9:30 pm
ah, listen carefully. don't know how you live today. ah, feel the magic discovery of the world around you subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. to day on ref, the audio and mobility. so how hard core and off road or is the new range rover? audi, keep your e t battery in good health and health care motors hopes to electrify uganda
9:31 pm
with their land rover range rover and i can in the segment, offer luxurious offer orders 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 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 fruit and metals. we're going to do right now. let's go. time to see what our read testers made though, right now we are heading for the 1st obstacle or what is there?
9:32 pm
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 with a low ridge, low range engaged. exactly. change into 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. so stevens grades, i mean you probably can see this on camera, but it really is like 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, 2 or 4 wheels on the obstacle and they will turn left when driving up. it's always
9:33 pm
a 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 as 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 assa, slow, we can count again. you can change gears into 3rd because when loan range, it's no problem. well, seems like
9:34 pm
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 let 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 would have to danger to flip, but if feels, if it's were of course, take some precautions, you've got to be careful. watch load, you go on your route for the boot. yeah, no obstacles to crush over, but i once you've done all of that,
9:35 pm
you're actually quite safe. incredible. ah, 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 on 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
9:36 pm
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 grant on 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 actual application, which means the axles will point in the opposite direction, which is enough, rotating 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. you've got a good line keeping the middle. as you can see that imation we're going up and down
9:37 pm
with the wheels. but the car itself is quite steady. and it's true. i mean, if he is pretty smooth so and even though the wheels are nealy and the f o 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 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,
9:38 pm
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 in 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,
9:39 pm
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 it 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 the intelligence 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
9:40 pm
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 bubble top. me that i wanted, i used to drive a truck. they were always 2 of us and yet okay. on the boat. everything took along
9:41 pm
because of the traffic there. having to look for a place to park for it was really tiring. not to say miss demoss comes out. now he drives an electric delivery tricycle. 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. and 39 percent of that amount them is the results from transporting goodbye road. of course, 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 a b. so the impact will be huge for and sandra,
9:42 pm
followed uncle of impact to from comp on been 50. 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 a sound up in mid eighty's. but the muddle designed to that the city needs to be adapted to conditions in bo time like product that he has union more. the logistics are very different from media in bogota. retailers aren't concentrated in one district, was your horn book, but 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 it, but aggregate the loaner congo tricycles can carry one cubic meter of goods.
9:43 pm
that's about one, a, the volume of a standard delivery truck. daniel centers is destinations today of small shops and pharmacies. he works on commission say for him, time is money and he zips from one customer to the next. he maneuvers his electric bike 3 traffic jams. he's glad to be rid of his truck or wanted, but i think traffic is just the best thing though. i can go and bike lanes inside walks in anywhere low and i can take shortcuts. so i can get to any point really fast. i do. it's much better than before is momentum, 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. theresa is
9:44 pm
a major manufacturer of processed 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'd be latoya or miss. the pilot phase has been running for just one month. 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 focus on what using sustainable methods of transport has many advantages. a lot of the other people's quality of life for the environmental peace and for the development of urban logistics and medium b and b. yes. how do you know he's the coil after it's too soon to evaluate the pilot project as a whole. but daniel sanchez,
9:45 pm
but one thing that will prove the 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 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 what i listed . i feel i'm promoting change the cfo to say and 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, we're only makes omega. 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
9:46 pm
a lot about electron mobility, and i need to share this knowledge with you. follow are 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 b bedroom 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. there's less 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, but aluminum battery usually found on doing mortal models and how you treat these 2 batteries is different. because myco has an n c,
9:47 pm
a battery. i knew 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 better and might not apply to says less new, 4680 tablet battery either. so you really need to find out what your evie 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 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 a batteries life cycle. this is because when the battery is fully trach, the batteries voltage is higher and at higher boy digits and electrolyte begins to corrode the electrons in the same way,
9:48 pm
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. ah, 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
9:49 pm
a long road. as 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 damaged the battery. of course, most movies 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,
9:50 pm
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 also has a pass of 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
9:51 pm
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 where i would 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. ya know,
9:52 pm
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 sun 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
9:53 pm
can no longer 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 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,
9:54 pm
i should say that whenever she's in come by law and how condition gets much was at the point 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 have that. and then other than building solar and electric vehicles, kiera motors has also tested hybrid technology in it's again the curate evie smack sand 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
9:55 pm
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 can drive that next year as a 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 z. this model runs on batteries that are charged by solar energy.
9:56 pm
with kiera motors main target for maintenance, mass transportation and thatcher and hunger 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 aah!
9:57 pm
with a chronicle of a scan document and anti semitism on the 15th world art exhibition in cash. it wanted to promote understanding what it was
9:58 pm
overshadowed by a bitter dispute of were anti semitic imagery and art corpse. the documentary scandal close up in 90 minutes on d. w. o is just a thought say well crazy to ah mm hm.
