finding solutions is a challenge to expedite it is due to an absence of climate policy. our efforts actually diminish because like what more can we do right now other than have in my disabled sports is the 77 percent in 60 minutes on dw, they want to know what makes with love and banning thing away from that. but i'm not going to have to work my own car and everyone with later holes in every day. getting a you ready to meet the gentleman then i me right, just do it on d. w. coming up on red giant, the world's biggest producer of e cars now aims to conquer europe. the mercedes e q. s s u v. a luxury electric golf roader and

a labor of love and gonna as a workshop breathes new life into classic cars with, with its electric car set to power ahead into the european market. does the future of e mobility belong to china? they have their products ready and they have a plan to conquer the european market. why are brands like me? you and they're innovative marketing strategies. years ahead of european automakers from left to fund. they've been putting in a lot of work over the last 2 decades to build up this industry lucas with about how to bide, manage to overtake previous market liter, tesla, and become the biggest e car maker on the planet. they control the whole

weighted chain of the electric head. ah, it's a very problematic situation for the european gar, manufacturers to germany and europe even stand a chance of catching up with a competition from china, or have they been left in the dust for good. so that is really a change of to types here. in 2022, the chinese auto industry launched an unprecedented offensive on the european market with over a dozen new vehicles covering all model categories. and the timing is hardly a coincidence. at the moment, we have a very special, a situation for the european car market. the prices for cars have gone up, met the same time, we need to achieve green and, and electrified mobility. and here is, i believe, for

a very good to some may call it a golden opportunity for new entrance in the game, mainly coming from china. e cars have recently become increasingly expensive in europe. among the reasons is domestic car makers model strategies. although russia's invasion of ukraine has also been a factor in a dramatic rise in energy cost for production in europe means that raw materials previously imported at low price from russia need to be acquired elsewhere. and for a lot of money transport and environment is an geo that conducts regular studies on cleaner transportation. it discovered that the proportion of new e cars on the roads of europe dropped to 11 percent in 2022. while in china, it increased to 18 percent here to chinese, outstripping europe. so what are the reasons this development some i'm not

traditionally far 1st of course there are the current supply chain problems, although that's more short term. and one at a lot of mistakes had been made in the past. the car lobby had been hoping that new combustion engine models would not after all, be banned in 2035. and there was a lot of dithering em, or naturalists either fill afresh. and now things really need speeding up on yet securing raw materials, speeding up supply chains, al r and ramping up battery production. and in the long term, looking at recycling facilities too. so that's a lot of factors to accommodate languor. perform can for faculty longer than when it comes to expanding its electron mobility industry. china has evidently done a number of things better than countries in europe, including germany. the chinese government has nearly a decade ago, recognized a debt. they're the new game. it's not the combustion engine, the more the new game is electrified mobility,

and they have set industry politic us a frameworks and also financial aids in order to motivate the local industry to develop a compelling offer. and now after many years of development, these are the products and the efforts i ripe. and with an eye on maximizing self sufficiency, china introduced a rash of state subsidies covering r and d for all e mobility components. offering buyer incentives, speeding up the certification process compared to non electric models. and last but not least, double the number of charging stations and the rest of the world combined with some of them in beijing for example, accessible to drivers at 0 cost. having a steady supply of required rama euros made before batteries may be for electric motors, or you name it as inc. this is a, this is a key, a key task for the government. they control way or chain of the electric car, including also were at the batteries,

especially in the field of battery to kamala, chief, several breakthroughs and advancement half feet made by the chinese industry. in addition to setting you standards with its innovative, lithium iron phosphate batteries bide also makes electric motors and chips all under the same roof. the world's biggest e car manufacturer has a wide range of models. european drivers can choose from the hon luxury sedan, the tongue as u. v. and a small compact called pato 3, and they cost up to a 3rd less than the respective european rivals. ah, they are broke the thing from a low energy prices because say using a high share of coal finance. yeah, china has secured access to

a lot of resources in africa to through direct foreign investment. it has totally different supply chains than we do with us. yeah, they also have more profitable working conditions with the environment and workers paying a lot of the price. right. and after i buy, that's my some cars are cheaper than in europe, too much bits anti glued together and i've pounds and i will pause while there is much to be critical of in terms of long term commitment, china's e mobility strategy is miles ahead of the west of yet sean active and they already want 80 percent of public fleet slide taxis and government vehicles and key regions to be 0 emissions vehicles. why? the kind of set up we're not even close to in europe who naturally thought al fish title and for pounds. and i will panel handcuffed, commercial customers and company cars or the entry market for new electric cars. who annoyed act was out and on that front door. fixed recently said that it was buying 100000 acres from china's by talent altos,

something is that she has to abide, and 6 is a german based international rental company. and in future, any one reserving, one of their e cars will have a 5050 chance of being handed, the keys to a slick looking bide like the hon. in fact, one, there are 2 reasons. first, the availability of cars and the foreseeable future of our and the fact that chinese models are certainly comparable to high and european models. we're twine our patient premium one day. when it comes to e mobility, the chinese are slowly but surely getting europe's traditional automakers hot under the collar. the german excellence internal combustion engines was undisputed but now was electric mobility out there that the cards got shuffled again. it's a very broad romantic situation from the european car manufacturers because the quality of the chinese sir electric cars is much better than it boss or

yeah, 2007 or 2008. when they at 1st started to to get into the european market and failed. meanwhile, neo has launched. it's 87 executive sedan in europe. it comes with a unique service program that enables drivers to swap empty batteries for full ones . in a matter of minutes. there will be neo houses opening across europe. upscale show rooms ended elevating the ownership experience and the neo mile range will soon see the addition of sub brands. for compact models. there's a strategy behind it. the key was to introduce a flagship, a halo model, right? which demonstrate that technology, which ha, ha, ha, ha, hi, price point and, and the house in margin right to start business, and then go into the mass market. a. china doesn't just have the executive segment in it's a from the sporty bide adder 3 to the multi purpose by

d one and the, or are one many. there are cars for every budget. and with a series of smaller models about to hit europe. at the lower cost segments, we see that the um yeah, there's no broad act offer from my are folks wagon or yeah. other, oh yeah, uber pin or western a common use actress m, but the chinese deliver the chinese government funded um a specially a small cause. the minuscule ruling. hong kong, for example, is the top selling e car in china, shifting well over a quarter of a 1000000 units in 2021. and that's in large part thanks to its low price there. the equivalent of $3700.00 euro's not surprisingly,

it is likewise headed for europe and is already on sale. in lithuania, the affordability of electric mobility. these is one of the key factors to master, to transition towards carbon neutral mobility has been dodge and alan terminate. the government wants to see 15000000 e vehicles on the roads by 2030. and it's now looking at which political steps would help consolidate that. and introduce even more e, carson, be a factor and it european manufacturers are unable to keep up. and then of course, customers are going to turn to a chinese car maker. saki and continental function is mashed allen. china is firmly in the fast lane and has already left the floundering european car industry in its wake. the chinese oems. they have started exactly how the european ca market works and how to successfully enter the car. mark. my bet would be that the china are successful in getting

a market share in europe in the forthcoming years. as the pays hots up, we'll european bill cars be able to catch up. is china's e car offensive a cause for alarm or catalyst? because the future of automotive production will likely be decided sooner rather than later in oregon to denver, colorado. right? next to me is the probably most luxurious electric s u b out there. right now the new mercedes benz e q s s u b. if that's true, we want to find out today, but 1st we'll head out of the city right into the mountains. oh, and we're going to change the color a little bit. as expected,

the flagship electric su, v of the brand comes with all the bells and whistles such as over the air updates for digital features and car software. the general driving impression in the u. s. s. u, v is some movers. hell, it is silent on the interior, you. he almost no wind noises then of course, you profit from the fact that electric cars are way more silent than for example, combustion engine cars. furthermore, the adaptive suspension keeps most of the bombs outside. so you don't really fill them in the interior. in fact, this is really close to what i would imagine. if i think about luxurious driving, ah, the entry level version, which is the us for 50 plus,

comes in with $265.00 kilowatt at the rear average consumption between $6.23 kilowatt hours per $100.00 k. i'm gonna give you the range of her own 536-2660 kilometers. the model is $580.00 for monday, which delivers $400.00 kilowatts and it will make the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and 4.6 seconds. while 6.7 seconds is the time the $450.00 plus takes me pretty like figures for a machine. this imposing the interior of b q s s, u, v. as you can tell at 1st, glad it's really high quality. you have some nice materials, nice stitching thing here. everything feed looks very luxurious. that in the middle

you have the infotainment system which is due to its size and the weights tilted pretty easily. usable, at least. that's what i think. furthermore, you have like 2 different options in head up displays, a smaller one, which we have right here. that gives you an image in around 4 and a half meters of distance that we have your most important information like speed, speed limit, and also navigation. if you're using it and then there is the bigger version, which is the mental reality head up display that will project in 10 meters of distance. and that means it's around 77 inches of picture you will get in your field of view. and that is pretty neat if you need it. i don't know, but i definitely go for the basic version because you will have your speed and the speed limit, which is also pretty nice because then you don't need to look down to check that me in the space on back is ample just as you can expect it from

a car that is more than 5 meters in length. you have a lot of leg room, a lot of head room, and it's also pretty luxurious. you have everything you need back here so you can adjust the seeds electrically. you can add some seed heating, you can adjust the temperature for the climate right here, and you can charge your smartphone with these to you sbc socket. and if you have nobody sitting in the center, then you can pull that down here while the smartphone charging a little space where you can have like maybe some snacks and cup holder here at the front. so basically you have everything you need for a long journey test car is equipped with an option, a 3rd row of seats. but as it's usual for luxurious cars, you don't have to follow the seats yourself. you simply press a button and they will move out of the way electrically. you have to be careful

though, because the 2nd someone presses the button, the front seat will also start to move. i mean, it can definitely fit back here, but you should not be taller than i'd say one meter in 70. but for children it's definitely the right place. i thanks to the adaptive suspension leak, us can be put into off road mode and lift the chassis by 22 millimeters that way and can handle all 4 passages that you would not expect from such a call within the motor on each axel the format of the versions are perfect for off road use, since the power can instantly be sent to the wheel with the highest traction. rear axle steering with up to $4.00 degrees comes to standard, making the huge car more maneuverable. the angle can really be increased to 10

degrees. this works by an over the air update that can be done any time. the battery of the e q s s, u, v has a little more than 107 kilowatt hours of available energy. and charging can be done with up to $200.00 kilowatts. that means 15 minutes of charging will give you around 250 kilometers of additional range. ah, once you pressed the brake pedal, the rakes were not actually started working, but 1st the electric motors will start to recuperating up to the maximum that they can perform. and it's only after that, if you need more breaking power, that the brakes will kick in that way, you will use less of your brakes so they will wear down slow and you will also recuperate energy. the driver can choose from 5 different dr. modes,

eco comfort, sport, individual and off road in the u. s. s. e v is a pretty luxurious vehicle, i could experience it today. no doubt about it. but there, of course vehicles out there that are a little more luxurious than this car could think about a landrover range rover awe. maybe the bandler been tega. but those do as of now not yet exist in purely electric version b, e u. s. s e v is highly luxurious, with surprisingly high off road capability and strong motors. on the downside, even the entry level version has a starting price of over $110000.00 euros in germany in

a graveyard. and at kroganow for used cars from europe. everybody is looking for their diamond and they're off a couple on a quest to keep german classics alive. people like us are responsible for keeping mostly cars on the road and the people who risked their health to find automotive treasure amongst trash. do we have for mini this? we don't have access to protective fluid. the love of vintage design, the economics of the scrap metal industry and at chris, do it yourself spirit come together here. my name is sid equal by you now. i know to mechanic and restore all foot masika electra. i just love the way most of these cars were built and the kind of engines they came with. most of these cargo j and his wife tina decided to turn their passion for classic vehicles into

a business for 10 years. vintage exotics has restored or refurbished over a 100 cars like these. this is a 1993 honda civic e g. m is a build as drain and this is a very rare vehicle. it is a c $43.00 a m g from $9.00 to $96.00, a concert of each engine. this is a mercedes, 190 ram for mercedes benz. and this is a very, very special car. this is a 2002 series from the end of u. m is the only one in the country. gonna imports about $100000.00 cars a year. 90 percent of these arrived in various states of disrepair. here most of these cars come from europe and america and, and most of them come in to gonna salvage salvage. mean, sam, slightly damage. understandably, it doesn't take long before a cars with one wheel in the grave, qualified to go fix it under. once the car reaches the end of its driving life,

it ends up here at the, at bob glossy scrapyard where nothing goes to waste. nowhere in the middle of a mobility scrap yard, and this is where most of their old cars that are no longer in use of the pop up. so everybody's looking for their diamond in the rough mechanics like myself. we tend to come here when we're looking for how to find parts. it help us to source pop. luckily ramadan, imports indigo, wondering what pop the duties are extremely with on site workers. process up to 20 cars a day meticulously, dismantling them to sort and harvest valuable components veritable automotive gold . you need skills to diaz, these kind of work to do new where to cut out where and what to cut and data from pass today are very dangerous.

a car comprises of so many companies that in gin their wires their body, the seeds then then they lead us inside. we have to come and dare to move everton and then we sort it usable parts get bought by mechanics for car repairs. those but no one wants including engine blocks get broken down sorted and so just scrapped the steel industry today. jay has spotted something he likes were coming. i thought he got a couple of the wheels underneath the truck that my i caught my eye and i, i decided to get them. these are the wheels. uri's in wheels. that's what i'd like them to looking for one floor. well, going to strip the paint to restore it and put it on one of my

d. the best of the metallic harvest goes to nearby market. and with his citron rally will secured. that's where jay is heading next. a go, i'm in the middle of. i will feel kind of the bigger still to move to markets in gonna he looked to the left, you see m replacements there in pools, an airbag. and if you look them are right. you see a lot of brake pads, horses for on utah, right? utah, hoses and more steering wheels, shock absorbers, and things like that. so this is like being in the candy store because all deposit, i need them for restore my classic cost. this is why i am a couple of students. i just purchased a home for the school on 190, a mercedes benz on the mighty 90 the whole house, a customer who is making the vehicle by heat. so i'm going to replace it with this . back at the workshop,

tina is eager to see what jay has brought home. when i saw that he was, i was a quite excited alley. i was really excited when i saw it because it's, it's a rare thing to find. whoa. where he found it's. it's another thing altogether the to waste no time getting to work on the restoration. stripping off the old paint and reconditioning the metal beneath. but there is still the beloved mercedes, w 2, a $1190.00 with a radiator leak. this car was built in germany in 1983, nearly 4 decades on command genuity of kaneen scrap workers help keep it going and it's a success. another classic car rescued from the scrap heat and another used european vehicle given a 2nd life on west africa roads. very

heartbreaking to see a lot of vehicles being cut up for gun metal. but am people like us are responsible for keeping most of these cars on the road to them is just a matter that they are going to scrap book. but then to us it's something you'd be of great value. so we're happy to be part of the journey of keep in these vehicles alive. and the whole purpose is to keep it around for the next generation. and them help develop the next phase of the ultimate of culture tuning next time for more exciting developments from the world of mo

ah, with who the 77 percent of the site to water in africa is being waged with weapons, countryside, residents, god, what few resources they have finding solutions is

a challenge for experts say is due to an absence of a climate policy. our if was actually diminished because like what more can we do to to know other than have images, cities, policies that do 7 per cent. in 30 minutes on d, w, in 2009, the world was struggling with the consequences of the financial crisis. trust and bank with broken currency commit to coin. it promised to bypass banks and be digital autonomous and direct. but who's behind it? the sato sheet mystery. in 75 minutes on d w. oh. sure. that people the world over information. they provide

them opinions. they want to express d, w on facebook and twitter, up to date and in touch. follow us. oh okay, and again, all the harvesters are immigrants going. if they come in, every thing you enjoy eating at home with your family was harvested by people who are being exploited. then i guess we're gonna need to, we can't keep doing what we're doing for that. we need to be commit sustainable as possible, and that's why your green revolution can absolutely necessary. europe reveals the future is being determined. now, our documentary theories will show you how people, companies and countries are we thinking everything and making may to change his

life. we don't do something our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air. dealing with this week on d. w. it's with, ah ah, this is didi of you news liar from berlin. iran's leaders appear to make a big concession. after months of anti government protests and violent crackdowns, the country so called morale, morality police is abolished also coming up on.
