lee alady will he uncovers a story for human kind, or will this mystery remain a secret forever to do in 60 minutes on d, w. and i just got a thought they were great in the world's best selling car of all time tested be autonomous feature of the last mile transportation analyzed. and the secret of an e car built for both the land and water uncovered right now on ran

there's probably no greater success story in the automotive world than a 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 the newest 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 $1.00 to $100.00. the car must attain

a balanced high score in all areas with performance exceeding 90 points. it worked the practical corolla with a 4 speed gear box and hence of sporty design, blew out of dealerships. fantastic casa, careful with. and to 997, the corolla surpassed the vw beetle as the most sold car of all time. a crown it since retain. fast forward to 2023 and a lot is changed. toyota now celebrates 25 years of hybrid power, with a 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, we got way more performance in this cars 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 boards 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 promised 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 or the new gen corolla also comes with

a host of assistance systems. even in the entry level model, including latest intersection turn, assist adaptive cruise control and more of cause, the corolla is only available at the pool hybrid and not as a pure combustion engine by 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. is that 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. for example, a 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 the 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 the most salad caught in the walt because you get a lot of cars for your money. you have many safety options which are standard here . so you would get got a lot of the car and if you drive every day you will see it's also sustainable,

which is really, really important as i buy a new car. so. busy i understand why it's the most popular car, the toyota corolla, touring sports with the large 2 point. oh liter engine starts at 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 with ah, is this the future of last mile transportation and big cities in estonia and man delivery robot sharing, the bright with passenger vehicles is no longer science fiction. or vision is to have an electric unmanned vehicle that doesn't really produce any c o 2. in

recent years, estonia has become the place where the rubber hits the road for autonomous driving tack. the latest unmanned innovation isn't confined to sidewalks or pre programmed troops. the domain of the clever one delivery vehicle is on the road. estonian start up here, module was one of the world's 1st business customers to receive a parcel from an unmanned tele operate at delivery right back last year. now we have received alcorto for more additional ways through it, and couriers who bring them up by advance big trucks. and this is the 1st time that we have used our world. hey, margie itself. and liability company currently receives up to 10 parcels in $2.00 to $3.00 deliveries this way per week. they say reducing emissions is the prime benefit an unmanned electric coastal delivery. the receiving parcel with claim on

one was sa, extremely satisfying. because her, her pollution rate is really, really low when we're using robertson electric vehicles as we are receiving girl, mainly small part, something called marginal been now in the future. this is something that though we will definitely be using cur, only patterns as at school. thomas vehicles can one day reduce las 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 the 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 levels. so estonia has been the test bed where we have managed to, you know,

show the world that are that unmanned vehicles are, are 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 delivery. the explosion of e commerce is 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. well,

i like that human counterparts very bakery as 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 marked with tele operated vehicles, producing a high precision semantic map in autonomous, married the 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 attack to predict the movement of surrounding objects on the basis of which the vehicle can slow down to prevent possible accidents. thanks to 4 g. latency is not an issue cabin says making self driving might 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 her accept the sir delivers, because they are a slightly different approach. they need her to come down from nora apartment building to get the parts of so i got on humans as well. need to adopt a little bit. that should be one small wonder boy within the city area. and from there several multiple vehicle totter heading out and delivering in sierra and then we are seeing already very good efficiency. good. another innovation, both d p d and d h l. estonia, currently testing a 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 took that top application is actually customized to e. each customer's individual requirements are because the week goes might have

different purposes. some kevin ones deliver packages, which means they need a parcel locker on wheels. others deliver food items which requires a grocery specific refrigerator. kevin vehicles are limited to 25 kilometers an hour for now. they're still controlled by humans in the background. each of these so called tele operators. if you need a category, be driver's license and must 1st complete a 2 week course or one day be able to monitor up to 10 vehicles simultaneously. unlike other autonomous vehicle makers to cleverness building autonomous driving systems. on the basis of tele operation, we are saying, but 96 percent the economy is already enough to to, 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 till operation and human touch are

to grow to allow their fleet of we goes to be operated on the public gross. oh thomas. their call still need to clear major regulatory hurdles on the road to replacing traditional delivery vans so far. only france and germany have authorized some level of autonomous driving. an e u wide 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 us. kevin says more than 50 other companies are waiting to test the unmanned robo koreas. 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 vehicle that can one day transport people can unmanned electric vehicles, fix the math of problems plaguing la smile evans delivery less and less.

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 eas, word of oregon. we're just going, our technology can be deployed globally, potentially. we are actually providing a tool to gradually increase the level of 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 thomas transportation, part and parcel of a sustainable future. one delivery at a time. if you want more read, 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.

us you get when you drive back out, we can then you just carry on driving up. i looked like a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits with because before me the emperor car symbolizes a cool, easy going party. feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne meadows with sick kind of business. you can relax and just let yourself go and it does indeed look like a very relaxing, right? that's thankful. so to mathias gone to having converted the amphibious car to electric power own,

there's no engine rattle and none of the stench either gibberish and you certainly get a more intense feel for the nature of the intensive omit. 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 fuels, namely, smith or to in on both of us element. it's most of the m, f, e. com is 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 car constructor designed it had sold for just over 10000 deutsche max around. $5000.00 euros in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug. this is, this is the origin sales brochure and i'm with old school marketing yet. here's

someone plunging into a river, only order in inflows. ah, is this together? the 19th sixty's were a decade of major change when a new generation was making its presence felon started. there was also a new kind of music. think of the flower power era in the u. s. i mean, plus the beatles, a beatles come the war. oh, a sudden it said this, oh, there was a new upbeat mood back then. for me, the ant a car symbolizes a cool, easy going party feeling to assault roses. and there was even a mobile home to go with it. got caught this issue and, and some people went all the way to italy in it. i'm with imagine crossing the brenner pass in this 41 horsepower car and then having an amphibious mobile home. and then on denizens, you really had to be some kind of romanticism to do something like that inside of

zillow as the modern mathias santa is a hotelier in tarpon tabula by the mosul river in western germany. and is also an avid collector. and because in 2017 he converted his hotels to green palla. that same year, the e cap mobility company was tasked with converting the gasoline pallet and the car into an electric model. there were 2, it was called that oh 1st they took out the engine of wooded which then became a back up for a different car and i was fucked. and over here or is the electric handler, carsten when electron to close it as well. here we have the battery box, se, but as he kissed below them as the electric motor, which was glanced on to the old trails measure in 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 meant of that were far. you do have to shift gears with this car. so no one was here in the thought. don't shut demons, it's too if you drive at a reasonable pace and cruise instead of going at full throttle to bus,

it will keep going for 8 hours on the water. on top of that was 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 1st. almost 70 years later we have this box which houses the batteries to do, but this is where you access the socket. you more than just like with any modern electric car. so going for the stick. those with the electric addition is a bit quicker out of the blocks than it's gasoline powered. oh, the cousin, but it's top speed is a good 20 kilometers per hour. slower. but still cruising along as a 100 clicks in this convertible is fast enough. it is advertised

slate is adrienne, the car is a poor car and a poor boat company that soon i was to buy them. but the 2 combined makes it really special that was on that either upon the road it does rock about quite a bit heard right. due to the high white wall tires shipped and that's a good sailor. never get seasick. everybody knew, i'd say good. what the amcom most definitely is, is a lot of fun. i mean, i just love being able to drive straight from the road into the wall. it really is such a great him without limits. yard time to make the car see worthy is roha. as with any boat, the life belt has to be stowed within, easy reach,

hit old times. and you also need to install extra like this. i mean, and it's 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. the allies done or is for him been order in the in been and there's a navigation line at the front to put its own the headlamp or redundant now of course frozen below some and a proper check also includes the fog horn, the dish, oak, the board super easy and don't forget those rubber seals either. one is that a good book notes? why it has just these 2 rubber strips that you pressed together using this lever to susan, and that you guarantees your 100 percent watertight nuggets with didn't. when this guarantee and the doors dish dish cut, the water line nissan to about here see a bus home with here. ah,

that matches. and the am fi car is now see was a so it gets duncan's vasa, it's like we hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition po pillow. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when i gun and i and, and we're off. it's those mit the val now drive into the water and just touch on the get. the propellers are already turned on. it's in god we'll give will built in his ideas were afloat yet spent all now just disengaged. the gears so that the wheels are stopped turning it on his rim. it then ah, uses clyde the board so so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and oh, the steering asked via the front wheel just front of it and that's why the white well tires are a bit higher. the higher the wheels are, the easier it makes, the thing to steer. still, young people have always dreamed of overcoming the boundaries between the elements

and the comp. production ceased in the 1960 s, because the complex construction was too expensive and sales never got off the ground. that ganja is confident the electric edition could give amphibious cause a new lease of life that cover to sell it. you have more options these days. life, you can definitely make it lighter so that it needs less electricity and can go faster. chatham cotton all are on the cell going humans didn't mutator and was someone had the guts to develop it and put it on the market at an affordable price in maximum wigan. then i reckon it could be really successful. the other guy side, and even the end of a bite trip in the am fi car has its own special cells. so it's negative and now i'll engage 1st here a bit and really turn up the gas i did by now up and out by the ramp. bad. well it's, it'll get a bit bumpy. now the rear wheels and gauge that it had on fact on god's earth as it

were of goodness, it is. so and the buzz you get when you drive back out i was far when it starts to shake and vibrate up by the white. and then you just carry on driving that it's just magic. but she has gone to regularly traits his hotel guests, tim excursions in his hands because they certainly lend a whole new perspective to trips along the romantic mozilla river. the unique river trips and our highlights on his guests itinerary. ah madam lex what makes the electric. i'm the car so special is that it's a lot quieter than the gasoline version. you can take in a lot more of this surrounding. this is how it's not especially nice in the evening

when the sun's going dining. you're traveling across the water damage and give us a shout. you can relax and just let yourself go for one tough on so dizzy development. ah, the electric and free car adds a new dimension to martin mobility and is indisputably one of the coolest ways of getting from a to b. and stay tuned for more unconventional modes of transports. on the next episode of reb mm ah. with
