this award winning offer is available worldwide in germany has never been simpler german to go inside bangladesh as elite force rob. for the 1st time, 2 former commanders, a investigative documentary, they describe human rights violations. the government has always denied brought to you on o. d, w, capital the world's best selling car of all time tested the autonomous feature of the last mile transportation analyzed. and the secrets of an e car belt for both land and water uncovered right now on ran with
9:31 am
. 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 has 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 us 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 areas. with per foreman succeeding 90 points,
9:32 am
it worked the practical corolla with a 4 speed gear box and hence of sporty design, blew out of dealerships. fantastic casa kit with. and in 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 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 to 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,
9:33 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 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 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 comes with a host of and systems even in the entry level model, including lane assist,
9:34 am
intersection turn, assist adaptive, cruise control, and more of cause. the corolla is only available as a 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. is 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, for example, saw a pool hybrid is
9:35 am
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 here. do you with got a lot of space in the car? and if you drive every day, you will see it's also sustainable, which is really,
9:36 am
really important as i buy a new car. so 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 is 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 and man delivery robot sharing the bright with passenger vehicles is no longer science fiction. oh, vision is to have an electric unmanned vehicle that doesn't really produce any c o
9:37 am
2. in 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 preprogrammed roots. the domain of the clever one delivery vehicle is on the road. estonian stout up her 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 our bottles for more additional ways using carriers room bring them up by year advance big trucks. and this is the 1st time that we have used our old kamal g itself and mobility 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 of unmanned electric castile delivering the receiving parcel with on
9:38 am
one was sorry, extreme satisfying because her her pollution rate is really, really low. when you're using robertson electric vehicles, as we are receiving girl, mainly small parcels in call margin been 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 of the vehicles. so estonia has been the test bed where we have managed to, you know,
9:39 am
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 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
9:40 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
9:41 am
accept the sir delivers because they are slightly different approach. they need her to come down from nora or apartment building to get the parts. and 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 d, p, 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. or because the
9:42 am
vehicles 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 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'd 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, to allow their fleet of we goes to be operated on the public gross. oh thomas. their
9:43 am
call still need to clear 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 awaiting 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, at envisages a driverless back hold on one day transport people can unmanned electric vehicles, fixed the must have problems plaguing last mile. urban delivery. less and less.
9:44 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 eas, word early. 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 toner, mis, transportation, part and parcel of a sustainable peak chan, one delivery at a time. if you want more ref, 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
9:45 am
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. how about diving into an automated well tree of conventional boundaries like group as the one that knew i had 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. your voice is leaking over when that was you get when you drive back out, look and then you just carry. i'm driving the up. i have
9:46 am
a flight. ah, a dream come true out the car. it really is such a freedom without limits. yeah. with i'm because before me the amp, a car symbolizes a cool, easy going party, feeling on the water with the girls and the champagne that made it kind of august. if you can relax and just let yourself go, mean nothing. 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.
9:47 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 intent to move on. 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 minute, it's masa the m f. e. com is the 1st and to date only mass produced vehicle of its kind it's make has a west germany built around 3800 units between 961 and 68 hands triple. the maverick car constructor designed debt had sold for just over 10000 deutsch marks around 5000 heroes in today's money, making it twice the price of a vw bug. so this is, this is the original sales brochure, mac old school marketing. yet we're hear someone plunging into
9:48 am
a river or lay order in las 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 war. me? oh, i wasn't it said this. oh, there was a new upbeat mood back then. for me, the anto 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 horse power 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 . it was like that was of us, the modern mathias santa is
9:49 am
a hotelier in top and tobacco by the mosul river in western germany and is also an avid collector of africans. 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 muddle. there were 2 or was goblet. oh, 1st they took out the engine of wood which then became a backup for a different car and, and was fucked. and over here or is the electric handler, carsten when electron, because it either here we have the battery box se, but as he kistin below them is the electric motor on which was blanched on to the old trail. misha, 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'm an oath though afar. you do have to shift gears with this car. so no one was here in the thought. don't know, demons, it's to, if you drive at a reasonable pace and cruise instead of going at full throttle of to bus, it will keep going for 8 hours on the water on of,
9:50 am
of that was of this in the batteries are really heavy. but so it lies a little lower in the water than the regular out 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 more than just like with any modern electric car. so going for the stick. those with the electric addition is a bit quicker after the blocks than it is gasoline powered old, a cousin, but is 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 i misplaced is, audrey and the car is a poor car, and
9:51 am
a poor boat called me not soonest by the but the 2 combined. it makes it really special. it is on that i that 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 on that new. i'd see what the amcom most definitely is. is a loss, have fun with if i just love being able to drive strength from the road into the wall. it really is such a freedom 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 at all times. and you also need to install extra like
9:52 am
this. i mean, and it's just licensed as both the car and as a boat export 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. so and a proper check also includes the fog horn, the dish of the board. super easy. and don't forget those rubber sealed sy them but is that a good book notes? why it has just these 2 rubber strips that you pressed together using this lever, christine, and that guarantees are 100 percent watertight nuggets with didn't when this guarantee and the doors good. this did the water line, the song to about here, cn bus home with here, ah,
9:53 am
that matches and the am fi car is now see was a so it gets dozens, vasa, i thought we'd hit the water and i need to turn on the ignition popella. i get the 2 propellers going and then get into gear when my gun of i and, and we're off. it's those mit the val now drive into the water and just touch on the gas. the propellers are already turned on. it's in gods. when people bellas in his ideas were afloat. it's been all now just disengaged. the gears so that the wheels are stopped turning that aid on this mimic thing uses clyde the board so. so i don't need a rudder with this little boat and all the steering as via the front wheel just front 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
9:54 am
and the comp. 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 coveted. so hard to 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 ice side and even the end of a bite 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. bad. well, it's, it'll get a face bumpy. now the rear wheels engaged out of it and i'm back on god's earth as
9:55 am
it were of goodness, it is. so and the buzz you get when you drive back out. i was thought 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 to excursions in his hands because they certainly lend a whole new perspective to trips along the romantic mozilla river. ah, the unique river trips and our highlights on his guests itinerary meeting is what makes the electric i'm the car is so special is that it's a lot quieter than the gasoline version. you can take in a lot more of this surrounding most of the time. it's not especially nice in the evening when the sun's going die and in you're traveling across the water down on
9:56 am
your vasa, yet you can relax and just let yourself go for one tough on so dizzy bowman. 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. right here on kickoff. ah, with
