stairs who's done, we can get a grip on plastic police house. let's have a look. the 2, the years to us. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter, every weekend dw, the from powerful petrol pickups to electric, dump trucks, buses and commercial vehicles. plus an island test lab for an all electric future. all that and more now on rev. the

pickup trucks aren't that popular in europe, but there are a few companies that have cashed in on this nice market. enter ford with the ranger raptor a capable off road or with a payload of 717 p lowes to help you move people and cargo of like hi guys. why come to pass the loaner today? i'm here with the on you fall to arrange the rep, the pick up. i asked myself the question, why is to this cost sol, payments and pumps you know, around the what is it because of its capabilities? is it because of the reliability, or is it just because opens of variations and i'm going to find out today for you. the, the ranger has been one of the top selling pickup trucks in europe over the past few years. and the raptor is the top of the line ranger,

which means it comes packed with features. and now ford has tweet the newest iteration. the biggest change for the dates to the range of rep the was an engine swapped before we had the tools to deal with $213.00 hosp. ah, now we got the eco boost me 6 with 292 horsepower and 491. you meet us of talk. they are promising a lot of fun. while some pick up tourists aren't thrilled with a gasoline only option. ford has announced that a 2 liter diesel variance will be available starting mid 2023. the fed won't have as much power as the 3 liter v 6. but pick ups and diesel power trains do go hand in hand. so let's talk a little bit about the general driving impression in you. and of course you can

feel that you are driving a big and heavy car just by watching in the side minerals where you can see the lanes up pretty close to your wheels. and you can see over the top of the cars in front of you, this gives you is something like a boss feeling i would say. but all it, all the range of rep uh, drives really comfortable, its surprisingly comfortable and like a modern s u a v to me, i really like that point and i think it doesn't even feel like an all of fraud car anymore. it's just a normal car for me to drive here. the 10 speed automatic gearbox ships gears easily and smoothly, which helps this monster feel quite gusto on the road. but bord is also revise the entire chassis, which means the rafter is versatile and capable, especially when you swap asphalt per dirt. weighing a little over 2400 kilos. the raptor isn't light, but it's still nimble. although with fuel consumption of $13.00 leaders per 100

kilometers, it isn't the most environmentally friendly car either. and that figure will drop when the pick up is loaded or when you switch to a more aggressive driving mode from the many options on offer. new ford ranger read the office a huge variety of drive modes, which would change the configuration of the engine and transmission of costs and of costs be a b, s calibration on these. the ability control all the steering and fault did this because they say if you drive on a bad conditions, for example, you just put it in another mode, this car and the color change everything itself. so you have no problem driving and bad conditions are in conditions you don't feel comfortable with. force has even packed in a surprise for you. when you take the raptor off road you most special

drive moti in the foot range or rep. uh, is the baja mode the by how mode sets of the car up for all of the road. but you should drive really, really fast with it because the base difference of the suspension, everything is working really, really fast and the off road to right. so if you hit the exam, loretta fall, then yeah, is you can, you can go like 180 kilometers with that font rate is a rep there in an offer to around which is pretty impressive if you feel it. baja mode is an homage to the legendary borrow $1000.00 race or the ford ranger has already proved its metal. and this version hits the on and 7.9 seconds. so what's my final verdict for today? i had a lot of fun driving the ford ranger rep, the in the fraud and then on the road as well. i think it's a comfortable car and gives you

a lot of variation and it's capable to drive off fraud to really, really good. are all in all of the only dom point for me is because i live in cologne. i couldn't park it right there. but if you buy one of these, you will consider just the prices for the top of the line. ford ranger rafter begin to just under 80000 euros in germany, but how many takers it will find in europe, which is on the past 2 electrification remains to be seen. on the plus side, you get a car with massive amounts of off road capability and the capacity to lug around a payload of more than $700.00 kilos. but the price and fuel economy figures leave something to be desired. the, this is it. the largest electric truck in the world. here the dumper is operating in the limestone. corey of a switch cement works, weighing more than

a 120 tons. the dump truck can transport up to 54 tons of rock. it can tackle slopes of up to 14 degrees or the speed of up to 40 kilometers an hour. what's more, this machine must even generates its own electricity. when driving down hill with a full load, the $634.00 kilowatt synchronous motors, regenerative system, generates more electricity, then is required for the empty ascent. this is how the dump or as batteries are charged and how additional c o 2 neutral electricity is generated at and here are a few images of how the unique machine was created from a conventionally powered temper. the conversion has resulted in around $50000.00 leaders of diesel being saved every year. a company in the german state of syringe ha,

specializes in converting machines to electric power at 50 and the small town of loopy sell. almost all types of conventional commercial vehicles are converted to 5th, electric drive trains and then tested. here is a fully converted timer machine on a test drive, accelerating with the quiet bush of its electric motor. the projects technical lead sebastian house is satisfied. after all, each of these conversions is an individual project and this one is a special vehicle for customers from asia. in the future, this electrically converted garbage truck will be making the rounds in singapore. the same facility also sees the conversion of diesel powered construction vehicles, which also make the switch to eat power. the mechanics and the hydraulics of the excavators are retained while the battery and motor are converted . about then we simply replace the diesel engine with one of our electric motors

with the entire control system and the accumulator that provides the energy in do you have to call the battery the idea? nicky, bye. you can see a lot of cooling, hoses here, crew and get them if you have to heat it up in certain phases and with an in give it, we can do all that. this can. we've developed a thermal management system for a battery packs a accident ticket. after the conversion, the excavator can work for about a day with an output of a 150 kilowatt hours and is fully charged again in less than 2 hours. the batteries which are especially made for the conversions were developed in house by the company including these, their latest generation, lithium ion batteries. it does as an example that this is a modular system that we can produce small batteries and large batteries depending on customers, requirements of the, in the batteries or crash proof crash. and the whole thing is packaged into

a composite system in which is protected with strong metal plates. so i think that they should go this kind of battery module secured against accidents has an output of 58 kilowatt hours. depending on the application. several of them can be used together, but the price per section electrically converted vehicle is still much higher than the price of a diesel. however, the purchase is made attractive by a subsidy of 80 percent of the conversion costs. what's more road usage fees are saved because electric vehicles are exempt from the truck toll here at light 6 public transport department. they're completely focused on an electric future. at the end of june 2022. what is possibly the largest e infrastructure project in eastern germany was inaugurated. the lights like

a bus port. 11000000 euros were invested in the bus depot, which has space for 50 electric charging points. a further investment of 46000000 euros went into new e buses, network upgrades, and workshops. i can see if that goes to you, if it's in the real strength is efficiency for comparison, a normal diesel bus and the same size consumes around $36.00 to $38.00 leaders per 100 kilometers. so while with the electric, the bicycle with the equivalent is $11.00 to $12.00 leaders. so just one 3rd, if you don't want to slip in one of this kind of a bus costs around 650000 euros. $38.00 of them were expected to be on the streets by the end of 2020 to $3.00 medium voltage. transformers are the heart of the system with a total connected load of 2 mega. once it's part of the lights in public transport company reacting to the policy requirements of the

e. u. transport companies have also setup charging points that the stops sold. buses can also be recharged during breaks. but such high performance charging stations for commercial vehicles are still in short supply cord coastal fund cannot boast off and his team at the national organization for hydrogen and fuel cell technology are working on the design of high performance charging networks for the whole of germany on behalf of the federal government. the photo is this, the challenge is doing something that's never been done before. a complete change of systems and fix the business. the system based on fossil fuels is to be completely phased out, at least in europe, which is basically the decision that the you has just taken and replaced by an electric system. and it's always know from the zips that linked was assisting truck charging stations could soon look like this one from switch energy supplier go fast

. truck makers are also in the early phases of experiments in electron mobility. for example, mercedes has the extras truck for loads of up to 40 tons. with a peak output of $400.00 kilowatts had a range of 3 to 400 kilometers. it's still about 3 times as expensive as a diesel actress. but a government subsidy of 80 percent can be had when purchasing it. it remains to be seen whether electric trucks, with overhead lines like these on a test track on the autobahn in chalet speak, holstein can hold their own against the battery only machines. in this case, the infrastructure is very expensive. in prom spike though, inductive charging technology built into the street has been tested for some time. this tech allows the electric buses to be recharged from below in

a short time without contact. of course, whether battery power can win the race for the best technology and commercial vehicles will depend to a large extent on how fast the charging network develops. if you want more rev, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and developed mobility around the world with couldn't make you very happy vintage classics and future tapco just some of the exciting content waiting for you . subscribe to us youtube slash b w. rev. and you'll always be up to speed the okay. we're a handful of people are committed to bettering the world. call the bach is cost us the, the slowest law enforcement officer on the plan,

the, the free fathers, salvas. those churches are in the most remote places, far from civilization. august brought cookies, a mayor who overlooks one of the most beautiful harpers in the entire gmc from the terrace of his townhome the and the fisherman. truth is some of the 2 of us, the early bird doesn't want to renounce the tradition of fishing, the man pokey, an experimental island laboratory that with the help of the car manufacturer, a citron hopes to become green and self sufficient to visit this real world test

lab and experiment and emission for a living. you 1st have to take the ferry. unfortunately, when it docs and the for the vin, for you, it's diesel engines blow a lot of pollutants into the air, but right, it's a k. you're greeted by law enforcement officers with the slowest, but most environmentally friendly police car in the world and electric situated. i mean top speed, 45 kilometers in our simpleton. again, this cars, the islands mascot. we used to have a motorcycle and we had to take the ferry 2 roads to fuel off because there is no fuel station here with the electric car. we're always ready for action. and we can charge it at any charging station here. and how can you make up and we no longer have to worry about running out of gas modem and i've been the sort of just taking me of almost to tell you what some of the reasons i got too much. but how key not only relies on emission free mobility from electric cars with the help of citrus.

they want to use the sun and wind to build a completely self sufficient green energy in charging network. a holistic approach to sustainability that includes, for example, a smart lighting system to ensure energy saving, lighting across the island. in order to execute these plans, you need imagination, creativity, and a strong will decision maker. someone exactly like policies may or may not lose. you have to get the whole project here is a big experiment, whether it's electric cars or the solar power systems to but we also have an electric ship. okay, cool. it's like in a lab mikey, we try to find out if it works in practice, i'm, if you're not and how we can go on with that. for me, just eyeball ended up. in ancient times, hockey was a rich island of 8000 inhabitants. copper it was mine. and later the island developed into a center for sponge diving. but horatio the former capital,

now lies in ruins. the glory days are over. in winter, a mere 200 people remain here. the only one who nose every inch of the island is the priest. father salvas, a remote monastery and a few churches have survived. but he now has to face more mundane issues. he turns to the municipal representative for advice about electricity bills. in november 2021 greek prime minister carrier estimates, a talk is opened up photo voltaic system to fulfill the islands electricity requirements. a cooperative open to all residents was founded. as members, they could by electricity and have a say in how solar energy was used. here but then we let me get into the activity. we're talking about an energy democracy with which we solve the problem. and i'm assuming i'll use residents also have control over the energy produced on the island element. well, not quite yet,

because hockey officially still belongs to the electricity network of the nearby island, the roads. and there are still problems adapting the advanced payments for the residents to the new conditions. but the positives outweigh the negatives. and of course, i may as soon as you get the skewed note, that the great thing about the project to see me is that as a member of the co op and i have big advantages with my electricity bill already as much as a back to emission free mobility, who, if not, a delivery service, could benefit better from price and nature friendly energy. lumber as more khaki spends a supermarket in hockey. he's now converted his once gas guzzling fleet to an old electric one. email us the i'm a member of the co op and i expect the electricity bills to get cheaper for me now, you know, daddy and even in these dire times when energy prices are skyrocketing everywhere,

nobody asked me. the other thing they told me of, to me. 2 in the early hours of the morning, however, a small boat which turns from the open sea, the port of imperial still cruising through the waves with a diesel engine for it is sound, but 2 of us returns after a morning of trolling. he's one of the few fishermen left unhealthy without any. will anyone do? i don't drive an electric car or any at all. i'm also a bit suspicious. of course, i'm a member of the co op. i paid and i did as long ago. but i'm still waiting for my electricity bills to find that they go down. it says grace, don't forget, le mars demetrius broad khaki. the islands only taxi driver has already ordered an electric car. he can't wait to swap his diesel vans for an electric sits right in. the french karmic are also used as healthy as

a stage sports 0 emission mobility strategy. 6 electric vehicles have already been made available to the islands authorities. individuals combined tailpipe emission pre situated models and attractive prices. after all, the island is a test laboratory for the development of electric mobility for the automotive group . it's a standalone environments so you can, it's smart enough to grasp and k to for as part of an experiment. but also because it is a standalone, isolated environment. you can easily try to address each and every needs. and you can demonstrate before secret capability of renewable energy being solar winds and electric transportation. so it's an ideal to set up for an experiment and experiment that is sometimes rather amusing to the coast guard and police. the authorities responsible for security on the island now drive through hockey with

$26.00 kilowatt situated army electric quanto cycle. actually, the 2 vehicles from citron were delivered as company cars. the mayor and his deputies were eventually diverted to create the world's slowest police force escaped to go deep. i thought it would be more practical and much better. p r for us in the coast guard and the police drove these cars just enough to know me. i get the store. so in the mean of course. okay. and the slowest police cars in the world promptly made headlines. but his color voc, east coast us, actually successful in chasing down criminals in a machine that fits at top speed of just 45 kilometers per hour. the pool you might have a, it's not a problem because there aren't any roads here. you can drive really fast on this car, gets the job done. yeah, yeah. unless i live in the in the old town of imperial,

the 2.5 meter long and 1.4 meter wide car really has it's advantages, the much more fun. this car we can get through the narrowest, the streets and alleys where other cars can in both the, all the little army with the beacon lights has long since become a tourist attraction and healthy, the whole bunch of pieces. you know, what is what used to have no police cars at the port. let me come, but it's really important that when tourist arrive, now when they see a police car and immediately feel much safer on the island, the more 9 your somebody shut that off. one of these struck khaki definitely leaves all the threads together to create a new image for how to use an island where sustainability and economic prosperity go hand in hand. of course, marketing is

a vital part of his job description. the only sheet in i'm with the quote that this island ought to become something like a boutique hotel place, with a very personal individual, luxurious character of kindly we want to attract tourists of a slightly higher level of what this is good for the residents. because tourists like that, spend more money here. but the people of hockey also have to make an effort to be able to offer something to these guys because it seems to be going to describe this when they get to the shop. when to publish them in various already a luxurious old hotel and hockey and a new one behind it. just kind of answer. the hotels general manager certainly has no worries about the future. sustainability means you can enjoy your holiday with a clear conscience. they are very easily said to come and stay with us because we have adopted these kind of practices on the island as this runs on. so that's

a point where i say, that's cool. i'd like to support that interest. it's important. i think this is a great, great, great effort to system ability. the trying very, very hard. i would come by all means on the morning. i think how he can become a role model for greece, europe and the whole world to be working here looking at the really only trip this summer to last is a noise more and more large ceiling out or getting in his way. when he's out fishing. dash or weather. so should we become like the neighboring island of macintosh, shaped by commerce and mass tourism? no, i don't want that. i know, but she didn't. i wanted to stay the way it is last with um its customs and traditions ridiculous. if our island becomes like making us, then we've lost the plot crash or whatever. maybe the,

having this done on this island is really good because it shows away where in a smaller community this thing is happening and it's working and there are changes happening. and this is a way to test for bigger community these bigger cities, bigger even like countries. well, sometimes positivity and pass those go hand in hand like on the island of healthy, a beacon and the gmc more sustainable mobility and automotive tales on the next step is owed all 4 of the

2 state plastics. one is non pines. most practical inventions is threatening to suffocate its creation. but there is hope

that we can get a grip on plastic pollution. how? let's have a look of the israel at $75.00. the promised land for jews all over the world. the founding of israel after the holocaust was a dream come true. 75 years later israel is a deeply divided country, socially, politically, and religious. how do people live that you wish stream today? the 90 minutes on d w. the can you hear me now?

we are all set i'm we're watching closely. we all seem to ring of the story behind the news. we all evolved unbiased information, feel free mind. so do 2 and then you're done. the actually cutting manyels in janesville. you belong to the 77 percent comfortable. i just got on 65 last last those top 5 years, one to 115. we are here to help you make up your mind. we are here on please find your mind. so we got all the topics too, from campbell, fixed a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together parts of our community life on

the research is now on top of that. i love it. and that's really i've loved her since the beginning yet because of her character because of her courage and how she thinks. ready this reading suit today for nearly 4 decades, she's thoughts piece of freedom 0 home, then they run in spite of bob buried government reprisals. an income if you look into how nice the 3 dots july 29th on dw, the business data menus. and these are the top stories have been more processed in israel. alas, the parliament approved the bill over hauling the judiciary. thousands of demonstrators blocked.
