you know i need to see the picture you. need to believe in a flu shot. how will climate change affect us and our children. w dot com slash water. i'm. saying. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. and support will go for the electorate. that read the auto mobility show. read it gives you a sneak preview of the audi r

a c tron g t 2021. to me more you as excited as we are. this is a prototype which means that we are among the 1st people in the world who could drive for you from said to you by ourselves. not on. our people in bangkok reacting to the new public transport network. by the time i went up to your sexy because. i'm going to the board. and will the future bring more sustainable cars. we really hope that. i start using race aerials because you have you really want to show that it's possible in many occasions brace yourself. you're going to see more along the

way brett here we go. 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 meters of chalk. the car has to be engines 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 your nerves and propulsion when i would hit. the top speed of this high performance cars electronically limited to $250.00 has 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 among the 1st people in the world who want to drive for you from sea to you buy ourselves spots only in the highly professional company because a car is going to market in 2021. the exact date is not yet next spec to college see if the market in the next few months. with it's not particularly al of that tree is an average consumption up just over 20 q. know what al is the honesty tranche each week will cover it range of around 400 kilometers. the best part is when your your 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 because suspension. driving dynamic it's very cool with the suspension of special feature. my ass suspension we are in communication 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 rain.

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 an hour rate so on a super sports car and a highlight of the battery 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 price is pretty obvious the trunk t.t. it will start at around $138.00. as well as the on top they will also be smaller versions with less power and rules and over. it it will start at around $100.00. special on the t. is the 2 speed transmission on the reaction we have a 1st gear. talk and 1st acceleration and the 2nd gear for high speed and.

electric cars don't have any here so it would be easy trying to teach just like the pusher type kung is very special in that respect. after 2 days with a new audi huge one g.t. one thing is clear it's. our 1st full electric grand to a small and the front as much in comparison to the porsche. to sum it up to each one g.t. is a highly powerful performance advantage with an incredible look and a decent range on the downside the prices are relatively high even with the entry level version.

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. of time like the idea of building a lot. into deals people can drive. driving around bangkok these days means traffic chaos air pollution and the threat of flooding but there could be a way out it's just waiting to be discovered. by did they actually do something is missing. in this film google me to people unlocking one of the city's greatest treasures and those who depend on the 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 lives 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 canel springfield 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 built. because they wanted to

show it to the world that our country is coming to developed and you want to reach being spayed 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 to let out is that many thais don't. like to use

public transport. if you took a bus is mean that you have no money this is visit of the thai attitude which i consider. is wrong. but all that could change in the coming years if people like. type their way the open plan is working to upgrade what's left of the canal network he and his team are advising the city of bangkok on how to return the water ways to the key roles that the city's founders understood hundreds of years ago. when it went there then it just said you know bank carbon is better for now we need 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 no it's the plan. to see the challenges firsthand the despairing point you know of the whole project. here on bangkok's not the restoration project means 3 housing thousands of people who have built shanty like housing into the waterway itself. you know and now they believe that this kind of house in the future of you have to dig deeper now down to 3 metres otherwise could be too shallow for them in the front. over there you see the pier we have to knock it down to expand the canal 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 hope 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 of 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 ben just because 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 i want to pull my work on time. unlike your road 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 get to what my place on

the team 301038 b. day is not waste time like. the 12 kilometer journey cause not upon roughly 30 euro cents making it not only the finest this but also the cheapest option for reaching her workplace. now if it be old diesel powered water buses that ply the science science can will create health and environmental hazards of they were. like oh. 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 after the noise of the old diesel powered bore surprise but even that could soon be a thing of the past. that cook city government has realized that we 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 bass mines on many of the resurrected canals. and to be who in the near a lot. of what i think it'll 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 took itto will be providing. the electric engines for at least 20 have been just

but 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 because 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 ito direct to says the running costs would offset the initial cost of the electric boats and this 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 5 o'clock says 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 propeller is 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 are extending there for the range of the board by 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. when you're driving 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 of the lights in the front. in late 2020 thailand's prime minister you china child was personally on hand to switch to a new era of public transport in the capital the hour. was 2 on. 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 blights away the only order will sell. is the noise of the propellers in the water. is different. the one around the problem is very noisy the artist. and the board is unstable because of the variable so many boards going opposite direction but even a problem in introduce this type of board to electrical. problems and i think people would be very happy. not proud canel is also earmarked 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 mounting preachment along its banks. and the wood 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 it but not to book you know they are you go you know i'll be happy. i mean the government has to take them to court but did try not to take them to court the fact that they were there and that bodies throw you know. because you know too far longer. than many of their might to get there are not in their life to come back. some of the river communities have already been relocated to new houses that are subsidized by the government most residents here

now agree that they are better off than before. they leave you know very poor quality of. living you know but now you see there is no difference in the. happy may. have. been here. yeah. that yeah there is a big hint you know that. before. it's the redevelopment of the $24.00 will be completed by the mid 20 twenties and with it and into the environmental damage that has plagued the bushes and. they do. now then become and be a separate reservoir their. grain you know right you have it but in the ground you have in other people. to lead

a. hopeful that the restoration of bangkok's canals will make her 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 and so my dad time i will have to use taxi because. i'm going to the board. but i haven't quite you know why because that generation go abroad very open a study abroad they come back with a different attitude which they use perhaps it sounds odd because i'm not a part of the world people use public transport. so day i will come back and use public transport moel. bangkok knows it has to change yes again by giving more and more room to cause the megacity has reached an impasse but there is a way out the 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.

so our system is built out of this material which is flex and the recycled p.c. bottles and with some other cool materials so that's what this actually and that's what we use as well and this is normally what you throw away in your home on sort of household waste so it's very also. there message is a simple one might 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 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 fashioned from recycled waste. 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 sort of. side of it so i open up at least 3. maybe i should look at 6 better is here there are almost 6 more that are facts and can easily be swapped for food 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 cycle the. final bit is that cereal seeds i can follow they are very. loose that is cowered by 2 electric motors in the rear windows. it's

a dream come true to drive. it's a sporty looking little move with a top speed of around 90 kilometers and i. believe charged it has a maximum range of 220 kilometers. we really hope that all the our car companies a lot of companies started using race materials because you have we want to show that it's possible in many applications and i think it will take some thought but we are seeing that more and more companies are starting to use it of bio based or right there in the interior and we want to show it's also possible to build a shetty 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 creative young minds and people in plugging away instead of resting on their laurels in
