in search of the extraordinary ah, we are the specialists of lifestyle. europe your romance in 30 minutes on d. w. a . what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. ah,

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport will go full the electric with red, the auto and mobility show with the skies the limit to how new mobility in the air is becoming reality. make sure what time you spend in transport is quantitative time, valuable time for you. no limits how volvo, hopes it's see, 40 recharge will conquer the fully electric su. copay market. the installation is good as well. so there is nothing to complain about in this car. and beyond the limits why driving a took, took in sri lanka means freedom to this woman. i make my life bread because i like the future of mobility in the air on the road all over the world now

on red. ah, traffic jams, over crowded subways when things get too tight on or under the ground, the only way to go in south with us. we're here. this is an essential key to future mobility. it solves so many problems with more and more cities are looking at airborne mobility to solve their congestion problems with a fit in north colby. but we want to use our air space because there's not enough room on the streets. also, as we see every day they're all ready to ago, if before the others. the autobahn project in munich for example, uses cable cars suspended on tracks 5 to 10 meters high. no stations are needed. the cars can stop and lower themselves to the ground anywhere. people who want to get on or off can tell the car by means of an up

the brain child of a music start up. the pilots project is being built in the northern suburb. deal to bone. the autobahn provides the comfort of individual vehicles for the price of public transport. it can convince iep and if have been combined to the advantages of today's public transport with the individual convenience of cars, it isn't. it allowed, we're in a position to equip a whole city with our network very fast and at very low cost on summits. ah, this animation shows how the autobahn could be installed at berlin's potsdam or plats. for example. the only question is whether congress will make way for the capsules from the skies quickly, as the video suggests, ah, the on the bus project operates on 2 levels. the cable or can also drive like

a bus ah, the concept was developed at our w t h university and often at the institute for structural mechanics and lightweight construction. ah, usually the scientists here work on mobility solutions for space. with peasant, for individual mobility is also of relevance to us because of all this talk of flying taxi's, transporting people around cities 15 inch once we started thinking about individual mobility houses. when we came to the conclusion that flying taxis are not the solution in cities. and that got us thinking that we are lying as a good idea in principle. what other alternatives are there? probably mon, tom, nobody. and we came up with the adapted cable car even come outside on cable cars aren't familiar sites in south american cities in the bolivian capital la pas

and the colombian capital bogota. commuters can glide over the roof tops and the clogged up streets below. it's a pleasure most of europe's historic old towns have had to go without so far off in the dorm, as of in any unesco heritage site. and there is an the cathedral and often or other cultural obstacles. get in the way of the cable car, misty. we'd like to link the cable car to the central train station and been at most historic old towns don't have enough space for the tracks and landing spaces. find the i from tonight. walker's through the cable car cannot be built where it needs to go. east that soon dog in. bunk in our opinion, which that's why so a new cable cars are built in western europe. that'd be the buyer. couldn't as it was online on the he's on volumes, i von and vessel will put so much when he can both him. so how can offends historic central be connected to airborne mobility solutions. niecy viva down if the cable car can't go in the air, we'll have to put it back on the ground and cover last mile

a bullet. that was the original idea. did he roach me? then combine our expertise in satellite technology and chill out the cable car is lowered on to a platform with 4 wheels and can drive like a bus. the current platform or connected by a coupling device that the scientists developed to link satellite modules in space . that is with he doesn't try that out of the sites of aspect from satellite technology, the intelligent space connectors, we're confused, we can connect 4 things to an interface, and that's what makes it so smashing. this is tim rashaw. inside, we have the mechanical interface or which we use to connect the different modules, your bodies, please pens, conduct the electricity supply meter right in the middle, we have the data transfer device and this copper ring on the outside conducts heat of it's still valuable hog the space connector is the ideal transmitter to connect the cable car with the platform on wheels, which the scientists call the skate board. that's all been confirmed in tests. now,

it's time for the further development of a bus. the concept could transform inner city transport and give city folks some of their ground space back with the shopping list by raising the main traffic up a level we free up all the space that's taken up by conventional traffic and give it back to the people without any downsides, we can even reach realized locations in the city center by turning the cable cars into buses. this is essential for making public transport more attractive. it will draw people in as opposed to forcing them on to public transportation with traffic bands and other restrictions sort of children or the new principal to speak french carmakers detroit and also drew inspiration from the skate board for this exciting form of public transportation clients can choose from a range of houses for the platform, like a mobile fitness video,

for example. or an exclusive lounge that turns inner city transport into a luxury cruise. give you back, access to a city, make sure that the time you spend in transport is quantitative time, valuable time for you. the skateboard concept is also key to a joint venture being worked on by the company's ital design and airbus a passenger cab that can be either flown by quad copter or driven by means of a platform on 4 wheels. the project is called pop up and promises a new kind of individual mobility in cities. but it wouldn't work without a connector, like the one built for space by the scientists. and often he's a sticker that has that us. this humbug is key to trans modular transport. i see

lots of videos of cars connected to quad carpenters and flying, but you need a fairy dust to do that and we've got it. what goes up must come down. so airborne transport need some kind of connection to ground level tube. and that stairway to heaven may well be the key to future urban mobility with ah no start stop button in this car. instead, you just press the brake pedal, put a 2 d or in reverse, and then let's go. the volvo, c 40 recharge aims at the fully electric s u. v. copay mar. where there are already

quite a few competitors tenant, match up the c 40 re charge is based on the x, the 40 recharge, and it also has the same drive train to electric engines, one at the front, one at the rear, each $1150.00 kilowatt so $300.00 kilowatts in total, and with that, it will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers an hour in 4.6 seconds. and that fee is pretty good for a call that wave in it over $2.00 tongue. it can only go up to 180 kilometer as an hour, but that is not because it's an electric car that is a general decision of valvo. so even for the combustion engines, volvo, stops the car at 180 kilometers an hour. for safety reasons. that top speed is at least 20 kilometers an hour. less than most of the competition. the energy for

the 2 engines is provided by a 78 kilowatt hour battery. that way you will have arranged of 440 kilometers according to w l t p. if you drive around purely in the city, just like us right now, then you will even get to a range of more than 570 kilometers. of course, in a cd, driving rather low speed, a lot of start soft. that saves energy. the range assistant gives the driver tips to optimize their driving style in order to maximize range the fee. 40 recharge ethan s. u. v. cooper. hey, as you can tell by the sloping roof line, which looks pretty neat, but it also brings some problems because you will lose space in the back. yeah, i mean, the space down here is pretty decent. that's absolutely ok. right up here. there is

not much space and of course the robust sloping down just like i said. and that way . yeah. there is not so much space left of course a little bit because of my hair. but imagine if i was a little taller then i might be sitting like less in here. so better not be bigger than i'd say one meter, 85 maximum one meter 90. let's talk about the interior. it is pretty clean. you don't have a lot of buttons right down here. you have some for the infotainment system. skip for skip backward. play, pause, and to heat the wind screen. and that's it. the rest of it is done by the touch screen right here. and that also applies for the climate control which is right down here. it is okay, because you can operate it like that. some competitors have no buttons at all.

talking about other parts. the steering wheel feels quite ok, but it doesn't really look good this part right here. the center part, which is way too big and way too prominent. now that's that's not for me. i don't really like it, but the rest of the car looks really good. of course it takes a little bit of getting used to. the infotainment system is flipped. usually other full time systems are like, you know, it from your tv and that a small like your smartphone or tablet. but that's also a thing you will get used to pretty quickly. what is pretty neat. you have google maps on here because all of this works on an android base operating system. most competitors don't offer that, but still feature good systems. what also works really good is the voice operation? navigation. all right, where would you like to go?

cologne, cathedra. navigating to cologne cathedral. what you look at that, that works really good. nice you can tell right here, it tells me the distance and the time it will take to get there. but it also tells me that it has charging needed because i will not make it there on one charge. so i can add a charging stop that will then show me different ones. and also tell me which kind of charging station it is very fast, medium, fast, medium. and it will also tell me how many there are if they are free and how long i will have to charge one hour, 15 minutes. that's quite a bit of time off waiting, but guess that's what you gotta do for electric mobility. that function is really practical. and not all the competitors give that much help to the driver. right down here you have to use b. c slots to charge your phone or to connect it to your infotainment system. and

right below that you have a space to charge your smartphone wirelessly. it's just in the middle, you put it in and then your phone will charge. of course, if it does support the function that kind of charge you can be found in all the competitors as well. the trunk of the see 40 recharge can fit up to 1205 leaders which is 85 less than the ex c 40 recharge. the competition came in somewhere around $14.00 to $1500.00 leaders 50 years to full potential. the car has on a regular basis, then you can say good bye to your 440 kilometers of range and you will be close to 300 faster than you can say. see 40 reach off. but that problem is not exclusive to volvo. every other brand also faces

a general driving impression in the volvo. see, 40 reach out is really pleasant. the car is tile and the car is constable. just like you know, way from volvo, cars, and just like you would expect it from ball because of course, you half know combustion engine, which also add to that feeling of silence in here. but the insulation is good as well. so there is nothing to complain about in this car. the p 40 driving experience is one of the best right here behind the steering wheel, we have a fully digital cockpit, which will show the root guidance if you're using navigation. any will of course, also show your speed, your battery capacity, the temperature and so on. but the car doesn't have is head up display. and that's a little said, the a thing that is also know that good about that body type of us. you can tell there

is only a small flat window left, which is made even smaller by the address of the rear passenger who would have guess. the other s u, v co pays all have a similar problem. like with that much power and the compressor and everything comes at a certain price, we're talking about a base price of more than 60000 years in germany. and that's quite a bit of money. the question is, do you really need that much power? and i think you don't, as i mentioned earlier, the car is based on the x fi 40 recharge and that one just got an update where you can order a version with just one engine weigh less power and therefore. busy also cheaper and i expect the see 40 recharge to also get the treatment some time in the future . so if you don't need that much power, you might as well wait for the other version to come onto the market and then save

quite a few bucks. to sum up, the volvo, c 40 recharge is better than its competitors and some aspects, but worse in others. it scores points with things like comfort and a silent interior. on the downside, it lacks a head up display. the trunk is on the small side. and as of now, there is no real entry level version unit, the blue and the member from some of the payment for that day. as i'm driving a with

very feed on for me because i know on their best i can take best and the home when i want more money, i can no leafy advice ah, with handling again. ah. okay. i replaced this invoice as some papers that say put them on sand. many of the she had for me. yeah. yeah. a lot of the lady took sarah and say, bill,

the decision we took to hire a woman is because we saw the gap, women in sri lanka are not really are taken for the jobs as a driving instructor or to drive it took, took in particular. so we wanted to change this perspective from a long period of time in sri lanka, or in many different countries. the norm is where the men goes out to work. and the woman's face behind looks after your kids cook at home. but now things haven't changed drastically. and also this is because of the pandemic, i should say, because women have to step in this area. i don't have any experience. so was there dig been denied? i don't know how the jack. good dan, this good. i love it. all you need to, if you look i ask from my friend
