that's what to do with all our waste. we can make a difference by choosing smart solutions over stain set in our ways. blueline to those fundamental series of includes $3000.00 almost total and all my. clothes. shot glasses from. the fists. the food. we are living during the most extraordinary time in history. both price board will go fully electric good. in a bad. rep the auto immobility show.

neo sounds the charge on tesla and the rest of the competition with the new $87.00 . chevy chase. volvo is headed for an all electric future with cars like the x e 40 recharge. sounds good on paper feels even better. but crazy. from the maverick to simply mad machines goes up the unconventional variety is just noise it's a very thoughtful fun but i think really really well this is going any going to do stuff with the music people as we hope will to let's go crazy. a new e-card that is throwing down. on the gauntlet to the likes of tesla and

porsche on a quest to conquer the world. the neo g.t. 7 is a sports sedan of the supra live a variety. it comes with a 1000 kilometer range from one single charge regardless of the weather. it's also accompanied by a world's 1st battery swapping system. packed with $648.00 horsepower it makes the dash to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. neo's visionary c.e.o. has grand plans for the empty 7 it's a 2nd living room with cutting edge technology. and 2 big factor in those plans is a combination of digital tech artificial intelligence and a committed community. always you know i like the futuristic aspect and the design all right it's a leading global brand in electric vehicles almost young so we hope to launch in

europe as well soon. and it was with global reach in mind that william lee unveiled his latest model in chengdu in early 2021 e.t. 7. isn't she a beauty. this car is the purest example yet of a futuristic design. tesla neo is targeting young tech savvy urbanites and building an entire community around its brand. was we are new drivers we're part of the neo family. took us it's made in china it's chinese people who are building neo cars which. neo day is an annual extravaganza open to all car owners and the company spares no expense recruiting some of china's biggest celebrities for the event like brad.

singer langfang. but the real star of the show is another man founder and c.e.o. william lee. hello everyone. faith and courage are what drive us welcome i am william lee. lee founded neo when 2014 when he was already a self-made billionaire he made his fortune from various internet startups including a web site for trading used cars the key to his success was being more innovative and wiser to developments than the competition neil stocks soared over the course of 2020 past it out of tesla. the story of william lee is similar to that of the founder of his american rival. more so than established carmakers neo invested in a sense of community among its customers while relatively new in china it has

proved to fit drivers have set up their own clubs like this one in quito we like them because compared to tesla neo is a brand that really understands chinese people. club members organize outings and charity events and to communicate regularly with the company meo has an active commitment to its users as customers are called a lot of owners install an app on their phone that keeps them in constant contact with neo and in many cases the queries are answered by the c.e.o. himself. china is home to the world's biggest market for electric cars and one boosted by government subsidies you'll get this shit i chose it because it's more enjoyable to drive. you don't have to worry about anything. built in neo software enables users to link up with popular and. like we chad and

the digital assistant know me i go. back and open the driver's window. all of this is intended to appeal primarily to the young online generation. we believe that our model will be in demand in any country with a creative and upbeat lifestyle. down to go some new lives. is a german engineer now based in china he's the chief of technology at center on automation in sutro and was one of neo's 1st customers. for 2 years now he's been driving an e.s.a. might china's 1st premium as c.v. . for this call is. $650.00 p. calls pole the 6. neo was one of the 1st companies to make racing cars

for formula in 2018 they moved on to designing s.u.v.s for the chinese market targeting well off families with prices ranging between 457-0000 euros. the new $87.00 is aimed at a sporty or clientele it boasts $650.00 horsepower and a solid state battery with 150 kilowatt hours in the biggest version. neo promises a range of 1000 kilometers or more which has caused quite a stir in the automotive industry after all that's a figure no other electric car has ever managed. more than portended wanted to our main competitors for now our traditional combustion engine cars in the same price bracket if we compare ourselves to them i. don't see any

disadvantages whether it's the performance the integration of intelligence systems interior design the digital experience autonomous driving features or our service quality. i think we're very competitive on all fronts. those to your advantage in the mule's of. the new 87 is not yet available for testing but functionally instead treats us to a sneak preview in his 2 year old e s 8 it already has some of the same autonomy striving features like main keeping assist technology that enjoys state subsidies as does the infrastructure. to use it always and for sure overrule if necessary but i know what is possible and what so i can already see when it's a little bit tricky. i haven't looked really. actually you know we've changed the expressway so you're not doing anything and everything for. weather my feet on the

pedals and all my hands on your. god look a little pretty cold. but for electric car makers range remains the biggest challenge and this is where the chinese company has found a neat solution unable in customers to swap empty batteries for full ones. or at this moment you see we have you know to cross in front of one is in so we have to read and it can check there also 12345 of the 4. currently the company has a little more than 200 stations around china most of them in big cities or alongside highways with an eye on people making long distance trips for shorter journeys cars can be refueled of charging stations the batteries. up takes less

than 10 minutes it's fully automated with the empty unit being removed and replaced with a new one in a procedure that no supercharger no matter how fast can compete with. new also offers its batteries on a rental basis which allows customers to avoid the financial risk of a battery defect or failure. or meo to say we have a number of algorithms to analyze the batteries help if a battery is not in good condition it's withdrawn from the cycle that's an advantage of our swap system we can guarantee our customers that they will always have a healthy battery in their car. kind of the ends but longer trips within china still need to be carefully planned and broken down into stages so as not to exceed the given range swamp stations in rural areas are few and far between. in january functional instead embarked on an adventurous 11 day trek from his current

residence in eastern china to the tibetan plateau in the west of the country covering over 6000 kilometers. this is actually had a street already 4300 meter height and one morning we have some snow and ice on the road it is so beautiful. and up here to the neo did just fine showing state had discussed his plans beforehand with the company and wherever he needed to charge up they have a team to help out something that really impressed the german engineer. a level of service in line with neil's ambitious goal to become the company with the highest customer satisfaction worldwide in the automotive industry. even in the night to us that people always have some people from service they can get. some support. by. it's faithful as many fans are the company wants to

see a lot more of them where. the new york community is getting bigger and bigger last year we added 43728 new car owners in total we've already exceeded 75000. that said the numbers aren't here that impressive for a market that sells more than $20000000.00 cars a year even looking at the $1300000.00 new electric cars sold in china any willy neo is a minor player. sluggish sales almost led the company to bankruptcy 2 years ago prevented only by a government bailout. plan and you know time we were facing the most complicated situation that a start of can face and we're grateful to our users for standing with us and difficult times function. there's also been technical setbacks one time a neo was stuck in the middle of a road in downtown beijing due to an untimely system update a p.r.

disaster and there's another issue. everything here is in chinese but it does give me the opportunity to learn to use more and because i always learning but doing what. i say now i own this car 2 years and. still have a purpose to build it through everything it is going through a system it's a little bit for. me also cites a few other minor flaws such as the air conditioning controls but overall he is very much a satisfied meal user. the company is now planning to expand into europe probably 1st in norway and then to bigger countries this car has. all. these to be successful german i'm a german is you know i consider this car. groove to you. this is one

of the best ever drove. the best one. and once the car goes on sale in europe function might finally get his english touchscreen display. in europe will be able to buy our cars by the end of 2021. euro and then the world's william levy has high hopes for the new g.t. 7 a 1000 kilometer range together with a solid state battery winning combination that no other electric car can currently match.

ball will see 40 reach the 1st ever. thanks the 40 recharge steps into a 2nd one that is already heavily crowded so walk it off. the competitive is what i want to check out today 1st up how does it fare in terms of battery and range. features 78. 75 you know what they can effectively be used. for 114. and if you mostly dry in the city you will get even. 500. also what i experienced during my drive here with it is among the top competitors in that segment. that compares favorably with the 262320 kilometers reached by other electric su. or opel.

to match that 500 figure you have to move up to bigger models like the mercedes key q.c. and b w i t 4. so what about the out for the car to one of the front one of the $200.00 false. the car can make the best from 0 to 100. 5 seconds sounds good on paper it's even better. than crazy. speed up 180. of course to preserve. its. philosophy and. be able to go foster than 180. dance for safety reasons speaking of which not so long ago the stereotype of it was a geography teachers car so if you were going to have

a crash there was no better car to be and then of all. safety has been paramount for the swedish company ever since its debut model in 1927 and that sterling reputation has been maintained over the decades. but with cars growing in size from one generation to the next they also grew in weight and speed. so with road safety still a priority volvo boldly announced that all its 2021 model year cars will have a top speed limited to 180 kilometers per hour. those are also equipped with the latest assist technologies to help prevent accidents from happening in the 1st place. back to our test the x e 40 can be recharged at a peak rate of $150.00 kilowatts with 40 minutes sufficient to reach 80 percent of capacity. many rivals struggle to charge. just 100 kilowatts on the inside you see

. the polls also peaches the same google based infotainment system which is very nice. and that similarity is no coincidence pollstar was volvo's in house tuning on before becoming a separate brand 27 team that sent the x c 4060 or design bears no relation to that of the polls. while most plan is to sell 1000000 electrified media killed by 2025 might sound like an ambitious plan at 1st glance the counseling goal if you can see that. this just means they cost but also hybrid cars that can drive electric. but volvo's environmental commitment is not just limited to. the swedish car maker has set itself a target of becoming c o 2 mutual by 2040. by the history.

of the production side we intend to reduce the global supply chain and c o 2 emissions by a quarter plus by then our cars are said to have a 25 percent share of recycled materials adding all that together by 2025 we plan to have a 25 percent reduction in c o 2 emissions across all our operations that stuff that that's. what's going to. another part of that climate plan is shifting its entire production to electric cars by 2030 and a further bonus here is that most e-cards have minimal knowing. what i like about the x e 40 recharge it's a pretty sight on the car on the interior another great thing with these cars is the brake energy recuperation. c 40 recharge each one if you want if you can activate it by of them. if you take.

very much. but not all cars out there come with such an effective energy recovery. it takes a few minutes to get used to usually if you approach it. then you will take your foot off the gas and. if you completely take your foot off the pedal. brake and if you do. even make it to the. way before. it's a feature that you rivals to the x.c. 40 can offer. by the way. well. if you take your foot off the pedal most other cars will keep rolling along at around 7 kilometers an hour always been a car making the produced. jury

a car. you can also buy the price. you get. and i have to admit it is really driving in here. just. as a fantastic range and a high charging speed it also has an extremely quiet interior and pretty sporty acceleration on the downside the relatively high price tag and the cap on the speed of the pole star $2.00 for example can go up to 205 kilometers per hour with the same power train. models top 250.

racing along country roads at 111 kilometers an hour in the world's fastest bat. china from britain set a new world record in 2008 doing things he specializes in the construction of completely crazy cars. anything is possible i do like exploring stuff i'm very curious about how things work and i really really do love sort of dragging things together that shouldn't be together could i make a collar was nothing like a cop and still be street legal. or show you the some of the control of the siri will inspire conventional and then you get your indicator of stuff your line and your whole as well as along here so everything is nice and close easy to get hold of he's made it into the guinness world records 8 times. i guess nobody else is really doing that so it's quite nice to be in a strange space but it is also about pushing the limits and just seeing how far you

can take that and i think you know that's really where i guess some of the record started to come in and it was sort of the safe the record was just they treated us well represented to me and said you know we did you know that i did 7 miles i want to say there is a war with. the soap was steered by a pizza pan and braked with a beer can it's gas pedal is knee operated and china earned his 1st world record when he drove the sofa around a track at a motor show and a spectator time tim. i set the record boss's furniture about 20 years ago at 9098 and it was. kind of was that the whole thing in motion i'm glad you got one record a guinness world record isn't enough you need to have lots of them or start building crazy cars and getting crazy records. like the world's fastest motorized bathroom it's fixtures and fittings are attached to a motorcycle frame when. comes to creating new forms of mobility china likes to

break with convention and simply let his imagination run wild creations like his mobile orange are the result he's constantly updating it. with the green zoo. and actually get a pretty. little bit of sense as well maybe with a magic. jelly bean and given that really nice going to orange. engineering product design he became famous as a car expert on a british t.v. show and for over 2 decades he's been constructing his machine near london by hand so this is a. this is money that most of. the night i screamed on the walls for the room was framed by his latest record pushing the all electric vehicle to a top speed of $100.00 in 1000 kilometers per hour wasn't a problem but there were

a few additional challenges. you know quite a few rules of the guinness put down and then also portugal to serve ice cream before and after the event and that was really the nub of the problem. and that's because he had to develop a new technology to allow his ice cream machine to run on battery power rather than diesel he's patented his cream ice cream machine and now it's being employed in conventional ice cream trucks in the meantime his record has now been broken but his electric ice cream van project still gives him the drive to do more. change the world and make it a better place i mean who wants to feel him so there are right now i'm in the guinness world record thing is fun but there is now there's always been an engineering purpose behind it that's part of the challenge. to do stuff for fun but at the same time has a 2nd or 3rd purpose as well i think really that's really where this is going. are

you going to do stuff because of music people that are hostile to a point. china could provide valuable impetus for new kinds of mobility the record breaking revel is used to getting things moving even things that normally stay put . and we'll be getting things moving again with more revolutionary mobility next week on read the full.
