ah, she survived. oh schmidt's thanks to music and he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival at home. i don't get the tennis. i was the only one . what night and look. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. with coming up on red giant, the world's biggest producer of e cars, now aims to conquer europe. the mercedes e q. s s u v. a luxury electric off roader. and a labor of love and gonna as a workshop breathes new life into classic cars with

with its electric car set to power heading to the european market. does the future of e mobility belong to china? they have their products ready and they have a plan to conquer the european market. wire brands like mio and their innovative marketing strategies. years ahead of european automakers from let's the funds they've been putting in a lot of work over the last 2 decades to build up this industry. lucas was outbound . how did bide manage to overtake previous market liter, tesla, and become the biggest e car maker on the planet? they control the own way to change the electric car. oh,

it's a very romantic situation for the european golf manufacturers to germany and europe even stand a chance of catching up with a competition from china or have they been left in the dust for good. so that is really a change of to types here. in 2022, the chinese auto industry launched an unprecedented offensive on the european market with over a dozen new vehicles covering all model categories. and the timing is hardly a coincidence. at the moment, we have a very special situation for the european car market. the prices for cars have gone up net the same time, we need to achieve green and, and electrified mobility. and here is, i believe, for a very good does. some may call it a golden opportunity for new entrance in the game,

mainly coming from china. e cars have recently become increasingly expensive in europe. among the reasons is domestic car makers model strategies. although russia's invasion of ukraine has also been a factor in the dramatic rise in energy cost for production in europe means that raw materials previously imported at low price from russia need to be acquired elsewhere. and for a lot of money transport and environment is an n g o that conducts regular studies on cleaner transportation. it discovered that the proportion of new e cars on the roads of europe dropped to 11 percent in 2022. while in china, it increased to 18 percent here to chinese, outstripping europe. so what are the reasons for this development? some i'm not traditionally far 1st, of course there are the current by chain problems,

although that's more short term and wanted. a lot of mistakes had been made in the past. the car lobby had been hoping that new combustion engine models would not after all be banned in 2035. and there was a lot of dithering. m one actually died of fuel efficient and now things really need speeding up on yet securing raw materials, speeding up supply chain sellers and ramping up battery production. and in the long term, looking at recycling facilities too. so that's a lot of factors to accommodate and will perform and for both of them get up. and when it comes to expanding its electron mobility industry, china has evidently done a number of things better than countries in europe, including germany. the chinese government has nearly a decade. the go recognised a debt there the new game. it's not the combustion engine. the more the new game is electrified mobility, and they have set industry politic us a frameworks and also financial aids in order to motivate the local industry to

develop by compelling offer. and now after many years of development, these are the products and the efforts i ripe. and with an eye on maximizing self sufficiency, china introduced a rush of state subsidies covering r and d for all e mobility components. offering buyer incentives, speeding up the certification process compared to non electric models. and last but not least, double the number of charging stations and the rest of the world combined with some of them in beijing for example, accessible to dryers at 0 cost. having a steady supply of required rama euros made before batteries may be for electric motors, or you name it as inc. this is a, this is a key, a key task for the government. they control the old radio chain of the electric car, including also were at the batteries, especially in the field of battery to small achieved cerebral breakthroughs and

advancement. asked deed made by the chinese industry. in addition to setting new standards with its innovative, lithium iron phosphate batteries bide also makes electric motors and chips all under the same roof. the world's biggest e car manufacture has a wide range of models. european drivers can choose from the hon luxury sedan, the tongue as u. v. and a small compact called pato 3, and they cost up to a 3rd less than their respective european rivals. ah, they are bro fitting from a low energy prices because say using a high share of coal finance. yeah, china has secured access to a lot of resources in africa to through direct foreign investments. it has totally

different supply chains than we do of yeah. they also have more profitable working conditions with the environment and workers paying a lot of the price wedge and after i buy that's my some cars are cheaper than in europe too much. been some goofy, doesn't jive balance or will pass. but while there is much to be critical of in terms of long term commitment to china's e mobility strategy is miles ahead of the west of yet sean active. and they already want 80 percent of public fleet slide taxis and government vehicles and key regions to be 0 emissions vehicles. why the kind of set up we're not even close to in europe. we're not truly so. yeah. which title and for pounds, and i will panel handcuff commercial customers and company cars or the entry market for new electric cars who annoyed act was out and on that front door 6th recently said that it was buying 100000 e cars from china's byte talent e, out of something new, she has to law by 6 is a german based to national rental company. and in future, any one reserving,

one of their e cars will have a 5050 chance of being handed, the keys to a slick looking bide like the hon. can fight when they're 2 reasons. first, the availability of cars and the foreseeable future of our and the fact that chinese models are certainly comparable to high and european models. we're twine our patient premium one day. when it comes to e mobility, the chinese are slowly but surely getting europe's traditional automakers hot under the collar. the german excellence internal combustion engines was undisputed but now was electric mobility out there that the cards got shuffled again. it's a very broad romantic situation from the european car manufacturers because the quality of the chinese sir electric cars is much better than it bore sir. yeah, 2007 or 2008. when they at 1st started to,

to get into the european market and failed. meanwhile, neo has launched its e t 7 executive sedan in europe. it comes with a unique service program that enables drivers to swap empty batteries for full once in a matter of minutes. there'll be neo houses opening across europe. upscale show rooms ended elevating the ownership experience and the neo mile range will soon see the addition of sub brands for compact models. there is a strategy behind it, like he was to introduce a flagship, a halo model, right? which demonstrate that technology, which ha, ha, ha, ha, hi, price point and, and the house, the margin right to start business. and then go into the mass market. a. china doesn't just have the executive segment in it. sites from the sporty by atto 3 to the multi purpose by d one ah, and the, or are one many,

there are cars for every budget and with a series of smaller models about to hit europe at the lower cost segments. we see that the um yeah, there's no broad act offer from my our folks wagon aura, ya other. oh yeah, you go p in all west and a common use actress m, but the chinese deliver the chinese government funded um a specially a small cost many schooling. hong kong, for example, is the top selling e car in china, shifting well over a quarter of a 1000000 units in 2021. and that's in large part thanks to its low price. there. the equivalent of $3700.00 euro's not surprisingly, it is likewise headed for europe and is already on sale. in lithuania,

the affordability of electric mobility. these is one of the key factors to mask the transition towards carbon neutral mobility by rational in germany, the government wants to see 15000000 e vehicles on the roads by 2030. and it's now looking at which political steps would help consolidate that and introduce even more e. carson be at central and at the european manufacturers are unable to keep up. and then of course, customers are going to turn to chinese car maker. saki and continental fountain is mashed along. china is firmly in the fast lane and has already left the floundering european car industry in its wake. the chinese oems, they have started exactly how the rubin ca market works and how to successfully enter the car. mark. my bet would to be that the china are successful in getting a market share in european discourse coming. yes. as the pays hots up,

we'll european bill cars be able to catch up. is china's e car offensive a cause for alarm or catalyst? because the future of automotive production will likely be decided sooner rather than later in oregon to denver, colorado. right? next to me is the probably most luxurious electric s u b out there. right now the new mercedes benz e q s s u v. if that's true, we want to find out today, but 1st we'll head out of the city right into the mountains. oh, and we're going to change the color little bit. as expected,

the flagship electric su, v of the brand comes with all the bells and whistles such as over the air updates for digital features and car software. ah, the general driving impression in the u. s. s. u, v. is smoother. hell, it is silent on the interior, you. he almost no wind noises then of course, you profit from the fact that electric cars are way more silent then for example, combustion engine cars. furthermore, the adaptive suspension keeps most of the bombs outside. so you don't really fill them in the interior. in fact, this is really close to what i would imagine. if i think about luxurious driving, ah, the entry level version, which is the q s $450.00 plus comes in with $265.00 kilowatts at maria

average consumption between $6.23 kilowatt hours per $100.00 kelvin. i was given the range of her own 536-2660 kilometers. the top model is the $580.00 formatting which delivers $400.00 kilowatts. and it will make the dash from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and 4.6 seconds. while 6.7 seconds is the time the $450.00 plus takes me pretty like figure is for a machine. this imposing the interior of the q s s u, v. as you can tell, at 1st glance is really high quality. you have some nice materials, nice stitching thing here. everything fees and looks very luxurious. that in the middle you have the infotainment system which is due to its size and the weights tilted pretty easily usable,

at least that's what i think. furthermore, you have like 2 different options in head up displays. a smaller one, which we have right here, that gives you an image in around 4 and a half meters of distance. that we have your most important information like speed, speed limit, and also navigation if you're using it. and then there is the bigger version, which is the mental reality head up display that will project in 10 meters of distance. and that means it's around $77.00 inches of pizza. you will get in your field of view. and that is pretty neat. if you need it, i don't know, but i definitely go for the basic version because you will have your speed and the speed limit, which is also pretty nice because then you don't need to look down to check that. i mean, the space on the back is ample just as you can expect it from a car that is more than 5 meters in length. you have a lot of leg whom

a lot of head room and it's also pretty luxurious. you have everything you need back here so you can adjust the seats electrically. you can add some seed heating. you can adjust the temperature for the climate right here. and you can charge your smartphone with these 2, you sbc socket. and if you have nobody sitting in the center, then you can pull that down here, wireless smartphone charging a little space where you can have like maybe some snacks and cup holder here at the front. so basically you have everything you need for a long journey test car is equipped with an optional 3rd row of seats, but as it's usual for luxurious cars, you don't have to follow the seats yourself. you simply press a button and they will move out of the way electrically. you have to be careful though, because the 2nd someone presses the button, the front seat will also start to move.

i mean, it can definitely fit back here, but you should not be taller than i'd say one meter in 70. but for children it's definitely the right place. i thanks to the adaptive suspension leak us s u v can be put into our road mode and lift the chassis by 22 millimeters. that way, it can handle awful passages that you would not expect from such a call within motor on each axel, the format of the versions are perfect for off road use, since the power can instantly be sent to the wheel with the highest traction. we're axel steering with up to $4.00 degrees comes standard, making the huge car more maneuverable. the angle can actually be increased to 10 degrees before the fire and over the air update that can be done. a battery of the

issue as s u. v has a little more than 107 kilowatt hours of available energy. and charging can be done with up to $200.00 kilowatts. that means 15 minutes of charging, we'll give you around $250.00 k ominous off additional rate. ah. once you press the brake pedal, the rakes will not actually start working, but 1st the electric motors will start recuperating up to the maximum that they can perform. and it's only after that, if you need more breaking power, that the brakes will kick in that way. you will use less of your brakes so they will wear down slow and you will also recuperate energy. the driver can choose from 5 different dr. modes. eco comforts sport, individual and off road. in the q

s s, u, v is a pretty luxurious vehicle. i could experience it today, no doubt about it. but there of course vehicle it's out there that are a little more luxurious than this car. could think about land drove us range rover awe. maybe the badly been tega. but those do as of now not yet exist in purely electric version b, e t u s. s e v is highly luxurious, with surprisingly high off road capability and strong motors. on the downside, even the entry level version has a starting price of over 110000 euros in germany in

a graveyard, an ac kroganow for used cars from europe. everybody's looking for their damage in their office a couple on a quest to keep german classics alive. people like us are responsible for keeping mostly cars on the road and the people who risked their house to find automotive treasure amongst trash. do we have too many of them and we don't have access to protective polluted. the love of vintage design, the economics of this scrap metal industry and accuracy. do it yourself spirit come together here. my name is city, provide you now. hello to mechanic than the restore. i'll for lexicon. i just love the way most of these cars were built and the kind of indians they came with most of these cargo. he and his wife, tina decided to turn their passion for classic vehicles into business. for 10 years, vintage exotics has restored or refurbished over a 100 cars like these. this is

a 1993 honda civic e g. m is a build as drain. this is a very rare vehicle. this is a c. $43.00 am g for 1996, a concert of each engine. this is a mercedes, 190 ram for mercedes benz. and this is a very, very special car. this is a 2002 series from the old of u. m is the only one in the country. ghana imports about $100000.00 cars a year. 90 percent of these arrived in various states of disrepair. here most of these cars come from europe and america. and, and most of them come in to gonna sauvage sauvage means them slightly damage. understandably, it doesn't take long before cards with one wheel in the grave, qualified to go 60 thunder. once the car reaches the end of its driving life, it ends up here at the adverb, plushy scrap where nothing goes to waste. so

we're in the middle of the, i'm a little scrap yard and this is where most of their old cars that are no longer in use on the pop up. so everybody's looking for their diamond in the rough mechanics, like myself. we tend to come here when we're looking for how to find pot it help us to source pop locally, ramadan, imports indigo wondering hotspot. the duties are extreme with on site workers. process up to 20 cars a day meticulously, dismantling them to sort and harvest valuable components veritable automotive gold . you need skills could, is this kind of work to do, knew where to cut and where and what to cut. and that are from pass to the are very dangerous.

a car comprises of so many companies that engage in their wires, their body, their seeds, then then they led us inside. we have to come and there remove every tin and then we sort it usable parts get bought up by mechanics for car repairs. those that no one once including engine blocks get broken down sorted and so just scrap to the steel industry. today jay has spotted something he likes were coming around here. i thought i would be caught up at the wheels underneath the truck that my i caught my eye and i, i decided to get them. these are all the wheels. uri's in wheels. that's what i like them to looking for one floor, going to strip the pain to restore it and put it on one of my vehicles. the best of the metallic harvest goes to nearby market and with his citron rally will secured.

that's where jay is heading next. ah, with the go, i'm in the middle of i will so kind of the biggest the most the market, they're gonna look to, the less you see replacements steering wheels and airbag. and if you look at my right, you see a lot of brake pad, horses for on nissan hoses and most steering wheels, shock, i'm go with and things like that. so this is like being in the candy store because on the part of that i need them for restore my class because this is last time the couple of i just put the whole for the veto on one might be a mercedes benz from the main to the whole have a customer who's making the vehicle. so i'm going to replace it with this back at the workshop that tina is eager to see what jay has brought home

when i saw that he was i was they quite excited allen. i was really excited when i saw it because it's, it's a rare thing to find out where he found it another thing altogether the to waste no time getting to work on the restoration. stripping off the old paint and reconditioning the metal beneath. but there is still the beloved mercedes, w 2, a $1190.00 with a radiator leak. this car was built in germany in 1983, nearly 4 decades on command genuity of kaneen scrap workers help keep it going and it's a success. another classic car rescued from the scrap heat and another used european vehicle given a 2nd life on west africa roads. very

heartbreaking to see a lot of vehicles being cut up for your metal. but am people like us are responsible for keeping most of these cars on the road to them is just a matter that they are going to scrap book. but then to us it's something of great value. so we're happy to be part of the journey of keep in these vehicles alive, and the whole purpose is to keep it around for the next generation and them help develop the next phase of the automotive culture. tuning next time for more exciting developments from the world of mo.
