it will then progress as tough calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. the 2nd son of about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w cuts cost to electric powered classics info task for say these on u e class right now on read the, the i, a and munich is being shaped more and more by china, which is exactly why we send a reporter from our chinese service to give you

a special perspective on a live over here at the international motor show in unit one of your biggest. and i'm going to show you my top 5 highlight on the search any, you know, i'm kind of the wallpaper in 5th place and my ranking of comp moments from the i a now is what i think kites is one of the most remarkable cars here. so trace the world's 1st now bullet proof electric car finally sense you to see sort of phone done to, you know, treat this car has one of the highest levels of safety possible. even the 3 go to the phone on the outside. it looks just like a regular b and w y $73.00 go format. so using the i to see the familiar with them. try it out on the side. it's only when you look at the tire looked. as you said, you realize that there's something special your portfolio as well. so i'm in june june council tone cool. if i'm youngstown, the patients are often accused of asking people to make their lives more environmentally friendly in some quotes, which quantities on selves drive around and large gas guzzling machines,

the nasal daniel cheese, what, how much it on to one or 2? we got to be engaged with that can change with this car and i'll give you the 1st time fully electric bullet proof car available to german politicians. 20 again, don't go home to do what i bought so. so i took my personal number for a moment from the i a see who is last generation to who you guys. so you go one vote in the lines of climate change. i have to wrestle. so if that have been causing quite a stir around the world, i, you know, being excited since what's his youtube tv in order to prove that the i a is open to criticism. the organizers invited the group to have a stand at the show company. but the group decided not to protest here. they didn't want to be cooperative. find the show, the choosing, the calling you is the symbol. so when is that more they chose to protest in other places in the looking stage, or don't. incidentally, in germany it's the muted police who have taken the harshest action against the

last generation of what it would seem so sure when you have agent from the federal. what of course i'll highlight of the show for me is that they're almost more stand showcase and bicycles and cars. your green mobility has arrived in germany and it's not just the music system where you get to see such bikes, isn't cri, you cannot see on the true. here, you can see bikes like this channel, then this puts and this isn't true. for germans, the bicycle is an important part of the switch to green mobility you to contact you both. and so you seem to get yourself a lot, maybe in the future. we don't need cars, at least in cities because we'll have these things that we'll down to the. so that's our show, whole kind of, you know, the car you see behind me is the 2nd biggest surprise at the show. are you see that you talk to so you can use development over around 10 months by 30 students from

the university behind 12 in another way. probably, you know, and i'm gonna tell you, runs forever and ever since, what becomes of why you mentioned on because it uses the same concept to as lego, things on sales such sweet that it for all the parts that you can see on the outside and don't like the green body panels can be replaced with new ones as time goes by that susie and like swapping out a lego block, right, i'm gonna assume this means the car can be refreshed repeatedly, which is why they say it's a car that can be driven forever. right, how you base the j one as well. the most remarkable thing for me is that there were no combustion engine. cars within the i a sufficient area time in it, just an electric cars design jolts even to go into the i a has received a lot of criticism in the past, especially from environmental groups, which is why this year only electric cars were permitted in the home yeah, yeah,

you said you legendary combustion engine cars like the latest portion, $911.00 here and present it to mark the 60, the anniversary of the iconic sports car were banished to the open space and downtown unit. the i a, is transforming into a more environmentally friendly mobility show where a spawning a gas guzzler has become quite rare. the, this 1950 to v w microbe us rules through the streets of global time without emitting any pollutants. then still has its original body work, but is powered by an electric motor. classic car fan and face garcia is the commercial manager of f co. a company that for around $7700.00 euros converts old cars to green power city almost the way that we want it to continue enjoying old cars. but given environmental conditions in our quality of life,

it didn't seem responsible to continue the combustion engine to pass the company to the goal was still the fact that most classics have been well maintained by their owners means their excellent candidates for an electric conversion, which improves their longevity and performance and the products that we really took advantage of the engine, ma'am. the engineering and the cars geometry, so that the cars performance is the same as it was with the combustion engine. i look at the main challenge is adapting the existing structure. well, also guaranteeing that the new mechanism for work, but daniel, the mechanical engineer in charge of the design, is sure that this method can convert any classic into an electric vehicle. guys where the every vehicle comes with a set of challenges. you're going to see that in general, it's possible to adapt any type of vehicle we try to optimize power delivery and we

try to improve the vehicles functioning without effecting its esthetics or originality. i've seen, i think the loading i meant the new tech integrated into the original vehicle provide the user with all the comforts of driving a modern vehicle. what's more, the electric energy that powers the car is stored in rechargeable batteries. that's about the desk you put improves how many batteries we use, for example, have 3600 cycles. it is here. and what does that mean? if a car like this has a range of 200 kilometers on a single charge, that means we will have a useful battery life of about 700000 kilometers anymore chosen that equals around 12 to 15 years of battery life. i don't know what the the electric motor ensures there are no tail pipe emissions and hardly any noise to pluses for a city that suffers from the worst traffic jams in latin america. while the number of registered electric and hybrids vehicles in columbia has been on the rise in

recent years, the country is still far away from fully transitioning to e mobility. now that doesn't get that great limitation is the countries infrastructure. and yes, in that sense, it could become a more globalized industry or become more comfortable for the people who are going to buy the final product on one of the things. that's an opinion shared by oman, oral sticky, or the day, especially with private vehicles. not all buildings or houses have the infrastructure to allow recharging something either to the city side. yeah. and the concerns about re charging these electric vehicles is making the transition process even slower. okay. and photos, hey, if i brought this young the out of the country and bo good time or bidding a lot on the energy transition, which will end up. but i think you're in a typical, in the case of the commitment is considerable. or today, many of the buses are electric and also operate with low emission engines, which contributes a lot to d contaminating the air. and i think what else is pull up on what you see more or

less what the authors structural aspects also slow down, easy adoption. they're only about 40 charging points for the city of about 8000000 people. but i'm place has a more optimistic vision, a good idea you cases well for them. i think this is a way of demonstrating. we can also work hand in hand with governments within the photo. so what i mean, we've got one car shortly isn't going to make as big of an impact as other measures might cause us. but when it's no longer just one car, but $500.00 or a 1000, i mean, we will certainly have made a positive impact towards the habitability of our cities. i love you. tell me the i just left you a vintage vehicles converted to electric. the classic designs of the past with clean energy of the present motoring into the future. cars, cars, a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories that could be in

a german coffins. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flicked passionate is our module and your stories, our currency, somebody. oh yeah. we have fun cars from germany and the craziest place all across to this one here is, is all dictated from albania, that officially, that breakfast grad once you're sorry. and we try to figure out why we feel such a strong motional only with these machines, your story to ideas and costs by itself and millions and millions of use that. com . and most of all the fact that makes us better. this video make me add all my buckets. yep. that's to love that.

so cool to watch. keep going. well, thank you for the question is now flash. if we go next right to wherever you all sent us, your stories and your crazy car into the is let's catch up soon on rest. the mercedes for generations. it's been the benchmark for people around the world ripped as a rendezvous with the 8 and the new world fair to say that and if they're just such a glass of a vehicle that in bodies disappeared of the era in which it was made and which continues to be a source of inspiration for car designers, manufacturers and, and losing us the money and the mercedes benz e class of sleep, which in $3.00 decades it has a cheap mass of success worldwide, especially in the air of the car market. and not, i mean,

what's the secret to this success not to be from a civil war that nothing to do on the field today, we're in vienna to experience one of the latest and most powerful models in this category. and we're taking the e 400 e for matic for a test drive and trying to see how good the car is about 15 minutes or for your help. welcome us, mercedes, a german car brand with over 100 years of heritage, the vehicle that there's the 3 pointed stars, the various hidden may have been destructible. and the e class is beloved all around the world. let me know the form that you're looking to see which of us doesn't know the famed mercedes. 3 pointed star can be the very same star that finds itself on the grill of this especial car, the. and there's the e $400.00 informatics with the the star is the symbol of strength of longevity. be also a symbol of trust in the car itself to keep them even after countless kilometers. and it's especially loved in the arab world. we've got yeah,

this is my treasure for the engine is very old. i have definitely at least 40 years old the today that was the credit runs my name is mark, it's barbara of woodside. me. i've been driving taxis in tennessee since 1954. when i come sold the up or dropped. medina, the more weight that the best and most expensive taxi i've ever driven was the mercedes to 50. yeah, there's a homes on malcolm before the okay. if i'm entirely honest, i've never driven a mercedes before. i mean, it's exciting that my 1st experience driving one is in a new country and in new territory, you know, and then the newest mercedes model. i then clear that it also means that this very exciting experience is about takes me straight onto the auto bottom of the city on the

pool, about the, including the adapter, driving on the autobahn from vienna. and here we enter the country side of the feed, the car work smoothly and safely on the with the tech, giving me precise warning signals and all curves and the streets quitting difficult, no matter how narrow they may be, what i show it, i'm kind of familiar as i said, we're in vienna at around lake noisy and it's summer, mid summer and we had a very, very hot test day, almost air of conditions. maybe we shouldn't have switched off the air conditioning favor of engine noise. because the ac actually works really well. a lot of the sweat pouring off my forehead is probably clearly visible in this picture, but it's always about feeling reports. we're at the mercy of the camera and he had a buddy of the so let's venture across

a near unchartered territory to get a better idea of this e class hybrid the. and of course, let's have fun driving the miles of corn field surrounded by monstrous windmills. the kind of notice that the, there's royal test driving this car was in on the landscape. we drove through to landscape where greenery meets technology and clean engineering click on something that's reflected in the car itself, which also produces clean energy and consumes it in a bit to be more environmentally friendly mobile. now this plug in hybrid mercedes achieves a range of around 100 kilometers with its electric motor without having to switch to its 2 liter combustion engine. but more of that later and then was the fear, the fear that it was sitting in this car for the 1st time brought back memories of

my early childhood and youth case. i knew that how my friends and i would invite to sit next to the driver as if it was some sort of honor or privilege thinking of doing that. but it seems that childhood dreams coming true and i'll be at a bit late. but even at this time, i'm right behind the wheel at this very luxurious cargo alpha, the. here's the money we have. this car hasn't woken many memories and especially memories of my childhood memories of my grandfather of when he would take me on trips as a small child, well visiting his friends of the car. and it's gonna be up until the tax season to commute and they were off in the same category of cars. because then i also remember many trips on board most vehicle with friends and fellow students from the region where i grew out at the kind of for the feet and specifically trips in the middle class on or the class from mercedes. that is an enter. yeah. a little more

towards the about always a minute. sure. and i'm sure millions of people around the world feel the same way i do. mercedes is a global phenomena. the class alone has sold over 16000000 unit since 1947. this makes this model serious. the most successful, mercedes of all time present to guy minnesota. what's the secret to this monumental success? like for folks, guidance, the secret of our success is that we have reinvented ourselves again and again with which we cover a large number of different customers, whether they want something sporty or elegant, or modern. define what they want in the class, you know fit. how does mercedes want to position itself in the arrow market as a sustainable brand? as a luxury oriented brand or a manufacturer of strong engines, it's cut out in 2023. will have a car on the market that will have everything up in from a 4 cylinder. petro and diesel is, and

a $600.00 or petro and diesel. we will also have hybrid plugins. and i also think maybe it could be something for the air of region for a bridge at some point into the electric world. for example, the price of this plugin hybrids that they figured only thing us to put on this car that i'm driving today can be charged for being a matter of course, that can be re fueled with the regular fuel. on the right hand side, look forward to that it can also be charged with electricity. but in the fast charging stations, using this port on the left side of the in europe or in the air, a bridge or in areas where there are no fast charging stations, not collecting this household adapter, can also be used to charge the car at home trying to see a few minutes and of course digital communication is also important. the mercedes benz user interface is intuitive, but sometimes overwhelming with every conceivable app on it and $27.00 languages on offer. let alone mercedes. yes, please. what's the temperature outside holidays?

right now it's sunny with a temperature of $28.00 degrees celsius. why should you mean that? i shall see how we feel. good. thanks. most a is a week. yeah, sure. good. thanks, mercedes very. the show grandmother said, is that the, you know, things needed well are whether expert is pretty chatty. not have another feeling, mercedes. let me tell you what arabic dialect can you speak? i love the german national team, the even though i used to sports well, we can get that up and clearly there's room for improvement. but what's the navigation system like up are away as jerusalem mercedes or to show the guidance is not yet activated. the young shock, thanks. mercedes spends,

that's just normal bobby, i will. okay. then at least it was fun to try it out naturally. we don't really want to drive all the way to jerusalem. instead, we want to really go deeper into the 4 hundreds driving dynamics and put its quality in check under the microscope in the water. as you mean, it was great is that the rear wheels also turn along with the front wheels to thanks the mercedes rear axle steering for the low speeds, up to 4 and a half degrees for the foot and it higher speeds or they move up to 2 and a half degrees. that's the people who haven't tried this out yet. it will be very impressed with the system. as was the case with me. agility and comfort, the rear axle steering is a merc, trademark, and kennedy, and also financially. if i had to describe this car in 3 words or accurately describe my 1st impression of it, i would say it's classy, it's 40 and intelligently what vecchio and now for the older generation,

the father of the grandfather and the great grandfather of the class, the shuttle for the appointment of christine, perhaps closer to having it for old car lovers and procures must have been yeah, ma as 170 market. the beginning of the production of the class. the cars from the german carmakers, the battlefield. there are other cars and like this model been that have had great success around the world. i think i have the vision, but there's another model there's, it has to be the opposite. this 11 for like, sold in record numbers in the arrow, but well, me, us for auto body shop that we have to go through the ottoman obviously, in fact, you see there are a few taxi's on the air, a world that if managed to clock more than 1000000 kilometers and mean you can, you imagine and hope it will come when i open my help up getting get a horse. there are several model exposure to them, but this model is especially important to move those beyond. i'll put some, it was with this model in the year 1993 that mercedes officially use the class name . that's me. i don't know me yet. i'm an aunt from ox. heather. and this model now

is the latest lock and why city years of development? the heritage that culminates in this new 2024 model have that video and audio or something sort of going to now we're going to test drive this powerful model for you, the mercedes, w 124, and the 4 of them. and if i can, especially if i was a little worried when i've been asked to try my hand to driving old machines, especially those without automatic transmission. and i'll click on the initial aspect, but this car box, so w 124 deals and wonderful to drive. you mean it looks simply beautiful. i showing i showed it also looks just like the cars people, my generation are used to let the dog without a ha, i know the ged, but it doesn't about to be here. so you're on after just a few minutes behind the wheel, and i have to say that for a machine bill 30 years ago and it drives exactly like

a modern car. you look about. so it's fair to say that it's ahead of its time would be a little close. it's for this reason that i believe the chief high levels of success around the world, including an error countries. and there's just give you how to a lot of them been doing it on the island since driving the classic is so much fun . i find myself asking whether the newer models also have what it takes to some day become classics. is spinning. but i am convinced that it will continue to be successful in the future and also that there will be classic vehicles in the future . but i think that the know how that is needed will change this. know how it has been new distribute, and then you need fewer people who are familiar with the sheet metal work. how far you need someone who is familiar with software to be able to continue driving this vehicle as a class. and then the bottom. um, especially if you had a choice between all of these cars that we see here here, or the class,

that's it. and what would be your pick evenings, although they sleep, i live in saint cloud. i love all of our classics, and i would say i loved each of them for different reasons and i loved the rottenness of this car, and i loved the elegance of the tale fans, and i love the dark green color of the w 114, and then doing clean window, but then if i were to drive one, i would say the pontoon told by that because it's like a mixture of a classic vintage car with the steering mount, a gear shift, obviously a big move, for example, the requires the types of driving and at the same time, you can cruise along without having to concentrate too much. well any, i mean i would choose the pontoon and then on and you choose it over the new 2024 model knowing whatever sponsored, fantastic explains, you know, well you're speaking to this folks in person for mercedes benz classic. so i will always choose the classic vehicle because i have an affinity to them. but i have also driven the new e class and i have to say it is an impressive vehicle, but my heart beats for the classroom mind,

it helps like for the classic the just and then just ask for the reason for the success of the how well the to meet the answer is clear. when i look at their pioneering mentality in the, your site that prevail, that mercedes back in the day that the kind of tell you that the final, i'm as wonder whether this success story can continue as well. and kind of, it's hard for me to say so that was because mercedes has begun to focus on elements of the luxury and luxury model. this one which i believe cater to a specific group of people any but a look and see how they got those. let them know we'll have it on, on those sort of kind of a homo what we did at a study. and then also when we think of the rape and regional, the lines are even more complicated. one does not, since it has a variety of terrain, but just demanding in the cost of the current plays a very significant role abilities. and a lot of these models are priced upwards of 55000 barrel lob the old and more human

. a going to have been with that before the 15th of july and medicaid, the sustainable mobility and more next time on rev the

we need to call our goals and facebook and it's about to join women leaders from over africa promoting gender equality by just being themselves playing for something extra or do you know that we do is i menda limited field. she's actually a voice for women in the sounding like if we have a life, me why we ask people know, await the 77 percent in 30 minutes. w
