[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, ah,

the news and a fisherman in kenya who rented up market electric motor for his boat doing his bid

to limit pollution on lake victoria. the challenge if we can get her left. i think dan, it's chris 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 jans, welcome to la rap jag. we are in l. a. california today to drive the all new e q u and will me, is holger hall that made it to route to south feel viewers. yeah. hello. my name holligan's, mom, i'm the technical project manager. i'll be able to platform and today we'll show you the to 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,

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 a specific platform, which one is that? that's our even to architecture, that serve purpose design, electric vehicle architecture to be introduced with e q as last year. the 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. and 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 to f u v. 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 2 e $350.00 plus. it gets a 2215 kilowatts and 530 newton meters. and re usa. 10 won't do a 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 e q, e. but if needs must, it's an option that still back with . no, it gets here right here is

a 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 light. so it's quite easy to, to see the traffic lights in the 1st row with 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. the interior optionally features the height the screen familiar from the us. so it's all new amex assistant that we also incorporate or ensure news with the each year. so we've got 3 screens,

a lay of glass of 1.4 one's me size. so we've got a passenger display, we can activate that one. we've got the signal 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, then you can switch for, for your phones, for instance, or go with those and modules. house official intelligence will help the system to determine the ideal layouts for the drivers has no 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 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 it's not on a legally allowed to have dynamic contact while driving. we introduce the antique driver destruction feature. we've got a stairway camera right here in front of the driver, and that's a survey camera indicates if dan 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 have been hitting the 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 here. 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 ice stretch 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 he took 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 a standards, 12.9 inch touch screen and no puffin get display they can quickly talk about the different to drive mold. so there are different kinds of sounds that you can make. the leak is sound 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 emotion, some emotion sounds within the vehicle and therefore we incorporated some difference if zone files are us, the sound word sonic experiences. so we've got the, the civil base,

it adds it acoustic greeting and engine solids in a very slight way. 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, 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 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 a reminds me a little bit of a i don't know. maybe a lie and roaring somewhere in the distance. it's avoiding paul's song. yeah. yeah,

i can definitely tell whether the name comes from ah, i mean i always like the silence of fall of a car and then also at 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 face, it was very important to have a good we call it and the aged, moist vibration harshness best and within the week of but you don't have the covering noise off the the combustion engine itself. so, so we have to bring new technologies, bring phones within the body and wide structure. we have him. we have covers around the electric motors itself a wrong the h wic 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 so 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 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 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, it isn't, saw the advantage shelven heat pump. and with this, with the system be we get 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 source on, on your 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 on board navigation, fully classic and 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. the navigation is, is there at your fingertips. and then the ra optimization is,

is followed for checking the necessary charging stops. so if you need one story, 2 stops, that correlation is done. i'll forward with in the see this me system and on the traffic is taking into account the current whether other conditions so to, to calculate the best route possible with a least 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 would also be in a 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 judge. yes. it's a fast charging, at least. yeah, in general, talking about fast charging. everybody's always talking to all cock in charge of 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 say with fast charging, it's always not good for the battery does not. right? so i guess you need to the customer 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 foss charging up to 100 percent only only a few times and,

and that helps that house the battery pulling all we loved the right comfort and the noise. this interior, the hypoth screen, even though essentially comprising only 3 single screens, is highly functional and a good look 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 wise and his wife to communicate . i thank god he has lack. i think he's got the trust of the police to he was even given a uniform light. the police quoted it because of his enthusiasm. the police were very happy with daddy last hour because he's alone is a disabled person 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 that 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 driver. i got on the day that a young i'm 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 class. many police officers are not keen on the job yet. my get by this railway crossing with no automated barrier and 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 didn't, they did with it. with their doubt. everyone 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 hel helene. then he's welcome to work here, go to visit. i tell him the rules and the working hours. i'm but this job is for locals only and we're at away. it's 5 p. m. and after 8 hours working the traffic jeanine, he 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 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, each epic but others disagree. i know 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 got to visit the us. bob don't want to middle level

much about it. but the more bit though, got that when we don't have any small change in the car, we won't give them money mcgaffey and they end up cursing us out on the move up the gummed up by young. what michael had, of course, there are others who don't do that when they receive no money. hippo ah, sadly because it wouldn't be a good got by back at you ladies house. his wife's a teeny 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 daddy, if you're being taken care of by me, your wife, please listen. i don't just see to little take a lot, get your vitamins as well. said that you'll stay healthy and additional i don't you love me. sentimental

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 t no 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 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 route carefully the propeller dublin. so run it through tapes.

it might, ought of me get contact with her manila, this a string, all the gear. so removing you to have gum cumbersome reviews. one you just do just automatically come up with the fishermen, use solar lamps to mark out the area where they plan to cost. they're large net, i mean, 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 returned to the yankee not beach in the town of emma. but he, i know shares the proceeds of the couch with the other fisherman. 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 fishermen here. that's our challenge. with a gun ago, left out, we are expecting them to the stress to pay or to go population. so we have to look new for the other success. so, 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 call. but sometimes when they 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 or 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 for inimical 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 will need to to do some modification on only that. he says 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 want to go far, 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 boe 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 petite, 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 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 catch coaches have also declined in recent years. jared altino has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric motors, but t 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!
