how you got some hot tips for your bucket list? ah, magic corner check hot spot for food, chair, and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off we go with with we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport pull go, pull the electric with rev the auto and mobility
9:31 am
show a german in l a. getting a sneak preview of the new all electric edition of the mercedes e class. the policy 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 i yeah. i think i think that yeah, that i think i think that 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. he had a question,
9:32 am
then if the press to pay 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. ladies 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 holligan's, mom, i'm the technical project manager for the able to platform. and today we'll show you the y'all, 2nd, we go on the evil to platform for me to use both hog. 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,
9:33 am
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 while on earth pacific platform, which one is that that's our even to architecture, that serve purpose design, electric vehicle architecture that be introduced for the e q as last year. the e q s is the fully electric s class alternative with a range of up to 780 kilometers. prices for the flagship muddled started around 98000 years in europe. the. he's a 2nd vehicle on this architecture using our batteries, electric 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,
9:34 am
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 on 2215 kilowatts and 530 newton meters. and we use a 10 laundry battery for everyone 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, because here right here is view of where we are driving. what is?
9:35 am
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. now 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 . we also incorporated or ensure and used with the each year. so we've got 3 screens, a layoff glass of 1.41 meter size.
9:36 am
so it's got a passenger display, we can activate that one. it's got the center 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. busy 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 a media system. and because of,
9:37 am
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 the stairway camera indicates if the driver's looking outside on this screen or at the mirror. and only if he look at the screen itself. it says it's going to dallas. yeah. so 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 off some seconds it will shaded. oh yeah, right now. and if i could go with my eyes straight straight as i was playing and it starts playing again. it's a cool feature. yeah, definitely. i mean it's stuff i rely on because i, i remember my sister. she used to get sick when she looked down to display while
9:38 am
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 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 legal sound different. yeah, yeah. as long as the sign and drive is 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 difference is on files or sound words sonic experiences. so we've got the, the civil base, it adds it caustic, a greeting, engine, sal, and in
9:39 am
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 storm charging for incense. and also while driving, if you accelerate decelerate, different songs will be, will, will be played and we've got the growing pulse, quite expressive songs, sound world where he a little bit more. also if you go in sport and at the sound is much more present and bring some emotion to detroit. much more else is a 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 of orange calls song. yeah. yeah, i can definitely tell other name comes from
9:40 am
i mean 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 silent 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 to be call it and the age noise, vibration, harshness, best and within the vehicle. but you don't have the covering noise of the combustion engine itself. so so we have to bring new technologies, bring foams within the body and white structure. we have him. 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
9:41 am
a point song dislike and that we 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 acre. thank you. 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 e t s. and the battery system into the heating system of the, of the kevin. and therefore we saw 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 didn't saw the advantage of and heat pump. and with this,
9:42 am
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 it depending on your dr. style source on, on your h make setting. so good to know. interesting. so now you have this sort of special rule which calculation in the car, does that work? so well, we use an ongoing navigation for the classic navigation 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
9:43 am
if you need one stop or 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 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 pre con preconditioning. so if you had some charging stop, then the batteries is preconditioned. so it gets heated or it's cooled depending on the state of the battery. so it's an ideal state to get shot. yes,
9:44 am
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 cost charging in general. not as good for the battery life as charging 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 save the fast 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 fast charging up to 100 percent only only a few times. and that helps house about
9:45 am
a hole in all we loved the right comfort and the noises interior. the hyper 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 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,
9:46 am
he relies on his wife to communicate, blah, blah, blah, blah. thank god, he has work. i think he's got the trusted the police to he was even given a uniform light, 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 co ops assisting cars and trucks particularly crossings that like 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. as long as the lead that
9:47 am
a young man here from 6 to 8 in the mornings or not 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 goodbye 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 again, it will be that he did out. everyone can come and just work here. pneumonia. he like there's this guy who has a wife, he had work but is now unemployed and needs help me. danny's welcome to work here.
9:48 am
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 head back home. along the way he picks up his wife from work. now the couple themselves have to face to card as 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 chic but others disagree. blocked out alexandria. oh man. oh, 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 this is cynthia thought the monumental, unwanted,
9:49 am
that the more beautiful god that when we don't have any small change in the car and we won't give them money manase and they end up cursing us out on the moon. what the gum doubling up? i younger i'm like it. of course there are others who don't do that when they receive no money. hippo ah, sadly because it wouldn't be forgot, blah blah, back at you ladies. house. his wife sitina has turned the days. earnings into a nice dinner but 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, please listen. my dear dick don't just see to little take a lot, get your vitamins as well said that you'll stay healthy this month. i have dated. don't you love me? amenable geneva
9:50 am
. he 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 be careful with the propeller dublin. so when it rotates, it light order, me get contact with a,
9:51 am
a manila with a string, all the gear. so removing you to gum cumbersome reviews. one, you just do just automatic that 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 a freshly charged set. a so bo rents out the motors for around $38.00 to euros
9:52 am
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 lesson plan. now what we are expecting them to the 1st page to go possible. sure. so we have to look before the advocacy microphone paper. 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 their technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, we have to,
9:53 am
we have to send out as to what to go, pull 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 or in the locker room, every 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 money 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, to do some modification on only the list as of that,
9:54 am
the little nobody cover, alaska, our fishermen, most of them tried to go find the stars and so bo 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 these like unbelief bodies will make them more duleigh. so the dorsal we much, we mimic the current operations of or customers. but if um, if a customer to go far, we give them more bodies, then we tried 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 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,
9:55 am
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 a 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 group struggle that gets towards around $25000.00 boats around on lake victoria, every day, many of them belong to kenyan fishermen who use combustion engines, which pollute the late can't harm the fish population. often the fishermen only get
9:56 am
small silver sit printed the leg and that coaches have also declined in recent years. jared, otto 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 all in read. ah, with
