in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route. i'm a race linked to military interests, a race linked to political and military proceed. but it will certainly to my finance and adventure full of hardships, dangers, and death. my jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. connection is off with we are living during the most extraordinary time in the history of transport.

we'll go pull the electric with red, the auto and mobility show who can this car electrify, mobility around the world. this is the people car, ivan, electrician pop, sorry. you're the for for you. is this what urban transit will look like in the near future? i'm gonna lose the thank you. will these gas guzzling mean machine soon be consigned to history. let's check out the found in the acceleration. mm hm. and can these car mechanics put the brakes on gender stereotypes in gambia quite i'm you see that we,

we also we have our right to see we are part of the full say the a c m city one is a lean, green micro. com. but it's make us hope will soon help electrify the street to the emerging countries in africa and asia. anybody lists heard of the ann with the, the week of the shift. how beautifully simple, and how wonderfully you to experience it. there's no frills design and child play to charge an e car for everyone. this is the people's car. it's a people's car, electric and electric vehicle for the masses, for people all across the planet that you bought. the car was co developed by german engineer and ability pioneer pow lie, both together with munich based adaptive city mobility or

a c m figure. oh of course there's a need for a vehicle that serves the general population folk alone involved. sorry. so straightforward of scale down affordable and with a workable energy solution, lose on the from so new for the me out. and in terms of the engineering we've developed here. yes, it really could be the new beetle. i mean, don't just annoy careful side. in the mid 20th century, the vw beetle helped fuel mass motor, zation, and germany and the rest of the world. a success story based on low production costs and simple engineering recipe. now being repeated by a c, m, a people's car for the contemporary world, running on electric power through the megacities of asia and africa. and you can swap the battery in a matter of minutes. when open monday, shoot you at some point run out of energy. then we have these battery suit cases. it's got like the old global batteries. plus,

you can charge off the main battery installed at the front using a regular household power socket. 8 hours later, the a, c, m as ready to roll for the next 200 kilometers, ideal to regions bereft of charging stations. winds up see them and not only showed us more, our aim was to accelerate e mobility, world wire, multi part. if you want to meet the paras climate goals, it's no good having to turn electric s u v 's here in wealthy western industrial nations life on the luxury products only accessible for 15 or 20 percent of the global population. we need to find a solution for everybody fast and she's not in a nursing home. the car has a robust construction to deal with less than ideal road conditions. unlike big a, manufacturers, a c. m, as primarily targeting taxi firms, leasing companies, and other fleet operators. the city one is set to cost just under 10000 euros when it hits the market in asia in 2023. and it's clearly in high demand with advance

orders already at 300000 across asia and africa. that is a very clear latent demand for sensible electric vehicles that can work with existing electricity infrastructure and the a c m's us if the one has an innovative emergency solution which allows for operation thought electrically completes in countries like india from b one without having to wait for foss charges, which is also a big challenge in such countries. in the city. one is 3 and a half meters long, but conceit, 5 people or fall down the revenge. and you have a many delivery van on your hands. and so briefing an answer our briefing from the off was ensuring maximum space with minimum dimensions i giving some and being both the people and a cargo carrier, the younger nozzles,

google. the makers have also devised a digital platform for maximizing the city ones. use 247. so depending on demand, cars can be deployed on an hourly basis for korea services, ca, sharing, or as taxis with diesel to guitar. this digital platform, which caters to a range of different customers, makes optimum use of capacity lawston. it means having fewer cars on the road of but with higher utilization assets and also kazi hazel. that would, so we're reducing traffic volume the while at the same time sharing the cost because nicety, total cost and the total cost of ownership per kilometer becomes far lower. for all users so tightly grinned stickle. does even a screen integrated into the tailgate for displaying real time digital advertising on the goes an extra source of income for city one onus young exactly rewarded as we set out to make the cheapest urban fleet vehicle

anywhere or dysfunction your mission. all in addition to the hardware then, so it's the money from services that massively reduces the cost is cost and enables the fleet operators to boost turnover or damage. and that helps us to make these electric vehicles accessible to everyone in emerging markets, to guns in fox or electricity fall. so even on a psion began developing the car back in 2012, with funding from the german government off to previously working on largely fruitless, sustainable mobility projects. with b, m. w pol level developed a series of prototypes with a team of independent experts. the engineer drew inspiration from his globe trotting travels with thailand in particular, providing food for thought when creating the atm city. one of the sent another nathan took talks are used to speed around hawkins took to us

this also money, which was a really different road experience. outside of this complex could see it's a completely scaled down vehicle with open sides where you feel the air rubbish. i missed my interview. i always had that in mind. billy taylor, in of an alternative kind of urban mobility or climate fonts or, and on downtown roads, small vehicles can be even more fun than bigger ones. foods, of course it falls, oregon, the in stop. that the initial vision was 1st followed by frustration. the make has faced a major obstacle, how to find sufficient funding to power. the idea of electric mass mobility still exceed the toughest aspect was always the financial side from the take on the technology and solution frontenac, it wasn't hard to find interested parties born done. com, but then there were the funding hurdles which got higher and higher, didn't all come on the investment input increases. as you approach volume production is so near invest in students. mcdahl with the project has been on the

brink of financial failure. a number of times that pol libeled refused to give up on the venture. keeping that the big picture in mind, climate change knows no national borders. of course. 2 thirds of the world's population live in regions where it will be many years until they have modern infrastructure for electric mobility. but time is of the essence. because in cities like the indian capital delhi air pollution is at shockingly high levels. the metro area is home to around 30000000 people on the a company in cars. pluses and my pets translate into a lot of emissions. i am indebted right now and we can definitely do it. more clean and compact cars like a c, m ha. taking the burden from our aging diesel and but 2 cars, one, give me a minute. so my vision is for us to rapidly introduce radical solutions across the

board, newsome and, and above all, implement them on the bottom. we really need to get a move on a concerted effort chanel to start making these poor compromises. making comp won't be severe, mom. labeled as an admission to push electron mobility on a global scale. bcm city one is on the starting blocks. currently still at the prototype stage, it could soon be a common site on roads all around the world. oh, collection with getting a self driving chuckle box up and running, it's not as easy as you might think. check out this test in estonia under real world conditions. her was the key. takeaway is love to do more

with a new adventure for rev upon the ease at auto. paul, i'm christian. we're here in talent. we build feltron shuttled, come for i. i'm with the whole area here with 3 months and then we are the layer of lanes where to be going to drive where, where the intersection thought, well the coastal power the vehicle knows were these and just checks for obstacles and choose the best path to move we can drive over the phone from public road, i believe because our license but they need the human assistance in some support. i just check with you. i see that the vehicle let's say,

behave differently, dangerously. i'll hit with you can see on the screen. how does eco thief hole environment we're using writers timer on this vehicle is also janice says cannot want to later today we're doing calibration on it. ok. so it's like been written from the office here by here. really. very good thing. i heard a little bit of a new people can believe dr. living, but i don't think because it is with the one when he started and the people were usually making lots of pictures, but now they're pretty much accustomed to group with computer will be

safer. you can get the technology right, it doesn't really matter which vehicle you put it on. challenge is definitely what are you don't talking about driving on the public realty, how the other vehicles behave, trying to understand all of different obstacles that might come in from. so there's, yeah, there's lots of variables that basically are making the circle during day when sun is shining. that's not a problem of driving right through commission. more, more tricky. we run over. so will you tell him at the moment telling me, i believe is very key in doing well with test our vehicles in different areas. so the environment for especial opens with

we have been testing in, in we were in greece, in france and finland in poland in germany. i understand how the b column actually fits in the environment. how does it behave and how the customers use it? do they want to use it? well, connection is well, thank you carol. okay, in my good, since we're doing tell operation, can you tell i deleted the connection. latency was too long of the network connection. that's pretty good. yeah. but they told so safety feature that the if you get any delay in the connections, the recall will stop, right? we see there's an extension for the public transport system of today. and the idea

that this vehicle will gather you from the door and get to get a new reflects, a bus stop for a profession is different than venture, i would say. but of course, we want to provide an actual meaningful service to people this, this bus going through. thank you. ah ladies and jan's well come to the raft check. today's got to be one of the highlights of the year because i get to drive the all new audi r 8 v 10 performance rear wheel drive. this is going to be a black ah

don. let's enjoy the blast while we can. because who knows how long this type of vehicle will be around in the future, that's going fully electric. so let's check out the sound in the acceleration. mm. this is crazy. less than 4 seconds from 0 to $100.00. no space of the car speak for themselves. 570 horse power. 500. 15 newton meters of torque and a top speed of 329 kilometers an hour or $327.00 for the spider version. i mean, of course you feel that this one is the sports call. if you're driving to curves it, it's simply like it's driving on rail. ah,

but you do also feel the bumps on the streets, but that's normal with any sports car. and i have to say, i wouldn't want it any other way because you feel the connection to the road and that fee is really good. this is simply incredible bugs. once even more. incredible is the sound. the v 10 engine makes it sound so good. of course it's supported by the exhaust pipes, but me, you can't even really describe it. you get to experience it in reality. so if you ever get the chance to drive such a car, i would highly recommend you grabbing that chance because it's really so much fun and such a nice experience. mm. while the roof is closed, you can open the rio window. so you get

a little more of that sound in the interior. mm. let's talk about the interior for a 2nd. everything about it tells you i'm a sports car. there is no infotainment system in the middle. instead, it's integrated right here behind the steering wheel. so that way while you're driving, you will not be distracted. and you will not look far away from the street, which is very good, especially when driving such a fast car. apart from that, of course, like you would expect it from a sports guy, you have to start stop button at the steering wheel. very nice, very intuitive. and right here you have these buttons, they remind you of that of a sports guy. they simply remind you of a sports guy, you would expect these to be in a sports guy that is not driving on the street on a race track. so everything about it very nice. the seats are you have a lot of stability when driving curves and talking about driving. i guess this is what we're going to do now. so let's start the n i

b r a spider. the roof can be open, then closed in somewhat 22nd. and then up to speed of 50 kilometers and or so that's pretty fast and a worse really good. no problem whatsoever. so if you on your way with your r 8 spider and it starts raining, then you will quickly be able to close the roof. ah, if the rear wheel drive version r w d. and of course with that one. if you set the e s c to sport, you will be able to pull off quite a few nice drifts. of course that's nothing for the public open road, but we have the possibility to take the car to a race drive. and i think that's just the right environment to check that out.

this is the co pay version and as far as i'm concerned it is the more beautiful car i'm not that much into cabriolet. so i would choose that version as you can tell where on the race track right now. so we're going to take that call for a spin in a 2nd. with with the updated r 8 models. audi ditched the non performance versions. the naturally aspirated by point 2 liter engine, delivers its power to the rear wheels via 7 speed,

automatic dual clutch transmission. the chassis is made from aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic, making it both lighter and stiffer, for maximum performance on the racetrack. ah, that's it. test drives over and i have to say, i'm a little sad because i need to leave the car behind. but i had so much fun driving it, i mean the look, the performance, the sound, everything is really incredible about this car. and of course it comes out of certain price, $149000.00 euros in germany for the co pay version. and even 162000 for the cab really. that's quite a bit of money. ah, to sum up the updated audi r 8 be 10 is even more powerful than its predecessor. and with a rear wheel drive version, you get an even more challenging driving experience. it goes without saying that

the sound is incredible. the only downside is you're going to need quite a fat wallet to buy one and to keep it running. downtown or a condo is own to a very unique enterprise. the only garage in gambia owned and run by women for till my touch army. and i had a fall have joint forces to define stereotypes and gain a foothold and the auto industry. although they did 1st have to convince their loved ones about their labor of love. my biggest challenge was the in dealing with my mom to convince my mom that hey, it's all kate, this is my passion. these one i believe in this is what i want to do. so forget about the stereotypes. look as about mo, i'm a woman, is a car, a choice then i have to make. as in most countries, the ambient contractor is male dominated. women are supposed to stick to traditional duties, which often includes unpaid farming work. but for too much i decided to step out of

the box. and after studying mechanical engineering, she opened her own garage. even a little more to service provider is the organ is use under sept. is set to organize all the female that are in automotive industry. does the come together? we find it very difficult to read, accept in the industry and, and i said little also have his found sample that nettles established a female. got it in addition to repairing and servicing several cars a day for 2 mata. and i'd a teach young women the basics of mechanical engineering. the training program is designed to empower women and reduce the gender gap and vocational education. santa who has also joined the team. i said again, the feel it is because i love it. there's a lot man room info lewis and i said know that that's why i did join the swain to show them that what milk

a new man can do it even more in 2020 more than 10 girls enrolled in the training program. but many quit because of social pressure. i had a regrets how they were discouraged by discrimination and prevailing stereotypes. most of the time, some of the some of the school nations we feel like get out of here when go and get married and settled down at home. this was and really it doesn't matter to us because i always tell them that they were gen, that in, in a colleague pot. i grew up in a neighbourhood full of workshops where she developed a love for cars after working in several garages. and now 27 year old identified a lack of digitalization and the domestic automotive industry that prompted her to launch feeder farm dot com, which hooks up cardenas spare pot retailers and auto technicians with customers. my hopes the project will help her reduce the gender gap in the industry is more than

a business for me because if it's successful, i should been all, it's called this will not only inspire the younger generation explicitly young goal to want to pick and to bring a ship in the skill set to motivate them to call a colleague. despite the patriarchal mindset and can be in society, many customers are starting to overcome their prejudices and do not hesitate to entrust their cost to the women. many of these are kyle of job will be assigned to men in sort of woman. so does, does that does one of the reason not moves me to come here because i was impressed . i was impressed when i hear that, you know, it was, you know, governed by ladies, ladies who are helping to change society's mentality and make equal treatment for everyone a reality sooner rather than later. in this morning we are talking of gender as

they faced. sustainable development, good here. so in gender equality, react for us. what the impact that we have for as a female, we fight and me see it that we, we also we have our right to see. we are part of the society. we have to be respect left for too much army and either fall to women with their own auto repair shop, following their dreams and empowering their peers to fight for equal opportunities more power to you and see you next tod on rare blue. ah, with

ah, with a green cities relaxing away city despite record temperatures. it's not a mirage. refreshing architectural ideas and innovative landscape planning are both

cool and clever, chilling cities out in 30 minutes on d. w. a red alert for ah, this isn't just route, is a red. if acacia we're going to have some epic. moreover, water all over the world matter is becoming a scarce commodity isn't worth dying of thirst. but global struggle for water in the 75 minutes on d, w a. j a is a journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so what on this?

so all the focus, the movers, shake is visionaries and made has when bonded the meaning of modern africa, this is as an egg, and d, w, a sex phone operator, and we were her master's thesis on the potato railing to read a turn on. well, it gets more was that there was from there, he dealt with german ministry munich, 50 years ago. the international gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team. and immediately killed one man, and that this will be the last time the saw in our wars fears realized tonight, they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this
