25 years to instruments, the racist revolution says the tune of the industrial age, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world. is this really possible documentary renewables, november 25th on d w. the in the fast lane is china is auto industry overtaking its former market leaders, german car makers on bikes, new friends, a new business ideas on 2 wheels in south africa, and on heavy terrain. how and 11 year old test land rover's off road shops. right now on rap the

for decades, german cars made a good showing on the chinese markets and earned their makers billions. meanwhile, the world's largest auto market has itself become a major car, producing nation with the help of volkswagen and putting the german shore passed to quick money on a rocky ground. this definitely elements of something on the, on the raises edge are the ones so willing pupils rebelling against their former teachers. china uses the economic interest of the outside or international partners. this shifting landscape will impact german carmakers the economy in germany, including the assessor. for many years he can load the facts and all the risk as the germans fallen asleep at the wheel. what kind of do to hang onto their top spot

in the fiercely contested global car market? your go to china. risk is huge, of the children kind of say it's a risky patch on china. it's definitely quite a risk you develop and said that's taking place at the moment because come make us drum and call, make us trim. an industry is doubling down on investments in china and at the same time that economic and political, the peoples of geopolitical risks, increasing dancing on the, on the raises edge. while investing in china isn't increasingly risky. business for germany's automakers. it was a long, a win win situation for both countries. the germans were there when china was transforming itself from a nation of bike riders to car drivers, china and they came to german auto industries, most important market accounting for some 40 percent of its total turnover. know

whether international car producing country is as dependent on the chinese market as germany. it all began with a v. w santana. in 1983 volkswagen set up a joint venture in shanghai and to build the sedan, especially for the chinese market. as has volkswagen, we've also contributed to the quality level of our competitors there. with the technology work and outstanding autos we produce for customers. we've left our mark on the market there. and what though, we've certainly help bring about technological progress in the respective regions to have by the fuse you guys or not. so in essence, they helped china learn from scratch and improve the automotive industry. i teach him a tracy. yes. so create for the last 20 or 30 years german car companies have been excellent teachers and set an example for the whole chinese auto industry. how the last about yeah. for 2nd,

the chinese market was dominated by german cars. the versioning, chinese auto industry didn't even try to compete and make cars with conventional combustion engines. instead, for the last 2 decades, china has focused its efforts on electric drives. government policies and subsidies motivated its industry to build ever better electric cars that have left german a. v. as in the dust, german automakers have captured just 5 percent of this rapidly growing market compared with the roughly 20 percent market share their fuel powered models regularly reached what's on company or how to because their past success was heavily dependent on traditional fuel cars, hopefully and people tend to have different levels of comp dependency. well, as a new company, we don't have any pants to rely on either nor any baggage that can't be discarded them, so we can move forward more lightly. so don't change to tony's brands like neo and

b, y, d profit from the fact that for years the chinese state has pulled out all the stops to make production of e cars as a tournaments as possible. like ensuring a steady supply of the raw materials necessary for the entire e. b value chain. the warranty which is just snatched vw crown as china is market leader. it develops innovative batteries and tips as well as electric motors . that's why the chinese are so far ahead with ease, gemini needs to reinvent itself in order to stay competitive internationally and uh, it will not be the automotive production. germany cannot compete with, oh, what china has invested german carmakers aren't willing to just accept defeat. they haven't given up the fight to become major players and the market. what's fun fun satisfy? volkswagen may not always have been the 1st to bring new technology to market to

this. but when we did introduce a, we did it right and conquered the field was and the electron mobility is a challenge that we're still working hard on the golf club and do a want to take german car. companies need to better understand chinese consumer needs in the areas of ease and develop and validate their products accordingly. high volume tom t, for instance, young chinese buyers think volkswagens electric models or lane as they lack a karaoke app. when it comes to infotainment software, germany these leg far behind to better meet the needs of their asian customers. german automakers are setting up more r n d centers in china. and discovering that they now have much to learn. china has certainly become quite innovative and german comp make us want to tap

into that. they want to tap into a local know how when it comes to software development, when it comes to battery development, the show kind to say is to pay on china, not just on sales, but also on technology. it's a big is always gonna, if you don't go to china, china in the future because of those on china, our departments come right in front of, of china. if you don't do that, those the race german carmakers seem to have taken this message to heart dw mercedes, and bmw are selling out more than 5000000000 bureaus to get cooperation agreements with chinese partners rolling for battery production and the development of self driving cars and mobility software. germany's auto industry is doubling its investments in china compared to recent years. china is the place to be china is where we are at home. targeted long term

strategy and so just whistling in the dark. one of those steps is to make that china operations more tournaments to kind of create subsidiaries that, that are more independent from the rest of the world they produce in china. unfortunately, this is going to have an immense impact on uh, the drum and economy. germany's foreign minister and lena bab book isn't pleased when jobs and supply chains leave the country for china. the german government is currently in talks about a new china strategy for german businesses. should we as the german government, she'll be support that or should we say, if you want to go that that's your corporate risk, but we should not give you any investment guarantees to, you know, support that investment. because ultimately, you are supporting trends that could touch the german economy along.

so with chinese competitors biting at their heels, wilcher and carmakers have to find their way without the government backing in china as auto industry, more and more foreign managers are now being replaced by chinese ones. so what's the relationship between german and chinese automakers like these days? what's on your vehicle? i think there's a chinese term that describes this relationship well, which is jane you. it means we are friends 1st taught us and we learn from and inspire each other in the same field course. i'm sure. same course on to to i would definitely say we're more competitive at the moment and i think china is rolling out the rest compet to those companies that it needs. right. so i think saying we have friends and might be able to simplify c and right. i think china is very

strategic and it's outreach to phone companies or just how much longer? well, the chinese need a german car companies and after 4 decades of cooperation, what has the delicate relationship between china and germany rot all through the lucrative source of revenue for mercedes volkswagen mbm w the approach of change to treat and trying to use is the economic interest off um the outside or international partners as a weapon. we always deal with the, with the communist party. if you are dealing with the automotive institutions, with every investment that you do also from the automotive industry in china, your sewing on the branch that you're sitting on, on your own liberal democratic interest, not to mention the looming threat of

a military conflict. should china engage neighboring taiwan? if that is going to be a military influence comes, makes that so probably will bring the industry industrial corporation in the sector business gamble that the peaceful coexistence is going to continue that. you know, the technology from china can be utilized going forward. do you have, maybe the french come make is like that on test, which is basically said the chinese market is too risky. we should retreat. and i guess it will be a really interesting case study to see maybe in 10 to 15 years with right. so i think it's, it's, it's a risky patch on china. still other major carmakers likes to lantus on tests reliant on china. so the uncertain outlook for doing business sarah

is crucial to their survival. but the future of the german auto industry will be decided in china, where german carmakers will have to navigate the falling line between success and failure. the if you want more rib, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, really can make you very happy. vintage classics and future tech are just some of the exciting content waiting for you to subscribe to us. and youtube slash dw rab and you'll always be up to speed, the

reclaiming the streets. that's what urban cycling is all about. the cycling feels like the biggest adventure when you like a kid just the physics capture is like yeah, and thing to and you kid is riding around the recycling is look done putting as a mode of transport because it's usually look as a thing the poor people you know, and not what the typical which and trust person with the the reason i think you should get more people than buying. so the cause of health benefits, the green economy and bits,

as it sees that we get too busy and you know, the list cause we have on the roads to move people we have on bicycles. makes perhaps the, it's really to get more people on by schools. young, small old black, white colored for races. everybody. that's what differentiates us. it's time for the 16. we have a meeting point where we speak about the engine intake and we use the cycle. and so it's all over the cycle in the cd and we cycle out maybe stuff some way, get a coffee or a drink and we carry on cycling and find you end up at like a nice restaurant. it's really just about getting together and socially.

so was by convince you psycho as you are you writing for the destination and nothing to the teams so we don't waste appendix or live craft or anything like that . we come teams, we come in sure with becoming anything that feels comfortable for us to write it. it's like a mishmash. and the representation of what the tube looks like as a mile to what started as regular training for better health and meeting as a group of a few best friends has now developed into regular social gatherings to unwind after work. i've seen people who for many of them, it's never known each other, and they lived in the same woods, meet on a bike drive. and now the 9th, the piece, the frames, or because of the things that coming together the bridge of the depths between us as a people. i mean, i think, you know what the landscape of south africa looks like. and we like a microcosm of that. so we try to bring more people to get to really just the funds

. i see that the actually really overlay part from cycling. the bandits are pros at repairing, maintaining, and restoring bikes. even a new business idea was born out of the group, hiring our bicycles and doing city tours as well. the focus is not on prophets, but on friendship. since i mean the guys from vitamin is and started and joining the ride. they definitely range from strangers to frames and know some of my face trends. now. i meant to talk to the people spiking band. it's people who had actually joined us in the past to as they have changed my life quite drastically, i should say, you know, become humble, the, you know, meeting new people and how the actually teach you of what they know and what you

don't know. it's mostly humbled you to saying that i'm willing to learn and that's what i've actually loved quite a lot to. yes, the, the bandits have come a long way and they're about to take over the streets of johannesburg with their next gatherings. recently we've taken over the cool mess that happened on the citizens we, we did every one and a new one on the pass code to ride in the city at night. and these are v, please, like silverado and other parts of google is that nobody was on a new random motive. dangers of people think the idea is to let people know that to but also put it on to them as well. and they should come back and visit and see, you know,

it belongs to one of us. or the wizard attention to detail with a license to thrill the aston martin d b 5, made famous by james bond. it looks like the genuine article. but the leg group comes up a bit tight. this model by the little car company is as the name implies, a downsized version. but it's not for kids. it can do 80 kilometers per hour. the legal limit strongly the price list 19 fifties race call. in slightly smaller scale that you wouldn't otherwise get. i don't know the cause of signed off by the, the factories so that the companies will send the test drive as to sign of the vehicles and make sure they just perfect honey. i shrink the cars by around 25 percent. who got these ferrari's asked in martin's for years then headline had been

importing many replicas from asia. but he wanted a more authentic deal and environmentally friendly electric drive. today he has over 60 employees and an annual turnover of 80000000 euro. he finds many of his buyers at luxury trade. there's like here in london. the cars are for the track or just for show a ferrari, for instance. i do, i see that 1968 tester, asa sending and i, i think at 93000 euros, it's a steel compared to an original the company exports the 50 countries with germany as its main european market. the engineers even designed a very special container to transport them. now these flight cases, full typing size go down this rems, this size. you can then drive your car on. it sits in the wheel cups distributed,

but the runs back in to close it up like a clamp, and then you can move around. well, it's rumored that even king charles of passionate environmental is, has his eye on one of these mean little electric machines. and it would be a royal delight to see the king at the wheel. rob liam is 11 years old, too young to get a driver's license. yeah, if he's putting a land rover to the test, both on road and here in bull soft germany. 9 . liam's taking part in kids drive at the land rover experience center. not far from just the north. it's germany's largest off road center. hello, it's industrial tellers. how many of the clubs and liam is making

his driving debut in the company of his father and an experienced instructor to a playstation over the phone? yeah, there's one on 2 balls that to them but was on the take for the kids drive. children must be at least 11 years old enough to find 1.42 meters tall and then just registered on funding. and we drive off road here for thousands of years up to what the kids can do less. it can progress from simple exercises to the 1st obstacles we'll tackle today once a month. so it's not a little ones, and i'll just put this in. i'll take all that on your end, but she's good cause i'm good now. and that's like a lot of times on his calendar. okay too, cuz i'm not an own lesson plans or yeah,

i'm not gonna be sending those from the i'm liam is already on the move. not bad for an 11 year old the distance notice i've got a notice to hold on, so i'm gonna give them a discount code. it went well because an adverse, we had to practice a bit starting and stopping is a bit different than with the simulator. so to you, you have to sort out the feet with an automatic you have to work with the right foot, getting caught on quick fingers roll comes with the rest. yeah, i understand that until the month of dies for us. now, liam's got the basics down. jo, calling seemed his 1st off road challenge. will he pass it on the 1st time around it? so hold on. so i'm like the time to try to link all the links the

let's just now there's plenty of food last night and the restaurant and the nice thing clear, there's plenty of nice, pretty nice play and i spend on kind of commitment like also nothing on the phone the next thing the next mission have shut up for lunch, but i think the at the end lives, the biggest challenge to ramp with the 60 degree in klein will lead to make it to the top. you can stop because then the cd will start coming back down the hill this block. that's why i have not done some of that. and we done kind of doing it

to show long stuff on if it 10 percent off the same customer not present this america. ok, so 5 minutes is in mail room 2 o'clock on tuesday. now listen please enough link length links this down. ok. i'm peaceful from the findings holding the land rover's experience center was built to meet strict environmental requirements just for taking a path through unspoiled nature isn't permitted in germany. so the automaker came up with a creative solution the um, enough for me to when i get together with our architects,

we created the concept to build the obstacles in a soil friendly way. when we man, let us know that if we had to remove them at some stage, you could take away the stone and gravel and the ground would be just like before you fly out. meanwhile, liam is just happy he got the land rover around the course without crushing into anything. a catch. the 1st one was a little scared that i drive into something else, but then it was okay. so it feels good because he consents the engine going up and down has lots of fun and must be at a signal he didn't really well. i wasn't too scared once and his instructions were great. cool as a cucumber, totally clear, just what we needed. oh, that's what i was gonna call and how it should be perfect. liam will likely never forget the incredible experience of how he 1st learned to drive in the land rover m. s. u v. that cuts a good take care of that,
