this glistening place of morning, the mediterranean sea, it's waters connect people of many cultures seen of almost rock and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and mediterranean, where it has history left its traces. meeting people hearing their dreams. editorial journey this week on d. w to day on read the auto and mobility. so how hard core an off road or is the range rover? how to keep your e d battery in good health and how keira motors hopes to electrify uganda

with the land rover range rover and i can in the segment off a 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 would be 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 cause the systems and yeah, look at the obstacles. and once we get started, we can dry freight. and that's what we're going to do right now. let's go. time to see what our red testers made. no right now we are heading fall. the 1st

obstacle. what is that? i've got a little here. hello here. you'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 with a low ridge, low range engaged. 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. 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 if you're falling like in the bronze and we put the 2nd gear and yes. and 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 pete's a little easier than driving down because you don't have the idea that you're going to fall like on the car is gonna fall on 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. if possible. back into 1st or back into 1st. exactly. we've got our 1st system which we can use here and control which works on it's, i 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 taking my foot out. doing a very good was to 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 cost. very good. once we're asked to slope, we can counter throttle again. you can change gears into 3rd because we learned

range. it's no problem. well, seems like 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. i 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 the 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 would have to danger to flip, but it feels it's. we're going to take some precautions. you've got to be careful. watch load. you go on your route for the boot. yeah,

no obstacles to crash over. but once you've done all of that, you're actually quite safe. incredible. it's a relief that a manual 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 the range rover with the asked suspension we can do for 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

certainly not daunted by a little water crossing with engines ranging from a 3 leader miles hybrid diesel. with 183 kilowatts to a top of the line by terrible that puts out 390 kilowatts. there's plenty of guantanamo and the plug in hybrids have a pure electric range of up to 109 kilometers. 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 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 the animation we're going up and down with the wheels. but the car itself is quite steady and it's trimming 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 the range rovers wheels in the air party tricks 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,

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 92 percent or almost $43.00 degrees gears where gravity and physics nearly get the better of technology. range rover starts to split it, but it still makes it through. as does our intrepid test, it seems like the range is offered, 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 were willing to part a lot of cold, hard cash in order to buy one.

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 was 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

. 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 on yet. okay. on the boat. everything took

a long because of the traffic drama with having to look for a place to park. oh, it was really tiring now to save 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 welcoming this young child support is responsible for about 79 percent of particulate emissions here. again, 39 percent of that amount them if your results from transporting foods by road across 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 huge, okay. balloon thumbs up. follow up until of impact to from comp and then the well, bank has made $300000.00 available to the project. it's still early days. during the current pilot phase, the fleets have small electric delivery vehicles, numbers just a standard then the work of astound up in mid eighty's. but the muddle designed to that the city needs to be adapted to conditions in the hotel lab product that he has union, where the logistics are very different from it. added in bogota. retailers aren't concentrated in one district, was your horn book, but until i 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 aggregate the loaner congo tricycles can carry one cubic

meter of goods. 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. oh wanted, but i've been 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 fast. i do. it's much better than before if you moment just 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. 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 latoya or miss . the pilot phase has been running for just one month, thousands, but the results are already very significant and very positive from excel. with that, i saw 6 other companies in the city have also joined the project had been in and i hope many more well, 2 factors had with using sustainable method of transport has many advantages. a lot of the people's quality of life, of for the environmental peace and for the development of urban logistics and media b, n b. yes. how do you know he sequela it's too soon to evaluate the pilot project

as a whole. but daniel sanchez, but one thing that will prove a success and set a precedent. he says his work days are a 3rd sure to now and his earnings higher. he also enjoys the attention passes by a fascinated the almost under your when i'm out and about what i'll ask me is that your bike letter? and 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. but i listen, i feel i'm promoting change the cfo to say at the end, don't come deal. sanchez still takes the bus home, but he's saving up to buy a good bike, and then he'll contribute even more to the greening of the town. hi, i'm ronnie makes omega. i have 6 units word. i got 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, and need to share this knowledge with you. follow a very center tend to 8 percent charging. dr. crunch. instead of way for now, we will 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 baby bedroom in best health. it's very important to know what kind of battery is it in your ear, because different batteries have different chemistry the way you treat them make the difference, has less have many 2 types of lithium ion battery. one is the lease you myron phosphate battery, usually found on all single motor models. and then there's a nickel cool by aluminum battery, usually found on do immortal models and how you treat these 2 batteries is

different. because myco has an n. c, 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 everything a battery out there, and it's not necessarily what applies to the l. a. p. bedroom and might not apply to says less new, 4680 tablet battery either. so you really need to find out what your e v battery cam is. fits in an idea, would each manufacturer tell you how to treat your battery right? if you haven't figured out yet, follow a very simple tend to 80 percent charging that will definitely keep your battery in the in the case of my car which has an n. c, a battery charging 200 percent regularly produces a batteries life cycle. this is because when the battery is fully trach, the batteries voltages higher and at higher boy digits and 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 . 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. so now you are wondering when it is allowed to charge your 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, keep charging the battery to 100 percent, but it's even worse to have a fully charged e v 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 longer term. as stated 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 coit, we're definitely damaged 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,

it will preserve the battery. if your crass been in the freezing call it 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 light 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 all to has a positive influence on battery temperature. like a lot of things in life. even charging, it's all about my advisors, besides as slow as possible and just as fast as necessary. of course, a long trip. you can use a pass ga, but in your community, in your daily situation, use 11 kilowatts and you will be head of cost. modern

e v 's do preconditioned the 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 ease betsy, 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. 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 the on the british that

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 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 it that the amount of of our afford maggi we are generated from the fund within a specific cross sectional area on a full charge. the prototype ca eula sol of us can cover up to 80 kilometers but as the local engineers improve it, the company has already commission to electric buses that are charged using power from the national grid. this particular one called the car eulley e v. s. can carry up to 90 passengers. they can run for about 300 kilometers on

a single charge, reaching a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour. we can no longer afford to wait for the future. and then we say all can now everyone else is producing electric douglas as a jump on board and produce we captured 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,

i should say that whenever she's in come by law as one dish on get much watch at the point of where she is. she has to carry her medication with her. i inhaler and her breathing is really much wise when she's been come by law compared to when she's in our country where she's day. so i really can 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 evie smack satcher 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 a mission free path. i would really love that we have

a cow and our road by 2025, that kind of allow me to drive an electric car in 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 and africa. and they know that soon we'll be able to provide a passenger very because that person like you and me cut and dry that makes t as b e. mobility is not new to uganda's roads. some private companies have already introduced electric motorcycles that are used by pike taxi operators in uganda's, capital, kampala, the motorcycles have found favor with the uganda in public. then there are electric bicycles like the f recruit.

this model runs on batteries that are charged by solar energy 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 friends. ah, ah .
