chance with blows both ways. how wind affect climate change in 30 minutes and d, w, and global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make seniors greener? how can we protect habitants? we can make a difference. global ideas, the environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online today on ref, the audio and mobility. so how hard core an off road or is the new range rover? how to keep your e, the battery in good health, and how kira motors hopes to electrify uganda
6:31 am
with the land rover 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 all we want to find out today. and the best place to test would be insane terrain, and the land rover experiencing booth. 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 explain the cost the systems and yeah, look at the obstacles. and once we get started, we can dry free. and that's what we're going to do right now. let's go. time to see what our red testers made. so right now we are heading fall, the 1st obstacle. what is that? i've got little here hill here. we've got
6:32 am
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 to obstacle, which means once you've lined up, we just need to follow the path. we can activate the cameras. now i need to concentrate to stay on the break buddy just for the bit where we come on to the right. again, it's so steven square, 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. tried to keep the engine steady. perfect. perfect, right up to the top to all 4 wheels on the obstacle and then we'll turn left when driving up. it's always pizza, little easier than driving down because you don't have the idea that you're going
6:33 am
to fall like on the car is going to fall off. you're going to be in, it's ok. 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 system which can use here and control which works on it's i'm, you 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 and take him a foot up. and doing a very good. what's the charm? it's just keeping us at like 2 kilometers l. really so. mean, you don't want it to hit the ground with the car. very good. once we're slope, we can counter throttle again. you can change gears into 1st because we're in low range. it's no problem. well, seems like
6:34 am
a manual 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 straight. 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. well, 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 nothing 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, no obstacles to crash over. but once you've done all of that,
6:35 am
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 heck 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. and 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 for 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
6:36 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 kilowatts. there's plenty of grants on and the plug in hybrids have a pure electric range of up to 109 kilometers. now we're heading towards 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 an off roading. one of the most difficult obstacles you will notice at the moment. it's the 1st hill we're going over. and i, once both axes are in the obstacle, it's getting very interesting. you've got a good line here in the middle. as you can see here in animation,
6:37 am
we're going up and down with the wheels. but the car itself is quite steady. and it's 2 minutes. if he is pretty smooth, so and even though the wheels are nearly in the air for a moment, you hardly notice it in 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 set to be launched in 2024. it's meant to look like the standard range in 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 all she can do, i mean, of course, land rover. they claim their range rover is also offer a cable. luxurious,
6:38 am
no question, 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 i'll read test or get a well earned rest. there's one last obstacle to tackle the end of road. it features a steep descent of 90. 2 percent are almost $43.00 degrees gears where gravity in physics nearly get the better of technology range rover starts to split 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 launched back in the seventy's. which makes it the perfect car for serious off rotors were willing to part a lot of cold, hard cash in order to buy one.
6:39 am
that's what happens if you take going off road too seriously. the car is dirty as hell, but i had a hell, a lot of fun and the car could do anything. i wonder from it. it got in the water. it got into steep passages. it has taken everything like a champ, 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 it down ah .
6:40 am
in 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 bobo, top me that i want to. i used to drive a truck. there were always 2 of us. i had okay on the boat. everything to go long
6:41 am
because of the traffic drama with having to look for a place to park. well, it was really tiring, not 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 this 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 welcoming this young child support is responsible for about 79 percent of particulate emissions here again. and 39 percent of that amount them is the results from transporting goodbye road across all you're welcome and what is but i'm fine with what if my switching to the new vehicles, we can cut emissions by 16 metric tons a day for b. so the impact will be cute tripler and dug up. follow up until of impact to from
6:42 am
comp on vent. this is the well, bank has made $300000.00 available to the project. it's still early days during the current pilot phase, the fleet of small electric delivery vehicles numbers just a standard then the work of a sound up in mid eighty's. but the muddle designed to that the city needs to be adapted to conditions and over time like product that he has union more. the logistics are very different from the data in bogota. retailers aren't concentrated in one district. was your horn for 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.
6:43 am
that's 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. wanted, but i've been traffic. it's just the best thing though. i can go and bike lanes inside walking anywhere and i can take shortcuts. says i can get to any point really fast. i guess 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, but also save time and money doing sign. new teresa is
6:44 am
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 is 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 a look at. i saw 6 other companies in the city have also joined the project huntington, and i hope many more well to 2nd, edward using sustainable methods of transport has many advantages. a lot of the people's quality of life, of the newly for the environment and the fees and for the development of urban logistics, emilio ambient, the yes. hello, you're lucky sequela. few it's too soon to evaluate the pilot project as a whole. but daniel sanchez, but one hopes it will prove a success and set
6:45 am
a precedent. he says his work days are a 3rd show to now and his earnings higher. he also enjoys the attention, processed by a fascinated the almost under your when i'm out and about what i'll ask me is that your bike think lizard and i say sadly, no, it's not a law. they find it really corridor and think it's a good idea, is more a way no exhaust, nothing. that harms the environment's what i listed. i feel i'm promoting change ccnp though, because they and don't come you. sanchez still takes the bus home, but saving up to buy a good bike, and then he'll contributes even more to the greening of the tongue. hi, i'm are only makes a beggar. i have thick skin as 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 a lot about electron mobility and,
6:46 am
and need to share this knowledge with you. follow a 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. or if it's 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 that in your ear. 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 single 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 n. c,
6:47 am
a battery. i need to follow the guidelines for this particular battery type, which includes avoiding charging a 200 percent all the time. but this isn't the guideline for every single battery out there. and it's not necessarily what applies to the l a. p better and might not apply to tesla's new or 4680 tablet battery either. so you really need to find out what your e v 's battery cameras for years. in an idea would each manufacturer tells you how to treat your battery right. if you haven't figured out yet low a very simple tend to 80 percent charging that will 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 the batteries life cycle. this is because when the battery is fully charge, the batteries voltage is higher and at higher voyages electrolyte begins to corrode the electrons in the same way, letting the battery drain all the way to 0. also damages and reduces its lifecycle
6:48 am
. manufacturers do have a safety margin bit into the battery because a usable capacity is less than the gross capacity. but if you're bet we remains between 10 to 80 percent charged, it should remain in good health. of course, like with everything the exceptions to this rule. ah. 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 e 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 a long road. as stated
6:49 am
earlier, batteries are made of chemical compounds, and chemical compounds react to temperature. which means if you live near the pool, us ok. 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 cold, we're definitely damage the battery of cars. most evey's 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 better. 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 it will preserve the battery. if your crass been in the freezing call it drive it
6:50 am
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 a charter. 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 charge 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 pre condition the
6:51 am
battery to make sure that it's ready to accept energy at an accelerated rate. so this is what i have learned about how to keep my easiest bed for you, right? what i can recommend is don't be lazy or eat the use of manual and find out what's best for your very own tv. and watch out for the next episode, where i will tell you how to drive energy efficiently. annual easy on this 100 acre property in eastern you, wanda. men and women are working around the clock. the finished 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. ya know, the british,
6:52 am
but we are by the mission is we are rocket lumber, you quitter. and you will receive 8 hours consistently, every, every day, throughout their of sunshine. the enhancement of efficiency met 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 live in the amount of over a voyage we had generated from the fund 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 ca eulley e. b. s can carry up to 90 passengers. it can run for about 300 kilometers on a single charge, reaching a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour. we
6:53 am
can no longer afford to wait for the future. i live, we say all can now everyone else is producing electric as low as a jump on board and produce we capture that now. so that by that time that into our wild is using one the electric cars. we are also playing kiera motor started out as a student project that in 10 years time is grown to a government supported company that aims to produce $1000.00 vehicles annually. like so, 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, i should say that whenever she's in come by law,
6:54 am
how condition get much was at the point where she is. she has to carry how may, because i inhaler and her breathing is really much wise when she's been come by law compared to when she's in. i've come to ashley dave. so really definitely that solution provide that makes me feel better because i think we kind have at least have problem my just to us 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 a cow and i rode by 2025 that can allow me to drive an electric car in the next
6:55 am
few years and reduce the impact of that. a mesh, an agent on the environment. it's the i believe we have boss 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 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 half recruit. this model runs on batteries that are charged by solar energy
6:56 am
ther, 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. and she hopes that this ugandan technology can eventually be exported across the continent with more future mobility on the next episode of friends. if ah, with
