the set up not as a threat, but as the next step in industry, with prospects for them to this is the, i'm 59 in the colbert labradoodle. what's the difference between the school board and what is cool? looking to collaborate with human, very easy and roll work needs. it's individualized, best to us. it's. it has a 3 button and it's an more do from which you can reduce the time of programming drastically into that. i want to work with the, with those companies will walk thoughts, mark, manufacturing, digitalization and digital india. still eager to learn from germany's mid sized business model, the middle stand. we can learn an india from the experiences of the german middles, done. but the indian middle stand is much smaller than the german middle stuff. and that's where we have the ability to adapt to the environment, adapt to the situation in germany,

the team at bush likes or is currently creating new parts from a 3 d printer models for hydraulic components. this unique generates pressure for a hydraulic pressure. used to make car doors, for example, the digital twin was tested here. it can display the entire supply chain of a product. you know, thing that means you all digital twins to collect and provide all the data generated across the entire life cycle for production t used by customers site when it's, when queen inch dean on decent, docking to some mode, so fulfilled them, switched on this put sponsors step ahead of the competition, given the use plans to require verification of supply chains in various industries by 2026, which is already the case at the plant in india to with just the fraction of the workforce allowed to work in the factory during the band demik,

the prior digitalization of operations meant that the jobs were actually save the shooting portion. that okay, so nevada, this, this will provide, this will do for home and that, so we put a 2 minimum number and maximum products in, in the front of the team in india are convinced that even supposedly old school production can change regardless of the company size this is not only for the big boys, right? again, we are saying we've been able to demonstrate in a 50 year old factory that it is possible. the challenge is really, 1st in the mind, the adoption, we need to adopt this because that is what will make us competitive. and with this digital factory leading the way others will be eager to follow that fit for another episode of maine with treasured roads in sweden,

chinese eaves prompting here up to show united front stress test the aircraft parts and the name of safety on a digital the twins factory in india, c and x time the
