c with me, yes. valley started father. we already out there looking for the latest trends in the automotive sector. welcome to read. this is how we vis d. m. w can talk and change its 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 mid sized sedan with a new pare down design language. the name d stand for digital emotional experience. the next reality slider in combination with the head up display is the digital highlight,

providing an immersive experience for the driver. and impressive blend of the analog empty at all worlds. last year, tony and honda have a now is a joint venture for electric cars. and now we know the name of the brand its young hall wheeler. and this is the 1st model is the feel it easy. 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 at snap dragon digital chassis, is glad to come on to the market. in 2025 will be shipped to customers in 2026 hunting motor and he had 0. 1 creative talent platform are showcasing 10 innovative startups. the comic her strategy is to nurture an ecosystem for creators. the start

ups, profit from hun days, knowledge, well 100 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. well, a manufacturer how walking away from autonomous mobility for individual vehicles that is still working on these autonomous cars. not for individual people, but on the largest scale. so for public transportation, along with the reveal of 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. se 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 to lanta says s t l, a large platform. the car is 5 me this long, but just 1.34 meters tall. it uses $800.00 volt technology with a 100 kilowatt hour battery, offering up to 800 kilometers of range on a single chart. thanks to it's induction charging system, the battery can add up to 150 kilometers of range in just 5 minutes. we sum it up and if he, if he adds a huge and i do not mean that in a positive way because i spent a way too much time walking between the halls and also sitting in some glasses to

get to even more distant places just to get a glimpse at almost everything i wanted to see and it is 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. is it still has it in a different style? no more telling them of driving for individual calls are about to call public transportation instead. and i think that's a pretty neat idea. ah, i'm in bosnia herzegovina 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 people. some people say the goals, legendary status here was born during bosley as war independence in the 90s. but

the story goes back far further than that. as i found out why is the goal so adored in bosnia and car napping for ransom? i felt with my journey begins at an old airfield near the city of tucson in the north east of the country. and on that middle, which is the fastest man in bosnia over 400 meters on the road, that is not the running track with that's a scary base. the fast, the golf and ball. they all my god with the golf mark to meticulously put together by a non and his t. it's fitted with a tree point 6 liter pasano engine. and currently both some $840.00 horse power. and a really me look good. i

can see on check with non installed a new and his mission to set a new record of the next meet. but 1st the test one will show what are the cars potentially up to the task? ah, we scream from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 2 seconds, and there's no stopping us a flat out hail mary, run with no seat belts inside. in a customized bosnian gall. ah, with a couple of hours earlier, i met none at his home on the outskirts of to his line where he lists his passion

for fox marks, a busted of them digital niema is perfect, living in both fields, pursuit then other that lack of non spent a few years in germany during the war and speaks to language fluently. he set up his car workshop next to his house, 2009, and also keeps his collection of racing trophies dare as 50 so it will be a year even so on the vice, there's no set of these walking with annoyance. why? right? that's why you certified you must be dom icon, the regional tool. so if you go into the slides will be the best way to see via the my son in mrs. mitchell for me. ok, nancy, 1st of a car was also a golf to. so even old spare parts have

a big sentimental value, and he gives them a loving retirement home in his garden with a square block, they're going to try to find this all condition is ricky. i'll keep this up with nouns, 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, v. 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 spoke recently more thought evictions. ah, ah,

none and his team are often busy tweaking the golf late into the night. to date, he's invested around 20000 euros in the car and souped it up to the best part of 1000 horsepower. some people do yoga arden on golf. ah, really so lucy, stressing dark out of those. or rick is shide shy. saw by them all over benroski mosquito is if it is okay for the summit. i guess ordinance fascination with the golf began when he was just a boy. but why is it that german comic a v w is so wildly popular across the entire country? and it was not at walt person void for the model organism. as licensed, good zip is toya. didn't all really go to it, but it didn't all who daughters that comes to the company, not sure shouldn't kyo, that what they sees directly it is friday,

work in progress, but to car cost, just $250.00 euros and is otherwise good to go. which one is the most famous of all the golf carts here in bosnia? i think this one. you can see this car on every corner. you go here in bus, especially like whatever you go, you see this car, good, bad rusty or something. you will see it and people like it. it's like a legend. yes. it's like college. the v. w. bosnia story, again, 1972 fox walking teamed up would look a comic an audit for a joint venture call. it's monica auto. be locked. sorry. it's factory had a workforce of 3 and a half 1000 people. dissembling 1st, beetles and later, 1st and 2nd generation goals. tough yugoslav, west germany success story ned that will head to which worked into sarajevo factory

a very prosperous factory. one time we saw that there total empty a few years after the war, it reopened business as p. w several, you only parts of the factory. i used by v w today. what the us rented out. 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 are 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 barza and venture never properly recovered. ah,

only around $170.00 of to one's 3 and a half 1000 strong workforce returned. they now assembled scout us as opposed to goals until eventually the production was likewise, is continued. current operations here have been reduced to making individual components for assembly elsewhere. slowly but surely, the history of b w, invoke russia is trading at the golf and the north tajah surrounding the car, very much alive and boston among b. w aficionados on the road and for sculpture and scientist, daniel climates, he works at the university of fine arts and saw you and has plans to create the monument, celebrating the gulf too. and serving as a reminder of how to ca, provided people with a renewed sense of normality after the ravages of war a after

nope. of on there are 800000 buses on the roads in europe. kickbusch, scrapping them all in the name of c o. 2 neutrality doesn't make sense. okay. 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 pin 26 and 20 who to can from 1000 was almost a retrofit upgrade as environmentally friendly and cheap. 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. the minutes i just out a little the engine used to be where the batteries are now and in boost bonia, and 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 them to put it in our buses. the batteries are underneath the passengers policy, so it's better is if the material beneath them is not explosive, monthly, on the 65th and the engine is now in the tires. it's called a wheel hub motor. it's much smaller, but much more efficient than the older ones. yeah, the entity got me gamma

a mega market is currently being created here will be books. and that's also a big point of criticism that we as germany warrant of the forefront tongue ally, we waited for others to do the work. while we kept developing our 6 cylinder diesel or gasoline engines, that's why we're now stepping up our efforts to catch up and how we can see that this conversion concept will work worldwide. and that's what we're working toward, of good of his engulf, issued retrofitting old masters instead of buying expensive new ones. it's one i did in the fight against climate change. and one that doesn't emily walk the buses . see you next time on read. ah ah ah ah
