or has this my life from 500 to 600? you currently more people than ever on the worldwide in such a progress in life, you know, is a very difficult journey. and 13 is verify. everything, audio stuff. find out about some on storage info, migrant, reliable news to migrate wherever they may be. from an all electric luxury, s u z. 2 in eco island with a micro grid to charge d. as a crazy d o y hills claim racer in voice mail. hold on for a while right now on read. c the

now not many purely electric, luxurious se, so they're on the market right now. and this is the newest one, the audi q a, eat drawn. but can it be the mercy this inc. us as to be and the like, we will find out right now. welcome to read the entry level audi q a neutron is powered by a 250 kilowatt moto, while the s q a sport back version we tested, gets plenty of grunge from its 370 kilowatt mode. but generally driving impression in the q at age on a is really smooth that, i mean, audi cannot afford to do mistakes in this car because they say is the flagship model. so you have to be smooth, but it's also asked to be quite sporty since that we're driving the s version that also features a lot of power. and you will want to feel that when you're driving and. busy if you wanted to excel or right to really do it and you want to have

a very nice handling and the core features all of this the what i especially like is the fact that it is very silent on the interior. of course, i can only compare it with what i remember, but the q s s u, v was not any more silent, neither was the land rover's range rover. what i do have to admit though, is that the 2 s s u, v and the land rover range rover felt a little more spacious right here and you feel comfortable that it's not like you would myspace. but it could be a little more spacious. the, the sporty aspect of the s q 80, the undeniable, especially if you put the pedal to the metal, it will make the dash from 0 to a 100 kilometers. and now in. busy the in the off seconds, and that feels really good. it can go up to a top speed of 210 kilometers an hour,

which is also quite good for appeal. the electric off the, the exterior design of the q 8, now blends much more harmoniously into the audi model family with a new honeycomb grill. and when it comes to charging ports, convenience is king. right here, the side you will find the charging port. he's simply press the button at full stone electrically, and then you can plug it in foss, charging no problem whatsoever, but for luxurious cause, you need even more. and that's why, on this side, there is another charging parts. you can open it electrically as well, but you have to say this one is not maple foss, charging so it's mainly for your wall books at home. but you can choose the side, and that is a luxurious feature, i think is pretty nice. noon,

of course. what you also need for the maximal feeling of the luxury of these self leveling badges that will stop and horizontal manner, no matter how you stop the car. the comparing the design of the cars, i have to say the roundish falls of the e q. s. s. u v were not exactly appealing to me and the land rover with its flat surfaces. not exactly either, but this car is very nice. i like it. the only thing i would wish for is the black package, because that one is available for all versions and that would mean that what is silver right here. and also the grill will be in a black finish, which would look way more aggressive waste body of the quality inside the s q h cabin remains unchanged without ease, characteristic use of high quality materials. of course,

a lot of controls do work mainly via the touch screen. and the touch pad requires a bit more force to use, but at least this prevents accidental invoice. the car also has a range of up market features you'd expect, including leather upholstery and heated front and rear seats. was a decent amount of food space should you want to do a road trip in the audience also adjusted the version line up. so the q at each one is only available in 3 different versions. the advanced line, which i like the name suggest, is the entry level version, the s line and the one we're driving here. the ask you a to so the sporty version. the thing i don't like at all of these digital mirror because you will look outside, then you will find that small thing. you will look down,

you will find the picture. and the picture also looks different. they want you a used to in the regular mirror, but don't worry these digital side. numerous, i always optional. so even if you get the ask you. busy you will always find the regular mirrors. now let's take a look at what drives the motor of the queue, and let's talk about the battery for a 2nd. there are 2 different versions, 95 kilowatt hours, and that is the small one. and 100. 14 kilowatt hours, but all they did not simply put in big batteries. they also worked on cell chemistry and made the cell. it's 20 percent more dense, so they take less space for the same amount of energy the. those aren't the only changes though. audi also worked on the aerodynamics and what's especially interesting is the on the body because now they put little plates along with all the measures. and that helps direct the flow of air. that way they reduce the drag

coefficient and that helps driving longer distances. the, with all the aspects of that and all the tweak with the new q a. each on coming from its predecessor, they increase the range of the call bye between 32 and 44 percent, which is a huge amount of the in addition to the sport back version, we tested the q 80 tron is also available as a classic s u v with a steeper sloping, we're the we q 8. each one is a very luxury is call in the interior or you can tell that everything is high quality when you drive it is fee, it's really smooth. it's a very nice arrive all in all the s q 80 tron looks better as in some ways more capable than the mercedes into s. s u. v. or land rover range rover. although it

loses out to them in terms of range in space. but when it comes to pricing, it's likely to leave the competition far behind the even by french standards. belyeu is a special vacation destination. and now and laboratory of innovation for going carbon neutral. incorporating the wind sun and the car industry, tourism and individual mobility. here off the coast of brittany and array of forward thinking individuals are experimenting with sustainable energy generation. but the transition is not all smooth sailing. one to a matic visual change could be wind farms effecting the seascape made famous by impression is painter. cloud monee, in 1886 the needles. are i conic? and imagine having those turbines behind you in the sea level. we

are sustainable and don't cause accidents like internal. what does that have to do with quote, who need to go? he's long gone and won't be painting those pictures again or just search products. and their value won't go down just because of a few turbine. so i don't think of 70 send a level to sit down 3 on the is that when we have a magnet in this and you keep the homepage, but our guess is what like it. if there is suddenly wind turbines, in the way, once you put the islands for sustainable ventures into electron mobility actually began 20 years ago. little wonder that french car makers i know, pick the spot to setup a pilot project via it's mobilized subsidiary, a smart energy cycle. was installed in the vacation village, customize to the surroundings. let me quote with this is a micro grids based on 4 pillars. and for us, the solar panels convert the sunlight into electricity. yeah. of the solar energy

is conserved by 2nd plus batteries, discarded units taken from the cars that still have sufficient capacity for stationary storage. often they know who sorta solar energy is most if it's not used in real time. these batteries make it possible to store solar power to be fed into the grid for when it's actually need it to him and do homework in. and now he only, you all know the system also includes prototypes of e cars that can be charged up by directionally really say same with this as a rental. zoe with a modified charge or the suitcase they never seen. you don't have what you understood to naples stored electrical energy needs to be faded back into the grid on demand, and also under them don't the whole value of his o offers on the move on from somebody, but as well. there's also a sophisticated computer program involved. it controls the facilities various

components in a way that ensures maximum efficiency when it comes to the solar energy available for the requirements of the picture, risk vacation village. so you can go to school to something you can set up and make progress like this anywhere, even with major industrial complexes, there are no limits. what we're doing here on value can be replicated at various places around the city. if you see those, you know, doesn't get the micro grants are sound solution for an island covered. and cultural heritage says there's up on the he probably points out some of bells, best known landmarks. the subject of several books written by the local historian is it gives you the needle rocks of paul control formed by the sea. in the 6 weeks clothing money spent on bill you. he painted around 40 pictures and all $39.00 to be precise. just get up, i see how the, the new goals i'll say no to the big lighthouse is our mountain bought it. it's 70

meters tall. so which is enough? the see the turbines are 184200 meters tall. no, we don't want that. all sounds on all the stuff, but most islanders do accept a micro period like right now is local business man deal to me is among those impressed with the benefits ceiling. so it sounds like it's an interesting project also because it raises awareness of a question. we should all be asking ourselves. uh, where does my energy come from? now she gives me, is the spokesman of a movement whose adherents are convinced that reducing energy consumption is the most sustainable option out there. most of the cars in his rental fleet color of course electric. but he sees far more scope for change.

which way we don't protect the planet by driving because we need to restrict our consumption. but there's nothing, especially our energy consumption to tackle so many, some put in we can say in the future, i'll replace the fossil or nuclear energy i've used by consuming the equivalent and sustainable energy is to do the analysis. and when you say that doesn't work, have you ever audited c panel is through the notes here? do we need to increase the portion of renewables for why? at the same time cutting consumption, the amount that i found on the no show and what i'm doing great, you have 2nd semester or it's an approach that the mayor of the islands biggest community lapel link agrees with thanks to him. the police are now awesome. going electric, most of the vehicles used by the local authorities have to replace with the varieties to correspond to it's a better fit for our imaging the best and that usually the kind that doesn't have

to be produced in for default, our efforts are focused on saving energy wherever we can't, if it could be anything else that the mayor previously had the island clinics lead to vehicles turn to electric to they insure at home care for the $5000.00 residents across and 87 square kilometer area. but that's all old news for the director of the hospital. they don't mass, that video has always been a laboratory for all kinds of innovations to the islands characteristics. mean we have to be a step ahead on that. also, we're already making substantial use of drones for transferring blood supplies. for example, i see with see i'm to perfect that and we don't use environmentally harmful ship transportation details failed to, to focus on the, the tourist sector. now also feature sustainable options. instead of taking the big energy guzzling diesel, ferries, visitors have the alternative of soft transportation on sale boats

the oven valley. the before we talk about bio gaz, we're focusing on an energy that's free and is available 70 or 80 percent of the time we finish putting you. we have to reduce our consumption, especially in transportation, was wondering. this is who we can do that simply by using sale power as involved and see only what journalists still then the nose is also committed to the site to lower energy consumption. she only drives an e car when she had is heavy cargo to get from a to be for her saving. energy is a way of life fit. the keyboard is shown to the it's a cultural revolution. consuming more learning to consume less with thoughts, having a poor quality of life very warm. yeah. so the concept that will be indispensable

in the future. i'm so do you mind useful sub there are also some highly imaginative ways of saving energy on barrels. the artist that this workshop create and listening skills to his office and from raw materials that the owner is no longer wanted. like i collect all kinds of scrap and trash and use my imagination to turn what i find to do something new from the law. unfortunately not uh, not to imagine. now going on here. one more. i do might be to the environment by recycling waste. normally it's extremely costly on w, contain, which will be the waste is put in containers. taken by boat to the mainland and disposed of milk and we create a different cycle which the islands trash is recycled. and we appreciate the opportunity to hold into a way you can use us from the island has a range of different initiatives fighting for sustainability in their own way. what they all agree on is the most harmful factor for the island best. and that there

was sold to me to having limited resources means we have to be particularly careful with tourism when it comes to lowering consumption up to is there's far too much energy being used during the summer to specify move to the next semester. so me, i see on the take on send me to is what do i need to assess and it's a hill here in the summer, all the cars and all the people coming to the island and stuff it hold the ship where you have to be the farmers and fishermen used to be the backbone, is the economy. he pays only the picture of the plan. everything was turned on its head to the bottom of the vehicle and now tourism is dictating things. this is it only because what that's wrong then also the 2, everything's gotten too expensive. let's go to the appreciate the we like assume that the mass as of tourist to arrive and the peak vacation period are huge strain and our

resources to wait on the 20. this is also we're thinking of extending the seasons so that the stream of tourist isn't concentrated on july and august. and this is where this i know project could prove invaluable. the resulting dramatic drop in energy cost means that loss beans can now afford to feed her bungalows after the summer. porchie, this is on said we're going to extend our receives and when they say devoss, whom, but this year will be closing on september 18th, next year. we'll try to stay open a lot longer and the pre tact that's good, so tiny, say to, you know, since you all set with the system now up and running. we've seen our energy bill cut in half of the year of last season on the in the another sign of progress. you can already tour the islands many sites of cultural interest with the help of the solar power source from the microgrids. here where history and old traditions meet modern developments, there are creative ideas galore for ensuring

a sustainable future the a sound, but it is a legendary legacy of clothing on a and the needle rocks of pork atone system. and of course that history is used for tourist anything, but the main attraction of value is an island you'd be coming and exciting pilot project link to we've got it all here. so when the sun, yvonne is sorta an employee, i went to the board about 12, it could become a lovely laboratory to skate a kind of experimental avant garde for energy generation. on 1000000000 point you've shown danielle jane austin, i'm sure you're on the shoals as it hands towards a new age of energy use the aptly named belly, little, or beautiful island. both to remarkably diverse approach, which with visionary ideas and not short on controversy. but where would we be energy wise, if we didn't have the occasional bit of friction, of the sustainable variety. of course

will racing driver with a preference 1st, hilly terrain, time to get an up close and personal lives? got his yes. are you ready? the, the just think, lee, bump you right for our interested report sir, is the result of some of meticulous work. we visit veteran that is workshop in twos let in northeastern falls. now the, the car mechanic spent 3 years tinkering away on his pride and joy. it's like a child to make a family member drop. the veteran has plenty of other cars to work on, but his true passion on calling is for

d. w based racing cars. his jetta is above me and talking about kids with all manner of extra features. it comes with 4 injectors for the exhaust is 4 into one and these are racing camshaft the got you. okay, so the also on board as a fire extinguishing system safety 1st be specially and motor sports. the if there's a fire, it activates and puts out the flames. well, there are also 4 more nozzles inside the car, alongside the electrical system. and that's the safety system. veterans love of best cars began when he was just allowed. his father was a successful racing driver. and what was then? you just love us, but his undying love for vw came a bite because of

a different model. so when he, when i've loved the gulf, mark one since i was a kid, friend of mine had one guy done the so that's when the loved again, me. so i like to design you and us and we lose you. i decided that when i grew up, i buy myself a gulf mark one and make my own racing car and they can enter this day. it's remains the same as rush through raptor style and this jetta has great visibility. the building kind of plus it has the features that make it easy to turn into a race car veteran bought his prize jetta in sarajevo and hasn't looked back since his only regret is this for lack of development in recent years. i mean, it's not that big of seen, but we do have the occasional meet right to you. and i talked to gina. so the situation with sponsors isn't great. the problem is the problem is

a decreasing interest in racing. most of the g, it's popularity is limited to be. our people prefer watching soccer or basketball. we're not associated with the average foot. my question was about the need for a speed test drive type, which means taking veterans jetta back out onto the track on an old air field. the newly made the system more upfront, the top driving conditions as ever as the sun goes down the the most racist we do the start isn't that important that you know, as it's mostly

a pill, it 1st escaped comanche so that you know, that you sort of start is really good. not too intense. it'd be a bit, you know, a week or 2 to be put on the straits. you make up the time you last at the start lobby. oh yeah. so it's not that crucial release is going to lead me in a very slow season. as for the jetta performance, the the car is what it is. the track is terrible. the surfaces no good. but we've been able to do a few labs to show you the car and that magic feeling. ultimately the jack defies the terrain to deliver the magic. and veteran is proud of his sip top the little razor. i'll pull it up, it's a great car produced out of love and that's what matters. so you do that is i chose

the jet or the because we couldn't find a better basis than the gulf mark. one. see, i looked at just the glad to have our super jetta, which we've really grown to love just to stay true for automotive love stories and more on the next episode of the pond, kick off the

eco africa, you can look at and be sustainable. we are trying to construct a ideal for ways to the means when he comes to the test when he comes to fashion. our design is just our, to our tools, to engage everything,

to match the message from the younger man. designers, eco, africa, 13 on dw waters scarcity. it is also becoming a problem in germany. news sources are needed to secure a water supply we need to find them for their communities and businesses out depending on engineers and other experience. the quest for new sources 70. the issues with a lot say, well crazy the

since it's creation in 1961, great funded and supporting people on a daily basis in more than a 100 countries, financing projects in various sectors ranging from infrastructure to health and communication. these institutions name to contribute their allocation of quality and the promotion of sustainable develop the,

the, the, this is the, the, the news coming to live for live airstrikes and ukraine and moscow. the russian capital is targeted again by drones with one hitting the same high rise that was struck 2 days ago. russia carries of missile strikes on civilian targets in ukraine, including presence of landscape hometown also coming up.
