in syria ah insights into the isolated world of radical islamists a film about family, faith, masculinity of fathers and sons starts april 16th on d, w. ah. so we are living during the most extraordinary times in the history of transport. we'll go for the electric with rev the auto and

mobility show like german l a. getting a sneak preview of the new all electric edition of the mercedes e class. to paula will be driving. i'm on the passenger seat and i'd say, let's go. head indonesian men who direct traffic at a busy intersection in jakarta, despite being physically disabled, having a hearing impairment, and being unable to speak to these the family breadwinner. i think i think that i think i think that and a fisherman in kenya who rein sent up market electric motor for his boat doing his bit to limit pollution on lake victoria. that's a challenge if we can get her left or if you had a quick thing,

then you could just press to page exceptional individuals and mobility solutions right now on read the e q e is the latest fully electric car from miss eighties, bands and the 0 mission alternatives to the e class, plays jan's wallack out until the raft check. we're in l. a. california today to drive the all new e q u and will me, is holger. all that made introduce yourself to your viewers. yeah. hello. my name holligan's mom, i'm the technical project manager for the eva to platform and today we'll show you the e q y'all. second, we go on the evil to that form for me to dispense all go, we'll be driving. i'm on the passenger seat and i'll say, let's go, let's go with the e q e is not yet on the market, which is why we can't take to the wheel of one of our own yet. it's set to hit the

streets in summer 2022. the car is the 2nd one on earth pacific platform, which one is that that's our even to architecture that serve purpose design, electric, legal architecture and at the introduce the e q as last year beat us is the fully electric s. castle tentative with a range of up to 780 kilometers. prices for the flagship muddled, started around 98000 years in europe. the keys, the 2nd vehicle on this architecture, using our batteries. electric drive drains are components of this eva to architecture. the modular architecture is tailored to the electric drive train throughout the e q series, enabling a range of vehicle variance from the dance and compact cars to su vs.

so what are we talking about? what kind of a power approach do we have in that car? we are here right now in the $350.00 plus the 2 e $350.00 plus. it gets on to sell 215 kilowatts, and 530 newton meters and re sir 10 wandering battery forever with 94 and 6 kilowatt hours. that's. that's good. for 6, up to 660 kilometers, according to w l t p. as yet, there are no official plans to introduce smaller or bigger battery packs to be e q e. that's if needs must. it's an option that still back with . no, because he right here is a view of where we are driving. what is that?

what do we see here? and that's all amanda augmented reality news. so s, as also i see in the head of display, we see the arrows that indicates the direction to drive. oh, we see the, the traffic lights, it's quite easy to, to see the traffic lights in the 1st row of travelers is much more easy to see here than, than looking outside. visually there's no denying that the e q e is a smaller version of the u. s. the roundish fronts might not be the most appealing out there, but it definitely delivers a good drag coefficient, which translates into lower consumption and better range. be interior optionally features the height the screen familiar from the us. so it's all new. i mean assistant that we also incorporate or ensuring use with the each year. so we've got 3 screens, a lay of glass of 1.4 once meters size.

so we've got a passenger display, we connect to weigh that one. it's got the central display in the instrument cluster, and we call it the serial layer concept. so you don't have to leave the navigation screen. you see always to navigation than you can switch for, for your phones. for then, sir, go with those modules. artificial intelligence will help the system to determine the ideal layouts for the driver's personal preferences. let screen as far as i heard in the passenger, is able to watch videos yet if you are, we are quite proud of. we used to use a feature that there are also active content. now it's a possible on the passenger screen. as we have got a video right here, you can watch youtube videos or stream content or videos from and from a media system. and because it's,

it's not on a legally allowed to have dynamic contact while driving. we introduce the antique driver destruction feature that we've got a stairway camera right here in front of the driver. and that's a sarah camera indicates if day drive was looking outside on this screen or at the mirror. and only if he look at the screen itself, he says it's going to put it in the faded out to what you see the difference between whether you look at that screen or mirror. no, no, we drive, you can see the video. if i look at the video, often some seconds ago, faded old. yeah. right now it has been hidden. and if i go with my eyes straight straight, it has all to play and it starts playing again. it's a cool feature. yeah, definitely. i mean it's stuff i really love because i, i remember my sister, she used to get sick when she looked down to display while driving. but tim,

if you don't have that, that's pretty cool. i guess the height the screen is of course optional. the base version will feature as standards 12.9 inch touch screen and no pressing get display. ah ne, can we can quickly talk about the different to drive low tire. there are different kinds of sounds that you can make the vehicle sounds different. yeah. as long as the sign and drive is in is an advantage of an e v. a lot of customer requested to have emotions, some emotion sounds within the vehicle. and therefore we incorporated some difference of zone files. our sound words sonic experiences. so we've got the civil base, it has it acoustic greeting and engine solids in

a very slight way. we've got the flux, it's a more technology songs, or we also hear some songs. if you open up the car, if you close to cory, the start charging for incense. and also while driving, if you accelerate decelerate, different songs they'll be, will, will be played. and we've got the growing pulse of quite expressive songs. sound world where the he a little bit more. also if you go in sport and at the sound is much more present and bring some emotion to, to drive much more elses. i'm more emotion to drive. yeah, i mean, because the acceleration obviously is always very good with electric cars. so people. yeah. yeah, that sounds a reminds me a little bit of um i don't know. maybe a lie and roaring somewhere in the distance. it's avoiding paul song. yeah. yeah, we can definitely tell other name comes from

i mean i, i always like the silence of a car and then also at the experience in that car right here, i guess also it's easier to achieve such a side on call with an electric car as it thing is, it's telling me, develop my face, it was very important to have a good we call it in the age moist vibration harshness best and within the week of but you don't have the covering noise of the the combustion engine itself. so, so we have to bring new technologies, bring phones with anybody in wide structure. we have them. we have covers around the electric motors itself or on the a trick compressor for instance. so that is a lot of work done to cross and end. it was needed to, to come to a point,

but it is saw dislike and that we had go without having a covering noise off the, i see the lack of an ice e internal combustion engine will say, means none of the heat that those engines typically produce but many electric cars feature a heat come to take on the job of warming the interior for the e q 3, we didn't install the heat pump as we realized that is very efficient and much more efficient to bring the heat direct from the test. and the battery system into the heating system of the, of the kevin. and therefore we saw that, that, that one is the more efficient system. and so we decided to go that way. okay, so you're saying this works at least as good as a heat pump. would or even better, not even that of it we, we didn't saw the advantage of an heat pump. and with this,

with the system be good, very good results in terms of range for there are different tests, different temperatures, different settings of the control. and therefore, you can get different results depending on your dr style course on the r h make setting. so good to know. interesting. so now you have this sort of special which calculation in that car does that work? so we use an ongoing navigation, fully pressing litigation itself. so because someone gets the driver gets on the direction to drive off a few seconds as you saw before. so if i stand anywhere and have to design go left, go right? and the navigation is, is there at your fingertips. and then the raw optimization is, is followed for checking the necessary cha ching stops. so

if you need one story, 2 stops, that correlation is done. i'll forward with them to see this immune system and on the traffic is taking into account the current weather of the conditions. so to, to calculate the best route possible with least the time full, full charging to have a very short trip time. yeah, i think that's pretty cool because the only doesn't save you time, but it's also good for the battery life. i'd imagine. yes, there will also be in pre con preconditioning. so if you had them charging stock, then the batteries is preconditioned. so it's heated or it's cooled depending on the state of the battery. so it's an ideal state to get shot. yes, you get it fast charging, at least. yeah, in general,

talking about the fast charging. everybody's always talking to all cock in charge from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes and things like these in half charging, in general. not as good for the battery life. charging it slowly, the end of the day. it's a, it's a, it's depending on your firm a better management. it's not right to say foster watching. it's always look good for the battery doesn't, right? so i guess you need for the gospel need, i need to fast charging for doing long trips. and so it says or to do that, it would help the battery if you go in a daily life, only up to 80 percent and use the foster altering up to 100 percent all year only a few times and. and that helps the house about to read all in all we loved the right

comfort and the noise is interior. the hypoth screen. even though essentially comprising only 3 single screens, is highly functional. and a good locker on the steering and acceleration front. we'll have to wait until we get to drive the car ourselves. prices will start at roughly $70000.00 euros in europe around 20 grand more than a regular e class. so not exactly about managing this intersection in jakarta, takes courage and experience, and unity has plenty of vote for over 2 decades. the 47 year old, also known as daddy has been helping reduce traffic jams in this megacity despite his disability. because his hearing is impaired and he can't speak, he relies on his wife to communicate. i thank

god he has work. i think he's got the trusted the police to he was even given a uniform like the police quality because of his enthusiasm. the police were very happy with daddy last hour because he's alone is a disable person. couldn't talk, didn't get to school, he could only be a traffic director as long as he's got an income with its unpredictable traffic jams, jakarta struggles with congestion. unofficial traffic directors help prevent the total collapse, assisting cars and trucks, particularly at crossings at lack traffic light. these police each epic as they are known, work in exchange for tips from drivers. there are thousands of them across town. and on a good day, people like ro, we mean earn quite good money, even more than a taxi driver. i got on the day that

a young man here from 6 to 8 in the mornings, or lot 2 hours. i make 12 euros after that, i don't do it again unless we take turns even railway crossings are under our control. many police officers are not keen on the job yet. my get by this railway crossing with no automated barrier in south jakarta, has been managed for years by solely a local who's in charge of a group of 12 workers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. his team is right here. new members are carefully selected that he did with it. when he did out, every one can come and just work here. their money as you like. there's this guy who has a wife he had war,

but is now unemployed and needs help main benny's welcome to work here. go to visit . i tell him the rules and the working hours i'm at this job is for locals only. angela edwin, it's 5 p. m, and after 8 hours working the traffic jeanine, he calls it a day and headed back home. on the way he picks up his wife from work. now the couple themselves have to faced your card as rush hour in recent years, traffic jams and indonesia as capital have decreased. jakarta is no longer among the top 10 most congested cities in the world. some se, thanks in part to the police, each epic but others disagree a lot. there you go, man. oh, there are times when there help. there are times when they prioritize the people giving them money and hauled up. those who don't and that causes traffic jams got to visit bob the monumental level market on it. but the more bit,

oh god that when we don't have any small change in the car, we won't give them money mcgaffey. and they ended up cursing us out the move up the gummed up back up again. good by cuba. i thought of course there are others who don't do that when they receive no money. hippo ah, sadly that it got it. yeah. got bye bye back. if you need his house, his wife sitina has turned the days earnings into a nice dinner. the 2 have no kids or other relatives, but only each other to take care of them. daddy, if you're being taken care of by me, your wife, please listen. maybe they could don't just eat a little, take a lot, get your vitamins as well said that you'll stay healthy and additional calendar days. you don't, you left me for them. trinity

hopes to keep working at the intersection for many years to come on like some people who quickly lose their nerve and the traffic he actually likes being in the midst of the chaos and it gives him a good feeling to change things for the better flue, as dusk falls, jared aquino, heads out until late victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe in exhaust fumes. and it's not as noisy either. a t i know is one of the few fishermen here who started using an electric motor last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gears or so. you have to be careful with the propeller dublin. so run it through tapes, it might ought of me get contact with

a manila this as tree all the gear. so removing you'd have gum cumbersome reviews, one just due to just automatic 3rd come up with the fisherman use. so the lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cast their large net. with the light, slowly attracts the fish to the surface. then in the early morning, they pull up the net the nights along on the lake, only after 12 hours did the fisherman return to the yankee nav beach in the town of m a t. i know shares the proceeds of the couch with the other fishermen. he only has the electric motor and batteries on loan from a company called a so bo. every morning he returns the used batteries and in the evening he receives a freshly charged set. a so bo rents out the motors for around $38.00 to euros

a month. the batteries cost $7.00 euros 50 per day, a lot of money for fisherman. here. luca challenge with rico and the girls ran out we had expecting jeremy to the 1st page to go potty special. so we have to look new for the ada success. electric on top of the dutch stone tupper. so bo had to do a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer a 24 hour service. if there are problems on the water, the fishermen have to call their rescue number that we can resolve on encore. but sometimes when the technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to, we have to send out as to what to go, put them back or maybe change something,

a component of agent for that matter. the batteries are equipped with gps trackers, so that the boats can be precisely located in case of emergency. a so bo 1st started testing it system in 2017. but everything was delayed by the pandemic since then. more than 15 fishermen have signed a contract with the company in unluckily, delivery new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the graphic little in just a few days. they learn the most important thing, the modem. first theory, then practice on the water to get used to the motels. coach joshua america has been involved since the start and understands what the fishermen need. the company lou lou lou will need to to do some modification on only that. he says that the little

mortgagee cover luka, our fishermen, most of them try to go find the status a. so beau is working to improve the situation. it's made contact with companies in kenya, and you can do that, refurbish used batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate. in the 2nd life batteries will make them more duleigh. so the dorsal, we much, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if um, if a customer want to go far, we give them more bodies then recharged this recharge fee. but like you don't go far, we give you full batteries. you want to go short distance, we give you one or 2 batteries and you pay for what you of used a. so bow is the 1st company in kenya to invest in e, mobility on water. and one of the few in general on the countries a market, electric mobility is still in its infancy here. there are some electric cars and buses, and even some e bikes. warren, on dan j rides,

one of them. he is a member of a e. m da, an association that provides a platform for the nearly 20 companies investing and e mobility in kenya. the main aim is to organize and lobby urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about the mobility, endo party, to that he brings. it has tremendous environment of benefits, but unless we have the right incentives to allow for the final price and value to the customer to be affordable, then immobility might just as well be another illusion that we've struggled to get stores around 25000 boat surround on lake victoria, every day, many of them belong to canyon fishermen who use combustion engines which pollute the late can't harm the fish population. often the fishermen only get small silver

sit printed the like, and that catch coaches have also declined in recent years. jared altino has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors, but he into so bow a still among the few pioneers of e mobility in kenya. happy admissions, free motoring, and see you all next time all in, read. ah, [000:00:00;00]

with palm trees. see, and then to beaches. spring in my orca. before the holiday crowds take over. luca stig explores the german tourist this favorite island. why is my yorker so popular? that's what i want to find out. to again,
