what to do with all our waste. we can make a difference by choosing smart new solutions overstrained said in other ways. google ideas to see research includes me. at all. i'm. saying. we are living during the most extraordinary time history. board will go for the electric. cut. the auto mobility show. rev gives you a sneak preview of the audi r

a c tron g.t. 2021. are you as excited as we are. this is a prototype which means that we are among the 1st people in the world who want to drive by always sell. cars. on. our people in bangkok reacting to the new public transport network. by that time i will have to do a sexy because. i'm going to the board. and will the future bring more sustainable cars. we really hope that. it wasn't. for people so you have your meal on the show disposable and many of the patients brace yourself. you're going to see more along the way

read here we go. hello from salt lake today is again the audi t.t. but today we want to feel the dynamics. i. don't train to go was like hell no wonder with 475 kilowatts and 800 metres of talk . has to be entrance one at the front axle and one at the rear. of the joey engines pitchfork the car you know 23 seconds from standstill to 100

kilometer this. drive units. and. i would hit. the top speed of this high performance car like isn't it trying to keep limits material 150 kilometers an hour which is way more than most other electric cars out there. if you're wondering why the interior of this car still is him well this is a prototype which means that we are all men the 1st people in the world who want to drive for you from sea to you by ourselves spots only in the highly professional company because the car is going to market in 2021. the exact date is not yet next stick to the market in the next few months. but it's not easy to know what alan that's for me and an average consumption of just over 20 can know what al is the only tranche each week will cover the range of around 400 kilometers. the best

part is when your you drive select but push this button into the dynamic mode because the fun begins especially when you are among the 1st people in the world who are allowed to drive the car by yourself. and the thing that makes it fun is the cars suspension. driving dynamic it's very cool with you on the suspension a special feature of my ass suspension in combination with adjustable we can set it to only 102 was a very short to the other hand to a very dynamic driving feeling. because charging system will enable you to charge the conference the way to 80 percent in just 20 minutes. that will result in another $320.00 economic sense of the brain.

so it's the 1st brother electric vehicle that audi with a flat bottom architecture that means the battery is integrated very low in the car so we can realize a very low center of gravity even lower than on an hour 8 so on a super sports car and the highlight of the battery on a texture is that we have no better results in the foot well that means we can realize a very low seat position on the one hand and a very flat roof line on the other hand. the prices for the arias trial g.t. will start at around $138.00. as well as the and. they will also be smaller versions with less and end of a. good start at around 100000. especially on the t. is $32.00 speed transmission on the reaction we have a 1st gear. talk and 1st acceleration and the 2nd gear for high speeds and higher.

electric const don't have any here so you see each trying to teach just like you can see how to push a tight cunt is very special in that respect. after 2 days with a new audi huge one c t one thing is clear it's. our 1st full electric grand to a small and the front is much nicer in comparison to the porsche type. to sum it up to each one g.t. is a highly powerful performance sedan with an incredible look and a decent range on the downside the prices are relatively high even with the entry level.

change is coming to bangkok thanks to a mixture of modern technology and powerful and wisdom. the old watertown on the flood plains of the child prior river has become a sprawling metropolis but such rapid growth has come at a high price so. the government at that time like the idea of building more roads. into deals people had to drive. driving around bangkok these days means traffic chaos air pollution and the threat of flooding but they could be a way out just waiting to be discovered they cannot. dismiss it. somehow. in this film google me to people unlocking one of the city's greatest treasures and those who depend on their success. and we will see how german technology is helping the thai capital

return to a more reliable form of mobility. she had our own likes to stroll she says it's the best way to get through bangkok traffic in her lifetime the city has grown 10 fold but she still knows where she can go to escape the pressures of in isolation. is that remind you of. you know a lot of. these days you have to the car to see any resemblance to the italian city the arrival of the motor vehicle in the 1st half of the 20th century led to many of bangkok's canals being filled in all built on to create more roads the policy massively change the character of the city explains the 70 year old the reason why they started to feel what it can and build. because they wanted to

show it to the world at a world country is coming to developed and you want to reach up in spades so there will be a mall rort mall car. bangkok was founded as a canal city in the 18th century and still boasts more than 1100 waterways but these days in the city center and the central business district the network once the city's transportation backbone is disrupted or nonexistent. in fact almost 2 thirds of the trips in bangkok are made using private vehicles including more than $4000000.00 cars and countless more missions cycles. the sat nav company tom-tom regularly ranks the city among the world's worst traffic congestion. part of the problem according to. him is that many ties. i don't like to use public

transport. if it took a bus is mean that we have no money this is this is a bit of the. concept. is wrong. but all that could change in the coming years if people like. to have their way the open plan is working to upgrade what's left of that you know network he and his team are advising the city of bangkok on how to return the waterways to the key roles that the city's founders understood hundreds of years ago. in effect their very existence you know better canal needed better connectivity. this official project video illustrates the plans to integrate bangkok's canal system with other mass transit systems especially the major network. the idea is to join up more than 400 kilometers of canals across the bangkok

metropolitan area with hundreds of transport know. the plans can architect took us to see the challenges 1st hand the discarding quite you know of the whole project ok here on bangkok. the restoration project means free housing thousands of people who have built shanty like housing into the waterway itself. if you should be for that you know and nowadays if you get this kind of house in the future of you have to dig different now down to 3 meters is going to be too shallow for you in the front. or there you see the pier we have to knock it down to expand. and we're. also going to be. you know. you're going to see more along the way. the canal restoration will not only help people. move freely across bangkok by improving water flow through the city during

the monsoon season it's hoped that it will into catastrophic flooding that regularly cripples the thai capital such as here in 2011. well it's unlikely that central bangkok will regain its ancient canal network the last probably the way could provide a major link to the few canals in bangkok that are used for public transport their potential is clearly shown by the signs of canal which sees up to $50000.00 commuters every day. commuters like nat upon bin jasim. she works as a barista in a city center cafe and doesn't own a car so she has no choice but to use public transport but taking a bus is out of the question she says if the one tool will work on time what if my baby unlike you wrote based options the water bus won't get stuck in traffic she says. well it's what if i mean isn't it 45 minutes every day so i.

may work place 110301038 be days not waste time like bus the 12 kilometer journey cause not upon a roughly 30 euro cents making it not only the finest this but also the cheapest option for reaching her workplace. however the old diesel powered would have buses that ply the science science can will create health and environmental hazards they were. like oh. look at me a lot of life. to 45 minutes the younger mr arrives at his stop from here it's only a 5 minute walk to work place in downtown bangkok. the street sounds come almost as

a reprieve off to the noise of the old diesel powered war supplies but even that could soon be a thing of the past. bangkok city government has realised that was a transport must become more attractive if it is to catch on with the population. that's why he was sorry he's one to add electric water bus lines on many of the resurrected canals. i think it will be much better. in the past especially when the boats were passing each other. it was very loud. and it was smelly the smell of burning diesel or petrol but now with electric boats we can listen to music and there won't be any unpleasant smell. the german company to quito will be providing. the electric engines for at least 20 have the new canal just that convincing the

authorities to go electric wasn't easy. but he asked if i did. the 1st question we normally get is how much does an electric propulsion system cost. and to be honest it's the cost of an electric system is $2.00 to $3.00 times higher than for a conventional outboard engine. in the long run that took itto direct to says the running costs would offset the initial cost of the electric boats and. that is the advantage over a combustion engine that has many moving parts where you have to do regular oil changes or you have to exchange certain components because of wear and tear. in our electric engines there are no moving parts. that means we hardly need any maintenance or repair. once complete the new fiberglass would have buses will be powered by 12 lithium batteries.

but we are currently installing the power $24.00 batteries in the rear of the boat . later we will mount the chargers and solar chargers charge of. all the batteries are numbered so that we always know the condition and level of every single battery . the new boats are powered by twin propellers each providing a thrust of 20 horsepower for the charge they can run for up to 4 hours and have a maximum speed of 17 kilometers per hour for extra range each vessel is equipped with 12 solar panels we have a lot of sun here in southeast asia so they are very efficient here and we're extending there for the range of the powered by let's say at least 1520 percent. one electric mobility still has its limitations points out that bangkok's canals

offer the perfect conditions for battery power transport. by. when you're driving an electric boat you have to know your route and the distance you want to cover. here on the canals this is always pre-determined we know the number of kilometers we know the maximum capacity the total weight of the boat and we can guarantee that the boats will always be 100 percent ready to use during operating hours writing off on. in late 2020 time then prime minister price you china child was personally on hand to switch to a new era of public transport in the capital throughout. was. it's the 1st electric fleece of passenger vessels in the country and the 1st public line the. canal has seen in many decades. is an early adopter of the new electric boat

service for the 1st months of operations the service around the heart of bangkok's old town is free to attract customers. but the timing is far from ideal starting in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic also means most of the other passengers seats are empty. as the vessel glides away the only order will sell. is the noise of the planets in the water. is different. no one around the problem is very noisy they want to dirty. and the board is unfair but will because of the variables so many boats going opposite direction but the men in to do this time aboard the electrical. problem. i think people would be very happy. proud canal is also in mt for a new electric bird service at least once the upgrade is complete. it's

a good example of the challenges of the canal restoration project for the longest time not proud was known for its putrid piles of rubbish and landing croce went along its banks. and the work to reach even that the canal is complicated by the city's efforts to win over thousands of residents who will be displaced. if somebody in 5th will not do both you know they i need to go you know he had to. i mean the government has to take them to court but to try not to take them to part with pride that they were there and that by this role you know. you've been because you know being lied to for longer. than many of their might to read. are not going to come back. some of the river communities have already been rededicated to new houses that are subsidized by the government most residents here now agree that

they are better off than before. they leave been very poor quality of. living you know but now you see the difference in the big happy may be happy. then that many are. yeah. yeah that is the big hint you know. before. it's the redevelopment of the 24 can be completed by the mid 20 twenties and with it and into the environmental damage that has plagued the fortunately. they do. now then become and be a separate water. granted all right you have it but when you have it other people.

hopeful that the restoration of bangkok's canals will make a home city kena most sustainable and less congested but she's also been around long enough to know that significant change might take another decade by that time i will have to use taxi because. i'm going to the board. but i haven't quite you know why because i. go abroad very open a study abroad they come back with a friend and they just popped it sounds odd because in another part of the world people use perfect townsfolk. so day i will come back and use public transport lol . bangkok knows it has to change yet again by giving more and more room to cause the megacity has reached an impasse but there is a way out of this city only has to make the most of what might be its greatest asset then all the mistakes of the past will be nothing but. the breach.

if you read check out our you tube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture about mobility around the world can be cute very happy. big ditch classics and future tech are just some of the exciting content waiting for you to subscribe to is that you tube slash d w red and you'll always be up to speed. on. this car is literally rubbish complete trash. but we use a whole different kind of waste and also recycled waste but mostly on sort of waste as well luko is the brainchild of students from the i'm told in university of technology. fund and is the dutch teams project manager.

so she is built out of this material which is flex and the recycled beauty bottles and with some other cool materials so that's what this actually and that's what we use in our interior as well and this is normally what you share away in your home sort of household waste is very also. their message is a simple 11 call it waste when it's recyclable materials. are only worth $22.00 students and not all full time and we start from scratch so it's just from nothing till this and we have to think of all of ourselves and we don't nobody's ever build a car before. starting from scratch can sometimes be an advantage and help to focus inventive minds on the essentials. in just 18 months the students created a minor miracle a car fashion from recycled ones to. championing the cause of

sustainability while at the same time furthering their own potential. so that's very difficult of course but very also to do because you learn a lot about it so that's the upside of. it was for you. maybe i should look at 6 better is here there are more 6 more that are facts. for that's for sure if you're better is empty so folks all to see it be sitting in their estimates for discard and are actually made out of coconut fiber or share side of the. earth final bit. serial this is a seat i can follow to your ferry. that is powered by 2 electric motors in the rear wheels. it's

a dream come true to drive. it's a sporty looking little mover with a top speed of around 90 come on the news and. police charged it has a maximum range of 220 kilometers. we really hope that all the car companies a lot of companies started using race materials because you have you really want to show that it's in many applications and i think it will take some time but we are seeing that more and more companies are starting to use it to bio based or ways. in the interior and we want to show it's also possible to build a share see out of it and hopefully in the coming here we also see that happening. behind tobin university of technology has a reputation for innovation and creativity young minds to keep on plugging away instead of resting on their laurels in
