d, w ah, a there, i'm david and this is climate change brags, it's sex, happiness in 3 books. this is the book for you. you'll get smarter for free, didn't you? books on you. so we are living during the most extraordinary time in the history of transport. we'll go pull the electric with rev the auto and

mobility show by german and 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 indonesia. 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 i think that that i think i think lab and a fisherman in kenya who rents and 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 electron, he had

a question. then if the press to pays 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 plays jan's. welcome to the raft. check. we're in l. a. 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 for the eva, 2 platform. and today, we'll show you the y'all, 2nd, we go on the evil to that form for misuse. haga will be driving, i'm on the passenger seat, and i 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 a specific platform, which one is that? that's our even to architecture, that serve purpose design, electric vehicle architecture and at the introduce for 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 variants 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 $350.00 plus the e q e $350.00 plus. it gets a 2215 kilowatts, and 530 newton meters and re usa 10 monte battery forever, 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 chewy. but if needs must, it's an option that still back with . no, it gets here right here is view of where we are driving. what is that?

what 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 traffic lights, it's quite easy to, to see the traffic lights in the 1st row with 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 q s the roundish front 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. that screen, as far as i heard in the passenger, is able to watch videos yet if you are, we are quite proud of. we have 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 the media system. and because it's,

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 mr. re camera indicates if the driver's looking outside on this screen or the mirror and only if he look at the screen itself, it says it's going to have been hitting the faded out. yeah. so you see the difference between when you look at that screen. busy or at the mirror? no, no, we drive. you can see the video. if i look at the video off the some seconds ago faded. alright, nonsense can hit. and if i go with my ice stretch straight, it has all to play and it starts playing again. it's a cool feature. yeah, definitely. i mean it's tough. i really am 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 virgin mo, feature as standards, 12.9 inch touch screen and know half and get display they can quickly talk about the different to drive mold. so there are different kinds of sounds that you can make. the vehicle sound different? yeah. as long as the sign and drive in is an advantage of an e v. a lot of customer requested to have emotion, some emotion sounds within the vehicle. and therefore we incorporated some different zone files or sound words sonic experiences. so we've got the, the civil base is acoustic greeting and engine solids. in

a pre slide away we've got the 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 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 good reminds me a little bit of a i don't know. maybe a lie in roaring somewhere in the distance. it's avoiding paul's 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 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's a different thing. it's during the development phase, it was very important to have a good we call it and the age noise. vibration option is best then within the week of but you don't have the covering noise of the combustion engine itself so, so we have to bring new technologies, bring phones with anybody in white 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 where to saw dislike and that we had 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 cabin. 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 an heat pump. and with this, with the system be 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 dr style course and on your h make settings are 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 onboarding navigation for the classic navigation itself. so because someone 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? 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'd want of r 2 stops, the correlation is done. i'll forward with the machine is 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 it only doesn't save you time, but it's also good for the battery life. i'd imagine. yes, yes. there would also be an a pre con preconditioning. so if he had on 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 state to get shot. yes, yes. did you get it fast charging? at least? yeah, in general,

talking about fast charging. everybody's always talking all cock in charge from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes and things like these isn't half charging in general. not as good for the battery life pass, jotting it slowly at the end of the day. it's a, it's a, it's depending on your firm a better management. so it's not right to say that fast judging. 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 already up to 80 percent and use the fast charging up to 100 percent only only a few times. and that helps to have some better read pull, you know, we loved the right come for 10 minutes. is this interior the height to 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 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 work. i think he's got the trust of 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 a total collapse, assisting cars and trucks, particularly crossings that like traffic lights, these police each epoch 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 the zillow. very

young. i'm here from 6 to 8 in the mornings, or the last 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 market 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, $365.00 days a year his team is right here. new members are carefully selected that he needed. it will be there that everyone can come and just work here their money as you like. there's this guy who has a wife he had worked but is now unemployed and needs help. fanny'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 june 80 calls it a day and head spank home. along the way, he picks up his wife from work. now the couple themselves have to face to carter's rush hour. in recent years, traffic jams in indonesia is 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. valid yet there you go. man. though there are times when they're helpful, but there are times when they prioritize the people giving them money and hauled up those who don't. and that causes traffic jams that they say yes, thought the monumental market. that it, that the more bit though, god, that when we don't have any small change in the car,

we won't get the money. manase and they and just cursing us out on the moon. what's the gummed up? i got my younger, i'm michael. i'm glad. 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 that you have no kids or other relatives, but only each other to take care of daddy if you're being taken care of by me, your wife and please listen. my dear ticket. don't just eat a little, take a lot and get your vitamins as well said that you'll stay healthy under business under him, daddy, don't you love me? said m, amenable to navy 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. but he, i know is one of the few fishermen he had 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 read carefully the propeller dublin. so 22 tubes. it might order me get contact with a, a manila this 1st tree all the year.

so removing you to gum cumbersome reviews, one you just do just automatically come up with the fisherman, you so the 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 do the fisherman returned to the yankee nav beach in the town of m. o t. i know shares the proceeds of the catch 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 set. a so bo rents out the motors for around $38.00 euros

a month. the batteries costs $7.00 euros 50 per day, a lot of money for fishermen. here there's a challenge rubric on the guitar lessons for piano, expecting them to the stress, to pay to go past the vessel. so we have to look new for the other success. electric on top of 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, put them back or maybe change something

a component of arranging 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 tamaqua livery, new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the coffee table. in just a few days, they learned the most important thing. the model to my 1st theory then practice on the water to get used to the motel. coach joshua america has been involved since the start and understands what the fishermen need. the company lou lou lou will need to do some modification on only that. he says that the little nobody cover luca, i'll official, man, most of them try to go find the stance

a. so beau is working to improve the situation that 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 door, so we might, we mimic the current operations of our customers. but if um, if a customer to go far, we give them more bodies than we charge this recharge fee, but, but to lake you won'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 e markets. 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 in e mobility in kenya. the main aim is to organize and lobby urging politicians to promote electric vehicles. people are excited about the mobility, dale 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 than immobility might just as well be another illusion that will struggle. that gets towards around $25000.00 boats out 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 coaches have also declined in recent years. jared ot, i know,

has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors, but t into so bow a still among the few pioneers of mobility in kenya. happy emissions re motoring and see you all next time on red. ah, with
