. there's probably no greater success story in the automotive world than the toyota corolla. over the course of 50 years, the corolla has established itself as the best selling car of all time, with over 50000000 sold as of 2021. but what is led to its by decades of success? i guys welcome to malaga. today i got invited by toyota to take a closer look at the best selling model all over the world. this is u. s. generation of the toyota corolla. next to me is the 1st generation from 966. and as you can see, quite a lot has changed till then. one reason for the corolla success was the 80 plus points concept. the idea being on a scale of one to 100, the car must obtain a balanced high score in all with performance, succeeding 90 points,
1:32 am
and it worked the practical corolla with a 4 speed gearbox and hence of sporty design, blew out of dealerships. fantastic casa kip with in to 1997, the corolla surpassed the vw beetle has the most sold car of all time. a crown it since retain. fast forward to 2023 and a lot has changed. toyota now celebrates 25 years of hybrid power, with the hybrid system. also in the latest corolla models. the toyota corolla, either powered by a 1.8 liter hybrid system with 140 horse power. now off, like in our case in these boards to with the bigger 2 will lead to a hybrid system with $196.00 aust power. i mean, that's pretty solid numbers and toyota upgraded them and they say, by the way,
1:33 am
we got way more performance in this cost right now. but in the same way they are more efficient and less in consumption. i mean, that's the big plus point. if it's the truth, like its predecessor, the new corolla has a standard cvt transmission that ensures a smooth transition between gears and while switching between the electric and internal combustion power. so the general driving experience in the coral us body to rise very relaxed and comfortable bombs in the road. a well damp and in the interior ads, pleasantly wyatt. and i really like that. thank the promise increase of performance with lower consumption and high efficiency is definitely the noticeable i would say in keeping with its reputation as a reliable and safe car. the new gen corolla, also with a host of assistant systems, even in the entry level model,
1:34 am
including leanest, intersection turn, assist adaptive, cruise control, and more of cause. the corolla is only available as the full hybrid and not as a pure combustion engine, for example. but that means as well, there's no purely electric version as well. and i thought like, why didn't they have the electric version of the cold? toyota told me they are not planning to bring out a fully electric version of the corolla yet because they don't see the need of it. they want to improve their full hybrids as them make it more efficient and more fun to drive for the customer. and i can understand that because they did a great job with the new 2 liter and the new 1.8 liter. and i think of course, not every way in the well, there's electricity where you can charge you a car,
1:35 am
for example, saw a pool hybrid is a good good point. to further increase efficiency, toyota has modified the vehicles control unit and transmission and also installed a more powerful lithium ion battery. on the inside, the corolla sports tour is nice and spacious. with a decent, infotainment system and digital display. the seats are comfortable, can be heated, and also have slick kazoo, racing headrests. so guys, what's my final verdict on the toyota corolla? the newest generation? i have to say i had a lot of fun driving it. i think it's really comfortable. it's you, it's every body for every day drive. so i understand why that the most salad caught in the walt. because you get a lot of ca for your money. you have many safety options which are standard. he had toyota, just got a lot of space in the car. and if you drive every day,
1:36 am
you will see it's also sustainable, which is really, really important as i buy a new car. so i understand why it's the most popular car, the the toyota corolla, touring sports with the large 2 point oh liter engine started around $37000.00 euros in germany. on the plus side, this will get you a solid daily driver with an efficient hybrid system and plenty of performance. on the flip side, there's no all electric version on the horizon. and even the sportier model could do with a little more of toyota's kazoo racing dna. i ah, is this the future of last mile transportation in big cities in estonia, unmanned delivery robot sharing, the bright with passenger vehicles is no longer science fiction. over vision is to have an electric unmanned vehicle that doesn't really produce any c o 2. in
1:37 am
recent years, estonia has become the place where the rubber hits the road for autonomous driving tax. the latest unmanned innovation isn't confined to sidewalks or pre programmed routes. the domain of the clever one delivery vehicle is on the road. estonian start up came up, job was one of the wells fast business customers to receive a parcel from an unmanned tele operator delivery right back last year. now we have received our portal for more additional ways using couriers or bring them up by year advance big trucks. and this is the 1st time that we have used our world. hey, margie itself. and my ability company currently receives up to 10 parcels in 2 to 3 deliveries this way per week. they say reducing emissions as the prime benefit of unmanned electric postal, deliberate receiving parcel with come on one was sorry,
1:38 am
extremely satisfying because saw her pollution rate is really, really low when you're using robertson electric vehicles as we are receiving girl, mainly small parcels in call, modul than now in the future, this is something go that though we will definitely be using cur, only patterns as at school, thomas vehicles can one day reduce loss mile labor costs by 80 to 90 percent. moreover, the evie is tail pipe emission, free 11. 1 is about half the size of a typical delivery van. it only weighs 320 kilograms when empty. in 202011 became the 1st company in europe with a permit to operate unmanned vehicles on public roads. according to clement, the vehicles have since clocks over 40000 kilometers, buyers get to customize the colors lovek holes. so estonia has been the test bed where we have managed your, you know,
1:39 am
show the world that are that on man. because r r a safe delivery. and transportation method, we would like to him or make the last mile deliberate, more efficient by providing the precise tools that are required for inner city rapid last mile delivering the explosion of e commerce as a major reason why urban last mile delivery traffic has been growing significantly in recent years, by 203036 percent more delivery vehicles are forecast to rome, inner city streets globally. yet last mile, delivery is considered one of the least efficient and most polluting processes in a supply chain. congestion and appellation caused by last mile transportation are especially bad and densely populated. urban areas. more than 300 cities in europe. hello, now have low emission zones where fossil fuel vehicles abound or restricted unlike
1:40 am
that human counterparts. very, very couriers might one day operate nonstop. thanks to wireless charging during loading or unloading which cabins as is being tested. and how does the self driving technology walk fast. the operational area is mapped with tele operated vehicles, producing a high precision semantic mat in autonomous married vehicles and uses the map to find the most optimal route class. there are cameras providing a $360.00 degree field of view and the front radar and neural networks to tack to predict the movement of surrounding objects on the basis of which the vehicle can slow down to prevent possible accidents. thanks to fall g. latency is not an issue, kevin says, making self driving mode safe is not the only challenge pioneering unmanned parcel delivery brings about for one. what happens when recipients don't collect their parcels? we need to understand what are the possibilities and how the consumers will la
1:41 am
accept these sir delivers because they are slightly different approach. they need her to come down from nora or apartment building to get the parts of. so i go on too much as well. need to adopt a little bit. there should be one small or monday port within the city area. and from there several multiple vehicles are heading out and delivering in sierra and then we are seeing already very good efficiency. another innovation, both dp, d and da celestine are currently testing as separating the cargo space. se parcels can be delivered to up to 6 individual customers per delivery round, thus increasing efficiency. we are selling the whole unit together with the top publication. ah, which we manufacture in house as well. and that top up thought that top obligation is actually customized to each customer's individual requirements. ah,
1:42 am
because the vehicles might have different purposes. some caffeine ones deliver packages, which means they need a parcel locker on wheels. others deliver food items which requires a grocery specific refrigerator. clever vehicles are limited to 25 kilometers an hour for now. they're still controlled by humans in the back ground. each of these so called tele operators who need a category b drivers license and must 1st complete a 2 week course one they be able to monitor up to 10 vehicles simultaneously. unlike other autonomous vehicle makers, cleverness building autonomous driving systems. on the basis of tele operation, we are saying, but 96 percent, the economy is already enough to do to make a significant marg gunned and the cost reduction and efficiency grease. in the last, my delivery space might be 6 percent, means that we are still using some level of collaboration and human touch ah, to grow to allow their fleet of we goes to be operated on the public gross. oh
1:43 am
thomas. their coal still need to clare major regulatory hurdles on the road to replacing traditional delivery vans so far. only france and germany have authorize some level of autonomous driving. and e u white regulation could speed things up. but currently it's just a legal framework for the approval of automated and fully driverless vehicles. aside from d, p d and d h l express estonia, the hardware and software company has one customer each. in lithuania, belgium and the u. s. clarence has more than 50 other companies are waiting to test the unmanned robo chorus. the manufacturer aims to have a fleet of a 100 vehicles during deliveries by the end of 2024, and a 1000 vehicles by 2025. kevin also plans to build a larger version of its unmanned delivery robot. furthermore, it envisages a driverless back hold on one day transport people can unmanned electric vehicles, fixed the must have problems plaguing last mile. urban de la less and less
1:44 am
vehicles that are driving with petrol are allowed in the city centers so. so we see that having an electric, small efficient, we go to replace gas guzzling trucks are ease where the world, we're just going, our technology can be deployed globally. potentially. we are actually providing the tools to gradually increase the level of an electric efficient trucks on the roads and it's, it's a continuous process. so throughout many, many years. in the meantime, cleverness striving to make some, your toner, mis, transportation, part and parcel of a sustainable future. one delivery at a time. if you want more red, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world rep can make you very happy

vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us. if you tube slash dw rep, and you'll always be up to speed tell about diving into an automated well tree of conventional boundaries, like group as the one with a good sailor. never get seasick because that's a special feeling of just being able to drive off the road and into the water. it's a very special kind of freedom is under the eyes and one that means unadulterated enjoyment of your surroundings. i didn't hear about it because all i hear with an electric amp, a car or the propellers and a little bit of drive train noise. voice is leaking over when that was you get when you drive back out or then you just carry on driving the up. i
1:46 am
have applied to the i a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits. yeah. with i'm because before me the in the car symbolizes a cool, easy going party, feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne meadows would say kind of august. if you can relax and just let yourself go with me. and it does indeed look like a very relaxing, right. that's thanks also, timothy has gone to having converted the amphibious car to electric power.
1:47 am
oh and there's no engine rattle to and none of the stench either you wish and you certainly get a more intense feel for the nature of the into and move on with. the empty car is, as the name suggests, an amphibious vehicle equally at home on land or on the water. it's powered by a 41 horse power gasoline engine. the original model was unveiled to the german public at the 963 international mate, a show in frankfort, uses home and funerals, namely, smith or cooper on both of us. either mid it's most of the empty car was the 1st and to date only mass produced vehicle of its kind. it's may cause a west. germany built around 3800 units between 961 and 68 hands triple the maverick ca constructor design debt had sold for just over 10000 deutsch. marks around $5000.00 heroes in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug. so this is, this is the original sales brochure, mach old school marketing. yet here's some one plunging into
1:48 am
a river. only order in for this, ah, i is this together, the 1960s were a decade of major change. when a new generation was making its presence fell and started, there was also a new kind of music. think of the flower power era in the us really plus the beatles. a beatles come the wolf. i wasn't it said this. oh, there was a new upbeat mood back then. for me, the ant o car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling to assault roses, and there was even a mobile home to go with it up cuts this issue and, and some people went all the way to italy in it. i imagine crossing the brenner pass in this 41 horsepower car. and then having an amphibious mobile home, and when on doesn't you really had to be some kind of romanticism to do something like that is like absorb as the modern mathias santa is
1:49 am
a hotelier in top and tobacco by the mosul river in western germany and is also an avid collector of have because in 2017 he converted his hotels to green palla. that same year, the e cap mobility company was tossed with converting the gasoline pallet empty car into an electric model. there were 2, it was called that oh 1st they took out the engine of wood at which then became a backup for a different car and was fucked. and over here or is the electric handler, carsten when electron because it as well. here we have the battery box, se, but of the custom below them is the electric motor um, which was glanced on to the old transmission im this and it's, it's not like the tesla were to where you set it to drive his law and then just accelerate and break, i'm an oath though or far you do have to shift gears with this car. so no one was here in the thought though. no shut demons. it's too if you drive at a reasonable pace and cruise instead of going in full throttle of to bus,
1:50 am
it will keep going for 8 hours on the water on of, of this and the batteries are really heavy. but so it lies a little lower in the water than the regular at the car, because the motor weighs more than the old engine for here. in order to re balance the weight distribution with the fuel tank now gone, the experts added an extra battery block to shower formula. 70 years later, we have this box which houses the batteries to do, but this is where you access the socket. you model just like with any modern electric car. so going through the stick. those with the electric addition is a bit quicker out of the blocks than it is gasoline. poet alda cousin, but its top speed is a good 20 kilometers per hour. slower, but still cruising along as a 100 clicks in this convertible is fast enough. that is advertised i
1:51 am
misplaced is, audrey and the car is a poor car and a poor boat called me, that's your nose by them. but the 2 combined, it makes it really special. i'd be in on that either from on the road. it does rock about quite a bit. heard ryan, due to the high white wall tires shipped and at the bottom of it, a good sailor. never get seasick on that new. i'd see exactly what the amcom most definitely is. is and have fun fibbed his head glove. if i just love being able to drive straight from the road into the water, if it really is such a random without limits her yard time to make the car see worthy is roha. as with any boat, the life belt has to be stowed within, easy reach at all times. and you also need to install extra like this.
1:52 am
i mean, and it's all just licensed as both the car and as a boat, it's put on boats need a rear navigation line so that other vessels can tell whether you're ahead or behind them at night. they're lighter than or is for him been order in the in been and there's a navigation line at the front to pose. it's owns the headlamp or redundant now of course frozen below some and a proper check also includes the fog horn. that issue of the board super dd. and don't forget those rubber seals either from the set of yeah, i book notes why it has just these 2 rubber strips that you pressed together using this lever just isn't. and that you guarantees are 100 percent water, tight nuggets with didn't when this guarantee and the doors good. this did the water line, nissan to about here is he and bustling the fear? ah,
1:53 am
that matches and the am fi car is now see was a so it gets dudgin. vasa, it's like we hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition pillow. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when my gun and i and, and we're off. it's those mid level now drive into the water and just touch on the get. the propellers are already turned on fixing god, when it was built in his ideas were afloat. it's been well now just disengaged. the gears so that the wheels are stopped turning it on. this mimic thing is, is clyde the board? so so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and go the steering asked via the front wheel. just thought of it and that's why the white will tires are a bit higher than my or the wheels are the easier it makes the thing to steer. still, young people have always dreamed of overcoming the boundaries between the elements
1:54 am
and the car. production ceased in the 1960 s because the complex construction was too expensive and sales never got off the grounds that ganja is confident. the electric edition put, give amphibious cause a new lease of life that covered itself. you know, you have more options these days. life, you can definitely make it lighter so that it needs less electricity and can go faster to i'm can all are on the sell, renew my didn't mooted a. and what someone had the guts to develop it and put it on the market at an affordable price. we'd like to bring. and then i reckon it could be really successful, the up hooked eyesight and even the end of a bi trip in the m f. e. car has its own special cells. so it's legged in there now. i'll engage 1st gear over there and really turn up the gas. i did buy now up and out by the ramp bud. well, it's, it'll get a bit bumpy. now the rear wheels engaged that i had of it and i'm back on god's
