and you know what it's time all voices. on the 77 percent of the stuff. from politics to classes from housing boom boom town this is where. welcome to the 77 percent. this weekend g.w. . player. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. of transport will go will be

a good. image that. the new auto show on t w. getting you into gear on the cutting edge developments that the folks who are involved in the commute we focus on green technology is obsolete in a few months but. has also featured head to heads. and the latest launches let's talk if we want and this is it would fall out of the process and smoko of the stories from around the world that's a good loser be missing welcome to breath. we've come to this beautiful beach in denmark for a very special kind of speech challenge. s.u.v.s are struggling with their public image at the moment they're seen as climate killers gas guzzlers and polluters but at the same. sometimes there are more popular than ever among car buyers. and this

is the muscle car among the s.u.v.s the $550.00 horsepower for chicago and who pay its fuel consumption way more than 10 liters per 100 kilometers per hour car tester gina is convinced it'll beat all comers in a straight sand spread. this power washing is all the idea of a plush. just want the seeds. of the old 911 washes on the other side you might think about it if you need 550 horsepower and a lot of all ranks in front of you but the good thing is everyone can decide. if you're going to thrash around high powered s.u.v.s you need to come to a place like fire strong denmark's west coast yes the danes let you drive here of course the beaches are more crowded in summer of 2 beaches here in the municipality

there's a couple of beaches further up north and on the islands of unfeigned and the reason we choose to do it is because we don't want to have big parking spaces in the nature of natural landscape behind the jews so we prefer sort of for the cost to drive on to the beach because then we don't have to have these big parking spaces in the landscape and we complete the landscape as it is naturally intended and the 2nd advantage is that elderly people handicapped people people with special needs they can get on to the beach as well so that's also a bunch and it's perfect for our traction test ok guys we make a speech acceleration challenge now and we have to partially it is just settle for the final. 4 of us and they will fight against 2 groups we have the audi electric car against the hybrid lexus the diva boy gets the diesel muscle ready and the ring of those groups will find the gaps in the loft have. try again for the coffee and

then we have the winner ok but we're going to miss all of this driving systems and assistants that are in the car centric should be switched off on that wouldn't likely be that him and i would say you can do this too if you. think it's better to let all the systems have them and well let's go got it all the other cars have to do battle only the porsche is already set for the final. this is the lexus our exports $58.00 with full hybrid drive the fully electric out each on the volvo exene 90 mile hybrid diesel and another diesel the montserrat live on tape. first up the volvo x e 90 the 1st real s.u.v. from the swedish carmaker our chester nico has just one issue with it. for a few days i'm driving the law works in one station it's a very comfortable car

a very nice to drive all this this thing systems all supporting with the event the only thing i wanted about the fabric seats in the car because when i thought up a premium s.u.v. car the thought mode let us see it's. disappointing everybody can decide for him or herself. to montserrat he has all the comforts but isn't quite cutting edge says our italian tester fabio. what i really like about this car is the exterior and the interior respectively this wonderful of a material it's this beautiful blue paint job what i don't like about this is that some feature this should be standard in the car of this prospect. as a inductive charging station i've heard of this place and a virtual corpse. can the whole bow mild hybrid take on the. powerful montserrat in

. your vehicle i already know if you're in that pos system. but if i think about it the character registers. up a turnoff to. bradley's instead you know. the fall of those traction control gives it the advantage against the montserrat 8. fabio but i also have a i think turning off the systems wasn't the best idea because i was so the pro was spinning at the start at the beginning and though was in mabel to get off of the mind quickly so there was my big problem. and so the masa ruddy is the 1st to leave the beach in production since 2016 though live on say is in high demand accounting for half of the italian luxury brand sales.

now it's time for the out each run to show what the v.w. groups 1st all electric car can do are tester yok and it was truly impressed. i'm driving for just one a week does already tried and i have to say it's a very comfortable a very silent and all the digital tools inside i don't want to go very quick the problem is surcharging infrastructure i sometimes you have to raid one and. to get it for a battle that's normal you have to think a little bit and then you go but it's possible it's challenger the lexus also has an electric motor in a b 6 combustion engine are tester kristoff says power is not the point here i have to confess i'm a lexus fan from the beginning on although these cars are not perfect. for example all these entertainment systems navigation systems the handling on that is a. man. hybrid drive is not made for german on the back on the other side

a lexus all of its gives you the feeling of safety with these cars were checked through every day every hour on the one example we had that the lower drop blades amount to no of them and at about cost that means it will take these are the car and that is not going to be muddy at all water on the. road of really being on the time of hybrid drive vs eat power the result is clear. the audi feats will lexus no argument right. now normally i should have win because on the but not drive up the talk of the always so huge i had no chance . and so the lexus is the 2nd to leave the arena beaten by pure power. but for all the electro euphoria hybrids like this will still be around for

a long time. now it's time for the semi final. audi vs volvo who will get to face off against the porsche. once again there's no doubt about the outcome power wins out once more. the audi $664.00 newton metres of torque is simply impossible to match. the volvo is out but it's mild hybrid has a future its fuel consumption well under 10 liters per 100 kilometers. modern diesel engines can be cleaner and more efficient as long as they are electrically assisted. and time for the final the big showdown on the beach and by a stop on. can

they be out he overcome the $550.00 horsepower 4 should turbo an excellent start gives the cayenne a few metres lead which it holds on to until the finish line. more horsepower more torque and $400.00 kilos later than the audi makes the difference. the tron has met its match in the final. the 1st electric s.u.v. from audi is a 1st class touring vehicle but it would be a much better electric car if it didn't weigh $2.00 times its battery alone weighs $700.00 kilos. so the winner is the porsche cayenne coupe a turbo but this incredibly good car has a breathtaking price while the other $4.00 s.u.v.s cost around 100000 euros fully

loaded this porsche comes in at a whopping one $180000.00 euros at least in germany at that price how could it have lost done by a strong. what if all s.u.v.s were emission free they could run on hydrogen for example. could places like this be the key to climate neutral mobility for decades scientists at this research plant in south west germany have been seeking to unlock the potential of hydrogen for mercedes-benz. the g.l. c f cell germany's 1st mass produced hydrogen vehicle rev reporter joachim eggers went for a ride in it. helped create this car didn't you. yes

in the development. do any of the nuts or bolts have your name on them. now i know but the software does. tell us about the energy flow. in this view you can see the battery is at the back of the fuel cell system at the front if i step on the gas the most of the energy will come from the fuel cell you know. the feel cell generates the energy directly inside the car and runs on hydrogen could this be a viable solution for the global goal of 0 emissions driving. mercedes research in this area goes back almost 30 years. in 1948 on bail the need car one delivery van the cargo area was taken up by the hydrogen fuel tank and generators. this is the drive train of the latest model together with the

tanks containing the hydrogen. christian more is proud he's in charge of developing the revolutionary technology that has so far cost him there more than a $1000000000.00 euros. the amazing thing is that this car emits water in the form of steam or maybe droplets depending on the temperature a little heat. in other words the car is completely emissions free. and that's the point cutting and ultimately eliminating the carbon dioxide emissions produced by combustion engines of though nuclear options aside the energy obviously has to come from somewhere. electricity from renewable sources could be used to create green hydrogen fuel in large quantities with minimal emissions but that's still a dream with a hefty price tag attached $1.00 reason why dime there has only built around 100 c.f. cells to date. that's what it cost me to do $799.00

euros a month in leasing fees. and that's everything including those even that were not the answer i was expecting. and what if i wanted to buy that car how much would that cost me these are we don't sell this car for various reasons. you're not selling this car. no not even to you above also why did you build it. we built to help us gauge the market for fuel cells. into test the infrastructure and to increase awareness of the issue. with so few on the road which is a shame by the way the car has a range of more than 400 kilometers and is served by almost 80 hydrogen filling stations across germany putting the country 2nd only to japan a central figure in setting up that network so we're living the cars take just 3

minutes to fully refuel. all the way and then lift up the lock and that's all you have to do that's one of the most understanding of the methods as we go into the good gets going the hydrogen flows in their business and now you just push the start button. it's just ask the test stores the test pulse you can hear is the feeling punk checking how much is still in the tank and whether everything's properly sealed when it gets the all clear from the car and starts to fill it up can you hear that funny squeaking sound that's just the compressor nothing to worry about. but we have to find everything's fine. so we're filling up with hydrogen where do you get it from the crucial question because hydrogen only makes sense if we generate it from a renewable source and without c o 2 emissions so we said well done i guess mostly you just have to unlatch it. yeah well right and now pull it out. easy right put it back in its holder and you've

completed your 1st hydrogen refueling tanks can hold 5 kilos of hydrogen at 9 euros 50 a kilo enough to take you 400 kilometers. what does it feel like at the wheel. had a fantastic it's so light and so silent to acceleration it is instead. the power goes straight to the axles which you notice it's a lot of fun to drive. it also smooth a bit like flying. do you have to be tech savvy to drive this car now thankfully that's also true with the current market leader toyota's me right there didn't get all of his doll explains how the hydrogen car is work. doesn't even have an exhaust it's barely visible it's a little plastic water pipe. this is where the steam exits and you can see there's a bit of water on it. this is. the car takes an oxygen from the air through the

compressor at the front. or over oxygen oxygen going on exactly the oxygen is then into the fuel cell where it's combined with h 2. hydrogen. yes and in the fuel cell the molecules can join. the marriage of hydrogen with oxygen releases electricity. and this charge is passed on. the resulting energy powers an electric motor which drives the car. toyota has sold 10000 member eyes since its launch in 2014 the japanese car giant wants to increase production capacity and bring the price down considerably. but what it cost me the list price is $78600.00 euros. all the extras are

standard. and guess what government subsidies and buyer incentive bonuses effectively slashed the price of the mirai in japan by almost $50000.00 euros. and is leading the way when it comes to helping hydrogen technology take off there are even plans to put a hydrogen powered rover on the moon. just so happens to mean future and the japanese evidently see hydrogen as the fuel of tomorrow on earth and further afield. back in germany research and development is by comparison still out in the cold but don't forget it's not the road you take it's getting there that counts and greater political commitment would surely break the ice.

what would you like to do i am cold. here's a brand new call for the 845 years his speech will be ready to make go into play and this is when you go through the race and the question is is this going to be the last call for ever because the full electric idea 3 is going to be on market soon and the next question will the idea 3 replace the new growth. and growth as a compact car and a pound of its own class with both class and it was growing from generation to generation it started with we 70 and the new one for me to us and 28 centimeters. really have a gentleman come tell

a story about a folks welcome both as a 1st cause or as a student i want to own the growth news loop and i thought it was a race car because i imagine the car was going 190 k.p.h. the speedometer was not so accurate it was also alleging from 100 faulty to 190 all the time and i realized the cobbles not so fast and also because all it took me on the ultrabook. a lot of time passed and the post cold in 1974 in 45 years volkswagen sold more than 35000000 units worldwide this is a big history. the

latest comes with diesel gasoline high. plate and compressed natural gas engines but no pure electric and on the outside for better or worse it still looks like a trough the revolution takes place inside because the new gold is totally digital which means there are hardly any switches and everything can be operated by touch or by voice control this is contemporary and it's working hello folks barking what would you like to do i am cold. that problem gets warmer the front left shortly. the 2nd revolution and the engines the mahabharat can sail which means engine and drive train decoupled this serves fuel and when it comes back to combustion you don't notice that i think it's clever and i like that. an entry model golf with car

2 ex-communication costs $27000.00 euros but you'll have to pay a bit more for fancy extras and digital options such as the adaptive lighting system i.q. lights so the question remains should folks like you finally let go of the gulf. when the id 3 will be a state of the art all electric redesign and the golf brand feels out of step with the zeitgeist well the gulf is a survivor it's got a wide array of fuel efficient engines and electric charging is still a problem in most countries the world has always been best in that segment since 45 years but they are still the question is the new full electric are you 3 going to replace them gold well it's going to replace the new gold but there are still a lot of regions where there's not enough charging stations and there's a reason why there's still a need for gold with for combustion engine. but for how much longer.

let's look at another survivor and mercedes one flying the streets of one go to book enough in our series about taxi drivers around the world. that. the mob angle they saw. the didn't that's the bit to do with. it that's you it's a lovely lovely view i love that it was like that with a. play along with some milk i'm going to use or thanks. for the. cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut cut. please. please do. not. miss the good to be

a good thing. but. this is something i've got a bit of pride about but the moment someone thinks they got to give up the other party i want to be with roses and. stuff will see it. coming. up publicly media jumped up soon. with the guy that the team would pull from me how about i got the month i get a big club and i could go go music lots. of other things we could play them in the middle of a. song many. things come to be possible. believe me but

got put off i got a new one and some people make sense to me next to them and. i'm glad i've forgot about for my. guide to how you. pick up the pump. problem. the old one the significant no one and then no i didn't mean you wrong pete. has simply been long. more companies to do the minimum of. 6 a method that's the number one thing that will keep the boss in the front a replica blah blah blah from the stuff i'm just appalled by the loss of a book that's going to. a more limited by moving to the i'm the daughter

of a local cable. wonder woman but then all of this doesn't get done i'm going to sleep good i'm going under the bus good physical play. the big. thanks for the ride to see aka we wish you and everybody else a safe journey onward i look forward to seeing you again for the next edition i'll grab.
