climb to the top. oh, be the coolest opera star in the world. you romance? oh, he minutes on d w. ah, we got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner check. hot spot for food. check and some great cultural memorials to boot d w, travel off we go full electric power at the y d o. russell acceleration with the gulf tave and complete freedom flying that solar power that and more now on red

with this is the b y, d at o 3 a chinese purely electric car that does a lot of things differently. but does that make it a better car? we'll find out today. why come to ref? mm hm. oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, b y d short for build your dreams is one of the largest new energy vehicle makers in the world. ah, the at o 3 has our really cool feature that is that you can change the direction of that central touch display. so if you don't like it, like that is simply press that button and it will flip by 90 degrees and then it

turns the picture just like a tablet that you would use home. and i mean, have you seen any other cow that works? i haven't. and i've seen a lot of car ah, for dinner, a driving impression in the b y d at o 3 ease, pretty smooth. you. busy feel some bumps, but it's nothing that you would consider a disturbing fact. so it's quite a nice ride. the after 3 has a powerful 1. $150.00 kilowatt output makes the dash from 0 to 107.3 seconds and can reach at top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. the exterior of the atto 3 has a fresh, sporty design without being to future istic. with a length of 4.45 meters, it slots in somewhere between

b w's id 3 and id for the interior of the b y d at o 3. at 1st glance a looks quite cool. pretty futuristic. the steering wheel fee, it's nice. it has some buttons from the most important functions as you're used to in most other cars will take some getting used to though is the door opener because it's right here and you have to pull it back like this to open the door. if you don't know it, you will spend a lot of time looking for it because it's nowhere down here. apart from that, you have these vans right here. those look quite futuristic as well. they are a little loud if you close them, but you will not off the uses, so it's ok down here you have some buttons for most important functions, for example, for parking assistance or the all to hold function. but the highlight in the interior is definitely that huge touch screen right here that will give you

navigation and of course, music's bonafide da b plus radio. everything you need. the only thing i really like is the fact that you have to adjust the temperature of via the touch screen as well. ah, one annoying thing on our test drive was that the lane assistant, which warns if you're about to leave your lane is a little too motivated. which means it sometimes warns you a little too early and narrow roads. ah, the thing that makes me you id car, so special are the batteries instead of lithium ion battery said i use in most other electric vehicles nowadays they use a lithium iron phosphate batteries. and those are the only ones right now that can pause in the nail tests where there is a nail driven through the battery. this is done in the nail penetration lab of the b y d subsidiary vin dreams, which is responsible for battery production. the so called blade battery pack

certainly deserves its name thanks to its long plant shape, than to say a nail penetration test, simulate short circuits in batteries under extreme conditions. as our nail. pierce's battery for the purpose of analyzing his performance in a situation in the industry, the test is most stringent battery safety tests and caught up with the man in charge. his dr. chow lee. he prepares both the blade battery and an n. c. m. lithium battery pack for the test. as soon as the nail is driven through the n c m, batteries, outer shell, the battery starts to inflate and smoke and then it explodes and burns at temperatures above 500 degrees celsius. in contrast, the blade battery emits neither flames nor smoke and its surface temperature does not exceed 60 degrees celsius. this implies that e, b 's, equipped with the blade battery would be far less susceptible to catching fire even when severely damaged. another test sees

a $46.00 ton fully loaded, heavy duty truck roll over the plate battery packing. surprisingly the battery survives the test without leakage, deformation or smoke. in the final step of the test, the plate battery is reassembled and loaded into a b y. d han, e b, and the vehicle still functions, but the blade batteries have even more advantages. so again, 1st of all, higher volumetric energy density, e p. thanks to structural innovation, your blade battery boasts arrays with a high level of integration entry or structural elements. this increases space utilization from 40 percent, in the case of conventional battery packs, to 60 percent, or even up to 75.6 percent raising volumetric energy density of 310 watt hours per liter. a main advantage of the blade batteries is that, unlike regular lithium ion batteries, they do not require cobol, which is already a rare raw material. for the battery capacity of the at opening is are all and

60.5 kilowatt hours. and that will give you all 120 kilometers of her age. those are on the same amount that you have in all the cars. in that segment b, y, d invested around 1400000000 euros in the fin dreams battery factory and cha, ching, it. now produces an annual 20 gigawatt hours equivalent to around 200000 battery packs. there are rumors that the blade battery packs will power, other carmakers vehicles as well. one advantage is weight. according to b, y d, the battery sales account for 80 to 90 percent of the total weight of a blade battery pack. while in a conventional and c, a battery pack, it's only around 60 percent base current goes in at somewhere on $38000.00 euros in germany. and you will almost not find any ela car in that

segment for that price. and especially with all the features you get in this car during the euro and c a p crash test, the ada 3 received the full 5 out of 5 rating and 91 out of 100 points were passenger safety. as of now the at o 3 is based on 400 volts technology, like most of the other electric cars out there. but the platform that it's built on also supports $800.00 volt technology. and if this car becomes a success and the numbers allow it, they would also think about moving it in an 800 volt version. and that would then mean the car can be charged faster than it can be. now the display here is really small. it only has the most important information, so it's really minimalistic. and i think i like that

the at o 3 has a power output of $150.00 kilowatts and it can go up to 160 kilometers an hour. that is not exactly past, but considering that you want to save energy, it's absolutely okay. and also considering at least where i live in the area in germany, you won't find a lot of space where you can go any faster than 130 kilometers an hour because either there is some traffic jam all down some road works. anything could be there, so $160.00 is more than enough with all and all the ada 3 is a nicely designed car that offers a lot of driving pleasure and some well thought out ideas such as the rotating touch display. the built in guitar in the door and of course the safe battery packs . on the down side, the door handle is counter intuitive. the climate control is touch base and the

lane assist is a little too enthusiastic. ah . with this is that the fastest golf in bosnia and this is its driver from bush. i've been on outdoor with for know of argument that the school twice when felt funny social. no. i've not met of inch from to this last monday. perfect. i live in golf. yes. be soon. then i'll do my best. it's my new we add that whips his car to ever fast track times. this beefy golf mark to is nick

named v r. it's just recovered from an engine failure and the team has set up an important test strategy. yahoo, what's a shot? more thought dice. what signs are going to ruin this ring? vod department resorted more dog w to suit so, so that we'll talk about the show for the site, the least, the see it all it, all he stuff. see that the soviets, others, behold, will be the field hutton zone. the problem was all this all is called points avoid the shot, the short distance of fear. me did a lot of the you bought. so i thought why boggy bend. yeah, that's why bargain doesn't special about $900.00 piss. it's that higher boost pressure that enables such monster power. the team wants to get the car back into record breaking shape. that means programmer is meals, skills are crucial. importance now.

checking is every single kid chicken bottom at the nissan table. a ceiling. is it like last time? if it's okay we can drive with before the final test we visit ob, none into sla this is where the car mechanic lives out. his d. w. passion. libra is perfecto, living in gulf? yes. pursuit. then other nun lived in germany in the ninety's during the bosnian war in 2009, he opened an auto repair shop. time for one last check before the test drive. the engine has been re mounted longitudinally after the water damage with a radiator placed outside the grill. for space reasons, i'm on foreign bond is no student valued in o korea. eyeball hot and reading. marla goes the more other in the heart of our yet

. so we hear these links are involved, i'm, i'm, you wrote on football the, you got the wrong law. alice holds, share by that the kind of hosted on godaddy was the allison give out where the leg was still available to complete, corporate go for the spots of or the one to vote. i was raised this to be a form this feeling for growth give leave. there is just one problem still with a fuel house. but of course that's no big deal for these tuning pros. ice and snow will just from the irish, which will be soon immortal. eviction is good. and then has invested around $20000.00 euros in the gulf so far. pushing the car from 75 to over 800 horse power . that's it's yeah, that's it. that is meant by via boston. molly, molly said about to walk you how it is for me or up gotta give us will be or i'm the alice. this will be about. i was on the 3rd before. do you want to get cold? did he not as soon as i bought some for being up the storage post office

with non specialty is the quarter mile sprint. i will get you reams of on the wife just knows that of these walking with benoit. right. the slides you supposed to take the most in got this down much upon the legal tool. i don't believe you're going to try to fall. that's why it will be the best to say this week is really the most recent initial for me with and special used parts are of course not thrown away, but the treasury with the still broke the annoying swagger for on the go condition . he's with her. ah, for arden,

i'm and many other policy in a v w is the go to car. adam has a long relationship with german cars. my yes, out of there. go to the scene without going to try. right. as i was my last and $100.00 out of miti this fall, we believe i had the money i believe plow vargo just thought so wonderfully to get us this being all we are for him. i'm here for the quote, the one 0 here about in call for the does this week off and i should call them and when the for the fear, my god, i thought that was issued by the fear. my new phone call from this ring is such a while as give me between for me it's time to head for the test track, an old air field, the testing kept up with the sizes. so i thought i've been asked to go

over some, i guess the she was going to tell her to look at that they came out and she, mr. scott: it's on the fed as fish, or any one of these are some of whom are these who went off the bus was, it was the, the thing is to be stuff out. all the give out. mm hm. all is set for the dress rehearsal. them in 2 seconds, i'm flying from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and just keeps on going in

with a little bit of your so i'm still here with the successful test drive bodes well for even more new records for our non and his golf to from policy i'm with

with my body shop to texas. so here with high yeah, now it was on you got it. so do you like to me more than one was funny and then when we did it and then suddenly as you might look on the fun t shaken one thing for tunes. and if my dad got the didn't what did i need? yeah, not got what he thought. none,

the less you were not the ration that you found done. she funding in relation to the relation of the i was a physical on the she will not be happy with that is my new line now which is in the, in the one all 3. it

don't show me. i've got the one in the him in what struck him is in like you right? you get when you get along me you come and give him some i my friends are left for the last time you got the letter from you saying that you have

a union hold on one. i just wanna know what you love. one of the ones that are in use of you what you were up is when you come in and see what the weather bug. yeah. you do. you didn't like she said yes. she knew

she was working with the me a it's my dream to travel as far as i want without polluting our planet. and i feel like we're on our way there. it's wonderful human shonda teeth was a ne, has been in the air for 5 hours and he's covered 220 kilometers

long. i've been up to us. a lay is on the 15th leg of his air, born to it. if hans, his landing and go yay, in the south of the country, the tourist intended to promote his project wings for the planet with what? what a flight rochard rode. the adventurer and engineer quit his job to focus exclusively on his solar powered glider wherever he goes. his invention draws curious under his who want to know how it works with my glider, takes off on its own with his propeller. it may seem small, but it's a meter across in diameter. it's powered by batteries, and they're charged by the solar cells on the wings normally. but this is laura or charlotte policy does. of course we do. it was the lay spend for 3 years working on the glider and put all his savings into the prototype. and chris,

when they come from feeling i'm impressed. since it's very smooth, he completely integrated the solar cells into the weirdness wall number. when you some children yelling, i'm an engineer and pilot and i have an idea how much work went into this. it's fantastic and it makes you dream familiar. some feel of a dream of climate friendly flight without emitting a single gram of c o. 2 was ordered though, it's already happening so, so you can fly up lot law on because his preparing for the next leg of the tour, the glow for what its role is swearing either i'll fly to more police to peek. so lu, we're overflow hoggard, bus, pro, flock. the engineer loves nature and technology. he used to work, designing underwater robots once near the south pole. he watched a young albatross in flight with welcome 1st clever little with with albatrosses in flight. are fabulous. some of the news they inspired me is i said i wanted to fly like them one day i'm going to come. so it's a 2nd. this year wasn't a,

is touring france by air more than 2000 kilometers. it's how he imagines the future of travel. now 7000 feet above mall saw me show many in the aeronautics industry think he's nuts. it was, it is convinced. even jumbo jets will one day fly powered by the sun alone emission free z if girl boy, of course it's hard to imagine a boeing or air bus with solar cells to video. but modern photovoltaic cells will harness just 20 percent of the energy in 10 to 20 years ago. it might be 40 or 60 percent on if you just the but that go planes might be traveling just 400 kilometers an hour instead of $800.00. but that's enough for domestic flight. my not measure cynthia, this was a fail during takeoff inquire, yea, it was a lay demonstrates his invention. conventional glide is need a winch or

a motorized plane to start and a loss of entity. but you often, it makes it happen to be on his own. i would my toe to false is almost over for the aviation pioneers, already planning his tour of europe to get even more people on board with the dream of flying with the power of the sun. so alagood flight and see you next time on rev ah, with ah,

a with you and offer here someone. ready may change your mind. jacobo karlinski, counter turner can break dancer climb to the
