drunk slightly coming at the moment, we're looking at hydrogen stalls, but there is definitely on the candidate so 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 swiss population decided to introduce a higher tax on petrol and to use the revenue to finance real transport. 7 via hudson shown side long on the i can please super leg last couldn't. we have been thinking for a long time about what we could do about this move to a project coming into a violation, gone. and then we discovered that the con, toners have the same problem, phone and off dollars a visa and the image may, as we feel that more and more traffic was coming to college, more and more projects were coming home. and this was being felt in everyday life.

has been with these trumps 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 so much for securing muscle. a kristen with the was one of the founders of a popular initiative to protect the alpine region from too much traffic to p. fit off here, jake, and then she may ask her to install her initiative was for them to fight heavy goods traffic in transit trade. in other words, against the lower east, but simply cross switzerland on their way from germany to it tonight. we understood very quickly that simply launching an initiative against the motor way 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 i did to a final tentative. what do we do with the traffic and what we shifted to the

railway here for law and then of the bought the assistance of c, u t is 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 by which students cannot insure it all, say, participate and terminals ignore the nittany on southern gym. and i know that kiley cuz the 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 who's mountainous terrain doesn't make it an obvious candidate.

devonte is to be able to, this won't even read it and cheat. the real we is popular and the people have repeatedly decided to spend billions on further expansion. these people and so to real transport is fully integrated into the economy for both passenger and freight transport in between 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. mean, always the curious, the default they all 5 k, but the negro is the largest private employer in switzer with the 530. no, we employee almost 800000 people to be good and we belong to the people. take approximately 2000000 people in switzerland are our owners. i can tell them that we are a corporate systems soft soon as we speak for us, it is important to meet the logistics politician and sustainable. that's all,

that's why we worked according to the principal, she real transported before real transfer and it looked at austin and support this end of year free transports. and for absolutely marginal for a lot of you give little most one percent of our gut circumcise adults involved if, if in exceptional cases also we never the less 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 sustainability projects. we often the so with these wides you needing want him into the content of palm for to the switzerland was of high in your, 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 ve line we are working on other projects 30 to store them. one is called cargo sue to the old and to bone. this is about building

a freight trail we hope to come to the ground these, those a 2nd individual sustainability projected for light is h to mobility project in 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 guys, can i check off off of the them? not us. ok. on the 12345. you can use the central source of all

of that stuff. no, it's gone. it's been done on the in front of them. and them all. i checked the defaulting tray. we have various destinations over here. i may need germany, switzerland, northern europe, sweden, to, at the moment we have about 25 to 30 pounds of trains here, to punches and arrivals per die. we're working a full capacity, and this is all, uh, you know, the g. 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 again for all these trains that we've been snowed in your travel. so we switched to the to the go to the tunnel. and today the

trains are longer than they used to be. they 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 or some in nowhere is the real way network as dense as in europe. railways have shaped our lives on the continent for the last 2 centuries, connecting cultures and boosting the economy. today, 226000 kilometers of track. 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 europe, the you spent 27000000000 euros from 2014 to 2022 thirds of that went into expanding the motor ways. 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 me in northern macedonia. the whole platform was full of people. you can't imagine her credit, it was you to get sick, wouldn't even know. you should say that it was quite enough that you put once a day, a freight train with the 100 wagons punched by this train went through the whole of

east in 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 before 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 important is the forward. but 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. and what are the, do you not a, you know, how important international train would be for these villages in tones 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. furniture and i would have to, i'm to communism. we have lost one with the european union as a mafia. unbelievable. europe should learn from us. the name was

us. without traffic, there is no line because goods and capital must be constantly on the move of them and 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. so does that mean that if we had express trains, would i stay here and work for $200.00 euros? no, i would go to school p a to earn more money there. that's what trains are far. but that's what i would use and i have no way to drive any of those who have a car will go to school. the rest of the stay here. unfortunately, it's not 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 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 surfaces are caught, 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 its own. it lives on that and we feel that people with their official paperwork and we take the whole kinds of documents out. do you know the id drivers, license, vehicle registration, etc. i mean we're,

we're here because the next because city is quite far away. but if you have to drive 45 kilometers for every official visit, and there are no bosses will try and see how the book best. 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 to j of the subject of the will you be nice to be for 4 years and have received more and more request so you'll hear about the pension application or exactly, she already filled it out, but they sent back more paperwork. well, lets see would you like on shows it on the court? 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,

i'm glad they're here. they're a great help to us. come in and my colleague is waiting for you back to that. yes. we have a non looks at it, i'm sure a service will continue and will become a model throughout france. maybe even in other countries at least i hope so. do you think 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 then lots a lot of them are afraid of doing something rolling the process a so they need someone to support the kitchen. i think the human aspect is the most important thing about houses is one of the type, 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 to 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, deeper and 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. i dried your back to experience the next generation of bmw drive. 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, it 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 excited by a phone the cheapest you do. now you can offer customers attractive product without having to resort to the internal combustion engine stuff in via the demo discount. engineer felipe shaw is a good crew 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 that i hear. you can see an interesting comparison between an internal combustion engine, probably from a random gun or seen it 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 in 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. then an electric motor is anything i would just have said such a lot of jobs will be lost in this part of the manufacturing process is yeah. so you make a recent study suggest so the 6000000 or so of 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 sex. so these jokes are more or less disappeared over time, fasted 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 phone is old and it states, according to the study of these jobs, it almost balanced each other and i believe 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 the 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, the 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, consumers, and enormous amounts of energy, rear, or are needed for the batteries. only after 80000 kilometers, does an electric car have a better climate impact, then 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 easiest thing full to racer and also stated is you have one complete it is uh cities and streets with costs and tray. 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 dodge cities become more bank friendly for an overhang from alto sprag, switching from cod to bike is good for your help. okay. good for the environmental . yeah. it's good for the climate before the good for you. it's makes us most satisfied. the physical activity releases endorphins incidentally, and that makes you happy. so cycling is a kind of happiness, a garage with hooks open they're also the feed slice. it goes to 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 to bite from can compete with cost the medium distances we the awesome the but so

you can see, you can see the old, well, the old and underneath the marriage the most away, the main connection between the 2 biggest cities. awesome. and they may work through it, it's very busy rush hour. it gets very crowded and there was congestion to the light markets when they simple additions 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 linked to form . it is 15 kilometers from the center of name, a 100 to the center of items that you don't have to cycle the whole distance. it was more about connecting the surrounding villages to the to city, easy for me please. but with the admin to the bikes and it has become plans that you can easily cover the whole distance. and you'll there in half an hour for everybody. to click on the spell, switch to your window unit, the pallet is willing to change the infrastructure transfer offering something good comes out to make it attracts more people for people feel more comfortable for the

to the big cities in the netherlands especially which i sent them to them already we think hey, i'm focusing more on the cycling done pedestrians for what i think that's what we'll say become more and more common in the rest of the netherlands to kind of throughout your locals that actually would open 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 passed 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 are 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, as we think by 2030 or so as that disrupting 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 life time. there are 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 model. 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 costs. we do a 100000 plus miles a year. and so you get the benefit of a 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 as a soc is a whole people are excluded from transportation now, who can afford a cox con, excess jobs that are further away comp. paul,

take in the economy for 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 world. and i guess 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 city life and all kinds of new possibilities. on a personal level, i'm most excited about not having to drive again, but that's just because i don't like driving. but i think most exciting like 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 going to have free transportation and i think that transforms all kinds of things that brings everyone who wants to participate in the economy into the

country. no one's excluded from participation because of where they level or lack of transportation, all the costs of transport. i think most profoundly different to what we see today . and we might even in the future have a right. the transportation, you know, is part of the universal basic income or some other form of social social contract that we develop. driverless taxi's are already being tested in several cities in the 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 inequality. 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 in equality to climate change enabled by technology across all kinds of texas is a guarantee that we capture all those benefits. my concern is that we fail to capitalize on the opportunities we take their own decisions. we try and prop up and protect on competitive dying industries. it comes out the leadership, ultimately, our ability to take the right decisions to deliver us much better. well, the much can prosper us much more. resilience 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 unclear of will decisions. along with our willingness to make changes to our have it the
