day and 60 minutes on d, w 4, we say they're never giving up every weekend on dw, the electric powered classics info task for say, these all new e class right now on rad 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. 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 what? i'm kind of the wallpaper in 5th place and my ranking of cop moments from the i a is what i think 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 fundamental, you know, treat, this car has one of the highest levels of safety possible. and that's the goal to be on the outside. it looks just like a regular b and w y $73.00 go format. so you seen the i to see the familiar with them. try it out on the slide. it's only when you look at the tire looked. as you said, you realize that there's something special here or fluid as well. so what means? oh to tom, so don't cool you find me and politic. sions are often accused of asking people to

make their lives more environmentally friendly. in some quotes, that's why people selves drive around in large gas guzzling machine thought. a nasal daniel cheese, what, how much it, how much one or 2 wait guy, do you see what that can change with this car? and i'll do it. so what's the 1st, i'm 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 4 moments from the i a see who is last generations or who you guys. so you go one vote in the lines of climate change after so. so a few that have been causing quite a stir around the world. i, you know, be electronics inputs as 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 easy assemble at some point is that they chose to protest in other places in munich instead or don't. incidentally in germany it's the muted police

who have taken the harshest action against the last generation. so sure on your page from the general, whatever. so highlight of the show for me is that there are almost more stands showcase and bicycles and cars. green mobility has arrived in germany and it's not just the mean exception where you get to see such bikes, isn't cri, you cannot see on the true. here, you can see bikes like this. then this puts a on, this isn't true. for germans, the bicycle is an important part of the switch to green mobility. you can 5 people for it, 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 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. as far as

obviously that's useful to us and you can use the villas on over round 10 months by 30 students from the university of ein to open in the you know, okay, it runs forever. i never seem to visions of why you mentioned on because it uses the same concept to as lego, based on sales. let's say it's out of all the parts that you can see on the outside on don't like the green body panels can be replaced with new ones as time goes by that susie and like swapping auto lego block, right. 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 paid the day when i was, the most remarkable thing for me is that there were no combustion engine. cars within the execution area. i mean it just electric cars design your cheapest way 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 to legendary combustion engine cars like the latest portion, 911 here, presented to mark the 60 then a verse through 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 the 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 euros converts old cars to green power to yeah,

most the way that we want to to continue enjoying old cars. but given environmental conditions and our quality of life, it didn't seem responsible to continue the combustion engine to pass the company through the goal was still the fact that most classics had been well maintained by their owners means their excellent candidates for an electric conversion which improve their longevity and performance and the way we really took advantage of the engine mountains, the engineering and the cars, geometry, so that the cars performance is the same as it was, but the combustion engine was looking 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 already to pay to 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 providing 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. that's about the desk. you put improves how many batteries we use. for example, have 3600 cycles. it is here. 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 very close around 12 to 15 years of battery life. i don't know what that is. the electric motor ensures there are no tail pipe emissions and hardly any noise to classes for a city that stuff or spend 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. really does have a great limitation is the country's 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. went up to that's an opinion shared by oman, oral sticky oil the day, especially with private vehicles, not a whole 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 for san francisco to our boss, a country and bo, good time or bidding a lot on the energy transition. and what's the 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 de contaminating the air. and i think what all is well for them, what you see more or less could be nothing tonight. other structural aspects also slow down, easy adoption. they're only about 40 charging points for city of about 8000000 people. but i'm place has a more optimistic vision. video case as well for them. i think this is a way of demonstrating we can also work hand in hand with governments within the photos. and what i mean, we've got one car surely isn't going to make us big of an impact as other measures might to the people it goes 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, global phenomenon, with millions of unique stories. that could be in a german coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flick, passion is our motto. and your stories, our currency. 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 never exist. grad once, just sorry. and we try to figure out why we feel such a strong motional only with these machines just 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 your sentence your stories and your crazy card tuesday is. let's catch up soon. sunroof the mercedes for generations. it's been the benchmark for people around the world ripped as around a 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 at the era in which it was made and which continues to be a source of inspiration for car designers, manufacturers and, and losing. so you'd have to have money and the mercedes benz e class of sleep the in 3 decades. it has a cheap mass of success worldwide,

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 4 medic for a test drive and trying to see how good the car is like 15 minutes off with 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 that if we need to make them to see which of us doesn't know the vein to 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 that a lot of it is right. that credit runs. my name is mohammed bobo woods. i mean, i've been driving taxis in tennessee since 1954 when i come sold the up or drop 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 now 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 body of the city of

the pool, about the inclin adapter, driving on the autobahn from vienna. and here we enter the country side of the seen, 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 about feeling reports. we're at the mercy of the camera, and he had

a buddy of the so let's venture across a mere uncharted 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 know that the, there's an oil test driving this car was an 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 it a sphere?

the ceiling that 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 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 off until the tax season to commute and they were off in the same category of cars. because then i also remember many trips on or those 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 e class. mercedes that is an enter. yeah, i didn't move 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 units since 1947. this makes this model series the most successful mercedes of all time as indigo home disorder. 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 and the error market as a sustainable brand, as a luxury oriented brand or a manufacturer of strong engines, it's cut out in $22.00. the 3 will have

a car on the market that will have everything up information for some of the petro and diesel is, and a 600 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 the so 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. and 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 alone. mercedes?

yes please. what's the temperature outside cottage? 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, chrysler said, is that the, you know, things needed well, or whether expert is pretty chatty. not have another phase, little 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? no far away as jerusalem mercedes or to show the guidance is not yet activated. the

young shock, thanks. mercedes spends that's just normal lobby. i will . okay. then at least that 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 and the tech 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 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 here. that's the people who haven't tried this out yet. who 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 current 3 words or accurately describe my 1st impression of it, i would say it's classic sporty and intelligence, the what vecchio. and now for the older generation,

the father of the grandfather and the great grandfather of the class, much i don't for the appointment of christine, perhaps closer to having it for old car lovers and procures must have been you know, there's 170 mark at the beginning of the production of the class cars from the german, karmic or 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 just 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 and have little come when i bought 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, me get and 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 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, actually on the shoulder. it also looks just like the cars people, my generation are used to let the dog without a, i know the ged, but it doesn't about to be here. so you got an after just

a few minutes behind the wheel. and i have to say that for a machine, billable 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 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. 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 sheet metal work outside. 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 because 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 a 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 screens. you know, 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 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 funny i, i 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 the luxury model is going be 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 all on those sort of combo. what we did at a study and then also when we think of the rape and regional and the more things are even more complicated, one does not, since it has a variety of terrain, but just demanding. and 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 the look the before the 15th of july and medicaid, the sustainable mobility and more. next time on rev the

can a, i help us live healthy or longer. agent can be delayed in aging in certain ways can be stopped in reverse polls. but aging research is tough, finding that single effective molecule in a haystack of millions upon millions a i is accelerating that search many times over its own revolution. tomorrow. today,

in the see minutes on the w, a meeting still without putting concrete on a c o 2 diet and producing aluminum with eco energy. industrial scale, climate ascenders have a green and peasant e. is it a sustainable fairy tale? or a reality can steal cement in co gogreen close in 90 minutes on d w, the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in that's look at

current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is not just another new. so weekdays on d, w dw, still on pick stocks. we in fact every day, the world caution. i want to work, feel free to come over. well, we can take the different w calling world, unpack pulse of your info is and all the input your w story now on to the offline rivers created by a voice, a full crying voice of how's it goes into the b trees. switching nose up to $1000.00 leases of low. so in the day i'm,

the forest fires evaporating large amounts of moist tune in to get the onset and learn more about the heavy and visible over the flows through the sky. start september 20th on the w. the, this is dw news, and these are our top stories. 5 us a rainy and citizens gale for years and around are now on their way back to the us as part of a prisoner swaps. the agreement gives to her on access to $6000000000.00, an oil revenues frozen under us sanctions. 5 it radians and put in prison in the us are also being freed. as part of this one,

china has summoned germany's and bassett or in beijing after.
