in 45 minutes on d, w. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word, pollution pinnacle. rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him a simple online on your mobile and free to shuffle. w e learning course, nikos vague. german made easy august the children guns begun. let us get through to them on a stool in the us. in a so fun we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. we'll go for

the electric with rad the auto and mobility show lou, breaking electric records. 1000 kilometers on one single battery charge, giving the mercedes vision e q, x x arrange unmatched by any other e car on the road to achieve such high ranges with an electric car, you of course need to have a low air resistance transcending electric boundaries. switching from land to water in a converted am fi car with battery power. that is a good idea. and back on to land, a new dimension to e mobility. i thought that bob got the rick shows making the welds an electric clean, clean up place. probably by the provider is liquid refundable gun.

well also making it to safer and ferro one it not. therefore, i have argued that a little allotted new standards of mobility. however, you get to where you're going time to go all electric right now on read. this is a very special prototype, the mercedes benz vision, e q x x a battery electric vehicle that was developed to achieve a range of 1000 kilometers on a single charge to prove that this isn't just marketing speak. mercedes decided to take it on a trip traveling from zehnder thing and himself, germany, where one of the biggest mercedes batteries is located across the swiss alps and northern italy to its destination of her c on the french cortez via the journey was undertaken at regular road speeds including fast lane cruising at up to 140

kilometers an hour on the german autobahn and near the speed limit. elsewhere. the long distance drive was completed with a charging socket, sealed, and accompanied by an independent expert from german certification agency took upon completing the journey, the e q x x is battery, was down to 15 percent with an estimated range of around 140 kilometers still available, but how is such a range even possible to achieve such high range is with an electric car. you of course need to have a low air resistance. and their car has a drag coefficient of 0.17, which is even better than the 0.2 they expected when they started developing the car on a regular long distance drive. a typical electric vehicle dedicates almost 2 thirds of its battery capacity to catching its way through the air ahead. there, of course, quite a lot of things need to take into account when building a cow with such low air resistance. one thing is the rims right here,

they have no opening soviet can blow freely. and the other thing if, for example, those tires, they have a very low rolling resistance. and that way, you will also have lower consumption down here you have the battery of the e q, x x. now you would expect things to put in a big battery to achieve that 1000 kilometers, but they didn't. the battery itself has around 100 kilowatt hours of energy. and despite that, it is 30 percent lighter than the battery if you have in nowadays cars and even 50 percent smaller. they achieve this by working together with the guys over from formula e, and they expect such types of batteries to come into series cost 520242025. reassuring here is something that we're going to see in serious production in about

2 to 3 years from now. so in the next generation, for example, of compact cars, we're going to see exactly this battery. and this e drive moto, so in real serious production, the more important factor for the range is of course, the consumption and receive, managed to bring it down to below 10 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometer. and that's a very good figure if you consider that the average electric call is somewhere around 1520 kilowatt hour, 10 kilowatt hours. it's really good. i mean, what can you do with 10 kilowatt hours? for example, you could have 3 minutes of light in a football stadium, or you could watch 100 hours on your 50 inch lcd tv at home. with exactly a point 7 kilowatt hours on off the prototype. second new benchmark. on the roof of the original prototype, there are solar panels that we'll provide and g for an additional 25 kilometers,

which i think is a really cool idea. the e q x x has more to offer than just incredible consumption and range. the interior also holds some surprises where we see a huge screen here, 48 inch screen seamless screen. it's not pieces of screens is one seamless screen from pillar to pillar, even loaded with a game engine, which we know aldo for gaming industry, which is not implemented to folks w navigation, which will lead to a whole new experience. world of a driver with an 8 k resolution. the thin lightweight many l e d display can perform seamless zoom and scroll functions. it can go from satellite perspective to as close as 10 meters in the 3 dcp. of course, it can also show the driver a detailed visual representation of their energy consumption. my time would

be e q, x x is over and i really like the car. it's cool that mercedes does such projects because the technology that they develop will then some day come into serious production cost and that way everyone will profit from it. let's talk aerodynamics reduction of just 0.01 and drag coefficient ads around 2.5 percent to the range of an electric car. the drag coefficient on modern cars ranges between 0.25 and 0.40. but with the vision you q x x, mercedes has managed to build a car that is more aerodynamic than an american football. now that's something how about diving into an automotive weld free of conventional boundaries? like group as anybody that knew i had a good sailor. never get to see. this is another that's

a special feeling of just being able to drive off the road and into the water. it's a very special kind of freedom is under the eyes. and one that means unadulterated enjoyment of your surroundings. idea, but it, it goes up all i hear with an electric f, a car or the propellers and a little bit of drive train noise. distant voice is leaking over when the buzz you get when you drive back out or can then you just carry on driving. i thought i had a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits with i'm because before me the amp, a car symbolizes a cool,

easy going party. feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne. made it kind of office cool. when you can relax and just let yourself go. and it does indeed look like a very relaxing right. that's thankful. so to mathias gone to having converted the amphibious car to electric power. oh and there's no engine rattle and none of the stench either you wish and you certainly get a more intense feel for the nature of the intensive omit. the empty car is, as the name suggests, an amphibious vehicle equally at home on land or on the water. it's powered by a 41 horsepower gasoline engine. the original model was unveiled to the german public at the 1963 international mae to show in frankfort. he's a swarm and funerals, namely, smith on some auto in line by this element,

muscle fiancee. carl was the 1st and to date only mass produced vehicle of its kind, its makers in west germany built around 3800 units between 196160 8 hands triple. the maverick constructor design debt had sold for just over 10000 deutsch. marks around $5000.00 heroes in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug. this is, this is the original sales brochure, mac old school marketing. yet here's someone plunging into a river or lay order in flood. ah, i is this to go? yeah, the 19 sixty's were a decade of major change. when a new generation was making its presence fell and stopped. there was also a new kind of music. think of the flower power era in the us really plus the beatles, a beatles come the war. oh i was and it said

this, oh there was a new update mode back then for me, the m o car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling to a sold noses. and there was even a mobile home to go with it. got caught this issue and, and some people went all the way to italy in it a match and crossing the brenner, pass in this 41 horsepower car. and then having an amphibious mobile home in plano and denizens. you really had to be some kind of romanticism to do something like that. it was like what was of as to what am mathias scan to is a hotelier in tarpon tabitha, by the mosul river in western germany. and is also an avid collector of am because in 2017 he converted his hotels to green palla that same year, the e cap mobility company was tossed with converting the gasoline pallet empty car into an electric muddle. there were 2 or was called that oh 1st they took out the engine of wooded which then became a backup for a different car that i was fucking over here or is the electric handler, carsten burn electron to close it as well. here we have the battery box

se. but of the kirsten below them is the electric motor, which was glanced onto the old trails. misha in and it's, it's not like the tesla woods where you set it to drive his law and then just accelerate and break. i'm an oath though far you do have to shift gears with this car. so no one was here in the thought though. no demons, it's if you drive at a reasonable pace and cruise instead of going at full throttle of to bus, it will keep going for 8 hours on the water on of of that was the batteries are really heavy. but so it lies a little lower in the water than the regular at the car, because the motor weighs more than the old engine for help. in order to re balance the weight distribution with the fuel tank now gone, the experts added an extra battery block to shower formula. 70 years later, we have this box which houses the batteries to do, but this is where you access the socket. you buy your model,

just like with any modern electric car. so going for the stick. those with the electric addition is a bit quicker out of the blocks than it is. gasoline powered old, a cousin, but his top speed is a good 20 kilometers per hour. slower, but still cruising along as a 100 clicks in this convertible is fast enough. that is advertised i misplaced is adrienne, the car is a poor car and a poor boat called me not so not by the but the 2 combined makes it really special . it is on this either upon the road, it does rock about quite a bit in riot due to the high white wall tires shipped and at the bottom of a good sailor. never get seasick on that new. i'd say exactly what the amcom most definitely is, is a loss have fun with

if i just love being able to drive straight from the road into the water, it really is such a random without limits. how are ya time to make the car see where this is marianna? as with any boat, the life belt has to be stowed within, easy reach at all times. and you also need to install extra lights this, i mean, and it's just license as he bought the car and as a boat export on boats need a rear navigation line so that other vessels can tell whether you're ahead or behind them at night. they're less than or is for him been order in the in been and there's a navigation line at the front to put it's owns, the headlamp all are redundant now of course frozen below. so and a proper cheque also includes the fog horn, the dish, oak the board,

super easy and don't forget those rubber seals either from the set of yeah, i book notes why it has just these 2 rubber strips that you're pressed together using this lever to susan and that guarantees your 100 percent watertight, let's look, didn't when this guarantee it and the doors the water line, nissan you about here. see a bus home with here. ah, that matches. and the am fi car is now see was a so it gets dozens, vasa, it's one. we hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition pillow. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when my gun and we're off. it's those mid level now drive into the water and julia touch on the get. the propellers are already turned on fixing god's will bellas in his right hand were afloat yet swivel . now just disengaged the gears so that the wheels are stopped turning it on. this

mimic thing uses clyde the board so. so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and oh, the steering asked by the front wheel just front of it. that's why the white ball tires are a bit higher. the higher the wheels are, the easier it makes. the thing to steer, store young people have always dreamed of overcoming the boundaries between the elements and the comp production ceased in the 19 sixty's because the complex construction was too expensive and sales never got off the grounds that ganja is confident. the electric edition could give amphibious cause a new lease of life that covered itself. you know, you have more options these days life, you can definitely make it lighter so that so that it needs less electricity and can go faster to i'm can all are on the sell, renew my didn't router. and was someone had the guts to develop it. and put it on

the market at an affordable price. it back to blog. and then i reckon it could be really successful. the up hooked eyesight and even the end of a bite trip in the am fi car has its own special cells. so it's legged in and now i'll engage 1st gear a bit and really turn up the gas i did buy now up and out by other ramp plug. well it's, it'll get a bit bumpy. now the rear wheels and gauge that it had on the back, on god's earth, as it were of goodness, it is. so and the buzz you get when you drive back out, i was far when it starts to shake and vibrate up by the white, and then you just carry on driving. it's just magic too much. he has gone to her regularly traits, his hotel guests tim excursions in his hands because they certainly lend a whole new perspective to trips along the romantic muzzle river.

the unique river trips and our highlights on his guests itinerary. midden, elect, swampy car, what makes the electric? and because i special is such it's a lot quieter than the gasoline version and repub, fumey out find out you can take in a lot more of the surrounding armstrong. it's especially nice in the evening when the sun's going down as you're traveling across the water. yeah. yeah, i kind of, you can relax and then just let yourself guys a da 0 bowman, nothing. ah, the electric am fi car adds a new dimension to modern mobility and is indisputably one of the coolest ways of getting from a to b. mm

a house, e. m it in there. well, if i used to think women should stay at home again that either had now i can't stay indoors for a single day. can i make any rash that they're being self employed affords? lolita been that freedom. 3 years ago, she was working 12 hour shifts in stone quarry and earning a pity. now she has her own electric ritual. she's her own boss. the city of prior garage, formerly known as a la hubbard, is located at the confluence of the ganges and the yamuna river. in the northern state of utah pradesh, it's home to some one and a half 1000000 people left his life changed when a social enterprise helped her to become financially independent. since 2015 the company s m v green solutions has reached out to people who are marginalized,

you to their gender cast or class it offers to turn them into green entrepreneurs. as a ritual owners and drivers don't live in glutter, my vehicle was finance, so i didn't have to make the down payment myself. ma'am, if i back it up when you will be roll up window that we could pay the loan back at our own convenience. an installments of just 2000 or 2500 re piece. that way, i paid back the loan in full months. $15000.00 rupees, entitled them. that's the equivalent of $200.00 euros. now lolita is one of around $130.00 female e, rickshaw drivers and who ta pradesh, who also own their vehicles. the rickshaw is provided by the social enterprise come pre fitted with cameras and gps tracking systems that are connected to local police stations. operating in 5 cities and over

10 villages across the state, the taxi service also affords greater freedom to the women who use it. is customary that out a little women will not move out at bo ahmad care, dot boy hospital without a mailman, but accompanying now they are comfortable sending the women with the women. but i was here. half a 1000000 passengers feel safer when they see a woman driver. we also feel better about girls traveling alone. there's an urgent need for green, quick transport options in prior garage, for example, about 80 percent of all commercial vehicles or diesel rickshaws whose drivers don't always agree to take passengers on short city rides. the rituals offer an alternative

public of either of they have many advantages. if they never refuse to take passengers, andy rickshaws caused no pollution at all. that's not completely true. electric rickshaws light lolita has have 0 emissions keeping cities cleaner. but the battery production process emits greenhouse gases, and in india, 70 percent of the energy required to recharge the vehicles comes from coal. still, there clearly a step in the right direction. are every helix valuable? it will save full metric tons of carbon. but here i, j may sandwiches. no, you know, done by it's competitive products like ha, i see in the diesel and petro lotto. and if you see with our customer base alone with 2500 people, we are selling more than 5000 metric tons of carbon. but he, d rickshaws. make up less than 10 percent of indian auto industry. but s m v green solutions is optimistic. it's helped more than 2 and a half 1000

e. rickshaw drivers across little pradesh and parts of b har, become vehicle owners. that customers have a good return. ah, 2nd, the legal requirements are less saw. most of the rec, fogarty permit free tart. many states are now banning new registrations and permits for their diesel and patrol or doors in the city. yet for the time being only a few rickshaw drivers are switching from gas or diesel vehicles to electric ones have in and also paperwork appear to be the main reasons for their reluctance. what is happening introduced on market it. so there are fleet merchants who have a fleet of 10 or 5200 records or, or told i am talking about you when i say indians record. and they're rented to the people on billy. hi, billy rental bases. it's very hard for all or for

a customer or a person from a my life community to deal with the, with the stakeholders in april system. so dealing with the vehicle manufactured of dealing with the ideal department, dealing with the insurance company, who from facilitating bank loans and insurance to helping with paperwork with the regional transport office and also offering smart battery swap systems. the social enterprise is trying to make it as attractive and easy as possible to become an e ritual driver. lolita and her husband mckendra are a modern couple. they defy child care duties for their son and take turns going to work. my hinder also drives that you rick show for a living. he's always supported his wife in her work. but am i, when s m v green solutions told me that women were driving iraq shows these days. i checked with my husband. he said yes indeed. they were and he asked me if i was

interested in learning and that he would help me with a lot, but only if i wanted to go because i told him instantly. yes. and i want to dr. men is that what i'm gonna be hung up with you then for more innovation next time on ref. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, with

ah, who they want to make food from milk home and make animal feed with flies. research teams are working on new ideas to save our planet was how realistic they are. the green revolution in 15 minutes on
