w news on the go, just download that awesome tube to fly. ultimate apps still allow me to give you access to a licensed use run. well, so what us to push notifications, any breaking out if you bought on a new story. well, so it used to send the photos and videos of the actual go for the shots that mobile i'm using, but some of the out of that sound d, w dunc field looks at the roads and viruses kicking, you're kind of good. the, i sorry, one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the worldwide in such an one. great timing is very hard

to say. very difficult, john find out about time on storing info. mike runs the good afternoon. well, is there a train to school for you from here? yes, 5, 26 am only in the morning. yes. we're on the cusp of the fastest, deepest, most consequential transformation of transport. this is every bit as transformative is when the, the car replace the whole the to the priesthood runway would just stick to the generation an additional $3000000.00 tons of c o. 2 is absolute madness to do that and tons of climb across. this is not the 1st 2 years from now. self driving trucks will be the no bush. that's all i won't be around to see them on this side of the

the, the room. we send roads crews cross the european landscape like arteries. we use them to commute to travel and to transport goods. nearly every aspect of our lives depends on them. the gigantic nobility infrastructure has been created in europe. but as a result were now faced with serious problems. fuel prices are exploding. cities are clogged with traffic while in the countryside, whole regions are cut off the traffic and transport because the highest c o 2 emissions in europe. while other sectors are slowly reducing emissions. the

ecological footprint of the transport sector is growing the at the beginning of the corona virus pandemic, we had a brief glimpse of what it looks like when the world standstill traffic came to a halt and we got a brief respite from pressing questions. like, how can we make transport cleaner? can these clean transport be accessible to all the because today we all depend on transportation. the we are pins love to travel. nowhere our suitcases packed more often than they are in europe. above all, we loved to fly,

the low cost airlines are particularly popular. they dominate the market and make flying cheaper and more flexible. the. these are all flights in europe on july 16th, 2017, twice as many as in 1996 after a short depth due to the pandemic, the curve is now rising again. in 2033, it's estimated. the number of passengers will have doubled once more. the air transport is responsible for 14 percent of all transport emissions, but the true cost of flying to the beach is much higher than the price of the plane ticket. more and more young people want to see this change like here in vienna. seeing as se,

outline is very difficult to the top nice diflucan, so the airline industry is fine. green motion plans to continue to grow company. others was supposed to reduce the nation with no sweat and technological transformations a way to find the future. and we need a reduction now so, and that can only be achieved through a reduction in a trust me a tap thing a is co founder of this be grounded network. she's been fighting the expansion of the in his airport for years. they also come from, do you have access in the airport currently has to run what mr. sanders has wanted to expand for a very long time on expansion plans or announce to 1990 or a some sizing, and that has been resistance from the region ever since. and of course, and recently, using the climate issue has become increasingly serious. i'm with arrived in the climate crisis and the airport still wants to take over an additional $660.00 heck

to split the solitude. one was a climate damaging wants to project the to the runway would effectively generate an additional $3000000.00 tons of c. o. 2, it is absolute, mad not to do that in times of climate process. you have one that says we have sites 660 hector's of austria's most valuable agricultural land from being used for climate damaging aerial price. that is really good. we have rained in the growth mania, but the boxes is not the ones that come on it's, it's kind of, it cannot be used as an international airline ticket is titled as a lower rate than food. this has to stop. the

transport is a complex issue. one that effects to solve decades ago, we here in europe decided to outsource the production of many consumer goods and basic necessities rather than produce them ourselves. what this meant for transport was clear. we would be more and more of it. take a high quality german e bike, for example. it's made of over a 1000 individual parts that are produced in all different regions of the world. the raw materials for the batteries come from south america or australia. the batteries are manufactured in china. some of the electronic parts in germany. the engine is assembled and hungry and then shipped back to germany. the german tires are made in indonesia, the japanese brake disks are made in malaysia. the rim tape is made in vietnam, and the brake components are assembled in malaysia or china and then installed in germany. the chain is made in japan. the 4th in taiwan. the through axle is also

produced. bear but then assembled into the wheel in portugal, along with the rims and spokes before being delivered to germany. only of all these parts are delivered on time, can the bike be completed? almost all of these goods are shipped from asia to europe by ship. first they passed through the suez canal, then they crossed the mediterranean. the destination is usually a northern european port, rotterdam, antoine, or homburg. for example. the shipping is responsible for at least 3 percent of global c, o 2 emissions and is coming under increasing scrutiny. while the hermit causes the climate is clear, shipping is subject to exceptions. this is true for air transport as well. neither is covered by either the paras climate agreement or the emissions trading scheme.

most goods are deliberate, according to be just in time system. in other words, they are produced only when needed in order to avoid storage time. only when transport runs absolutely smoothly can the european economy function. the pandemic in the war and ukraine have shown us how interwoven and fragile the supply and production processes are. and how helpless we are when they are interrupted. shipping is followed by the next important link and the transportation chain. trucks, the even coal, if is a truck driver. he loves his jobs. his home is in bulgaria, shrove whittaker, bar and above that post,

but i'm supposed to say they want it over to started with my grandmother to go dress test all her brother god rest. his soul was also a truck driver 25 or 30 years ago when he gives an altima she want. when he came home, he was pulled off children, something like that. we would 246 a grandkids. he always had a whole bag of candy for us. like one time wherever you put me in the truck, sent me on his lock amount and that was the whole discussion that moved from then on. i wanted to be a truck driver to my dream. can someone know how to do strongly thing as a whole, i know some 6200000 trucks drive europe's roads. huge number and like even color. most of the drivers come from eastern europe edition, a little part of the eastern european truck drivers in western europe. this is mainly for financial resistance. items include wages, different, homeless,

me. if you're in 1000 euro here, you in 2000 euro. so that's already a big difference. it's want you to the money to the where are you calling you back there? oh, yes, great. so is a quiet the i don't understand. the name of the neighbor, neighbor remaining is no book area. sophia plus 2 plus div. yes. how's the law in friends they store diesel from me, but also while i was sleeping in

france in france, that's a real problem. so come, i don't think i'm going to go to them. hold on, hold on, hold on. yes. above us, our city. yeah. this part of the load is going to mercy this part to get the village of consolidated cargo or robust bushland, germany, bloomberg, and it's done. and then back to iraq, just a little on you quite a lot. the you law has strict rules for laurie driver as they are supposed to return to their home country every 4 weeks, for example. but although the laws are supposed to help, the driver is work healthier and have more free time. there is resistance, eastern europe and drivers, fear these rules will restrict their ability to work,

rendering them uncompetitive. the 75 percent of freight transport in europe is handled by trucks. no wonder road transport is so damaging to the climate. in 2019 and accounted for 26 percent of all c o 2 emissions in the u. while total c o 2 emissions have fallen. those generated by road transport have actually present over the same period the

of the if you're wants to become climate neutral vehicles of the future will have to be emission free truck manufacturers are working hard on alternatives to the diesel engine. another goal isn't always for the one in for the one of the major technical challenges the truck sees the question of how we can implement c o 2 free transport for freight traffic on the road on the altars. these are powerful vehicles. their engines have a load of power and they need it and farm and they drive many kilometers a year. last month they need high payloads and a lot of flexibility mode. and we showed that these features will remain very important for future vehicles as well. once my team and i are interested in developments in the arena, refusal know in particular, alternative fuels that could possibly be considered as energy sources for the power

and trucks. finally, coming at the moment, we're looking at hydrogen falls, but there is definitely on the candidate that interest us to see on there are definitely environmentally friendly or alternatives to the trunk. never the less, only one year a p and country has consistently chosen alternatives. switzerland, in 1994, the swift population decided to introduce a higher tax on petrol and to use the revenue to finance real transport. of the hudson shone side long on the i can please super lick las couldnt. we have been thinking for a long time about what we could do about this move to a project coming into violation, gone, and then we just got the deposit comes on this had the same problem and phone and all the dollars the visa and those immune mails we feel that more and more traffic was coming the call this morning. my projects were coming home and this was being

felt in everyday life. has been with these trips driving through the villages and really making life difficult, the yellow to replace the slave initially and. and then we said the, we can do something about it to can to get the mind to much less getting more. a kristen murder was one of the founders of a popular initiative to protect the alpine region from too much traffic and he took it off. yeah. jake and then she made for to install her initiative, was for them to find heavy goods as traffic in transit creative. in other words, so again, the lower east that some p crossed switzerland on their way from germany to it tonight. we understood very quickly that simply launching an initiative against the motor away would not want to talk. you have to convince people to vote for the initiative or if you say it's against the motor way. also that somehow doesn't work . so you have to formulate it positively, and that's when we have the idea to all final to understand what's in this. what do

we do with the traffic and what we shifted to the railway here for lock. and then of the bob with wellsystems at c, u t h. and what is that goal? the goal is no more than 650000 lorissa. yeah, crossing down stomach most of the in order to achieve based on going to one of the things such as being subsidized. so because the switch to rail traffic code, right. and so tim and also being billed the supply. so it says, cannot insure it all, say, participate and terminals ignore the net to me on southern gym. i know that kylie could see that it was successful. it was a huge move. yeah, no, it was a great experience to live on. the switzerland is the only country in europe where the train is the most important means of transport for both people and goods that in

a country whose mountainous terrain doesn't make it an obvious candidate. the bonus b ski boat through this fault, even though we didn't cheat the real we is popular and the people have repeatedly decided to spend billions on further expansion these people. and so as a we'll transport is fully integrated into the economy for both passenger and freight transport and the ticket against the large swift retail chain, negro is working to reduce its carbon footprint to an absolute minimum. that's why almost all deliveries are made by train. we get always the curious, the pretty fault. they all gave it. the negro is the largest private employer in switzer with the fact that, you know, we imply almost a 100000 people to be good and we belong to the people, take approximately 2000000 people in switzerland, our owners. i can tell you that we are a corporate systems soft communities. this reason for us it is

important to make logistics call fissions and sustainable. that's all. that's why we worked. according to the principal, she real transported before real transfer that he looked at often and support this end of year free transports. and for absolutely marginal for a lot of it is little. most one percent of our guests are implies it don't involved if, if in exceptional cases also we nevertheless have to fly good time that we charge a fee for these transport ice v. like we put this money into a fund which we then use to promote our own because the stand ability projects we often the and so with these wides, puny eating. lot him into the content of palm for to the switzerland was of high and you're in the development of real transport. so autobody goes on the passenger side because and on the freight side of meet development to solomon on twilight, to then throw it in the same vein line. we are working on other projects 30 to store them. one is called cargo sue to hold them to bone. this is about building

a freight trail we hope to come to the ground these, those 2nd individual sustainability approaches light is h to mobility project and switzerland. it's which allows us to start transporting goods using fuel cell technology and the key to became in the negro also has its goods from a broad deliver it almost exclusively by train. transporting goods by rail producers $43.00 times less c o 2 than air transport. and 6 times less than transport by truck cargo terminal north of milan is an indirect consequence of this waste referendum. i got the bus, those guys can i check off of the them? not us. ok. on the 12345. you can use the central donors of all

of that stuff. no, it's gone. gone, gone, don't in front of them. and them all. i checked the defaulting truth. we have various destinations over here. i may need germany sweets. no. the near on sweden to at the moment we have about 25 to 30 pounds of trains. here to punch is an arrival time. we're working a full capacity and so so i'll, uh, you know, the g, me a, can i by any chance, tell me if the hey g, b, you 462858. 1 is the wrong thing. i don't see it anywhere in the departure. so yes, it's arriving. ok, thanks. is there any difference, all these trains that we've been snowed in your travels, can you switch to the,

to the go to the tunnel and today the trains are longer than they used to be used to be 550 meters long. today they are $650.00 mates as low. so you can say there is more work, and that is a good thing for somebody in nowhere is the real way network as dense as in europe. real ways have shaped our lives on the continent for the last 2 centuries, connecting cultures and boosting the economy. today, 226000 kilometers of tract. chris cross your if you lead them end to end, you can go around the world 5 and a half times. but there's a catch. the use real networking system of 26 separate real networks that are not fully compatible with one another. to connect to your help that you spent 27000000000 euros from 2014 to 2022 thirds of that went into expanding the

motor weights while only one 3rd was invested in rail networks. today we can easily reach major cities by high speed training. often more quickly than by plate but there are norm is gaps when it comes to local transportation. in some regions of europe, the railway network is decaying. the economic boom no longer reaches these areas. the traffic arteries that once brought vibrancy or decaying, cutting off small towns and villages. a tragic example of the decline of the railway is coach on e in northern macedonia. the whole platform was full of people. you can't imagine or crated it was you to get sick, wouldn't even know. you should say that it was quite enough that people, once a day, a freight train with the 100 wagons punch line to say,

this train went through the whole of east and macedonia. 100 freight costs and all of them here at coach on these stations. i'm gonna tell you both. today the industry is getting worse and worse, and this is not like the forward during communist times. and now no freight train has arrived for over half a year. but it wouldn't be possible at any time. the station is open for freight transfer, but most it was significantly and it was done. and so was wondering, is a thoughtful for this goes over to so we'll do. the passenger train runs in the evening once a day in the morning. it takes people from here to scope. yeah. and back in the evening of what i was advised. that was the, not a, you know, how important international train would be for these villages and towns for, should it that the coach any, do you need to come in, cha doubtful. the whole picture, whole, the train could reach them all in spanish, and i would have apple, i'm to communism. we have lost one with the european union as a mass. yeah,

i'm believe, oh, europe should learn from us the other way around. we'll be able to name was us without traffic, there is no line because goods and capital must be constantly on the move of the exchange of goods means life the the trains have to be used. unfortunately, that's no longer the case, the company's of disobedience and the means if we had express trains, would i stay here and work for 200 euros? no, i would go to school p a to earn more money there with a book, that's what trains are for the password. the reason i have no way to drive anywhere . most of those who have a car will go to school. the rest of the stay here. unfortunately it's that is all the catastrophe. it could be different, but that's the way it is. i need to know that what that was to get to work it by the, by the it's not only in europe,

south and east that regions are under served by public transport. the situation is similar here in northern france where there are no buses or trains. people move away, the more people turn their backs on their region. the more public services are cut, a vicious circle, the result deserted stretches of countryside, the value in france, something new is being tested here. the local government comes to the people of it's the only liaison and we thought people with their official paperwork and we take the whole kinds of documents. y'all do not find a driver's license,

vehicle registration, etc. on n y where he it because the next because city is quite far away, honey. so if you have to drive 45 kilometers for every official visit and there are no bosses or trying to book that. so many people don't have a driver's license, a tool, so we've noticed that there is an urgent need, especially in rural areas like this one in the, in department and northern front. so it's most easy if you take of the subject of the lamp inactive p for 4 years and have received more more requests as well. so you'll hear about the pension application or exactly, she already filled it out, but they sent back more paperwork. well, let's say would you like own shows it on the course? sorry, no, you can't exactly say there's a lot going on here without a car, it's complicated to choose their own most. no shops here. if you don't have a car,

you have to ask your neighbors to help one. otherwise it's difficult. so i'm glad that he is there a great help to us. come in, my colleague is waiting for you that that yes the i'm sure i'll service will continue and will become a model throughout france. maybe even in other countries at least i hope so. the you see, because there really is a great need on the internet as a will include. but even if you have a computer, so there's no one to help you. at some point we usually process lots of pension applications. that's the last application. people have to fill out and their lives . a lot of them are afraid of doing something rolling the processes, so they need someone to support the kitchen. i think the human aspect is the most important thing about houses is one of the tell you the what happens to places that are cut off from the rest of the country. what does it do to the people who live there? certainly a well functioning local transport system could change

a lot. but in fact, the opposite is the case. in the 19 twenty's, friends had a track network of 60000 kilometers. one 3rd was for rural areas alone. today it's down to 18000 kilometers for the whole of france. for one reason for this development, the rise of the automobile. the 19 sixties and seventies witnessed the birth of individual transport. having your own car was seen as a sign of prosperity and success. first in western europe, then in the east as well. people drove their own cars wherever possible, rather than using public transport. this radically changed our lives and our cities, the car brands today are national emblems. these corporations are part of national identity. they have a great deal of influence. as large employers there corded by politicians, the

car traffic is responsible for more emissions than trucks and airplanes. accounting for some 62 percent and the amount of pollutants is increasing. how can that be? one reason, s u, v, it's extremely popular, the burn above average amounts, gasoline any success in reducing passenger car emissions has been wiped out with them. that will soon come to an end. the industry is facing historical people, not least because of rising fuel prices. the welcome to bmw drives your back to experience the next generation of bmw of you. i dr. look them up front on these in the near for decades, the car industry was protected by the fact that the technology for internal combustion engines was sewage streamlined, complicated. some of them it takes 10 years and

a lot of money to develop an internal combustion is all it will cut off. but with the advent of electric cars, there's body, they're telling me that is all it said via phone the cheapest you do. now you can offer customers attractive products without having to resort to the internal combustion engine. that's in the yeah, the most definitely. the engineer felipe shaw is a guru of the european e car seat. he's developed various electric vehicles over the last 25 years. now he works for the core, a french company that is building a gig, a factory for electric car batteries. ask one of the things. here you can see an interesting comparison between an internal combustion engine, probably from a random gun or seen on the electric motor of the new again, off the side to compress the phase. and at 1st glance, you can already see that they differ in terms of size compactness, materials. on closer inspection,

you also notice differences and complexity. the number of who is, is cables, connections belt, yeah, all. this clearly shows probably how much more work and resources it takes to produce an internal combustion engine than an electric motor. its the football public cannot do anything different subsets of jobs will be lost in this part of the manufacturing process is yeah. so you make a recent study suggest the 6000000 or so jobs in the european car industry. some of you don't know about 10 percent or used to meet internal combustion engines. just don't want to. okay. so these jobs will more or less disappear over time, busted on a new job to be created to build these electric motors, as well as all the other components of electric car. and i mean, i see an increase according to this study because these jobs, it almost balanced each other hardly the but will there

actually be as many jobs in the future? it's a topic of dispute. there's also disagreement about europe's future as a global car producer the batteries generate lion's share of the cost of electric vehicles. they are mostly imported from china or other asian countries. europe must be careful not to become even more dependent on 3rd countries. to keep up, the industry has launched a major initiative to produce its own batteries. the european batteries alliance, 14 gig of factories for batteries are currently operating in europe. 7, our european for our asian and 3 american. this number is expected to at least triple in the next 10 years, with european projects waiting,

the rates the, the switch to electric cars could end are dependence on oil. but to electric cars help save the climate and the environment. the production of these vehicles consumed an enormous amount of energy, rear, or are needed for the batteries. only after 80000 kilometers does an electric car have a better climate impact in a car with a combustion engine? until then, the auto has to compensate for the energy guzzling production, and the cars are only more climate friendly if they are powered by green electricity. and there's one more problem to tackle traffic jams. the aliasing soul to racer, and also stated is you have one complete it is uh, cities and streets with costs and training. but that's changing more and more

cities and moving towards the considering cause after the gas just be safe because they're all on spikes as the main mode of transport, extra to support. we lease duly talents, has worked as a traffic engineer for 35 years. she has helped many dutch cities become more bank friendly and overhung from a to about switching from cod to bike is good for your help. all right, good for the environmental young's good for the climate. for the good for you. it's makes us most satisfied. the physical activity releases endorphins, you for them and that's makes you happy. so cycling is a kind of happiness, a garage or looks open. they're also the feed slice. it goes through a good means of transport for distances up to 7 or even 10 kilometers for experience like last month, which with the bikes today, you can travel much further. the distance is where the bikes can compete with cause to meet him distances. we the awesome the but you,

you can see you can see the old, well vehicles and underneath those on there is the most away. the main connection between the 2 biggest cities. awesome. they may work through it. it's very busy rush hour. it gets very crowded and there is congestion to the like. marketplace. the politicians in this region have decided not to build another mode to a consent to build a site clean expressway to get people to switch to cycling. now it's a link to form. it is 15 kilometers from the center of naming home to the center of island basically. but you don't have to cycle the whole distance. so it was more about connecting the surrounding villages to the to city. easy for me please. but with the aspen to the bikes, and it has become plans that you can easily cover the whole distance. and you'll there in half an hour or by the click of the stuff switch to your window unit. the biology is willing to change the infrastructure often something good comes out to me. it detracts more people for

people feel more comfortable for the to the the big cities in the netherlands especially which i sent them to them already. we think, hey, i'm focusing more on the cycle and pedestrians for i think that's what we'll say become more and more common in the rest of the netherlands service. i'm. it's around to your local, the restaurant. it opens the cycle paths are changing the face of cities. in some regions, a lot of money is being spent on this. the pandemic has encouraged a change and thinking the cycle pass have been added in various european cities over the last 5 years. the but to this day, europe is still a continent of the car. so how can we get our act together and develop a climate friendly transport system? it's just possible that electric cars could fundamentally change the way we think

about more billing. the. so we're on the costs that the foss, this deepest most consequential transformation of, of, of transport in, in a $100.00 plus is. i mean, is this is every bit as transformative as when the, the car replace the horse, it'll transform global geo politics, impact climate change. i mean, the, the, the consequences of this disruption i just profound james r. beth is the founder of the independent think tank rethinks in london. he looks at how new technologies are changing society. we think by 2030 or so that, that disruption played out. we're going to see self driving vehicles come to the market and that changes everything. because self driving vehicles allow us to unlock the wheel benefit of electric vehicles, and that's

a long lifetime or 20 moving costs and electric vehicle compared to 2000 in a gasoline vehicle. so it just less to go wrong. vastly lower maintenance costs, but more importantly a much longer vehicle lifetime. so an electric vehicle can last about a 1000000 miles. but that's irrelevant in the private ownership models we have today. well, we will own our own costs because we do 10000 miles a year. but when you go to a fleet, so in a ship model, but we don't own all vehicles, we just take right boat taxes. each of those calls we do a 100000 plus miles a year. and so you get the benefit of the long vehicle lifetime and so you can spread the upfront cost of the vehicle over the vehicle lifetime. so you, tomorrow you travel costs just a 1000000 of the cost of the vehicle. i met his shoes, benefits the society is a whole. people are excluded from transportation now,

who can afford a cox con, excess jobs that are further away con paul take in the economy. but once we have an autonomous drive, as it seems inevitable, those barriers will full out and it will, it will be transformative and all kinds of ways. we're going to see a very, very different well, the much less with the 2013 as, as, as, as, as we realize that the benefits of this new system, the bill will transform, you know, where we live, where we work, the structure of the cities. it'll open all kinds of new possibilities on a personal level. i'm most excited about not having to drive again, i think. but that's just because i don't like driving. but i think most excitingly is just the fact that anyone, any way, will be able to access transport. i think we know we believe that in cities we're gonna have free transportation. and i think that transforms all kinds of things

that brings everyone who wants to participate in the economy, into the economy. no one's excluded from participation because of where they level or lack of transportation, all the costs are transferred. and i think that's profoundly different to what we see today. we might even in the future have a right to transportation, you know, as part of the universe of basic income or some other form of social social contract that we develop. driverless taxi's or already being tested in several cities, me, us the weather and when this technology will become more widespread remains to be seen. it also remains to be seen whether more than just metropolitan areas will benefit from the development the, the network of charging stations for e cars is growing, denser. push here to there is an equality. so far, many parts of europe have been left out. the, i think we have the potential to solve some of the most complex and pressing

problems between equality to climate change enabled by technology across all kinds of texas is i've guarantee that we capture all those benefits. my concern is that we failed to capitalize on the opportunities we take their own decisions. we try and pop up and protect on competitive dying industries that comes out the leadership. ultimately, our ability to take the right decisions to deliver us a much better world, the much been prosperous, much more resilient and much firewall. we have plenty of opportunities to make mobility in europe more sustainable and fair starting now. many technologies are already available. how consistently we approach the changes depends above all on political decisions, along with our willingness to make changes to our have it the
