president. thinks. he challenges are those. credible story bob you want. to. start december 10th on g.w. . we are living during the most extraordinary time mr st. francis ford coppola for the electric. light that. rev the auto and mobility show. long lived email from visions and dreams to

reality red for sense the icon of new mobility. also i could list also the reason. one of the richest men in the world to be a lawn musk businessman visionary and pop star and one thing that drives. so the growth here for parents feel good about that of course he can also be a little more modest but no less passionate immobility on 2 wheels 0 emissions transport handmade in uganda actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself to be part of the great team which is outside the friendship between tomorrow it will be need to in germany volkswagen is proud of the twa a car a hybrid with a good electric range. i could be driving the whole week from monday to friday without any local emissions and finally tamaki tells us about her great passion driving a cab in. on the. world

of e-mail bill of right now. our rockets of mars. traveling through it to. mind reading who could possibly be behind these projects meet the lawn must entrepreneur the billionaire inventor. also i know just what sets him apart is his willingness to take risks and that he uses his own money. his experience as a serial entrepreneur gives an easy access to venture capital in the u.s. that's obviously a huge advantage and that combination makes him dangerous to establish players like say the german auto industry. must got involved with tesla without any industry experience. at 1st the company met with derision as almost everything

went wrong. but it's evolved into a very serious rival to prestigious german carmakers. when there's something he can't do or something that's not working like in his car manufacturing processes he hires people or teams to fix it. before he acquires companies and integrates them into tesla's manufacturing processes. and now they no longer have as many problems as they had in 2015 so the league of. musk is celebrated as a visionary nowadays and is emblazoned on many a t. shirt. his fans seem to think their idol can solve the world's problems. must just be even said to have inspired movie heroes and he be sure. albeit briefly

in a film. of on a poser some of this is definitely down to his personality extrovert always forging ahead maybe even managed and i don't know. he also likes to indulge his own myth. when he visited germany there was a lot of showmanship in this and showed he cultivates the myth himself i think for that do not flee at all. elon musk was born in for toria south africa and 1971 the son of a model and an engineer he devoured books at an early age was fascinated by technology and even as a child was already interested in rockets. he says he used to be bullied at school . and his brother set up a company as teenagers and even made money with it. musk studied physics and economics in canada. then he moved to the us and got rich. one of the

startups he was involved with was the forerunner of the payment service. he started studying for a ph d. at stanford but soon dropped out. mind reading is one of his dreams. so he started by having chips inserted into pig's brains. but is mind reading a good idea. how do people living near his factories feel. and how does tesla treat its workers. just as though it can feel and that's a difficult issue because these serial entrepreneurs like say steve jobs aren't always the nicest people and they're usually quite a mix they're often fascinating but they also put people under pressure and expect a lot from them to.

with hard work and probably a lot of pressure some of my seemingly crazy ideas have become successful company. space x. for example may not be taking tourists to mars yet but it is working with nasa. thank. you no but innovation and learning fast go together he's adopted the principle of fail fast learn fast from american startup culture. when you see how big his companies have become it looks like that's something he's passed on to his employees. the question is what idea will iran must come up with next to change the world.

francis is one of the few delivery people who drives an electric motor bike in the ugandan capital kampala he sees a lot of advantages to it. number one it is silent. now but doesn't close to it at all. number 3 right away our health claims very aware. appears food delivery is being eagerly awaited by pregnant customer since he saves on fuel he can charge less than his competitors. he's actually very cheap to buy them in the days i think they go there people are doubling their praise so literally just been convenient for me. in kampala alone there are about a 130000 motorcycles or a boat

a boat house which serves as taxis and transport is. the masses of motorized vehicles generate a huge amount of air pollution and c o 2 emissions. that is why the united nations environment program you know happy provides advice and financial support for electric mobility in eastern africa. we need the media response you need in the media inventions and electric mobility is one of those because it is easier to adopt as we do infrastructure needs being done to meet so you can have your computer. and. development past. that path requires pioneers like ben look areas korea and jaco point past they both studied mechanical engineering in germany today in kampala they are converting gas powered motorcycles into the bikes at

a cost of around $500.00 euros to the customer. so all we remove is what you call the petrol powered train. petrol driven. and we've poured an electric podger in search you can see it's the same bike fuel tank is empty of course. and what we put inside is mainly a controller and the electrical solar electric more thought. about tree as a source of power replacing the fuel tank and some digital controls of throttle. ion batteries for coverage from all laptops are assembled into rechargeable battery units for the e. bikes and the recycling loop continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the epochs so what we do get the new about her is use it for your mobility. after that when they lose

a bit of power we either put it we put it in storage systems you know like power you know power resolves once lose again you know lose a bit of power we go through tortures another small out because it was before it goes through to be disposed. delivery man francis ok is one of 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. on average he has to return to van to work twice a day to recharge. events the battery for the equivalent of less than 3 euros a day all in all it is cut his operating costs in half but there is still $1.00 thing that bothers him. all the world of one place where we where we suffer there but this. letter that he said when they go there to get the feedback but we are getting from the border guys is also also because. it doubles their income

so families. we see kids being brought from the village that are now schooling in kampala because the writers have more money. german engineer daniel today and is taking a different approach he works for a solar energy company in uganda for several years before he decided to bring clean motorcycles into the country with his start up december he now imports cutting edge electric motor bikes from china. each one sells for about 1000 euros. that's quite a lot of money but the drivers can pay it off over 2 years and they keep bikes are tailored to the specific needs of uganda. driving mode is different than a chinese person commuting to work here we really look into productive he was and hundreds of kilometers every day there is still a long way to go though. right this is. really good.

for the liver. the startup has sold 28 bikes so far and they expect 80 more to arrive soon from china. zambo is already creating employment sarah tabu couldn't find a job for 2 years now she's in charge of marketing here. actually it makes me feel very very proud of myself that i'm contributing a lot to be part of the great team which is actually part of getting through. to immobility. for a small fee of just over half a euro assembled driver can exchange an empty battery for a fully charged $1.00. percent both the bikes are fully green since the electricity comes from the solar energy station with panels on top of the company's building. and the company wants to build 4 more solar charging stations in kampala. energy is

generated within the country not like hewitt which is imported from outside. so this has a huge impact on the environment. and we would prefer. i see even 10 years you know if you want to cite this old anymore in the world market it's an outdated technology. things are moving in the right direction. france is so key and his converted motorcycles are taking a step away from gasoline powered driving and it's harmful consequences for the environment. this is the new v.w. are. are going to kate's a high performance model and this is the 1st plug in hybrid car. but what can it do

and does a plug in hybrid version of a car like this even make sense plug in i would normally have to bring you to your job and back electrically which means about 20 to 50 kilometers on average so this is very important for the manufacturer because of their fleet consumption and for your taxes because of the state subsidy and we want to know how far can this to iraq go. before we take the v.w. to our radar for a test drive let's check out how it looks. for the exterior of the lot this blue metallic paint is a real eye catcher. what's more the distinctive r. badge is integrated into the design of the new to our a car. but appearance of course isn't enough for a car like this how about its performance and comfort. 340 kilowatts power

and 700 meters of talk big points but a weight of 2.5 tons is another big one so let's see what the jury can do i'm going to pretend. drive to walk and then i want to shop. to get to work without breaking a sweat the offers an electric range of 47 kilometers and a top speed and electric mode of 135 kilometers an hour before the twin turbo b. 6 gasoline engine kicks in to supplement the electric motor. with its 700 newton metres of torque and 8 speed automatic transmission. are rolls along smoothly and quietly getting you where you need to go without stress.

let's assume that i work here and the battery is still a range of about 30 kilometers which would be enough to go home again and recharge my own wall box and so i could be driving the whole week from monday to friday without any local emissions. as for making it to the charging station with the twa radar which is over 4.8 meters long and weighs 2 and a half times the driver can rely on all wheel steering and a number of assistance systems for example the battery manager can be used to reserve a certain amount of energy for targeted situations like driving an electric motor through a low emissions. car also makes it possible to tow a trailer load of up to $3.00 tons using only electric power. the problem with all this calculating is that the numbers are too low. a transport and environment the umbrella organization of european environment associations has

analyzed the data of more than $20000.00 hybrids in europe and the average officially is 44 grams c o 2 per kilometer the reality is 117 grams per kilometer and this is 265 percent on top. so what's the verdict on the plus side for a car boasts a range of about 810 kilometers as well as long distance comfort and fuel consumption of only 2.5 liters per 100 kilometers in our test. on the down side it's pretty heavy $2.00 tons and it's large size makes it less than ideal for city centers or even parking garages. now i'm back home and i can charge the 2 a rank on my wall box it lasts about 2 and a half hours to fill it up again this is enough to come. to work and back home

every day all maybe in the city for example when combustion engines are not allowed anymore and i can pre-select the charging level to have enough juice in the city. the touring car past our test and it makes perfect sense because in the coming years the future of mobility will look more and more electric and combustion engines will one day not be allowed in city centers. once more rev it's only the you tube channel if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world can make you very happy. vintage classics and future check or just some deep sounding content waiting for you subscribe to us at youtube dot com slash d w ralph and you'll always be up to speed.

on that that's in the money the most must. think. we're going to get rid of a 70. year old europe today i started 8 of them i think in my. site i know. it's artists.

they know if i want to say that's how much it's gone i for my height have a good they do with it and i found a nice among them if they'd like enough. said on monday that in the senate about the accident height so did not mean the thunder that it was due to the support system but it. was the last one nanogram what. i mean when this is just the moment that i want this sort of

a look at none of the. books you guys and head of state of the west and the had to make. us was no almost take it may not be able to look like that should i have a couple who think that in all their it that if you got up high single one of them let it out a little in this song could end up in this google. just check you if then they say a q. it to them is a little. bit below they argue that if you're not going to bid. so there's no dance going the mother just picks you up to milk on out the globe it looks yes because they trust in their. own as. we have to have to do anything to live according to his mother this is much. too much so much of it that so much about. but i thought i'm off.

to manage to. get somebody to live they must have up and i'll get some i'm not going to move quite a bit of this you know. look at some of the not the. good old. do that on this in a lot of them and you can live there must look to name to be a vehicle that today has been in this little summit on the they have been and it. has done this. moment let's get this good also not to them or to them or took them to get the deal out of their voyage that you did not done this but we still could not feel that the today must cool tragic day if not this going to be because some of mamma. if i should teach about quite equal to the star.

choose shot. dead will just as i stated to the go green. that does though i. know. that at that he thought. they will but i must say that at the time i thought of. but that's that you don't mean law yet the needle it and others of the that said look you know you don't know it that's that. she will boast and must. kiddo there was just in the name of oh i did not go on the edge of this home but also of the did a good ole man up they must. unite in others and turn them on.

internet all the way to go and use it on and on and on it but also about a month long government she will. want to get that you now know that skinny need to come to the tipton must. eat up what i did over it or doing as you call. it the one of the good and not only must there how do you look at all of it the need to take on that all the anyone in the. cities of us could have. much of those that man united cannot get. in there let me just say that it must. also at the it on the cup they are all gone and so in the last in them and there. are you. that you must.
