become at all hitler's favorite director. and how did he become a forgotten filled pioneer? leading he finished and arnold funds between hitler and hollywood. in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening a film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love, seduction, and power ice cold passion starts october 8th on d. w. today on read the audio and mobility. so how hard core an off road or is the new range rover audi. keep your eat the battery in good health, and how kira motors hopes to electrify uganda
8:31 am
with their landrover range rover and i can in the segment offer luxurious off road us by the how much off road can it actually take? that's what we want to find out today, and the best place to test the insane terrain at the land rover experiences. so now we're sitting in the new range rover right next to me. this is tom and he's working here as an instructor to get people through terrain. exactly. we explained the cost the systems and yeah, look at the obstacles. and once we get started, we can dry fruit. and that's what we're gonna do right now. let's go. time to see what our read testers made. so right now we are heading fall the 1st of go.
8:32 am
what is that? i've got a little here. hello here. we've got a few rocks in the way, so no big deal for us with this car. still, we want to go slowly as possible, which means we've got low range, low range engaged, are exactly changing to 1st with the pedals side, perfect, straight obstacle, which means once you've lined up, we just need to follow the path. we can activate the cameras. 9 inch, concentrate to stay on the break steady just for the bit where we come onto the road again. and so stevens grades, i mean, you probably can see this on camera, but it really is like you're falling like in the bronze and we put the 2nd gear and yes, i need to accelerate. try to keep the engine steady. perfect. perfect, right up to the top, 2 or 4 wheels on the obstacle and then we'll turn left when driving up. it's always
8:33 am
pizza, little easier than driving down because you don't have the idea that you're going to fall like on the car is going to fall more if you're going to be in it. okay, now we're going down here to the left side, which means line up straight again. possible back into 1st or back into 1st. exactly. we've got our 1st systems which you can use here and control which works on it's. i'm just need to stay. you can take the foot off the brake, the car break automatically and take us down safely. yes. so let's try that. take him a foot up. doing a very good. was a charm. it's just keeping us at like 2 kilometers and really so. mean you don't want it to hit the ground with the car. very good. once we're asked to slow, we can go to the frontal again. you can change gears into because we are in lone
8:34 am
range. it's my problem. well, seems like emmanuel isn't doing too bad. so far we're going to drive in a tilted position. first, we want to get all 4 wheels into the slope and then we want to go parallel to the corner to the right. interesting to see if this will work. my mean, if you would have asked me, can you put the column it over? and no, it was simply flip over. all right, perfect. or if you stay here in a moment, you can see the display, we've got 30 degrees now. i mean, it feels like more, it's like more like 45 degrees or something. i mean i think you do every day in the order. i would have thought the car is like heavy and it would have been but i mean 30 degrees. it's not something where you will have the danger to flip, but it feels if it's worth, of course, take some precautions. you've got to be careful. watch load, you go on your roof or in the boot. yeah. obstacles to crash over. but once you've
8:35 am
done all of that, you're actually quite safe. incredible. it's a relief that emmanuel didn't flip the car but there were plenty more challenges and a total of $25.00 different obstacles awaiting him. and then you range after all the land rover experience, supposed to 5.6 kilometer long track, and it's 17. your facility was also pretty interesting while driving off road is of course, driving through water. and i'm not talking about a little bit of what i'm talking about a lot of water. how much water do we have right in front of us? the water is about 80 centimeters deep on the right side. so that's where we're going to drive through. and in the range rover with the asked suspension, we can do forwarding up to 90 centimeters, so that shouldn't be a problem. so we have a little bit of air left. let's try that right now. ok. this 5th gen rangy was
8:36 am
certainly not daunted by a little water crossing with engines ranging from a 3 liter mild hybrid diesel with 183 kilowatts to a top of the line by terrible that puts out 390. why, there's plenty of bronze on, on, and the plug in hybrid have a pure electric range of up to 109 kilometer. now we're heading towards the next obstacle. what is that? exactly? we're heading to the next obstacle. then we will have an actual articulation, which means the axles will point in the opposite direction, which is enough routing. one of the most difficult obstacles. you will notice at the moment, that's the 1st hill we're going over. and i once axes in the obstacle, it's getting very interesting. he's got a good line. keep in the middle. as you can see, nation,
8:37 am
we're going up and down with the wheels. but the car itself is quite steady. and it's true. i mean if he, it's pretty smooth. so and even though the wheels are nealy and the f o moment, you hardly know to certain here because we've got contact range rovers, wheels in the air party trips will soon make it to an all electric version of the flagship model. said to be launched in 2024. it's meant to look like the standard range you and the outside. but with the power underneath. all wheel steering comes to standard and all range rovers making the 5 meter behemoth. quite nimble for its size. it's really crazy. what technology can do, i mean of course. busy landrover, they claim their range rover is also offer a cable. luxurious, no question,
8:38 am
but the offer capability. i've seen it today is crazy. still crazy. it has been when it came out in the 1st generation and it still is today. so i really enjoyed it very much before this range rover and our rib test or get a well earned rest, there's one last obstacle to tackle the end of road. it features a steep descent of 92 percent or almost $43.00 degrees. here's where gravity, physics nearly get the better of technology. range rover starts to slip a bit, but it still makes it through. as does our intrepid test, it seems like the ranges offer a dna remains as good or even better today, as it was when 1st launch back in the seventy's. which makes it the perfect car for serious off rotors or willing to part a lot of cold, hard cash in order to buy one. ah,
8:39 am
that's what happens if you take going off road too seriously. the car is dirty as hell, but i had a hell lot of fun and the car could do anything. i wandered from it. it got in the water, it got into steep passages. it has taken everything like a jam like land rover claim that who would have thought i wouldn't, but a car with an entry level price of almost $130000.00 euros. he won't take it into terrain that often that's clear. with its active limited slip differential at the rear axle and intelligent all wheel drive, the range rover can take on almost any terrain and still is incredibly comfortable . the price, however, is a huge down in
8:40 am
2020 bogota and the title of most congested city in the world. since then, the colombian capital has been fighting hard to find solutions to traffic and the pollution that comes with it. one solution is reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked to gas guzzling vehicles that transport goods. and they found a unique solution that does away with the internal combustion engine entirely. daniel sanchez used to be part of the problem. now he's part of the solution, a pioneer of change on the streets of bucko. tap me that i want to. i used to drive a truck. there were always 2 of us and yet okay. on the boat. everything took
8:41 am
a long because of the traffic or with having to look for a place to park. well, it was really tiring now to say miss demoss comes home. now he drives an electric delivery trying to cope. this is the cross docking station at the edge of the city center goods that transferred here from large trucks to the small eco friendly vehicles for delivery downtown the project was launched by the municipality. since now, last year, the green alliance has headed the city government for the 1st time. quite commonly, this young transfer board is responsible for about 79 percent of particulate emissions here and 39 percent of that amount them if you're results from transporting goodbye road. of course all you're welcome and what is but i'm trying to weigh about by switching to the new vehicles. we can cut emissions by 16 metric tons a day for b, so the impact will be q a block up,
8:42 am
follow up until of impact to from comp and then 50 the well, bank has made 300000 dollars available to the project. it's still early days during the current pilot phase, the fleet of small electric delivery vehicles, numbers, just a steve there's a work of us down to help in mid aid that the muddle designed to that city needs to be adapted to conditions in bogota. lab product that he has union, where the logistics are very different from it in bogota, retailers aren't concentrated in one district. was your horn put what we got? this stance is covered are much larger. so the wear and tear and the electric components as greater of the i'm what your marketing focus. we need to innovate and start working on improving the motor and the battery so much so we can provide the companies and the project with my with an efficient solution. but i let him put his as he, but i predict the loaner congo tricycles can carry one cubic meter of goods. that's
8:43 am
about 18th of the volume of a standard delivery. ah, daniel sanchez is destinations today, a small shops and pharmacies. he works on commission say for him, time is money and he zips from one customer to the next. the maneuvers his electric bike, 3 traffic jams, he's glad to be rid of his truck or when it but up in traffic. it's just the best thing, though i can go and bike lanes inside walks in anywhere. lo and i can take shortcuts. so i can get to any point really found either it's much better than before. this is the moment which is not being stuck in traffic and not having to look for a parking place makes delivering goods more efficient. several companies have signed up to the project. they not only want to cut their harmful emissions,
8:44 am
but also save time and money doing sign new. theresa is a major manufacturer of process and convenience foods. it's an ideal candidate for taking part in the pilot phase of the projects in columbia. and most of its products are sold in small corner shops and by street vendors. it be lot odella or miss the pilot phase has been running for just one month. thousands, but the results are already very significant and very positive from its yeah, look at, i saw 6 other companies in the city have also joined the project. honda and i hope many more well to focus on what using sustainable methods of transport has many advantages. a lot of people's quality of life anyway for the environment and the fees and for the development of urban logistics, emilio bnb. yes. how do you know he sequela? yeah. it's too soon to evaluate the pilot project as a whole. but daniel sanchez, but one hoops it will prove a success and set
8:45 am
a precedent. he says what days are said shooter now and his earnings higher. he also enjoys the attention passes by a fascinated the responded your when i'm out and about what i asked me is that your bike letter did i say sadly, no, it's not allow they find it really clear and think it's a good idea is my way. no exhaust nothing, that harms the environments where i live. i feel i'm promoting change, the cfo because they at the end don't come. sanchez still takes the bus home, but t saving up to buy a good bike. and then he'll contribute even more to the greening of the town. hi, i'm are only makes a beggar. i have 6 units, word records and tightest parallel parking. i used to stand in pedro cars, but now i have switched to standing an electric cars. and i have learned
8:46 am
a lot about electron mobility, and i need to share this knowledge with you. follow are very centered, 10 to 80 percent charging. dr. crunch. instead of react for now we would see of might have really work. there's a lot of things you can go wrong with your e v battery to day forever is going to tell you exactly how to keep your b, the battery. in best health it's very important to know what kind of battery is did in your eve. because different batteries have different chemistry, the way you treat them, make the difference, has not have many 2 types of lithium ion battery. one is alisium iron phosphate battery, usually found on all signal motor models. and then there's a nickel cool by aluminum battery. usually found on doing mortal models and how you treat these 2 batteries is different because my car has an
8:47 am
n. c a battery. i need to follow the guidelines for this particular 3 types which includes avoiding charging. it's 100 percent all the time. but this isn't the guideline for everything, a battery out there, and it's not necessarily what applies to the l. a. p better and might not apply to says less new or 4680 tablet battery either. so you really need to find out what your e v battery chemistry is in an idea, would each manufacturer tells you how to treat your battery right? if you haven't figured out yet, follow a very simple tend to 80 percent charging that would definitely keep your battery in that. in the case of my car, which has an n. c, a battery charging 200 percent regularly, but uses a battery life cycle. this is because when the battery is fully touched, the batteries voltage is higher and at higher voyages electrolyte begins to corrode
8:48 am
the electrons in the same way, letting the battery drain all the way to 0. also damages and reduces its lifecycle . manufacturers do have a safety margin bit into the battery because a usable capacity is less than the gross capacity. but if your battery remains between 10 to 80 percent charge, it should remain in good health. of course, like with everything the exceptions to this rule i. so now you are wondering when it is allowed to charge a battery to a 100 percent. i only do it when i drive off immediately. so a fully charged battery meeting, your departure time is the right way to do it. like i already explained, it's not good to keep charging evie battery to 100 percent, but it's even worse to have a fully charged it be sitting around without moving upgrade. because then you're just increasing the chances of battery damage. in my experience, charging all the way to a 100 percent only make sense at the start of
8:49 am
a long road. ah, stated earlier, batteries are made of chemical compounds, and chemical compounds react to temperature. which means if you live near the pool us, okay. or if you live in the middle of the desert, your battery might need some extra attention. so you should also know about your battery temperature limits. in my test, i model 3 performance, for example, plus 60 degrees and minus 30 degrees are the limits. so leaving your current, extreme heat or extreme coit, we're definitely damage the battery. of course, most east do have some sort of battery management system to protect the battery from extreme temperatures. but you can also do your bit to help the battery. some manufacturers recommend plugging the v into a charge to ensure the battery management system as joint power from the outlet instead of from the battery itself. and if your car has been standing out in the sun for a long time, moving it into the shade and allowing it to cool down before charging,
8:50 am
it will preserve the battery. if your craft been in the freezing coat, drive it around for a bit to warm up the battery and then charge it to make sure the battery is in good health. otherwise, your battery is in danger of something called lithium plating, which reduces its life cycle that has a battery management system kicks in even when the car isn't on or plucked into each other. and there's a kevin over a protection which switches on above certain temperatures to help preserve the cars, electronics, and also has a pass of influence on battery temperature. like a lot of things in life, even charging, it's all about balance. my advisors cards as low as possible, injustice fast if necessary. of course, a long trip you can use a fast charger. but in your commute, in your daily situation, use 11 kilowatts and you will be half of cost modern ease. due preconditioned the
8:51 am
battery to make sure that it's ready to ex energy at an accelerated rate. so this is what i have learned about how to keep my east bed for you, right? what i can recommend is don't be lazy or eat the you the manual and find out what's best for your very own tv. and watch out for the next episode. i will tell you how to drive energy efficient. the annual e v on this 100 acre property in eastern uganda, men and women are working around the clock to finish construction on uganda's 1st automotive manufacturing plant. by 2023. through the state run kiera motors corporation. uganda is investing over $50000000.00 to start mass production of electric vehicles among them, a solar powered bus yano. the british
8:52 am
that we have as a mission is we are rocket lumber equator. and you will receive 8 hours consistently, every, every day, throughout their of sunshine. the enhancement of efficiency in that area is still an area that is being studied by so many researchers to see if even the technology we are using might be the right one to any boss to have maximized session of efficiency to utilize a little bit the amount of of var avoid energy we had generated from the sun within a specific cross sectional area on a full charge. the prototype ca, eula, syllabus can cover up to 80 kilometers but as the local engineers improve it, the company has already commissioned electric buses that are charged using power from the national grid. this particular one called the chi eulley e b. s. could carry up to 90 passengers. it can run for about 300 kilometers on a single charge, reaching
8:53 am
a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour. we can't afford to wait for the future and then we say all can now everyone else is producing electric and let us jump on board and produce we capture that now so that by that time the entire world is using on the electric cars. we are also clean kiera motor started out as a student project. and in 10 years time has grown to a government supported company that aims to produce 1000 vehicles annually. like several other countries around the world, uganda to seize electric mobility as a means to reduce traffic congestion and decrease pollution caused by exhaust fumes and for the lead designer of the bus cleaning uganda's air is something of a personal goal to this friend of mine that might take,
8:54 am
i should say that whenever she's in come by law, how condition get much watch at the point of where she is. she has to carry how may be cash and i inhaler and her breathing is really much wise when she's been come by law compared to when she's i've come to ash day. so really definitely that solution. and that makes me feel better because i think we kind have at least have problem my just to that. and then other than building solar and electric vehicles, kiera motors has also tested hybrid technology. and it's again the kiera, e v. smack and thatcher, who still drives a gasoline powered car, can't wait to swap it out for an easy. she hopes that soon more ugandans will choose the same admission free path. i would really love that. we have
8:55 am
a cow in their road by 2025 that can allow me to drive an electric car the next few years and reduce the impacts of that internal combustion engines on the environment. it's the, i believe we have technology that kind of be able to change that game in uganda in africa. and they know that soon we'll be able to provide that passenger very cause that person like you and me kind of dr. t as e mobility ability is not new to uganda's roads. some private companies have already introduced electric motorcycles that are used by bike taxi operators and uganda's, capital kampala, the motorcycles have found favor with the uganda in public. then there are electric bicycles like the app for a cruise. this model runs on batteries that are charged by solar energy
8:56 am
with kiera motors main target for maintenance, mass transportation, and thatcher and pongo says that interest is high and orders for electric buses have started coming in. she hopes that this ugandan technology can eventually be exported across the continent with more future mobility on the next episode of ram. if ah, with
