the forest fires evaporating large amounts of moist tune in to get the onset and learn more about the heavy, invisible river flows through the sky starting september 20th on the w. t electric powered classics in photo tap 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 unit one of your biggest. and i'm going to show you my top 5 highlight the search any, you know, i'm kind of the wallpaper in 5th place and my ranking of cop 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 think 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 you know or fluid as well. so i'm in june june council, something cool, you phone me and politic. sions are often accused of asking people to make their lives more environmentally friendly. all these on selves drive around and large gas

guzzling machines, the nasal daniel cheese, what, how much it on to one or 2 wait guide be engaged with 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 to who you guys. so you go one vote in the lines of climate change, you have to wrestle. so if you that have been causing quite a stir around the world, i, you know, being excited since what's 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 who they didn't want to be cooperative. find the show, the 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 of what it

would seem so sure on the page from the federal, 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 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 and then this puts a on 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 can go to some issues of 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 to talk to so you can use development overrun on 10 months by 30 students from the

university behind 12. and another thing about it, 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. so 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 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 day when i was what the most remarkable thing for me is that there were no combustion engine. cars within the i a sufficient area timing that 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 to 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 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 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 car fam, i'm 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 done. what am i and 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 had 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 members in the engineering and the cars geometry so that the cars performance is the same as it was with the combustion engine. while 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 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 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 and lived in 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. 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 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 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,

up or down 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 the 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 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 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 telling me i just thought of 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 all a module and jo stories, our currency we have phone calls from germany and the craziest place all across to this one here 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, emotional, only with this machine. just story 2 ideas and cost by itself in millions and millions of use that com. and most of all the fact that makes us better this video, make me add that to all thing is love

is so close to watching. keep going. well, thank you for the question is now slash if we go next, right to wherever you are sentenced your stories. and your crazy card 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 running with the 8th and the new world fair to see it often if they're just such a glass of a vehicle that in bodies disappeared of the era in which it was made and 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 of sleep, which in $3.00 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 from a civil war that i'm not going to go on 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 $400.00 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, mercedes, 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. i mean there's the 400 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. 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 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 drop. medina. we took the best and most expensive taxi i've ever driven. was the mercedes to 50? yeah, there's a home 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 and in new territory, you know, and then the newest mercedes model. i then 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

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 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 a mere,

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 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 that 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 that sitting in this car for the 1st time brought back memories of my

early childhood and youth case. i knew 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 even and this time i'm right behind the wheel or this very luxurious cardio alpha, which is the money behind the if 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 as 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 and the middle class on, or the

e class. mercedes are a little more towards the publish 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 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 wants to position itself and 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 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 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 cottage

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, mercedes. sure. good. thanks, mercedes, very. or the stroke 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, we can 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 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 in check under the microscope in the water. as you mean, it was great. is that the rear wheels of it also turn along with the front wheels. thanks. the mercedes rear axle steering for the low speeds up to 4 and a half degrees warner. and at higher speeds, you know, they move up to 2 and a half degrees here. 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 40 at intelligence the what that q u i 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 heaven for old car lovers and procures must have been yep. now as $170.00 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. no, it has to be the opposite. this $11.00 for like, sold in record numbers in the arrow, but well, me up for auto body shop that we have to go for the ottoman obviously in fact it, yeah, there are a few tax season on the error world that if managed to clock more than 1000000 kilometers and mean you can, you imagine they have, it will 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. i don't know me yet. and some of 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 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 here. 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 dealt with today and it went up to 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. 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 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 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, glean 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. 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 by the helps. like for the plastic

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 and 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 gonna 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, 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, 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 that before the 15th of july and medicaid, the sustainable mobility and more next time on rev the

deal without putting concrete on a c o 2 diet and producing aluminum with eco energy, industrial scale, climate ascenders have a green and pleasant e, is it a sustainable fairytale? or the new reality can steal cement info, go green, close. in 90 minutes, on d w. the

people in trucks inject when trying to see the city center. and the straight screen, the around the world more than 150000000 people are we of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind. dw, may 4 mines the,

the change can be dealing to test the actual conclusion of the, like the trying to change the age of enlightenment. it's 300 year old ideas be responsible for today's problems. and could they help us solve them? i believe our futures in our past, the power of the beginning of the done as a series of the great philosophies to our present and future enlightenment says progresses in our hands and that means so is weekly. it's up to the series project and starts on services. on d, w. the

daily news life from berlin, ukraine's president delivers his 1st in person address to the un general assembly. since the start of the war, follow theresa lensky warrens that russian aggression could expand beyond ukraine's borders and accused is locked out of a weapon that lives in food and energy supplies against the international community . also coming there by john launches attacks in the dispute region of the carnal carol box. armenian media says the regional capital has come under bombardment. there by john is demanding the withdrawal over me.
