drowning in plastic white we, we like to look at the causes every year of the exports are $1000000.00 tons of plastic with there. another way. after all, the environment isn't recyclable. make up your own mind. d. w. made for minds. oh to day on read the fastest golf in bosnia hey about yeah, good fiance, what i can um ah. c with

we yes. valley started broadway already out there looking for the latest trends in the automotive sector. welcome to rick. this is how we vis d. m. w can talk and changes color like a chameleon. the german car maker has brought quite a show to las vegas, the message, a new vision of intelligent, highly digitalized cars. the b m w i vision d as a concept car. but the technology is meant to go into mass production. a futuristic midsize sedan with a new pare down design language. the name deed stands for digital emotional experience, the mixed reality slider in combination with the advanced head up display in the digital highlight, providing an immersive experience for the drivers and impressive

blend defeat analog, empty at all worlds. last year, sony and honda have anal if a joint venture for electric cars and now we know the name of the brand. if you don't mean halt, we love and this is the 1st of all the feel at e v. sedan still does not have an official name, and most technical details are still to be announced. but what we do know is that the car features some 45 cameras and sensors scattered inside and out. it will use technology from semiconductor company. qualcomm, including its snapdragon, digital chassis, is glad to come on to the market in 2025 and be shipped to customers in 2026 hunting motor and he had 0. 1 creative talent platform are showcasing 10 innovative startups. the comic of strategy is to nurture an ecosystem for creators. the start ups, profit from hun days, knowledge. well hon day profits from fresh ideas and talent. it's not the 1st time

the koreans have undertaken a project like this. in 2017, the group helped out a startup aiming to improve vehicle air quality. that technology is set to be introduced in all of its vehicles this year. while a manufacturer, how walking away from autonomous mobility for individual vehicles. that is still walking home, these autonomous cars, not for individual people, but on the largest scale. so for public transportation, along with the reveal the new version of its autonomous shuttle german companies ab f has announced a partnership with mobility provider beep to bring the new generation autonomous level for shuttle to the us market. the previous generation shuttle is already in service on a public test track in the netherlands. i like the new version. these vehicles need segregated lanes to help them operate safely. the advantage all versions have in common is that they don't need a driver and can therefore operate 247,

making transportation easily available in more rural areas. the inception concept is a glint, set the future design language. a push o models based on st. alanta says s t l, a large platform. the car is 5 me this long, but just 1.34 meters tall. it uses an $800.00 volt technology with a 100 kilowatt hour battery offer up to 800 kilometers of range on a single charge. thanks to lets induction charging system. the battery can add up to 150 kilometers of range in just 5 minutes to sum it up. and if he, if he as well, huge and i do not mean that in a positive way because i spent a way too much time, hopefully walking between the halls and also sitting in some losses to get to even more distant places just to get a glimpse at almost everything i wanted to see,

and it is your way too much. but the things i saw what very interesting, autonomous thriving is not that big anymore as it was in the previous years. because it still has it in a different style. normal autonomous driving for individual calls to call public transportation instead. and i think that's a pretty neat idea. ah, i'm in bosnia herzegovina, the country where they're pretty crazy about one very particular account with the goals and volkswagen, a number one choice for the, for the boise and people. some people say the goals, legendary status here was born during bosley, as war of independence. the ninety's, but the story goes back further than that. as i found out why is the

a loving retirement home in his garden. with a square block, they're going to try to find this all conditions, right. i'll keep this afternoon with the nuns, high speed hobby. it means fred, nurse and spare parts, but who can resist and wants to sound like this? something is wife eventually learned to live with. the meanest golf and bosnia nickname, b. r, for veronica is given a final check before all a test drive. the engine is longitudinally mounted, which is why the radiator had to make way and be fitted on the outside. ah, the only remaining headache now is the fuel pipe, but it's nothing d skia it's can sort out. ice and snow will just for me. i wish we'd spoken recently more thought evictions with none and

a lumped in a few years after the war. it reopened business as b, w. w. only parts of the factory a used by v w. today with the us run deduct. it looked to me like a place on the brink of closure despite the money and effort invested after the war . as some of the pictures is show was back in the days actually reconstruction. 96 to 97 look totally devastated. war torn factory officers destroyed empty construction sites here. while the factory reopened in 1098 with great hopes and expectations, v w is bossy and venture never properly recovered. ah, only around $170.00 of the ones. 3 and a half 1000 strong workforce returned. they know assembled,

scrapping them all in the name of c o. 2 neutrality doesn't make sense. and we would like to electrify as many of these vehicles as possible as a way to supplement new vehicles again. so we are planning growth across europe. on my 2026, i would like to convert 5000 buses to past 26 and 20 who to can from 1000 put on was a retrofit upgrade as environmentally friendly and cheaper. it costs around half as much as a brand new hipa. old my to out me one, it sounds easy, but it's not. engine is spent a year figuring out how to make it. what with the earth out, what on is the biggest challenge is development shit up. all the actual manufacture is easy. the difficulty is the development behind its integration dog getting the components into the space previously intended for something else. a bus isn't

designed for batteries or other power sources. it's built around an engine, got it, and now we have batteries and they have to fit in somewhere designed. that's the challenge to miss nick. i know dust out a little the engine used to be where the batteries are now and in boost bonia. we install lithium, ion phosphate batteries in the buses. he knew it was, the batteries are non combustible, and do not require nickel or manganese with the empty bottling in our buses. the batteries are underneath the passengers, patasha, so it's better ish if the material beneath them is non explosive. mother on 6 was even on the engine is now in the tires. it's called a wheel hub. moto, it's much smaller, but much more efficient than the older ones. yeah, entity got amiga, mac, a mega market is currently being created here will be broach and that's also

a big point of criticism. beyond that, we as germany warrant up the forefront, young ally, we waited for others to do the work. while we kept developing our 6 shoulder diesel or gasoline engines, that's why we're now stepping up our efforts to catch up on how we can see that this conversion concept will work world wide. and that's what we're working toward . off his engulf, issued retrofitting old muscles instead of buying expensive new ones. it's one i did in the fight against climate change and one doesn't. emily walks the buses. see you next time on row. ah, ah, with
