as well then progress as tough calls to everyone who wants to know more about the topic. the 2nd son about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. the w talk cost the how india is transpose is guessing green a how this motorcycle taxi driver in molly is becoming a role model. and how this indian couple travels and lives in a band that i move right now. on raf the

. this is the new edition of the volvo, etc. 40 look familiar. maybe at 1st glance, but not upon closer inspection. all except for the re charge has hit the streets in 2019 and after a small facelift in 2022, it's an all gets a bigger revision. let's take a closer look at all the details. and let's try to answer a question that's been tormenting our car test for decades. volleyball is known for safety and full, swedish european engineering. and since the acquisition by and julie some years ago, everyone things, oh, how long will they stay? swedish and not become chinese. cxc 40 is based on volvo's compact, modular architecture, platform, or cma. the platform can vary in width and length,

but the distance between the front wheels and the pedals always remains the same. it can be equipped with combustion engines, as well as fiber and fully electric power trains. the cars that use this platform include the volvo, see 40 some lincoln, koa, 01. but g leasing your way. and the julie preface a now with the switch to electric cars, the question of cause is, is this really a suite is call? or if this, it's a nice car with a swedish d, right? but let's come back to that question later. for now, let's check out what the x the 40 has to offer when it comes to driving the driving behavior. it doesn't offer any surprise, a little bit off on the steering in fast driven curves, but very,

very small with right, good to control. busy the exploration also, if i go up, the mountains is very good. although the car way small the into tons. that's not surprising when you consider that the twin motor version we're testing has 110 killer watts of power at the front axels and 190 at the rear of the major advantages of the 2024 model is the bet. sorry, the battery is now able to be charged at $200.00 kilowatts, and the battery offers more range and combination with the new edings. and so the x, the 40 can go up to 575 kilometers without recharging. but that's only possible in the extended re ends version with

a $185.00 kilowatt rear axle drive and a light foot low as no integrated this mon recuperation system in this kind of a vehicle is in front of you because we're recuperated up to 2.5 meters per 2nd. and if there's no one in front of you with the car, just rolls down the hill. and if the car in front of you breaks this one, recuperate stronger, as i just said, up to a 2 and a half meters per 2nd. if he breaks honda, you have to break yourself. that's something you have to get used to the if you rely too much on the automatic breaking, you might find the gap between you and the vehicle in front of you closing too fast for comfort. next to me, this looks the class. he is the head of development of the ball electric propulsion systems for this car. lots this cars, the 1st kind,

24 by fuse that is available with a rear wheel drive 25 years ago. volleyball said only don't build rear wheel drive anymore because front wheel drive is safe. if this wrong i'll just do the physics as of course the same, but a lot of changes have happened. it's mainly it's uh, electronic stuff developed tremendously. so all the controls and the videos to be of assistance on much, much better than 25 years ago. and the other fact is that as an a battery electric vehicle is much easier to control when it comes to driving dynamics and driving, submit it to you on the outside details like the grill differentiate the ecc 40 recharge from its combustion engine powered siblings. of course the fee for the, with its coup like shape is somewhat more elegant about the ex,

before and it's somewhat more practical, especially when it comes to the receipts. your passengers has much more had room in this cause. some trim levels come with a contrasting glossy black root. what i like is that the seats are not completely made of fabric on the back rest, but with a little bit of plastic here in between. so if you have children with you and they are sitting in their children seats and they are playing with the feed and i'm hitting the seed and from the them, you can clean it up much easier. the interior of this and all future electric volvos is letter free. the panoramic roof, of course, is an extra charge, but i like the roomy feeling that it gets to the passengers. like many cars, the ecc 40 offers the front storage space. 31 leaders fit in here. the large

luggage compartment in the rear holds 419 to 1295 liters. and there are more storage compartments under the floor. the . well, let's come back to our 1st and question. let's how much china is in this car. how big is the influence of the chinese model? yeah, yeah and, and i would say that they said nearly 0 that called like the other mobile is that we have on the roads today is 100 percent developed in speed and nothing broke. that platform is still locked in in death and broke. it is of course, used in other cars, also on the, in the, within the daily group. but it's european design, european engineering. what is behind that, the car, the manufacturer to have the car in all plugged in again. for other markets. it's

also manufacturers in china, in those 2 regions, are the main components of the costs are localized. so it has to be produced low to a full loca. according to volvo, the quality of the cars is identical, whether they come from europe or china, where a particular vehicle comes from will depend on import regulations and availability . the car we're driving today comes from belgium and ar test or had a clear opinion about it. it's really a great guy, it drives good. let's see. it's comfortable as well. the overall performance is great. the look and feel on the inside is good. you have to get used to the input payment system and to the climate controlled in the in full payment system. but if you have found that this nothing really to complain about. and unfortunately i would love to

complain about something, but i can't find anything. sounds like both of those legendary suite is quality. i have learned that although they're outside these cars that use the same platform as this one is not a chinese car. it is of the swedish car, the material, the quality of the overall look and feel the design, everything is just as you expected in avoidable. unfortunately, also the prize is of all volleyball costs, but never famous for being cheap. to be precise, the model we tested goes for $69200.00 euros in germany. but for that, you get a car with lots of safety and comfort features, a powerful power train and an appealing interior. on the downside,

the google maps navigation and infotainment system apps are sometimes a bit awkward to use. easier access to them would make the car even safer to run is done. so i want you to name the move law to allow me to walk up putting in no net fun needs. if i'm on the, did it the only due to the sip of your, if it was a long you want save, you might need a metal. don't a dining room and to find proof listing. and if so, then you might say is then p, this list. think the one problem want

you to move law? so number 2, so want it up with you, ma'am? i don't. yeah, those yankee might need to do that. so say be the i didn't i'm sitting in front. these do loose man is on simple a, b as in the me, the method as my friday to city know when no, and the fun needs a problem. what day did it don't do? 3 sip of the simple. so i'll give you this only as if more and it's only made desktop i say is soft because you see levels the one we don't need the rest

of the way it's this one. yeah. to does appear. i don't see on the map. see if let's see the 55 seat. duly. it'd be 50. yeah. that'd be the zip files. okay. that these are the local won't exactly website to be moved with the month. so i said, i need to know i've had to do what you lots about for see the do the way the lender to do much says is that is you can last read there is a did presenting there the

is the a bunch good says the fuzzy the family of mail chip out, we'll see if we think this one has its own. i will go on via a i me the and i me as all of wow, national fight capital. the other 2 new to my way. my math. yeah. and it goes down to one. and then you've got a junkie i checked with that and it turned on my friends the on my down send go feel there is usually move um update the princess. and then if amazon do you have like, what if one media vip, what if they do then funny, most people do it by them being that extending whatever demons being one and to say, said the do so, let's keep the one product means this. so why are they to yankees

fault zone teeth funding levels. so that was so you for so what you can do with netflix is wanting part of the system. the things you will not be in fear on stage. i mean, is it fit on the map of the fees? the cars are 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. flick the right. what the question is now? where should we go?

right to wherever you send us, your stories and your crazy car into the let's catch up soon. on the with the click of a button, the wheels of change have been set in motion. 24 year old video is breaking gender, stereotypes, willow. so taking a step forward for the environment. some of the 1st batch of women to be driving electric buses, a non whole jenny's out of the city of new denny, the. the bus is a part of an initiative by private company in waco, which operates one of the largest fleets of the buses in the country. high representative. d when i'm on the highway, all i think about is getting my passengers to the destination safely before the

quote on that is transport sector accounts with nearly 10 percent of its total national greenhouse gas emissions. in order to make liability green and vicious targets have been announced. i'm curious to find out how india can dekalb and nice it's economy well creating job opportunities for the most vulnerable and modern life community or and that's how women like video can be positive. all that the new green economy has to offer have 7 man based on the problem stuff at home. the ask way that i'm capable of doing this job because it's men's work, especially since i look through people those way. but i'm up for driving such a big bus. they said this is men's work, not women's. i think work is work. you just need to use it in coverage and that's it. women like video and her colleagues need support systems in place to ensure that the transition goes smoothly for them. we got

some of them in college captains on board. we change them over and above that training and beat into this training if you cannot afford, then he said that she's ready. now let's do the floss to investigate in the entire wood, which is that need to walk it off and then go to this whole concept of human pass and yours. the minute quotes captain vivian came and what's coming in the mama, i try to focus on large scale reforms in hit tenure as the indian ministry of power . simply by changing the economic model, she was able to create and lead the world's largest electric bus program with 5450 vehicles. first and foremost, we made it mobility was being provided now as a sub. so the incentive, the right place means private developers are the people who come to the buses are incentivized to efficient. this model is what allowed us to achieve scale. so suddenly from 200 buses and rest of these will. 1 5060 buses, maybe 300 buses,

300 was the biggest number removed from that to 5 and a half 1000. at the same time, ma well also took steps to ensure adjust the transition. we all set the buses be solving neutral. we all set the o e m, that the equipment manufacturers go out and make basically try and make sure that you found the greenhouse gas emissions. and if you want to offset offset with projects in india, we made special reservation or category. in fact, take reservations for women. by 2030, the government intends to make all public transport electric. dennis transport minister kayla sca not invited me for a glimpse of what a green ride looks like. the 1st and all the entire fleet will be at 10580 percent. so that in the middle east,

this would be probably one of the highest in the world. i'm curious to know what kind of infrastructure had to be created to ensure the city was ready for green. the ability that is the one where we are, you're fine just for the additional because we have spending more than $1500.00. and when we talk about the public uh, charging station 4005 from the starting point. and yet the sale of electric vehicles is still far behind the share of eaves remains any one percent of the total markets. india has made it clear that this transition could be false to if it were provided with the vide financial support from the international community. the, the n t p. c power station at dodge, we just on the outskirts of danny is powered by co that arrives directly from the

mines located in east india. the energy security of the country and for most of india is economy still depends largely on coal. i'm it all to cos who reminded me that india is energy transition must create job opportunities for people who are directly or in directly dependent on coal. it's quite exciting to talk about just transition as a global concept. in the end, it's will come down a lot to how much up skilling and re skilling can be do for people. what kind of jobs we can offer, what kind of green economy constructs can be create and regions like these with diversified options exist for people. how can they be absorbed into agriculture, which is productive? can you create renewable energy complexes in these areas and those people can be employed, but these that are distributed ideas and they don't exist in any kind of policy and regulation. and perhaps that's where the effort needs to be in

these transition to clean renewable energy will have a share of challenges. bus. people like momma video as came this, remind us that a new road is on its way then the way that they've done is a home and that way of life. it appears to be slightly unusual and it does have any challenges, but i like it's literally like the changes to shape our lives, but it's not as simple. that's what it is you're seeing that as the okay. and show me she a claim to be in this 1st van life, couple intent to go to london by then. they began the journey with the aim of travelling around the wood and the model of the uneven and have already seen nearly

all of in the states. and the phone of hometown is to assure it, and carol, but it isn't just india that we can sit at home country because we travel is we've gone all the way over the portage and they've called to the china bought it in to be tons onto the border of me in mind, these are one of the kind experiences to have an experience for the, the, the ever since it was very young, i always one to, to travel. but my parents are a bit strict and the family is always the dogs. so that designs that how does a young girl to go and travel the world wasn't something i could follow? oh no, i never believe that as a go. i could travel number in things changed up to up to 10 or not. but he was the one who said, hey, you can do it or not. and that's why we've been traveling a lot across india as a van live couple live in del, through that's out in front of the

canada, or i'm an automobile engineer. as soon as my course was over, i moved to cats are to start working. but i had no job satisfaction some so i quit and came back to india. and pardon me, what's the message we want to send to people with our travels and you know they will, how to live on minimalistic lifestyle and not for everyone, if you will. and you can only adhere to a lifestyle if you're passionate about it. in the past, and this is our passion, and they've been the best and it was a boy you. then i'm going to view this. you can see this is a home the southern when we opened this do, the 1st thing you'll see is up at the very model number 4, we solved a better way like this. in order to make the most of the little space, we have allowed them to sun life for you and you're going to get all the electricity we need from the side of the panel on the roof of order for now you. when you think of the fact that i'm a woman and that we travel as a couple, it really seems like it's only fun all through. but there are issues my safety for

example, safety, other hygiene to that's important. but i is, is we're on the road. we have to use public restrooms on option is i'm not compose issues that i use one of them. we have to sanitize the bathrooms before using them all on the class and traveling like this one needs to cook all of one's meals. the survey is the challenge of finding a safe spot to do that isn't going to put on there on several such issues. but since we're passionate about traveling, we're able to overcome those obstacles. and we've proved that we can achieve things with passion funding. this is the idea to travel like this during the kind of attend demik at the time of whose business wasn't doing well. but the initial investment we needed to make was huge. since we needed to convert larissa on the into emerging market a whole month on board for i was able to sell some of my goal to raise to get the funds we needed on the phone funded the other than the gotta sit. i'm on the dream

for the future is to travel to london and other span golardo to do a set of plans on line. good. and then we'd dream of traveling across the whole world. but for now we working on project loans in the fall. we do need some sponsorship to make it happen. the other one, the sponsorship, the positive they've also launched a website to help people interested in taking similar journeys. she a is an online mental health professional. the money she makes covers the cost federal and the none of the out in front of them. they're not good. we enjoyed traveling one, but long term travel should have a sort of message associated with it too. so we've started an organization called safe, which stands for safe, a voice for everyone. done with this organization. we have to help other people who have the desire to travel, but don't know how to go about it. in the way, can they?

i'm a rookie on the van is an 800 c c vehicle. when we move and our desire is to travel the entire world in this man, not any other vehicle let fall in front of me, and we want to do it in a minimalistic way. many minutes to get that really is our ultimate desire line. good awesome. however you get the enjoy the ride and see you next time on rev the the the
