overlook the job was too focused on selling work. or do you have a lot of it course it will come again next week to hang up a picture this time with his drill. maybe you lie looking forward to seeing you both again. if you next change the. oh oh oh oh. s. kind of count on meet up with johnny found another little at one of the company's kiosks there now 8 of them in paris. it's the perfect place to take a coffee break and get a few things of their chests. i never realized how isolated some clients are especially during lockdown because they didn't you didn't move. didn't you yes it's
4:21 am
a sad outcome for these of you to. i'd say it's quite appalling your. locals directing choirs to the course yeah who runs the kiosk he or she then passes on the work to the self-employed lease. this man's internet isn't working anymore you need to have any modem and stored. here with lulu is like the concierge of all the who is always there to help out the resident. they always have good advice and i knew the right person to go to when problems arose. today makes these important connections and the kiosks are a meeting place for people in the neighborhood. folks also come here just to talk. and it brings back a bit of that aren't i am beyond it's i've lived in this quarter for 50 years and i
4:22 am
think it's restored some of the humanity. but it. we call it johnny isn't surprised by comments like these is the train carpenter ranges continuing education for the initiatives 1100 louis leakey also helps decide who can join the team one criterion is especially important in the. blue attitude. it's about helping people not just about performing the task at hand. we want to give clients more than that the lulu attitude is like a ray of sunshine. and there's the african concept of. i am because we are and that's what lulu is us on that front we're losing because we're part of our parish was one of a part of the population and we're here to help. what is
4:23 am
a bit so it makes sense. pascal lives in a tiny apartment with just 1000 square meters of space he'd rather not show us so we only film one corner of the place over the years the 52 year old has done pretty much everything he's worked as a research a miner and a forklift operator but a few years ago he hit a low point in his life. work for 96 hours at a time until the through march 30 years nonstop with no vacation with. but at some point i just cracked up quickly became depressed. when i heard about lulu very calm and that was a lifesaver i was back in business again there was that. when the pain damage began a year ago pascal volunteered to help people who were at high risk for cave 19.
4:24 am
even though he feared contracting the virus himself. remote rivers mostly depressed people to join the 1st lockdown i only went on foot. i didn't take public transport a toll. i wanted to keep the risk of infection to a minimum for myself and all of the people who delivered things telling. the vulnerable people we visited. with. all of the cell phone that i was walking between 40 and 60 kilometers and i reported it depending on how many people i have to shop for. now pascal is on his way to do some work for not time goldenberg.
4:25 am
now tom has just returned to paris after several years in singapore. welcome very little mark i explained on the phone pascoe doesn't pictures need hanging up but. most of them are in the living room we put them in the right spots. then these kids in shows need putting up one on top of the other board for. the 1st you have to affix the 2 rails on the sides. of the body. and then come the shelves to fit into the rows. and maybe they go in the other way round. the business consultant lacks the time and skills to do the job himself. gives me access to professionals who are better handyman than all of a b.
4:26 am
. they have the right tools and will do the job properly. lose the modern equivalent to the neighbor who loaned you his drill and helps you put up the shelves. he loves this work though he owns just 30 year is an hour before taxes normally a tradesman would get an hourly wage of 100 years it is the hard right few for night time it's perfect for. the next day cantars on his way to see another regular customer 74 year old anita munis. pirlo can't. how you walk with you she was like we're live and then go wash your hands. or to live in minot. contact has been helping anita with e-mails and correspondence with the authorities
4:27 am
since her husband died last year now it's about selling his car. oh and. i just got an email from andy. we put about the card about who's card has the man send me something or scream or were you. sure that this man only says they can just tell me i don't have a document. right it's just so you know what's up can turn was my savior and now he's a person who's become part of my life. back to the most. of his work on one because both ways i stop by regularly and i always look forward to it also to drinking tea together of not talking about things other than
4:28 am
computers with him until the 1st who could not and i think it's a ritual they wouldn't want to do with out here thanks anita. heart element yes we're on some rogue no hostility bit then it'll be fine just who is helping hear hear. so. we lose almost risking people in certain situations but without knowing it they actually give us more than we give them. forgotten there was this human aspect to life. it's not just about money. most of all it's about what you can give to others that makes you feel good. and make sure realize you're not alone.

4:31 am
the electric good. man about. rev the auto when mobility show. 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. crazy. from the maverick to simply mad machines vehicles of the unconventional variety is just noise for fun but i think really that's really where it is going when you go to do stop the music before as we hope you will too let's go crazy.
4:32 am
and new e-card that is throwing down the gauntlet to the likes of tesla and porsche on a quest to conquer the world. the neo e.t. 7 is a sports sedan of the superdome live a variety of 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 think it's a 2nd living room with cutting edge technology. and to a big factor in those plans it's a combination of digital tech artificial intelligence and a committed community. told you i'd like
4:33 am
a futuristic aspect and the design of all very true it's a leading global brand in electric vehicles all their songs we hope to launch in europe as well soon as you walked. 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. of. this car is the purest example yet of the futurist design. tesla neo is targeting young tech savvy urbanites and building an entire community. around its brand. always those we are new drivers we're part of the neo family. it's made in china it's chinese people who are building neo cars which. i know day is an annual extravaganza open to all car owners and the company spares no
4:34 am
expense recruiting some of china's biggest celebrities for the event like rock 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 website for trading used cars the key to his success was being more innovative and wiser to developments than the competition neo stocks soared over the course of 2020 as did that of tesla. the story of william lee is similar to that of mosque the founder of his american rival. more so than established carmakers
4:35 am
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 that compared to tesla neo is a brand that really understands chinese people. club members organize outings and charity events and 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 queries are answered by the c.e.o. himself. china's home to the world's biggest market for electric cars and one boosted by government subsidies in the mud you'll you'll get this shit the i chose it because it's more enjoyable to drive. you don't have to worry about
4:36 am
anything that are built in neo software enables users to link up with popular apps like we chat and the digital assistant know me like i'll be. back over there 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 the creative and upbeat lifestyle. to go some in live. trucks lunched it is a german engineer now based in china he's the chief of technology at zen on automation ensuite shows and was one of neo's 1st customers. for 2 years now he's been driving an e.s.a. 8 china's 1st premium as. for this
4:37 am
call it's powered 650 p. called pole it's actually. 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 song. it's state battery with 150 kilowatt hours in the biggest version. of 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 portends
4:38 am
a lot of demand that our main competitors for now are 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 intelligent systems interior design the digital experience autonomous driving features or our service quality. i think we're very competitive on all fronts. those are your forgot it's in the heels of. the new 7 is not yet available for testing but conch shell instead treats us to a sneak preview in his 2 year old e s 8 it already has some of the same autonomy as driving features like main keeping assist technology that enjoys state subsidies as does the infrastructure. to use it always and for sure will rule if necessary but i know what is possible so i can already see when it's
4:39 am
a little bit tricky. never look really. carefully you know we've changed expressway so you're not doing anything everything for weather my feet on the pedal it's normal to have your. god look a little prick. but for electric car makers range remains the biggest challenge and this is where the chinese company has found a neat solution and able in customers to swap empty batteries for full ones. all right this moment you see we have you had to cross in front of one is in so we have to read in the contract they're also 12344. currently the company has a little more than 200 swat stations around china most of them in big cities or
4:40 am
alongside highways with an eye on people making long distance trips for shorter journeys cars can be refueled and charging stations the battery swap 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 super charger 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. 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 so the color 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
4:41 am
january functionally 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 it is street already 4300 meter height and one morning we have some snow and ice on the road. and up here to the neo did just fine she mentioned 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 meals ambitious goal to become the company with the highest customer satisfaction worldwide in the automotive industry.
4:42 am
even in the night to us the people they always have some people from the service they can give you some support. but as faithful as many fans are the company wants to see a lot more of them but. 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 are actually have 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 annually neo is a minor player. sluggish sales almost led the company to bankruptcy 2 years ago prevented only by a government bailout. plan and. 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
4:43 am
difficult times fun to watch. their chance of in 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 in. everything there is in chinese but it does give me the opportunity to learn to use more and the battle because i always learning but doing what. i think knowing is called 2 years and. still have a group has a book if you have it is hard to resist it's a little bit funny. he 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. its to
4:44 am
be successful in germany i'm a german engineer i can see. the roof to us. this is one of the best because i never drove the. you know during the best work. and once the car goes on sale in europe function might finally get his english touchscreen display. when i believe customers in europe will be able to buy our cars by the end of 2021 and europe and then the world's william levy has high hopes for the neo e.g. 781000 kilometer range together with a solid state battery a winning combination that no other electric car can currently match.
4:45 am
today paul will see 40 recharges the 1st ever fully electric paul volt. sexy 40 recharge steps into a segment that is already heavily crowded so walking it off or to stand out from the compared to what i want to check out today 1st up how does it fare in terms of battery and. we call features 78. 75 get away. they can effectively be used. 414. and if you mostly dry in the city you will get even. 500. also experienced during my drive here. it is.
4:46 am
in that segment. that compares favorably with the 262320 kilometers reached by other electric s.u.v.s. or opel. to match that 500 figure you have to move to bigger models like the mercedes q.c. and. so what about the. one at the front one of the $200.00. the car can make that. sounds good on paper even better. and. speed 180. of course to preserve. it's. the. be able to go far then 180. speaking of
4:47 am
which not so long ago the stereotype of geography teachers cars so if you were going to have a crash there was no better car to be and. 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. it's 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
4:48 am
a peak rate of $150.00 kilowatts with 40 minutes sufficient to reach 80 percent of capacity. many rivals struggle to charge with just $100.00 kilowatts means i usually see this with the poles to also peaches the same google based infotainment system which is very nice. and that similarity is no coincidence pollstar was told those in house tuning on before becoming a separate brand 2017 that said the x e 4060 are designed bears no relation to that of the poles. while most plan is to sell 1000000 electrified by 2025 what might sound like an ambitious plan at 1st glance becomes the goal if you can see. that this does not only mean for cost but also a hybrid car that can drive it. but volvo's environmental commitment is not just
4:49 am
limited to. the swedish carmaker has set itself a target of becoming c o 2 neutral by 2040. by the history. of this 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 at stuff that that suits my own shows and from time to what's the. another part of the climate plan is shifting its entire production to electric cars by 2030 and a further. most minimal. car on the interior another great thing with the cars is the brake energy recuperation
4:50 am
. right here and if you take you. very much. but not all cars out there come with such an effective energy recovery. it takes a few minutes to get used to because usually if you approach. the gas and. if you take your. break. even make it to the. way before. it's a feature that you rivals to the x.e. 40 can offer. by the way.
4:51 am
stand still 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 and you can also buy the price. you get. and i have to admit. driving in here. just. fantastic. at a high charging speed it also has an extremely quiet interior and pretty sporty acceleration on the downside the relatively high price tag and a cap on the speed of the pole star 2 for example can go up to 205 kilometers per hour with the same power train while some other volvo models topped out at $250.00
4:52 am
. 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 they shouldn't be together could i make a car that was nothing like a car but still be street legal. or say that some of the control of the serial will spot conventional and then you've got you know indicator of stuff you're lying on the whole one as well as along here so everything is nice and climbs easy to get hold of he's made it into the guinness
4:53 am
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's also about pushing the limits and it just seeing how far you can take that and i think you know that's really where i guess some of the records started to come in and i was sort of the social wrecker was just naturally curious were represented to me and said you know we did you know that i see 7 miles i want to say 30 is a world record and. the soap was steered by a pizza pan and braked with a. gas pedal his knee operated china earned his 1st world. when he drove the sofa around a track at a motor show and a spectator time 10. or so. like
4:54 am
the world's fastest motorized bathroom it's fixtures and fittings are attached to a motorcycle frame when it 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. is a. really nice. engineering product he became famous as a car expert on a british t.v. show and. he's been constructing his mad machine near london. so this is a. this is money that most of us care. for matt i screamed on this with
4:55 am
the word was printed on 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. quite a few rules of the dinners. and then also culture through the screen before and after the event and that was really the nub of the problem. that's because he had to develop a new technology to allow his face cream machine to run on battery power rather than diesel he's patented his cream ice cream machine and now it's being in. income tensional 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 like actually change the world and make it a better place i mean who wants to use all fields of their eyes get right arm into the guinness world record thing is fun but there is now there's always been an engineering purpose behind it not part of the challenge it's just nice to do stuff
4:56 am
for fun but at the same time a has a 2nd or 3rd purpose as well i think really that's really where this is going and he got to do stuff because amuses people but one has to have a point. and china could provide valuable impetus for new kinds of mobility the record breaking rebel 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 red.
4:57 am
