a ended listening place of morning. the mediterranean sea. it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of muster and to farm build corinne drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean. where has history left its traces. meeting people hearing their dreams. a mediterranean journey in tenant starts august 14th on d. w. b. connection is well,

we are living during the most extraordinary time in 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 with car i was elected. your thoughts are if you are the for for you. i said, is this what urban transit will look like in the near future? i'm out of town. lose the room. thank you. will these gas guzzling mean machine soon? be consigned to history, so that the check out the found in the acceleration. mm.

and can these car mechanics put the brakes on gender stereotypes and gambia quite i me 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 or seen help electrify the streets of emerging countries in africa and asia. anybody lists heard of is the end 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. and 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. so you know, of course there's a need for a vehicle that serves the general population folk a home in fog, sorry. so straightforward. it was a scaled down affordable field and with a workable energy solution loose on the from so neil for the me out. and in terms of the engineering we've developed here, yes, it really could be the new beetle. i mean, just an oil careful side. in the mid 20th century, the vw beetle helped fuel mass motor was ation in germany. and the rest of the world. a success story based on low production costs and simple engineering. a 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 mess of minutes. when open monday nikita shoot,

you at some point run out of energy and we have these battery suit cases. it's got like the old swap, elbow, batteries, those 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 for regions bereft of charging stations. winds up see them are not only shown dos, mar, aim was to accelerate the mobility, world wire mod. if you want to meet the paras climate goals, it's no good having to turn electric, s u v 's here and wealthy western industrial nations life on luxury products only accessible for 15 or 20 percent of the global population. we need to find a solution for every body 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 lit and 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 energy solution, which allows for operation thought electrically conflicts in countries like india, from the 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 road bench. and you have a mini delivery van on your hands. a breathing of

unsolved breathing from the off was ensuring maximum space with minimum dimensions by givings and being both of people and a cargo carrier younger nozzle. google. the makers have also devised a digital platform for maximizing the city ones. he is 247. so depending on demand, cars can be deployed on an hourly basis to korea services ca, sharing poorest taxi's refusal to guitar. this digital platform, which caters to a range of different customers, makes optimum use of capacity. austin, 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 going stickle does even a screen integrated into the tailgate for displaying real time digital advertising on the gove and extra source of income for city. one onus

young exactly void as we set out to make the cheapest urban fleet vehicle anywhere or dysfunction. you have this new all in addition to the hardware in so it's the money from services that massively reduces the cost is cost and enables the fleet operators to boost turnover with dummy. and that helps us to make these electric vehicles accessible to everyone in emerging markets. to comes with in fox or electrician fox or even on ac. and again, 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 ac city one

ah, the saint, another. imogen took dogs are used to speed around bangkok and took dogs as well. so by the which was a really different road experience hobbler, this complex could see it's a completely scaled down vehicle with open sides where you feel the air abby's. i missed my interview. i always had that in mind deleted in of an alternative kind of urban mobility or climbing fossil and on downtown roads, small vehicles can be even more fun than bigger ones feeds cause it falls, oregon, the in shot that the initial vision was 1st followed by frustration that make has faced a major obstacle, how to find sufficient funding to power the idea of electric mass mobility. so really the toughest aspect was always the financial side. on the take on the technology and solution front. no, 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 him on the investment input increases. as you approach volume production is so near invest in students involved 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 deli air pollution is at shockingly high levels, the metro area is home to around 30000000 people on the company in cars. pluses and man pads 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 la aging diesel and patrol cars. 20 mill is mainly 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 to start making these poor compromises. making comp won't be severe, martin labeled as an admission to push electric 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 road to all around the world. and oh, connection 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. loved 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 shuttle come for i i'm with the whole area here. we're 3 months. then we are the layer of lease we're to be can drive well the intersections are well to call for thought the vehicle knows were these and just checks for obstacles, them to the best possible can drive all the public works. i believe was our license but they need the

human assistance in some support. i just check with you. i see that the vehicle lets say, behave differently dangerously. i'll hit to read a you can see on the screen. how do eco thief, holy environment. we're using writers hammer on this vehicle is also janet says, i don't want to later today we're doing calibration on it. ok. so it's like being written from the office here by here. very, very interesting. i heard about this in the new people can believe not leaving you, but i don't think because it is with the one when you started and did the

people were usually making lots of pictures, but now they were pretty much accustomed to cooper a diode, diabetes. the 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 in the public quality. so how the auto vehicles behave, try to understand all kinds of different obstacles. that might come in from so there's, yeah, there's lots of variables that basically are making a circle during the day when the sun is shining. that's not a problem of driving through commission. more tricky. we ran over snow bold. typical talent. moment telling me, i believe is very key. no was to test our vehicles in different

areas. so the environment for a special open resistance. very good. 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 into in the environment. how does it behave and how did customers use it? do they want to use it? well, connection is well, i think neutral. ok, in my good, think we're doing. tell operator, can you tell i deleted the connection. latency was too long of the network connection. that's good. oh yeah, but it's also safety feature that the if you get any delay in the connections,

the recall will stop, right? we see it as an extension for the public tougher system of today at the id so that the speaker will gather you from the door and get to get a new reflects a bus stop for the profession. the 5th amendment to i would say, but of course we want to provide an actual meaningful service to people this. hi melissa, this is lisa room. thank you. mm hm . mm. ladies and jans well come to the raft check today. it's gotta 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 and the acceleration. mm. this is crazy. less than 4 seconds from 0 to a 100. no special because people themself. $570.00 horse power, 515 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 in that fee is really good. this is simply incredible bugs. what's even more incredible is that sound? the v 10 engine makes? it sounds 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 the 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 or on a race track. so everything about it very nice. the seats are you have

a lot of stability when driving and curse 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, this is 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 track. 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 and not that much into cabriolet. so i would choose that version as you can tell where on the racetrack 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 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 euros in germany for the copay version and even 162000 for the cabriolet. 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 the 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 home to a very unique enterprise. the only garage in kenya owned and run by women potomac, large army, and i to fall have joint forces to define stereotypes and gain a foothold in 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 is my passion. these one i believe in this is what i want to do. so forget about the stereotype. focus about mo, i'm a woman, is a car, a choice that 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. he went on more than 5 is provided. is there organisers wonder? set is set to organize all the female that are in automotive industry to the come together. we find it very difficult to read, accept in the industry. and, and i said little also have his son sample that little establish a female. got it in addition to repairing and servicing several cars a day or 2 mata and i'd 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, they feel it because i love it. they see

a lot man room info lewis and i said no the fact best way to join the screen to show them that what men can do a man can do it even more in 2020 more than 10 girls enrolled in the training program. but many quits because of social pressure i to regrets how they were discouraged by discrimination and prevailing stereotypes. most of the time, some of that are some of the discriminations we feel is like get out of here. you are a woman, go and get married and settle down at home is not your walk. and really it doesn't matter to us because i always tell them that days, no agenda in in, in a carry a pot. i grew up in a neighbourhood full of workshops where she developed a love for cars. after working in several garages, the now 27 year old identified a lack of digitalization and the domestic automotive industry. that prompted her to launch feet of fall dot com, which hooks up car dealers,

spare pot retailers and auto technicians with customers. i'd hoped the project will help her reduce the gender gap and the industry. peter fall is more than a business for me because if peter fall it's successful in i sure will. all. if golf, this will not only inspire the younger generation explicitly, young goal to want to think enterprise will ship in the skill sector market, but it will motivate them to cultivate. they are telling, 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 that 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 societies mentality and make equal treatment for

everyone a reality sooner rather than later. in this morning we are talking of gender as the device. so spinner would development good here. so in gender equality, react for us. what the impact that we have for as a female we fight, i me see that we, we also, we have our right to see. we are part of the society. we have to be respectful for to my touch 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 hard on row. ah, with

ah, [000:00:00;00] a with a all over the world,
