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 dw, the electric powered classics in volvo, task force, 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 on the line over here at the international motor show and unit one of your biggest. and i'm going to show you my top 5 highlight the so jenny, you know what i'm kind of those are what part in 5th place in my ranking of top 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 got to treat this car has one of the highest levels of safety possible. and that's the golgi via phone. on the outside, it looks just like a regular bmw y 7 pre good format. so using the itc the mail from 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 you know or fluid as well. so i'm in june june council, something cool. you phone me and politics. sions are often accused of asking people to make their lives more environmentally friendly. in some quotes. let's all these

on selves drive around and large gas guzzling machine bother nasal. daniel cheese, what? how much it i'm trying to wait. okay, do you see what that can change with this car? so what's the 1st time fully electric bullet proof car available to german politicians? 20 again, don't want him to do what i thought so. so i a took my personal number for a moment from the i a see who is last generation to who you guys. so you got one ball come in the lines of climate change activity. so. so if you 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 calling. but the group decided not to protest here. they didn't want to be cooperative by the show, the choosing, coming to call you using symbol don't want is that more they chose to protest in other places in munich, instead of incidentally in germany, it's the muted police who have taken the harshest action against last generation of

what it would seem so sure on your page from the to do what i've also highlighted 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 mean except that we get to see such bikes as and cri you cannot see on the true here, you can see bikes like this channel and then this put down, this isn't true for germans, the bicycle is an important part of the switch to green mobility and valuable for it. so you can go to some issues that they like maybe in the future. we won't need cars at least in cities because we'll have these things and 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. our doctors see that you for sure. so you can use development overrun on 10 months by 30 students

from the university of ein to open. another model you now nicole kaya runs forever . i never seem to visions of why you mentioned on because it uses the same concept to as lego things on cells. hopefully it's out of the 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. it's susie and like swapping out a 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 face the 3? what i, what the most remarkable thing for me is that there were no combustion engine. cars within the i a sufficient area, timing, they just and electric cars design gold. see this room to go into the i a has received a lot of criticism in the past, which is especially from environmental groups, which is why this year only electric cars were permitted in the home. yeah. yeah.

is it to legendary combustion engine? cars like the latest, of course you $911.00, you 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 rolls 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 carfax and race garcia is the commercial manager of f co, a company that for around 7700 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 down your combustion engine to pass the company to the goal was to the fact that most classics have been well maintained by their owners means they're excellent candidates for an electric conversion, which improves their longevity and performance. and the way 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, 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 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. does, but the desk you put into is 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 very close 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 and

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 on one of the things. that's an opinion shared by oman, oral sticky, or 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 photos. since i bought this young fellow bought the country and bought 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 today, many of the buses are electric and also operate with low emission engines, which contributes a lot to decontaminate in the air. and i think what else is well,

up, or if i want to see more or less with, i mean that's in the night. others, 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, a good idea your case as well for them. i think this as a way of demonstrating it. 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 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 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 coffin. we need you guys wherever you are. however, up here flickering. passion is our motto, and your stories, our currency, 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 never exit route one. so sorry, we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with this machine. just story to ideas and costs by itself and millions and millions of use that. com and most of all your feedback that makes it better. this video make me add that to all thing is loved.

so close to watching. keep going. well, thank you for the question is now slash if we go next, right to wherever you are sensitive 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 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 and bodies disappeared of the era in which it was amazing with them and which continues to be a source of inspiration for car designers, manufacturers and introducing us the money and the mercedes benz e class, a slate which in 3 decades has achieved massive success world wide, 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 i'm not going to go for it 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 to offer to help welcome us . first savings, a german car brand with over 100 years of heritage, the vehicle that there's the 3 pointed stars, the very of 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 isn't the $400.00 informatics with the, the star is the symbol of strength, of longevity, be also a symbol of trust and the current sally, keep them in even after countless kilometers. and it's a specially loved in the arab world. does. yeah,

this is my treasure for the engine is very old. i have definitely at least 40 years old, the today that 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 0 or drop medina. we took the best and most expensive taxi i've ever driven. was the mercedes to 50? yeah, there's no homes back on marketing before the state farm. 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 them clear that and we'd also means that this very exciting experience is about, takes me straight onto the auto bond with the city on the

boulevard to include no 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. quoting 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 some 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 don't know that the, there's an oil test driving this car was an on the landscape. we drove through to the landscape where greenery meets technology and clean engineering or something that's reflected in the car itself. but you 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 his electric motor without having to switch to its 2 liter combustion engine. but more of that later and the fear that

sitting in this car for the 1st time brought back memories of my early childhood and youth case. i knew of that and 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 dream is coming true and i'll be at a bit late. but and this time i'm right behind the wheel or this very luxurious cardio alpha, which is the money behind the car, hasn't woken many memories and especially memories of my childhood memories of my grandfather of when he would take me on trip such a small child without visiting his friends of the car and it's gonna be up until the tax season to commute. and they were often the same on the category of cars. because then i also remember many trip soluble wordless vehicle with friends and fellow students from the region where i grew out of the kind of fidelity. but i have on the edmond specifically trips in the middle class on or the

e class mercedes. i didn't, i didn't move towards that, but i would say mentorship 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 unit since 1947. this makes this model series 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 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, by so this plugin hybrids that they see it only thing that's coupled on this car that i'm driving today can be charged for being in my of course, i 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 europe, or in the arrow bridge and or in areas where there are no fast charging stations not to collect the. this household adapter can also be used to charge the car at home, trying to figure out 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 need enough that i shall see how we feel. good. thanks, mercedes. sure, good. thanks, mercedes, very. or the show grandmother said is no, you know things needed well are whether expert is pretty chatty and not a seasonal mercedes. let me tell you what arabic dialects i can speak to him. i love the german national team though. even though i used to sports well, please get set up and clearly there's room for improvement. but what's the navigation system like up are away as jerusalem mercedes, or to show no guidance is not yet activated. the shock, thanks mercedes spend,

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 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 the thanks the mercedes rear axle steering for the low speeds up to 4 and a half degrees warner. and at higher speeds you go to they move up to 2 and a half degrees. so 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 financially 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 intelligence the what is the key 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 you know, there's 170 mark at the beginning of the production of the class. the 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. no, it has to be the opposite. this 11 for like it's old in record numbers in the arrow, but well, me, us for auto body shop, talk a good fit on them. and obviously in fact, you see 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 i could have little come when i bought my help up here. i think it of course 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. let me get a minute and some of the and this model now is the latest fucking,

why city years of development. the heritage that culminates in this new 2024 model has a 30 year at all or some sort of going to 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 transmissions, you 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. i know what i'm not a ged, but it doesn't about to be here. so yeah. 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. so 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, what they're 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 been 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 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 a steering mount, a gear shift. as you see a big move, for example, that requires a 10th of driving 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 in that well you're speaking to the spokes person for a 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 and the funny i, i wonder whether the 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 to have it on all on those sort of kind of a homo. what would that a study? and then also when we think of the rape and region on the lines 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
