the w o live and on demand content in language courses with video and audio. any time anywhere. the d w media center with we are living during the most extraordinary time in the history of transport will go fully electric with rev the auto and

mobility show a german in l. a. getting a sneak preview of the new all electric edition of the mercedes e class. the polio will be driving. i'm on the passenger seat. and i'd say, let's go head indonesian men who directs traffic at a busy intersection in jakarta, despite being physically disabled. having a hearing impairment and being unable to speak these the family bread winner. i think that yeah, i think i think that. yeah. i think i think that and a fisherman in kenya who rents an 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 expecting. then if the press to pace,

exceptional individuals and mobility solutions right now on red b e q e is the latest fully electric car from mercedes benz and the 0 emission alternative to the e class plate is jan's. welcome to the ref. jag we are in ela, california today to drive the all new e q u, and will me, is holger. ha, that made it to route to south feel viewers. yeah. hello, my name hall grants, mom, i'm the technical project manager will be able to platform. and today we'll show you the q y'all. second, we go on the evil to that form for me to use. both haga will 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 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 specific platform, which one is that that's our even to architecture that serve purpose design, electric vehicle architecture that me introduce the e q as last year. the h u. s. is the fully electric s class alternative with a range of up to 780 kilometers. prices for the flagship muddled started around $98000.00 heroes in europe. the. he's a 2nd vehicle on this architecture using batteries, electron drive drains, or components of this evil 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. easy,

ah, so what are we talking about? what kind of power puts do we have in that car? we are here right now in the 350 plus the 2 e 350 plus. it gets a $2215.00 kilowatts and 530 newton meters and re usa, 10 laundry battery for the one with 90.6 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 q e. but if needs must, it's an option that still back with no because he right here is view of where we are driving. what is so what do we see

here? and that's all a grand 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 traffic lights, it's quite easy to, to see the traffic lights in the 1st row. trivializes 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 amex assistant that we also incorporated or ensuring use with the each year . so we've got 3 screens, a lay of glass of 1.41 meter size.

so it's got a passenger display, we can activate 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 instance, or go with those. and 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 get new and we are quite proud of. we just 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 of it's not

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 a stairway camera indicates if the drive was looking outside on this screen. or the mirror and only if he look at the screen itself, it says it's going to put it in his ear faded out to what you see. the difference between whether you look at that screen. busy or mirror? no, no, we drive. you can see the video. if i look at the video, often some seconds it will shaded. oh 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 rely on because 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 they can quickly talk about the different to drive load. so there are different kinds of sounds that you can make the legal sound different. yeah. as long as the sign on dr is in is an advantage of an evie, a lot of customer requested to have emotions, some emotion sounds within the vehicle. and therefore we incorporated some difference if is on files or us sound word sonic experiences. so we've got the civil base, it has it acoustic greeting and engine sal, and in

a hurry slide away, we've got that flux, it's a more technology sounds, or we also hear some sounds. 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 will be, will be played. and we've got the growing pulse of quite expressive songs. sound the 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 else is 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 good reminds me a little bit. um i don't know, maybe a lie. busy roaring somewhere in the distance, it's avoiding paul's song. yeah. yeah. i can definitely tell other name comes from

i mean i, i always like the silence of a car and then also the experience in that car right here. i guess also it's easier to achieve such a siren call with an electric car as it's a different thing. it's during the development phase, it was very important to have a good, we call it and the age moist vibration option is a standard 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 a wrong 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 this song dislike and that we can't go without having a covering noise off the, i see the lack of an icy 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, 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 in the heat pump. and with this, with the system be real good, very good results in terms of range. so there are different tests, different temperatures, different settings of the control, and therefore you can get different results depending on your drive style course on, on your h, make setting. so good to know. interesting. so now you have this sort of special which calculation in the car? does that work? so well, we use an ongoing navigation, fully dressing litigation itself. so the customer gets the driver gets on the direction to drive off the a few seconds as you saw before. so if i stand anywhere and have to design go left, go right, then 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 he wants to, over 2 stops, that correlation is done. i'll forward with them to see this me 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 the safety time, but it's also good for the battery life. i'd imagine. yes, there would also be in a pre con preconditioning. so if you had some charging stop, 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 stay to get shot. yes. yes. did 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 30 minutes and things like these isn't half charging in general. not as good for the battery life, as jotting it slowly at 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, foss charging, it's always good for the battery doesn't, right? so i guess you need to, the customer need, i need the 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 foss, judging up to 100 percent only only a few times. and that helps house about

a hole in all we loved the right comfort and the noises 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 a bargain. me . managing this intersection in jakarta, takes courage and experience. and you need, he has plenty of both 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 worked. 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 disabled her son couldn't talk, didn't go 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 crossings at lack traffic lights. 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 drivers. i got on this is that

a young man here from $6.00 to $8.00 in the mornings, or about 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. well, he did out, everyone can come and just work here. their money is he like there's this guy who has a wife, he had worked but is now unemployed and needs help. danny'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 pm. and after 8 hours working the traffic jeanine, he calls it a day and head back home. along the way he picks up his wife from work. now the couple themselves have to face to cart is rush hour in recent years, traffic jams and indonesia 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. alexander? oh man, oh, there are times when they're helpful. there are times when they prioritize the people giving them money and hauled up those who don't. and that causes traffic jams that the visit. yes, bob, the monumental, unwanted ban. the more bit,

oh god that when we don't have any small change in the car the lot we won't give them money mcgaffey and they ended up cursing us out. the move up the gummed up. i got a younger, i'm like, oh, i thought of course there are others who don't do that when they receive no money. hippo ah, sadly because it wouldn't be got bob. bob back at you ladies. 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. my dear ticket. don't just eat a little, take a lot, get your vitamins as well said that you'll stay healthy under additional data. don't you love me fellow

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 order me get contact with

a manila with a string all the gear. so removing you to have gum cumbersome reviews, one just due to just automatic 3rd come up with the fishermen. use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cost. they're 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 the freshly charged that 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 fishermen. here, luca challenge with a gun ago, let's go now what we are expecting them to the 1st page or to go potty special. so we are looking for the other success microphone pick up. the dutch start up a 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, pull them back, or maybe change something, a component of agent for that market. 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 for 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 fisherman need. the company lou lou lou will need to to do some modification only the recess of that. the little

nobody cover. luka, our fisherman, most of them tried to go find the stance a so bo, 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 to will fall, we give them more bodies, then we charge this recharge fee. but, but to lake you want to 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 in 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 immobility, 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 the value to the customer to be affordable than immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00 boats around 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 light and back catch close. his head also declined in recent years . jared, utter know his already persuaded some other fisherman to switch to electric motors . but he, in to so bow a still among the few pioneers of mobility in kenya, happy emissions re motoring and see you all next time on, read. ah, [000:00:00;00]
