to use become close in a cruise geo political conflict. when, oh you should us on the run starts december 18th on d w. the if you want to get away from middle, you can take a plane or if it's something more environmentally friendly to train. mobility is this week's topic on need 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 are also in today, so he's stumbled for a ride for jump. seekins jenny, chuck drive as one is it electric vehicle, batteries, repair instead of replacement and underwater. robots pass,

end of the marine animals the process of just one of the most sustainable ways to travel. the boss is much cheaper like top price and budget, so $48.00 to $6.00 bus has been dominating into a city bus, traveling europe's at some time. now, you're already now in the biggest bus markets on earth. from now, the company is expanding beyond folders and exceeding expectations. you can see it as a country, but it's actually not germany listed, it's 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 operator as people tend to think. so what we propose to best companies now all across the bill because they focus on the operations and we are the technology layer. in that sense, we develop the technology for metro planning for pricing, for marketing, for operations, for customer service, and then the probably the little bit based on this business model combined with leveraging dates around the electronics is allowing slicks 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 cover all of germany. now, thousands of slicks buses linked up more than $5600.00 destinations and $44.00 countries across full continents. that some bishan to expand has not been without its critics 16 buses gross to become the world's largest interest

city bus travel company is impressive. it's also race concerns about fair 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 are quite greyhound lines. the largest long distance folks operates are in the united states unflinchingly, at the discount price. we always say the a pro competition, we open markets, no battery is and of course irregular 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 2020 full flicks made its entry into india. the subcontinent represents an enormous opportunity for the company with india becoming a global tech hub. by you guys, i would say to china, the largest bus market. it is a lot kick, which is

a bad process used as the backbone of people cutting it out. so a lot of money and investment going into creating rid of drawers and right at invest. i've checked with rapid expansion, the workload on dr. as has increased, click so space criticism a 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 $200.00 a month. chile, india, mexico. a 6 percent is diverse markets. the company faces the complexities of during regulations, cultural nuances and operational challenges. tina 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 if can cheat,

if we have to be achieving and company and in germany, they 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 your so report customer use solving and what do you need to do for that kind of thing? that is, the biggest challenge is that you have an idea of what sort of market has bigger. so now that you can see it as a country, but it's actually not, it's was most much more than many market bases 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, fix handles the tech infrastructure. but how does the 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 often. at this point, the flex 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 to social mobility. are you looking for a job? digging for a job exec just minutes writing applications, and then waiting. and then you finally get 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 hovering at around 50 percent. everyday essentials are getting more expensive. economic

pressures make it even harder for unemployed. people like a live scene. cheese of 21 year olds, university graduates living in istanbul, financial issues 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 has to use public transportation to get to job interviews. but the travel costs are high, meaning she can go to as many as she would like. i can't use my student called anymore because i graduated the 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 a leaf public transportation costs can be

a barrier for job seekers. for at least it's already a challenge just to get to the job interview is done. both 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 that and drop off to us and prepare them for the entities i am on. the 2nd goal is to reduce unemployment and assemble. a beef 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. her interview was short. so it went well, but 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. to 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 dc found that 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 front of me just use the same to front, the blinking, but at the on the other side to make it more affordable. me to amend long term effect. if it's very important for us on probation of what level of public transport in terms of it is uh, accessibility in terms of 20 times in terms of service quality in terms of a total of the schedules or 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 up 5 means. do you think 3 transportation for a job seekers is a good idea? the driving the truck alone on a country road tool,

this 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 pays a boot. it's no one did as a shortage. one company is currently looking for drivers in eastern europe. how about 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 in highland south, west of berlin got things all. it has a lot to do with the salary that plays a big role, of course, for the one that i do next. how do you love this one of the problem, birds 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 guide is to 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 their resource rich country. it's nearly impossible to find drivers in germany. poland and the czech 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, the an average age of 26 to the site. that's why there's relatively high use unemployment in some parts of the country, about luis pad, forehead, and 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 vocational school teachers from whose back is down have come to visit their looking at german

companies and want to help their students find training in germany or the loved reports on his experiences. germany has now signed that migration agreement with respect has done this simplifies many things happen. berg is already planning to start training. they are it yet that will help the job training will re training to run most meet the noise. this will be able to get done and driver's 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. training as ease because i'm of practice is reversing. the instructor is pleased with how you did very well. thank you. 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 inspect his stand. 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 part 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 guy. 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 uri of 3 different dfcs, mostly on uh, with defects on high alt assistance the cdc and with this overseas. but they fix the to the vanya and is 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 kilo 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 simular prose, about typically 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 we're air can get out. water could have gotten in ok, we're leaking here and here leaking here. so we have leaks of to positions.

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 a manufacturers when he notices specific parts failing more frequently. we can see traces so forth, or this is 100 percent. what the english 3 is and so forth. are full folder. now the just assembly continues until the battery module can be taken out. it's the final step in assessing the ripper ability. usually find you 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 a complete oxidation of the order over 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 cells and the entire modul. 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 thing to repeat? because you can find only almost olsby of parts. and you can go even to test lined

by some spare parts for the bucks to pick which you cannot deal with. i say it has basically been w. according to vanya, it's not even the battery that fails, in most cases. just one out of 10 cars that come in the, the battery modul repair. many more issues occur on the drive unit for other high voltage parts. like this smart 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 on written you've 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 smart liam charges $8000.00 heroes and recharged for $1800.00 of your tax? very i was, there are some other examples for example, but they fix deathless charges for $16000.00 total. we charge 625000 the plastics p us charges $14000.00 a little for the monthly fee. the notary period waiting period defense for $1000.00 to 2000 pay. what was the for the and the customer. about a 3rd cheaper than the 15220000 euros. a manufacturer would charge you. so batteries in a these can be repaired and it 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 is to reach the locations they need to. now there are new technical solutions. the only thing by bought that a model don't 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 can enter faces, and there are networking solutions for ocean monitoring. so far, this manager rate is just a prototype that shows up some of the companies capabilities. especially when you

take your fish and apply pressure to its flank, 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, a fish bone. we love the beauty of nature, it's forms and it's a static and the functionality behind it all the time to but it's not as an end in itself and vision model. there's a technical purpose for every things and comes class i take some of these appliances are shaped to be extremely dynamic. home themes, livingston um they have a very low drag and water and gusting and guns vanish and i get used has 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 add on

domain as a whole new website. these type, 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 the weather 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 an onboard computer uses a i could even help locate last items to the bill. here 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 on a rope boat and would let it down to see how deep the water is lie. but of the time

it took them to navigate the boat to the next stop us both and we're pretty much done with the whole job. so 1st start doing this all the by the right, the square a lot more flexible and faster as this goes into it's lexi law. these days of a laundry, it's 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 countries, 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 just kind 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 is with china, russia that involved maritime solutions. indian mission,

maritime safety is a big topic and he says, we have to deal with it here in germany and in europe too much money as a wholesale homeless and 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 on like so nobody, it can dive and collect maritime and environmental data from great depths. the it can be secured by remote control or travel autonomy. so it's another high object solution that's gaining interesting industry, but also with police and even the military, the not 6 for another edition of may where it's all about moving to see maybe your next

trip you'll take the bus pull, your city will help out with your job search, all your battery will last long to pull. you'll simply dive into the next edition of main. so you next time the, the, the,

the city is hungry for the future. in south west china. 32000000 people live here. many of them are young and under my parents wanted me to become a civil servant, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job of being stuff. making money, having fun with nice little been shown to me. in 15 minutes on the w respect, it's own about what can we have and fixing nature. that's right, sandra,

us say the value of the also rise starts january 18th on the w. the . this is the w news live from the land, russia arrest the suspect for the killing of a top general investigators. the legend was that national shown here on russian state tv carried out. the attack also says the man was recruited by you, cried will say coming up, german diplomats meet with serious f, not l. sharah. the head of the, as with ms group, the, brought down the outside regime, the talks on the countries future. and phase of the rising, dest told, gripped the french territory, is mild following cycling. chito accost few is in place to prevent losing as vital fuel supplies run short.
