we'll go for the electric rev the auto and mobility show who is the bentley continental g t speed, the best high performance luxury car on offer if you press down the gas pedal it will shoot for what can this e mobility start up. eas, nairobi air pollution problems. we kind of a blind eye to that contribution of chance, but based coupling emission is diabetes really no barrier to one's dakar? dreams and i will need the i'll get a more more get him up and then we'll know what i'm going to get. of course i get what automotive tails big and small right now on red.
8:32 pm
ah, any time i test a car for you guys, i 1st ask myself, what is special about it? what would be interesting for you? and sometimes but only sometimes the car itself is the special thing then you badly continental gt. speed and would that well come to the raft? check with me the continental o g t speed always feels like some crazy scientist made a hybrid out of young arnold schwartzenegger and la roadrunner. mimi with the chorus. get such o wide and muscular body,
8:33 pm
which would make you think it's not fast. but then if you press down the gas pedal it will shoot for what, leaving the co yodi and everyone else bite the dust. and that's simply impressive, especially if you consider the weight of more than $2.00 tons ah ha, gets me every single tie. the car is equipped with a w 12 engine delivering 659 horse power. the regular continental g t is also available with the w 12 engine, but there it will only have $635.00 horsepower so and they gave the speed version a little more. oh i of course, you've got to differ from those regular
8:34 pm
w 12 version speed version makes the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers and our employee point 6 seconds. and this sound is really nice. i really like it. but i have to say, if i had to choose i prefer the v 8. be curious. to me, it's somewhat sounds a little more little more aggressive a little more. i don't, i don't know, i can can describe it, but i prefer it. w 12 very nice, very powerful. no question about the v 8. the sound is even better though it is of course less powerful. the 60 to engine is able to propel the car to a tough speed of 335 kilometers an hour.
8:35 pm
every time i drive the high performance car like this, part of me is having a fiesta. ah, and another part of me is silently dying inside me. why instead? of course i know cars with combustion engines with that much power. it also consume that much fuel and stuff are slowly dying out. ah, the british comic is now focusing on hybrid versions and from 2030. every new bentley model will be purely electric. the interior of the bentley continental gt. speed is not that different from other continental g t. unless you have
8:36 pm
a speed lettering somewhere he on the seeds and over there. of course what you see right away. everything is super high quality. nice material. it's very nice. ditching and everything is. yeah, very luxurious. just a good expected from a badly ah, what i do notice though is there is a lot of chrome and i'm talking about a lot of chrome. i mean, the car on the outside has a lot of chrome as well, but in the interior it's even worth what i do like though, is the fact that bentley has still some buttons for the most important functions right here. and even better for the climate control down here and for seed heating and the ventilation. because that's, that's not normal. nowadays, you often got cars. what are no buttons at all? and bent, they decided to keep those. and i really like that this in the,
8:37 pm
in the continental g t. s officially for cedar, as you can tell, but to be honest, the feed back here, they are not made for anyone to fit it if okay, from the width. but if you put the feedback, then there will be no space ah time impressed every single time i drive openly because the difference between, for example, comfort mode and then the sport mode is so huge right now with driving comfort and it feels like you're driving your grandfather's car, that is keeping everything smooth and is really relax,
8:38 pm
but then you can switch to sport mode. you will instantly hear that by the sound and also view that once you press the gas pedal and the car becomes, yeah, it becomes your cool uncle. call ridiculous. he's the one always having fun and being crazy in, in, in the instance the car fee, it's completely different than i really like that. the seed is equipped with an electronic limited flip differential and active all wheel drive. as an option, you can get ceramic brakes for the continental g t speed and those are the world's largest brakes in a series of production cost. $440.00 millimeters at the front. and bentley says, these are virtually fade prove, even after 10 heavy stops, the maximum additional distance the breaks will need are around one meter, and that's virtually nothing shifting is done via an ac. feel such transmission.
8:39 pm
it's my time with the new badly continental g t. speed is over the car itself. i really enjoyed it. things we should definitely not talk about is the price and the fuel consumption because otherwise, people all around the world will start to cry. i'm sad as well. get a leaf. you thought i left, but i'm gonna tell you about the price. this car has a base price of 251300 years in germany. and if you add some options, like this car hairs, you will be very close 230-0000 cal. this is making me sad. never going to be able to afford such a car. the newest version of the bentley continental g t speed might be the last one of its kind. it is an incredibly sporty car with an
8:40 pm
extremely luxurious, comfortable ride, and a powerful sound. unfortunately, the price you have to pay to own $1.00 of these is prohibitive for almost every one every day. the same and kenya's capital nairobi tens of thousands of diesel fueled public transport vehicle supply different routes through the city, emitting poisonous exhaust gases and loss of noise. it's bad for the environment and it's bad for people's lungs. 20000 people die from air pollution in nairobi every year. but liners were serious, bass is different. after 20 years of driving diesel vehicles, linus was able to make the switch to electric thanks to a local electron mobility starter. and he already appreciate the difference from
8:41 pm
a driver's point of view. these know, are a lot of expenses in this bus like a diesel bus. for example, i used to do a service every month. this one we, you, you, you don't do any service. ah, the driving is also different. as you can see, there's no glass on her. yeah, yeah. so it's a very small to driving on page to be the vehicle. the company providing linus with the bus is bus, he go it launched operations in nairobi and late 2021 and hoped to expand and transport public transport across east africa in the near future. i think we had that time where we can no longer than a blind eye to the contribution of transport based carbon emissions tool that
8:42 pm
environment. and it's definitely you a great time for bussey good to take the leads in providing alternative solutions to ensure that but at least public transportation ships from the use of fossil fuels to clean energy. the company is operating to chinese, made b, y, d electric buses. as the fleet expands p amos to assemble the next vehicles in kenya, each boss can cover a total of 250 kilometers on a full battery, which takes up to 4 hours to charge. the company buys each bus for about $39000.00 euros. it then sells them to operators for the same price as the diesel bus and charges a use based subscription fee. this covers cost such as b thing, the battery nightly charging, as well as service and maintenance. so with regards to, if they are god of forrest tabitha maintenance, no,
8:43 pm
by think or has all that planned, what would like our drivers and the different operators to do is come pick the buses and just drive and enjoy the drive and leave the maintenance to buffy. go, but they go, has currently trained at tim of well, but engineers that know how to handle high voltage systems that know how to handle that different mechanical systems where the electric buses. so, but the goal currently is that the only provider of sabbath and maintenance for these buses in, in partnership with you id the idea is that operate is confused profitability through the reduced fuel expenses and maintenance costs of electric classes. anthony bus is not as smooth to drive and less tiring for the drive is nairobi. passengers who i used his smoking, noisy, my talk to this as they're known locally, really noticed the difference with a new clean bus. beyond the free, why fi and cell phone charging clinks anymore?
8:44 pm
i got winds up when this is the 1st time i've ordered the spot lights up and it's a bust that provides so many services that others cannot provide. but ya, some you feel relaxed inside one and there's no noise. it's a nice bus, not gillilan. regarding him, jordan, passengers are paying the same level affairs from now, but this is hope to go down when operators get a clearer idea of the new running costs. classical hooks to increase its police of electric basses to 1000 in the next 5 years. crossing the finish line at the de carr rally was always a dream for daniel alberto. but as the 1st diabetic to compete in the event, the journey was harder than usual and his path was strewn with obstacles.
8:45 pm
every day i crossed the finish line is dedicated to old diabetics daniel is a complete motorhead, but at the age of 8, he was diagnosed with type one diabetes, a condition that was misunderstood at the time. i ha, ha ha, my parents wouldn't let me go out. so do sports in school. i sat in a chair because they told me sport. good for people with diabetes thought well the day we know better than it's very important to play sports or if you start walking, you'll end up running. many people in the world have diabetes. we can do anything but just with more effort and work. well, we can achieve anything that we want to pursue the on. on the market, lou john la la la montgomery and ball gail. their overwhelming yeah. ramos in 2007, the financial crisis and a personal tragedy pulled the rug out from under daniel's feet, a turning point in his life. the offer for the winter. i suffered
8:46 pm
a lot of these. i had a restaurant and i lost everything aka the restaurant. my house, so we lost our son to go be or i think losing a child is the worst thing that happened to you. i mean, i, the obama, that's when i began to see life differently to consider another future. it changes your life. i mean, i either will color annual every year. i sat down to watch the doco rally, but when one, yes, someone asked on a tv show. but if someone with diabetes could participate in the race, i quickly called a friend and i said, hey, look what i've seen on tv. ripple, he said, you're crazy. i'm like, how are you going to race the dachau? i'm, if i'm in the app, actually the deca help both me and my family to get out of that hole. i think when something like this happens to you, you need a reason to live, to get up every morning and to fight for what you want to ask. why? what did they verify a little john? the what i be able to get in daniel's wife matter supported his de carr dream. even when it seemed impossible. nbc been 1st, we thought it was crazy that we could never make
8:47 pm
a. but after everything that happened, we needed to hold on to something to him. yvonne, it was, it was a challenge that we had to convince people to see that it can be done, but a good luck and they react as he gets it. with a daniel hoped to be the 1st diabetic motorcycle rider to compete in the da car. but the organizers believe the event too dangerous for diabetic. daniel needed to fight hard to realize his dream were the thing boy, north, even after 5 years and many races all over the world. we showed them that i could be in the dock. our rally with diabetes, i raced in the room lena in 2019 and was the 1st diabetic. and finally, i became the 1st in the dark out in the toughest race in the world. daniel but in 2019 we couldn't finish often in 2020 we were back on it but couldn't finish either . but in 2021. when we finally managed to cross the finish line and now in 2022, i want to be the 1st person with diabetes, type one to cross the finish line in a car, one them into the bono. and with that, i'm into and watches. before leaving for saudi arabia,
8:48 pm
daniel train hard at valencia in order to be ready for the race. he was guided by a laugher old siena who has trained some of the world's best motor sport, athens yet most demanding res. so we have to focus a lot on nutrition and energy expenditure because the same food doesn't work for diabetics. but from the out, because he was as an all assembler that on these project helps us because there's not much research about how to manage diabetes and hyper foreman sport lab if you want to spread this data. so all diabetic athletes have the information just preparing for that cars a mammoth task which takes a whole year, daniel needed to find funding for the car dreams and get the car competition ready . or they were thought he is in the budget for the last year. and it's crazy cartooning. international licenses. what a return trip to marcell driver registrations. yeah. is 22000 euros. then the spare
8:49 pm
parts and tuning what's up more than a $150000.00 euros per year. when the project started. no one gave us a penny or, and no one believed that a person, diabetes could be in the top is right in the world. this will you thought a lot of them are good. finally, daniel made it happen. he traveled a saudi arabia with his co pilot and his wife. i. oh, horrible. yeah, yeah. for the jetta now you're not the 4 days we got through all the administrative and technical checks that you got, but everything has to be perfect problem. many people ask me what you do when your sugar level goes down in the car. yeah, i can't let it get to that point little. i need to control it all day in a law apart from driving pilots, im jumping june and stones dodging everything that comes towards us such as camels . we have to pay special attention to our travelling companion had diabetes. yeah,
8:50 pm

8:53 pm
it's important that the person who picks up knows that we're diabetics. so we can be treated properly, although our lives can depend on this, on the out of that, both still young, optical commerce truffle doodle thought, well, nobody will get it. everybody asked, why do you die? your head blue. you look like a smooth affordable? no, i don't look like a smooth, it's something else. you know, it's a way of showing the whole world. the blue is our color. in blue is the color of hope. the hope that all people with diabetes half the and they can be cured when we can stop being diabetics. you know, here i carry the insulin pump which marks my records from the glucose meter that have installed here on my arm. it's our telemetry injectors with more or less insulin come. for example, if i'm going to eat 5 servings for dinner, we would insert 50 grams and it calculates directly. the amount of insulin that we need to have a little bit longer than ever. elijah, the not going to see them off if this is the navigation board that i use. i have to get this graph in the yellow field,
