says it's commerce ministry is poised to take retaliatory measures if the united states decides to escalate the conflict tensions between the world's 2 largest economies have mounted since the last round of trade negotiations collapsed at the beginning of may and neither of the 2 appears willing to result the conflict quickly. the european central bank has taken surprise action to both of the 1918 year olds on e.c.b. chief mario druggies is the bank will extend the earliest date for an interest rate increase from the end of the year to half way through next year and rates are at record lows the e.c.b. follows other central banks in responding to fears about trade tensors their current. let's off before they could even get their engine started telling us group fia chrysler wanted to build one of the world's biggest carmaker is by merging with france's renaud that fits abruptly pulling out blaming the french government. it

was meant to be a match made in heaven with multiple synergies together feed cries there and run a would shake up the world car market both firms are set to benefit hugely from the landmark deal now it's dead in the water run as most successful markets are in europe and emerging markets but it hasn't sold in the world's 2nd biggest market the u.s. for decades that's where few chrysler's strengths lie. he cries it was also hoping to profit from meadows expertise in developing autonomous and electric vehicles the newly merged entity would have been well positioned to compete with the world's biggest players. the world number one votes wagon sold over 10800000 cars last year followed by toyota with 10500000 autos emerged cries and red 0 would have come in 3rd place with 8700000 cars without a merger crys there is an 8th place with 4800000 cars and red always in one place.

chrysler's decision to withdraw its proposal came as a surprise the rental board said it needed more time to consult on the merger but feed chrysler feels the french government which owns 50 percent of rent o interfered in the process cries are said to monsoon paris including guarantees that already know plants and jobs in france will be preserved led to the deals collapse . is africa's auto market ready to go electric the distances a vast infrastructure is almost nonexistent that hasn't stopped the german stuff from designing and pick up especially for africa the prototype a car got its 1st african outing in ghana 2 years ago proving the hardy little truck can handle the challenges the. the test crowned 4 years of work by a group of munich students they built a basic electric pickup that can be recharged on a standard household outlet and that in less than 6 hours.

the main challenge for electric vehicles in africa is the availability of electricity that's why from the start we focused on energy supply where to get it experience has shown that there is an energy network it's just not reliable so we're also working a lot with primary energy providers meaning were newborn energies like solar or hydro electric. eva motors is now in its 4th prototype this model is expected to launch in africa in 2 years time in countries like ghana kenya south africa and namibia the idea is to supply some parts as modules with other components made locally. the a car is made mostly with flat metal panels and a total of $600.00 components not counting screws and rivets it comes with only a few very basic fittings and that's obviously i have to supply certain parts like the battery electric motor and so on but any still or metal sheeting can be made locally and of course the aim is

a car which doesn't need much know how to build the production lines will also be arranged in such a way that things will be super easy to run. to make sure the a car can be built anywhere even motors analyzes production processes how can certain procedures be simplified in such a way that they can be easily grasped by mechanics anywhere in the world. but we've got this bodywork now and we document the installation of the suspension the axles and the connecting rods what to watch for the order things have to be mounted in. how many workers are needed do you need help or is it possible for one person. with . the a car is due to enter mass production in early 2020 then it will be launched in africa in ghana it's expected to cost around $10000.00 euros. well as an old dude who is from gonna and tested the vehicle there you've seen it in action you've sat in it what's it actually like is beautiful is

a bit robust but is something which is very interesting to test drive it yourself the question of course is not only going to be doesn't work but doesn't work for africa the distances in africa are vast how how are you going to get around that rut it is true that it's challenging but we tested enough rekha into 7th in we tested it in. one room i invest in real science and technology in collaboration with the best the it was amazing that the public was receiving this and you would not believe it that it was shipped from here to africa it landed and it was ready to move and it was able to perform perfectly the driving down on this was a silent do you submit. it and also we tested about 3 titan pictures in humidity and everything was just perfect so the battery works and it's being given a good reception but what about when it runs out of battery what happens then good

that is the. vision part of it you know because we have solar panels mounted on top of the vehicle so walls are driving us those charging the batteries and this guy you for the distances and this is very interesting it is a face off it's kind of it's moving very what is the infrastructure like in general in africa and i'm sure it's very different in various countries where there are a lot of electric infrastructure projects going on in africa for example in ghana in nigeria and solved also in libya also. and many other countries so the infrastructure just wonderful and this being daily . and what is it like when when it comes to a stable supply of electricity i mean george is electricity there but whether or not it's stable is. another thing that's that's important when running a business definitely africa is pumping a lot of investment into improving the electric infrastructure and this is

improving up currently we are coming up with the high input both form the renewal boss with the convention in philadelphia that is to supply and it's the same for many of its own countries in ghana for example i can tell you that it's really getting better and no problem otto having that drink vehicles on the roads and so it's a real growth market itself renewables what about the price of this vehicle would would businesses be able to afford focus not this much for for a truck like this and each truck yes it is great to know that the prize is currently $10000.00 euros for a purchase price but this is very affordable for many communities and offer it i mean both this is a community very current in and 2. different people using it and share the cost of benefits tell you one little thing you really positive about this project which is great why did a german start up have to come up with this idea why didn't one of the big german car makers come up with this idea if it's a frontier interest and they started investing put it between the taken to invest

in it and then who could mind this or science and technology and the potential is in africa and to have such a point that you need to come down to offer it got to have it tested and i'm sure the german not the big ones buy the stuff elsewhere really it would to take advantage of this and they were able to start and i'm really happy to see that the public sitting around a it's amazing the candle of the sun to empire to force it to us and to him in the 2nd in 5 he's the one who really lit the luncheon into in the seventy's and the public was amazing and always wanted to but he's behind it and he's a force in the greatly and this is good for the african market central thank you very much interesting talking about this next growth market it sounds like it could . bring a lot for africa and for this feel very much thank you very much. a look to the skies now for the latest tech advice on was to say farewell to your friendly neighborhood mailman u.s.
