the thoughts of ours we say they're about never getting up every weekend on d, w. electric powered classics and photons for say, these all new 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 munich, one of your biggest. and i'm going to show you my top 5 highlight items. so jenny, you know, i'm kind of the wallpaper in 5th place and my ranking of comp moments from the i a know is what i think is one of the most remarkable cause here to trace the world's 1st bullet proof electric car. fine. you 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 think goats on the outside. it looks just like a regular b and w y $73.00 go format suites. in the itc the mail from turns out on the slide, it's only when you look at the tire looked, as you said, you realize that there's something special your core fluid as well. so i'm in june june council. something cool. if i'm you and politics, sions are often accused of asking people to make their lives more environmentally friendly. based on selves drive around and large gas guzzling machines,

the nasal daniel cheese, what, how much it on to one or 2? we got do you see what that can change with this car? and i'll do it the 1st time, fully electric bullet proof car available to german politicians. 20 again, don't go home to do what i thought so. so i took my personal number for a moment from the i a see who is last generation who you guys so you go one vote in the lines of climate change. i have to wrestle to if you 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 by the show you choosing the calling you easy assemble at some point 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 torture on the page from the to do whatever. so highlight of the show for me is that they're almost more stand showcase and bicycles and cars. green mobility has arrived in germany and it's not just the music, so we get to see such bikes, isn't cri, you cannot see on the tool. here, you can see bikes like this channel, then this put down, this isn't true. for germans, the bicycle is an important part of the switch to green mobility you to con valuable for it. so you seem to force it maybe in the future. we won't need cars at least in cities, because we'll have these things. it will meal 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 to you to just so you can use development overrun in 10 months by 30 students from

the university behind 12 in another way. probably, you know, and i'm gonna tell you, it runs forever. and ever since, what becomes of why you mentioned on because it uses the same concept to as lego, things on sales. that's the way it's added to 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 suits in like swapping out illegal block. so 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 homes that you

use it seems legendary combustion engine. cars like the latest portion, 911 here and present it to mark the 60, the anniversary of the iconic sports car were banished to the open space in 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 1952 v w micro bus rules through the streets of vocal time without emitting any pollutants, then still has its original body work, but is powered by an electric motor, classic carfax and race garcia is the commercial manager of f co, a company that for around 7700 euros, convert the old cars to green power city and most of the way we want it to continue enjoying old cars. but given environmental conditions in our quality of life,

it didn't seem responsible to continue down the combustion engine to pass the company to the goal was to the fact that most classics had been well maintained by their owners means their excellent candidates for an electric conversion, which improves their longevity and performance. and the way we really took advantage of the engine mount, the engineering and the cars, geometry so that the cars performance was 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, or 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 power is the car is stored in rechargeable batteries. 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 to start 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. really does have a 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 re charging them now have to do 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 to our boss a country and bo good time or bidding a lot on the energy transition in which the price is going to typically in the case of the commitment is considerable or move today. many of the buses are electric and also operate with low emission engines, which contributes a lot to do, contaminating the air. and i think what all is well,

up or down what you single ask, what the author's 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 into your case as 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 a one car surely isn't going to make as big of an impact as other measures might to the people it goes. but when it's no longer just one call on, but $500.00 or a 1000, i mean, we will certainly have made a positive impact towards the habitability of our cities. i love, we thought we'd be, i just thought vintage vehicles converted to electric. the classic designs of the past with clean energy of the present motoring into the future. cars, cars. from the and i'm with millions of unique stars. that's the

dna. john coffin, we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here, flex fashion is our module and jo stories, our currency. especially for my area. we have found 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 start and we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with this machine. just story to ideas in cods, but it's not the 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 all thing is love. so close to watching. keep

going. well, thank you for the question is now slash next, right to wherever your sentence your stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon on ref, the mercedes for generations. it's been the benchmark for people around the world ripped as around a. ringback with the old and the new world fair to say that and if they're just such a glass of a vehicle that and bodies disappeared at the era in which it was made and with them . and which continues to be a source of inspiration for car designers. manufacturers and busiest theater money and the mercedes benz e class of sleep, which in 3 decades has achieved massive success world wide, especially in the air of the car marketing 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 out if you might have to offer pre help. welcome to mercedes, a german car brand with over 100 years of heritage, the vehicle that there's the 3 pointed stars, the very up hidden me, i've been destructible. and the e class is beloved all around the world. let me know that if we need to make them 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 $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. i'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 mohammed boulder of woodside. i've been driving taxis in tennessee since 1954. when i come sold the up or dropped medina, we took the best and most expensive to ecc. i've ever driven. was the mercedes to 50? yeah, there's a home on malcolm before we go see 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 now in new territory. you know, and in the newest mercedes model, i'm clear that it also means that this very exciting experience is about takes me straight onto the auto bond with 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 fee, the car work smoothly and safely with the tech, giving me precise warning signals and all curves and the streets squeak 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 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, as well as the test driving this car was an all of the landscape. we drove through to landscape where greenery meets technology and clean engineering goes 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 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. but it seems that childhood dream is 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, anyone know 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 to kinetic a. i also remember many trip song cordless vehicle with friends and fellow students from the region where i grew out at the kind of for the feet and specifically trips and the middle class on or the class from mercedes. i didn't enter. yeah. i didn't

move towards the always a minute. sure. and i'm sure millions of people around the world feel the same way i do or say these as a global phenomena. the class alone has sold over 16000000 units since 1947. this makes this model series the most successful mercedes of all time present the guy, minnesota. what's the secret to this monumental success like so folks guides the secret of our successes 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 wants 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, a bridge at some point into the electric world, for example, this plugin hybrid that they say you're lucky enough 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 from fast charging stations using this port on the left side of the in europe or in the arrow 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 he mean not that i shall see how we feel. good. thanks, mercedes. sure. good. thanks. mercedes benz, i have the show grandmother said he is now you know things needed well are whether expert is pretty chatty. lot of metaphysical, mercedes. let me tell you what arabic dialect can you speak? i love the german national team though, 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. thanks the mercedes rear axle steering the low speeds up to 4 and a half degrees warner and at higher speeds or they move up to 2 and a half degrees here. that's the people who haven't tried this out yet 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 if i basically, if i had to describe this car in 3 words or accurately describe my 1st impression of it, i would say it's classic, sporty, and intelligently what vecchio and now for the older generation,

the father of the grandfather and the great grandfather of the class much i don't know 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 of cars from the german carmakers that 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 bro. well, me, us for auto body shop that we have to go through the ottoman obviously in fact it, yeah, there are a few taxi's on the error world that if managed to clock more than 1000000 kilometers, i mean, you can, you imagine, then i can have it will come when i open my help up getting get a horse. there are several model especially that this model is especially important to move those beyond and 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 the and this model now is the latest lock and why city in years of development,

the heritage that culminates in this new 2024 model have that video and audio or some sort of window. now we're going to test drive this powerful model for you, the mercedes, w 124, and the most of them. and if i can, especially if i was a little worried when i've been asked to try my hand at 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, actually on the shoulder. it also looks just like the cars people, my generation are used to be thought without a, i know of not the ged, but it doesn't about to be here. so you got 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 if 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 where you have to 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. it's 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. i loved the dark green color of the w 114, and then doing good 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, that requires a 10th of driving. and at the same time, you can cruise along without having to concentrate too much while living. i mean, i would choose the pontoon and then on and you choose it over the new 2024 model knowing whatever sponsored. fantastic. it's crazy that well you're speaking to the spokes 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 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 models when we, 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 region on the lines are even more complicated. one does not, in a sense, it has a variety of terrain, but as demanding put up in the cost of the current plays a very significant role abilities. and a lot of these models are priced upwards of 55000 literally 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,

how's the world for goes in about the young people in myanmar are risking their lives to fight for democracy against everybody. so military junta, but terrorist do they face and the daily struggles me on mine. this will go send resolution in 15 minutes on the w,

the question of life, the universe and every thing, sir. well then give it here. the answer to almost everything were documentary series with whoever raising the ground to break these questions state after life are we are sitting, saving the questions for the present future and heads filled with the ideas. so get ready for the brain uptake. 40 to the answer to almost everything. this week on d, w,

the change can be viewed as the actual conclusion of the, like the time to change the age of enlightenment. could 300 year old ideas be responsible for today's problem? and could they help us solve them? i believe our futures in our past. the initial tens of the beginning of mcdonough, the series of the great philosophers, to our present and future. the enlightenment says, progresses in our hands and that means so it's really, it's up to the house series project and thoughts on services on dw
