i think is everything challenging or some are bigger. i'm listening. so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything. ah, to some of this i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. i shut my got my license to work as a swimming instructor on dish. and now i teach children and adults with what's your story in take part, share it on info, migrant dot net ah ah, yeah, this is sharon gods begun. let us get food of him and i'm a fool in the us in us upon whose. c

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. we'll go fully electric with my the gun. read the auto and mobility show lou, breaking electric reco. it's 1000 kilometers on one single battery charge, giving the mercedes vision e q, x x arrange unmatched by any other e car on the ready to achieve such high range is with an electric car. you, of course, need to have a low air resistance transcending electric boundaries. switching from lands to water in a converted am fi car with battery power. that isn't a good idea. and back on to land, a new dimension to it. mobility. i'm all good, bob, god. the rick shows making the welds an electric, clean, clean up place,

probably provide go, approve, are done with lip. we're refundable gardening while also making it to safer and ferro, one of their book fair for audio. like back 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 xander 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, as 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 where the 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. now, of course,

quite a lot of things need to take into account when building a cow with such low air resistance. one thing, if the rims right here, they have no opening soviet can flow 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 costs 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 be expecting this battery. and this is dr. moto, so in real serious production the more important factor for the range is of course, the consumption and mercy. this 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 until what hours on offer the prototype set

a new benchmark. on the roof of the original prototype, there are solar panels that will provide energy 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, but 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. for example, here, 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 d sissy being. of course, the 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 e q, x x, mercedes, as managed to build a car that is more aerodynamic than an american football. now that's something

how about diving into an automotive wells, free of conventional boundaries? that group as a bond with you as a good sailor? never get seasick. that's been done. 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 all i hear with an electric f, a car or the propeller said a little bit of drive train noise. assistant voice is leaking, open that with us. you get when you drive back out or can then you just carry on driving. i applied with a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits. yeah. me i'm

because before me the emp, the car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne that made it kind of office or when you can relax and just let yourself go. and it does indeed look like a very relaxing, right? that's thankful. say, timothy has gone to having converted the amphibious car to electric power. oh and there's no engine rattle and none of the stench either gibberish and you certainly get a more intense feel for the nature of the intern from it. 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 horse power gasoline jen original model was unveiled to the german public at

the 1900. 63 international mate, a show in frankfort uses home and funeral new management or from outlined by the us element. it's most of the emphasis was the 1st and to date only mass produced vehicle of its kind. it's makers in west germany built around $3800.00 units between $961.68 hands triple the maverick car constructor designed at itself for just over $10000.00 deutsche max around $5000.00 euros in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug this is, this is the original sales brochure about my old school marketing. yet, here's someone plunging into a river. only order in inflow. ah, is this to go? yeah. the 19 sixty's were a decade of major change. when a new generation was making its presence felon started, 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 wolf. i present it said this, oh, there was a new upbeat mood back then for me, the and a 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. i imagine crossing the brenner pass in this 41 horsepower car and then having an amphibious mobile home. and then on dozens, you really had to be some kind of romanticism to do something like that inside of zillow as the modern mathias santa is a hotelier in tarpon tabula 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. i'm fi car into an electric muddle. there were 2. it was called that. oh,

1st they took out the engine of wooded, which then became a backup for a different car that i was fucked. and over here is the electric handler, carsten burn, electron pico suit as well. here we have the battery box, se, but as he kissed below them as the electric mo hm. which was glanced on to the old trails measure in this. and it's not like the tesla were to where you set it to drive his law and then just accelerate and break. i meant of it though or far. you do have to shift gears with this car. so no one was here in the thought though. no shut 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 top 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 here. in order to re balance the weight distribution with the fuel tank now gone, the experts added an extra battery block to java formula

70 years later we have this box which houses the batteries are the but this is where you access the socket. you more than 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 cousin, but its 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, audrey and the car is a poor car, and a poor boat called me not soon. i was by them, but the 2 combined makes it really special. i'd be in on that either on the road it does rock about quite a bit heard i had to do to the high white wall tires shipped and that's a good sailor. never get seasick on that new. i'd see what the amcom most

definitely is. is a lot of fun fitness, global i just love being able to drive straight from the road into the wall. it really is such a freedom without limits. yard time to make the car see worthy savannah. as with any boat, the life belt has to be stowed within, easy reach at all times. and you also need to install extra like this. i mean, and it's west license as both the car and as a boat, it's put on boats need a rear navigation line so that other vessels can tell whether you're ahead or behind them at night. the allies then, or is for him been order into in been and there's

a navigation line at the front to oppose its owns. the headlamp all are redundant now of course frozen below. so and a proper check also includes the fog horn that issue of the board super b. 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 pressed together and using this lever just isn't. and that you guarantees are 100 percent water tight nuggets with didn't when this guarantee and the doors good. this dish cut the water line on the some issue about here soon, but so the fear, ah, that matches. and the am fee car is now see where they so it gets tightens. vasa, it's why we hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition popella. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when my gun shy and, and we're off. it's those mid level now drive into the water and just touch on the

gas. the propellers are already turned on, fixing god, when did, will build in his ideas were afloat, yet. swivel now, just disengaged the gears so that the wheels are stopped. turning the date on this been within ah, uses fly the board so so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and oh, the steering as fire, the front wheel, which is part of it. that's why the white will tires are a bit higher. the higher the wheels are, the easier it makes, the thing to steer. still, young people have always dreamed of overcoming the boundaries between the elements and he comp, production ceased in the 960 because the complex construction was too expensive and sales never got off the ground. that ganja is confident. the electric edition could give amphibious cause a new lease of life that covered itself. no, you have more options these days, healthy life. you can definitely make it lighter so that it needs less electricity

and can go faster to. i'm gone all. i'm on the government didn't muted a and was someone had the guts to develop it and put it on the market at an affordable price and luck to blink. and then i reckon it could be really successful . the other guy side, 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 here a bit and really turn up the gas. i did buy now up and out by the ramp as well it's, it'll get a bit bumpy. now. the rear wheels and gauge that i had on it and on fact on god's earth as it were, oh goodness, it is. so and the buzz you get when you drive back out, i was fine when it starts to shake and vibrate up by the white. and then you just carry on driving at that it's just magic. but she has gone to regularly traits his hotel guests to excursions in his house because they certainly lend

a whole new perspective to trips along the romantic mozilla river. the unique river trips. and now a highlights on his guests itinerary. ah middle explore, i'm because what makes the electric advocacy special is that it's a lot quieter than the gasoline version of the club fumey out find out you can take in a lot more of the surrounding island. it's especially nice in the evening when the sun's going down as you're traveling across the water. yeah. yeah, i'm kind of, you can relax and just let yourself go. so dizzy, la bowman, nothing. ah, the electric anthy car adds a new dimension to modern mobility. and is indisputably one of the coolest ways of

but i love begging her when i drive, i feel a sense of freedom. bethany hom cutting me. i don't like being cooked up in a house. yeah. it in there. well, i used to think women to stay at home again that either had. now i can 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 p. c. b. 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 due to their gender cast or class. it offers to turn them into green entrepreneurs as a ritual owners and drivers. a lot. i mean glover, 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 an hour and convenience in installments of just 2000 or 2500 rupees. that way i pay 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 b, rickshaw drivers and with top radish 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 and 5 cities and over 10 villages across the state. the taxi service also affords greater freedom to the women who used. ah, it is customary that out a little women will not move out at wal mart. okay. talk to a 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 all 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. who's drivers don't always agree to take passengers on short city rides.

the rituals offering alternative public of either 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 likely to 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. every here the coil. yeah, but it will save, boom. i take bounce off carbon fiber ear as a may suddenly change, you know, done by if competitive products like ha, i see in these ellen patrol arkell. and if you'll see with the holiday customer base alone with 2500 people and we are having more than 5000 metric tons of god,

one body e rickshaws make up less than 10 percent of india's 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 be har, becomes vehicle owners that customers have a good return. ah, 2nd, the legal requirements are less saw. most of the leaks or guard permit free part. 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. haben 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 off then all 5200 records are autos i am talking about you when i say

indian reckon and they are envied. good up people on billy. hi, billy rental. this is, it's very hard for all or for a customer or above them from my life community to deal with the widest 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 paypal work 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 rich or driver. lolita and her husband mckendra are a modern couple. they divide child care duties for their son and take turns going to work. my hinder also drives you richer for a living. he's always supported his wife in her work.

funny mom i, when s m v green solutions told me that women were driving e rituals these days. i checked with my husband and he said yes indeed they were. and he asked me if i was interested in learning and that he would help was a lie. but only if i wanted to go because i told him instantly, yes i want to drive men. is that what i'm gonna be home with in for more innovation? next time on ref, ah ah, [000:00:00;00]
