is a living see to your it's of trees golf . jenny reset on d w. the if you want to get away from middle you can take a plane or something more environmentally friendly to train. mobility is this week's topic on made to get from a to be in a way that's relatively affordable and green. you can also take the bus. one provider is now hard to beat flicks bus also and today showed a stumble for a ride for jump. seekins jenny, chuck drive is one, is that the electric vehicle, batteries repair,

instead of replacement and underwater robots pass, end of the marine animals close isn't just one of the most sustainable ways to travel. the boss is much cheaper, like top price and budget. so for $8.00 to $6.00 has been told me that eating into city bus traveling year upsets sometime. now you're already now in the biggest bus markets one. um, now the company is expanding beyond folders and exceeding expectations. you can see it as a country, but it's actually not germany listed as found on interest to keep us traveling 2013 . and since then, those signature green buses have become a symbol of affordable and sustainable travel in germany, europe under, around the world from the beginning flicks bus was moved in just a bus stop,

right. as people tend to think. so what we propose to best companies now all across the field because they focus on the operations and we are the technology layer. in that sense we develop technology for metro planning for pricing, for marketing, for operations, for customer service. and we deployed that on a little bit vase. this business model combined with leveraging data around electronics is allowing flicks bus to rapidly expands it's net. what the company, how the humble starts in 2013. so it's just a few rates in bavaria. seen enough operations expanded to cub all of germany. now, thousands of slicks buses link up more than $5600.00 destinations and $44.00 countries across full continents. that some vision to expand has not been without its critics. 16 most is grice to become the world's

largest interest city bus. trouble company is impressive. it's also race concerns about the competition potential market monopolization and the implications for regional operates as struggling to compete. the criticism group, particularly loud in 2021 of the slick spots, a quite greyhound lines. the largest long distance folks operates are in the united states. and fittingly at the discount price, we always say the a pro competition. we open markets, no battery is and of course a regular to environment to ensure safety and quality. that's totally clear. but besides that, let come a competition at the end bring the best product. in february 2024, flex made at century into india. the subcontinent represents an enormous opportunity for the company with india becoming a global tech club. i, in the guys i would say to china, there is a lot kick, which is

a fed process used as the backbone of people cutting it out. so a lot of money in investment going into getting rid of drawers and rather than just a check with rapid expansion, the workload on dr as has increased click so space criticism may for working conditions and on page over time there's been some horrible and fatal accidents some drivers have reportedly have to be on the road for more than 200 hours a month. chile, india, mexico. a 6 percent is diverse markets. the company faces the complexities of spring regulations, cultural nuances and operational challenges. teen is lots of in any european market . if you look at the mexico, this is like multiple times of the market of the u. s. in india, we have to be an indian company in china. if we have to be achieving and company.

and in germany, we have to be a german company in that sense, or india, the most populous country in the world, a single service called cover the entire market. so you need to understand what market use so report, customer use solving. and what do you need to deliver for that kind of thing? that is the biggest challenge is that you have to have bought for the month. it has the biggest thing that you can see it as a country. but it's actually not, it's was, was much more of a mini market base, is that many businesses flex operates on an asset like business model. but in both partnering with local best companies around the world, they manage daily operations. well, flicks handles the tech infrastructure. but how does a local company benefit from this this is only in charge of kit which no different from chartering where a group would want to hire a buses and we'd need to provide them immediately. 20th of class, now we can say which routes were operating into 3 or 4 weeks time and then planned

the buses accordingly. not all it was at this point. the flicks wants to continue to expand and grow according to the announcement. the next destination will be mexico, the 3rd largest long distance plus market in the world. this is movie the t 2 social mobility. are you looking for a job? digging for a job at the to spend writing applications and then waiting. and then you've finally got invited for an interview, thought there's a problem, you have no money for the ticket to get to the interview. but if you live in a stumble, that's the solution. let's take a look. the, the turkish economy is slowing down and inflation is through the roof, covering at around 50 percent. everyday essentials are getting more expensive.

economic pressures make it even harder for unemployed. people like a live c and cheese of 21 year olds, university graduate living is stumbled financially. she is fully dependent on her family. she isn't entitled to receive unemployment benefits because she's never had a job. is stumble is huge, and to leave us to use public transportation to get to job interviews. but the travel costs are high, meaning she can go to his menu. she would like i couldn't use my student called anymore because i graduated. that contract to move in to, to k t. public transportation is too expensive. her story is far from unique. turkey has a high unemployment rate, especially among young people. the struggle to find a job is something countless young people are dealing with. just like leave public transportation costs can be a barrier for

a job seekers. for at least it's already a challenge just to get to the job interview is stumbled has recently introduced a new initiative to make public transportation free for job seekers. assembled is the largest city so far to introduce such a measure. i'm going to most of the goal is that the participants can access certain job office and prepare them. the entities i am on. the 2nd goal is to reduce unemployment and assemble. the leaf is one of the 1st 8000 people to apply for the free travel passes. after registering with the local jobs center, she now has to attend an interview there. for interview was short on it when well, unfortunately they're looking for something else. it didn't match my qualifications . a leaf now only needs to fill out a form to get access to free transportation. she can take up to $32.00 trips a month. for each trip, she gets a q

r code on her phone. if she can't find a job within a month, she can renew the travel, pass a maximum of 3 times a year. you stumble isn't the 1st or only city to offer free transportation to the unemployed. in budapest, job seekers can travel on public transportation for free, but they also need to renew their past every month. meanwhile, the city of cape town went for a different approach. the city is partnered with employers to give job applicants travel vouchers to use for interviews. but do these measures actually help people find work? there were a few studies looking at the benefits of such measures and they show mixed results . one us study in washington, d. c found a job seekers or received a discount card for public transportation applied and interviewed for more jobs. but another study in seattle found that job seekers who are offered free transportation over a period of 6 months weren't any more likely to actually get

a job. well, such initiatives can help job seekers in the short term. they're not enough to keep people working in the long term. it's very important to provide such kind of a major use the same to front, the blinking, but at the on the other side to make it more affordable me to him and bump to effective. it's very important for us on probation of what the level of public transport in terms of it is, uh, accessibility in terms of 20 times in terms of service quality in terms of at home . so the schedules for at least say now free transportation is a game changer. tells me that the without the support will be able to go to as many job interviews. quite the means. do you think 3 transportation for a job seekers is a good idea? the driving the truck alone on a country road toward the sunset. a romantic image that has nothing to do with the

demands placed on today's truck drive, it's traffic jams deadline, stress over crowded rest areas and low paid to boot. it's no wonder there is a shortage. one company is currently looking for drivers in eastern europe. bob, us, you on all the loves, starts his work day loading trouble from a construction site. how do you love is a truck driver for the path and bird construction company he's from is pakistan. which is one of the places german companies are looking for truckers. there's a shortage of around $70000.00 truck drivers in germany. but now what do you love is one after he did the training here and how the south west of berlin got things all it is a lot to do with the salary that plays a big role, of course, was the one that i do next. how do you love is one of the problem burges, many far and truck drivers, even as a trainee he was taking home up to $800.00 euros a month. that's well above the average you expect salary. the biggest challenge for

him was the german understanding of time. fruitless guy. this functionality is the most challenging thing. you always have to be on time in germany. everything has to be done before the deadline was lift them up there and then more than 60 it was back. so started training is driver said pop and burke since 2020 the company has as fault and concrete plants and they are resource rich country. it's nearly impossible to find drivers in germany. poland and the tech republic nowadays says h r manager and gallop happened berg. not so and it was back to stand since a lender, they said an incredible number of young people have a, an average age of 26 to the side. that's why that's relatively high use unemployment in some parts of the country. we had 400. i think that's what makes us a good opportunity then a win win situation for both countries to at soon provide. and then the full cation of school teachers from whose back is done have come to visit their looking at

german companies and want to help their students find training in germany or the love reports. on his experiences, germany has now assigned to migration agreement with respect as dan. this simplifies many things. happened berg is already planning to start training there. yeah, that will help the job, training or re training to run most meet the lawyer if this will be able to get to them and drivers license as fast as i find. and that will mean the trainees will have a better experience with the training in germany before the game could its driver training at the company. today. trainee as he's back as i'm of practice is reversing. the instructor is pleased with how you did very well. thank it. and it was back to stand as i'm of austin, to accompany his uncle. he is a truck driver and convinced him to go to germany more than it'll come on to go to what's there, a modern trucks and good working conditions and

a work environment. and a better salary to have a that's why i made this decision this way in somebody's into the meanwhile or deal of sets off on his 2nd trip to the construction side. he says he wants to work in germany for a few more years, but then go back to is pakistan because he says he is home sick trim ability means better climate protection, new markets and less dependence on oil and gas. that's why we're seeing more and more of electric cars on the roads. the most important parts of an electric vehicle is the battery. it's also the most expensive. and it doesn't last forever. 8 to 10 years, or 1000 charging cycles. so to set to factories all was repairing, right. this is the magic mechanic. that repair is all sorts of

the batteries sky. you're welcome, thanks like vanya cottage. and there are loads of failed batteries in his lot from austria, switzerland, belgium, and of course germany we have cars from all the europe, with different dfcs, mostly on uh with defects on high alt assistance, the cdc and with this overseas. but to fix the, to the vanya and his team are looking at a tesla, before they can start, they hook the car up to a computer to get a better understanding of what they might be dealing with. we see we have a missing, but the board. there is no communication cell voltages. we have all possible defects. it's not definitive yet. but vanya is expecting water in grass within the

battery pack itself. this would explain why it's not communicating correctly with the computer. after all, the volts are removed, the $500.00 killer battery pack can be unloaded. handling high voltage components like these can be dangerous. so we might be careful to assess the risk to troubleshoot what might be the issue. and we need to be away from the about the pick up police, 1.5 minutes or so. so with this technician serial approach, the bucket becky, which is to check the voltage, we will clean it's then we will open the pin house. now vanya eliciting low air into the battery housing, and are on the lookout for kissing sounds, because with air can get out. water could have gotten in ok, we have a leaking here and here leaking here. so we have leaks of to for patients.

vanya started reverse engineering of electric vehicles in 2018 back then it's garage used to be a regular workshop. today the trains mechanics, europe wide, has developed his own repair tools, and even works together with manufacturers when he notices specific parts failing more frequently. we can see traces so forth there. this is 100 percent. what the english 3 is and so forth. or now the disassembly continues until the battery module can be taken out. it's the final step in assessing the ripper ability. usually find use spends about $1.00 to $3.00 days on each car until it's repaired difficult cases where more troubleshooting needs to done can take significantly longer. we can see here serious damage around about 30 pick what they're completely damaged the bus bars,

weddings. they are loose. fence windings and this is extremely dangerous and behave, we can see the complete oxidation or the, or the, or the positive side of the cell. one, you could switch out the single cells in the module that look like this. but where does he get them from other tests, those that didn't need them anymore. but with that much rushed inside. the module is just not safe. to be absolutely sure of this values team also measures the voltage, the internal resistance of the fuses, the sales and the entire module. but not all batteries are created equal when it comes to rep or ability. it is about $340.00 peer is the one which you can find the spare parts, and that's the end of story. that's why the test i'm of the last is one of the easiest about topics to repair, even the model 3 model. why is the easiest about the to refill? because you can find only almost olsby of parts. and you can go even for the test

line by some spare parts for the bucket bag, which you cannot deal with. i say it has been as being w according to fine. yes, it's not even the battery that fails in most cases. just one out of 10 cards that come in the, the battery modul repair. many more issues occur on the drive unit for other high voltage parts like this smart, the d c, d. c converter needs to be replaced. it converts the high voltage current from the battery into the low voltage current used by most electric power components in a car. it's an easy fix for the crew of the clinic. back to our problem child the test lab battery. after extensive test thing, one thing is clear for then 2 of the battery packs, modules are beyond repair. now the customer has to decide if he still wants to repair this battery or get a completely new one. both options are expensive,

but with 300000 kilometers on the odometer, he's already got. this money's worth because this is, by the way, the 1st one which we cannot save. so how expensive is a battery repair in vanya shop? what say in this example, over the cdc for electric sparks, we in charges $8000.00 heroes and recharged for $1800.00 of yours with tax. very i for there are some other examples for example, but they fix definitely show just $16000.00 total. we charge 625000 barrel plastics . p us. it charges $14000.00 a little for the monthly fee. the notary period waiting period defense for $1000.00 to 2000 pay. what was the, the, and the customer about a 3rd cheaper than the 15220000 euros. a manufacturer would charge you. so batteries in easy use can be repaired and he doesn't need to break the bank.

mobility is also needed to monitor pipelines. fiber optic cables and other critical underwater infrastructure. in the ocean depths, it's becoming increasingly difficult for dive as to reach the locations they need to. now there are new technical solutions. the only thing read thoughts that are modeled on penguins on month to raise developed by a gentleman company it might look like any other matcher rate, but it's actually quite different. this one contains high tech equipment. there's the fin steering of course, but also in underwater modem. there are radio and wi fi communicate sion interfaces and there are networking solutions for ocean monitoring. so far this band or rate is just a prototype that shows up some of the companies capabilities between 1st maybe you

take your fish and apply pressure to it's frank, it pushes back to what we have here is a very special construction where to when you apply pressure the wing changes its shape due to the movement of its let's say fish bone. we love the beauty of nature . it's forms and it's aesthetics and the functionality behind it all the time to but it's not as an end in itself and visit mendoza technical purpose for every things comes club. i've tasted these appliances are shaped to be extremely dynamic . home seems to be most and um they have a very low drag and water and gusting and guns. we anything that he uses, very little energy to move ahead. it's also extremely quiet, etc. and con, at the, on the, on the coming. now, looking at communication technology, we're taking inspiration from dolphins, and we're getting a very robust data connection. and it's all very environmentally friendly. eh,

on demand as a whole, new website is tied to and this is the company's best seller, soto bought a small catamaran. it's being used at berlin's museum island today. the catamaran is using sonar to detect whether water levels here have changed since the new subway line was built here a year earlier. it's important information, not least for shipping companies active on berlin's waterways. the kind of or ends onboard computer uses a i could even help locate lost items to the deal. so we can see the depth values like here, it's a bit lighter, which means it's a bit deeper where it's red here. the water is pretty shallow between 2 and 4 meters deep. so nobody makes for easy surveying. the job used to require larger boats with big crews when they had not, it's on a rope and would let it down to see how deep the water is. right. but of the time

it took them to navigate the boat to the next stop is put on, we're pretty much done with the whole job. so if i start doing this all that by the right, the square a lot more flexible and faster as this goes in t, it's lexi law. these days, logics has around $100.00 employees and builds one or 2. so no bucks per day. for between 10500000 euros, depending on their configuration, industrial clients from 65 to entries, use them when building dams offshore, wind parks, bridges, porter check on pipelines. they're also used in harbors to keep an eye on critical infrastructure. not to really shouldn't vic that's they should just kind of of course we're working within a framework of geo political and g o. strategical developments, hotels for the home. there are special challenges in the black sea, the south china sea, with china, russia that involved maritime solutions, the indian mission, maritime safety is a big topic,

and then we have to deal with it here in germany and in europe to which one do you . it's a wholesale, how missing legal fees kind of cobalt fitness. and this one is suppose to help with those challenges. the quad drawing a maritime robot inspired by penguins unlike so nobody, it can dive and collect maritime and environmental data from great depths. the to can be shared by remote control or travel economists like you to another high object solution that's gaining interest in industry, but also with police and even the military. the not 6 for another edition of may where it's all about mobility. maybe for your next

trip, he'll take the bus, pull your city will help out with your job. search for your battery will last long to pull. you'll simply dive into the next that they shouldn't have made. so you next time the and the

where is mohammed fled from northern iraq and he became one of hundreds of migrants who vanished every year. somewhere in the no matter the lines between banners and i'm afraid i'll never see him again. when oh you in 15 minutes and d w. i look, there's some right there. the commissioned oil pumps are a big environmental thresh in texas. i'm here to see what's going on at the center

of it all and the problem is lessening tesla, old wells bucks of professional carries expensive, very expensive. you can banker up in oil companies in 90 minutes on d w. the where is mohammed sub anything? so my nephew, give me a decent meeting. we don't know what's going on on that sub off fled from northern iraq and he became one of hundreds of language to vanish every year. somewhere in no man's land that lies between batteries. i'm clear if you choose become pools in a cru, see a political conflict with oh,

you lost on the run starts december 18th on dw. disruption is the goal. chaos is the goal. it's a wrecking crew. the radicals they want to bring the system down the stream lines come. so the donald trump will be the next president of the united states. rather nice in some ways, the divisions, the american society division works for him. he wants to increase polarization, have to wait for trumps. rise to power. these were the foot soldiers of mazda, the success of the for the rest of the world.

us say the value of the also rise starts january 18th on the dw, the you're watching. do you got your news life from biling? ukraine claims responsibility for killing a top prussian general in moscow. eguard cause a lot of the head of fresh as nuclear and chemical office was killed by a bomb daunted inside an electric photo. also coming up thousands of faded and dr. us have become indispensable that the germany's head system hospitals now here, major shortages if they decide to return home. and the democratic republic of congo fire as a lawsuit against the african nation. so as to tech giant is using a legally mind to many of those. and it's devices.
