to june, more thoughts now when the story in for my reliable needs for migraines, wherever they may be, if you want to get away from middle, you can take a plane off as 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 also and today showed a stumble, free ride for jump, seekins gemini, truck drive those ones that electric vehicle batteries repair instead of

replacement and underwater robots pass end of the marine animals process. not just one of the most sustainable waste travelers. the boss is much cheaper like top price and budget. so for 8 to 6 bucks has been told me that he took into city posts, traveling europe's at some time. now, you're already now in the biggest bus markets one. um, now the company is expanding beyond ford is under 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 stop,

right. 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 technology for metro planning for pricing, for marketing, for operations, for customer service. and they deployed that on a little bit vase. this business model combined with leveraging data around the electronics, is allowing flex 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 link up more than $5600.00 destinations and $44.00 countries across full continents. mathematician to expand has not been without its critics, while 6 posts,

as grades to become the world's largest interest city bus trouble 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 of quite greyhound lines. the largest long distance folks operates are in the united states. and fittingly at a discount price, we always say the a pro competition. we read 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 competition at the end bring the best product in february 2020 full flicks made at century into india. the subcontinent rep present to the norm as opportunity for the company with india becoming a global tech club. i in the guys i would say to china, the largest bus it is a lot kick, which is a bad plus,

is used as the backbone of people cutting it out. so a lot of money in investment going into getting rid of drawers and they didn't touch it 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 just during regulations, cultural nuances and operational challenges. tina is lots of in any europe the market. if you look at the mexico, this is like multiple of the times of the market of the u. s. in india, we have to be an indian company. if and she lives,

we have to be achieving and company. and in germany we have to be a drummond company in that sense, 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 you're solving and what do you need to do for that kind of thing? that is, the biggest challenge is that you have to have bought for the market has the biggest thing that you can see it as a country. but it's actually not. it's what's most 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, fix handles the tech infrastructure. but how does a local company benefit from this this is only in charge of i can't, well, it's 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 plan the

buses accordingly. not all of this putting 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 mobility to social mobility. are you looking for a job? digging for a job in the defense 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. that 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 c and she's of 21 year old university. graduate living is stumble financially. she is fully dependent on her family. she isn't entitled to receive unemployment benefits because she's never had a job to stumble this 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 a leaf. 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. the stumble 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 for the entities i am on. the 2nd goal is to reduce unemployment and a stumble. 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. for interview was short. oh, it went well because 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 so for our store. only city to offer free transportation to the unemployed. in budapest, job seekers can travel loans, public transportation for free, but they also need to renew their past every month. meanwhile, the city of cape town when 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 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 of clicking, but at the on the other side to make it more affordable. me to him and bump to effective is pretty 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 his many job interviews. 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 to 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 wonder there's a shortage. one company is currently looking for drive is in eastern europe, 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 it was 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 hollow, south west of portland, got things all. it is a lot to do with the salary that plays a big role. of course, all 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 it was back salary. the biggest challenge

for him was the german understanding of time. fruitless guy is to come show ality is the most challenging thing. you always have to be on time and 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 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 decide that's why that's relatively high use unemployment in some parts of the country about who we had for him. and i think that's what makes us a good opportunity then a win win situation for both countries throughout soon provide and then a full cation of school teachers from whose back is done have come to visit their

looking at german companies and one to help their students find training in germany or the loved reports on his experiences. germany has now signed the migration agreement with it was packaged in. this simplifies many things happened 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 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 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 factory, so with 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. and we have cars from all the uri of 3 different dfcs, mostly on uh, with defects on high alt assistance the cdc in 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 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 to make this technician simulate frozen, but typically, which is to check the voltage, we will clean. it's then we will open the pin house. no 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 on 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 for now, the disassembly continues until the battery module can be taken out. it's the final step in assessing the ripper ability. usually vanya spends about $1.00 to $3.00 days on each car until it's repaired, difficult cases where more trouble shooting 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 the have 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 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 spark, 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. $16000.00 total, which are 6 the $5000.00 the plastics p us the charges $14000.00 a little for the monthly fee. the, the monthly period waiting period. defense for 1000 to 2000 payables. so for the and the customers 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 mean 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 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 vin 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, there's 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, its forms, and it's just said x and the functionality behind it all the time to but it's not as an end in itself and visual. and there's a technical purpose for every things comes collaborative. some of these appliances are shaped to be extremely dynamic. foam explains livingston. um they have a very low drag and water and gusting guns finish. and then it uses very little energy to move ahead. it's also extremely quiet, etc. and kind of in 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 substitute, these type. and this is the company's best seller. so know about a small catamaran. it's being used that berlin's museum island today. the catamaran is using shown are 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 last items to the mill q. 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 the big crews when they had not on a rope mode, they 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 is booth and we're pretty much done with the whole job. so if i start doing this all that by the light, the square a lot more flexible and faster as this goes into, it's lexi law. these days, eval laundry x 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 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. enough to initiate the vic that's just kind of of course we're working within a framework of geo political and geo strategical developments to tell us for the home. there are special challenges in the black sea. the south china sea is with china, russia that involved maritime solutions. actually, again,

this maritime safety is a big topic that we have to deal with it here in germany and europe to you. it's a wholesale homeless and legal fees cut and also voted in this and this one is suppose to help with those challenges. the quadrant uh, maritime robot, inspired by penguins on like so, know about it, can dive and collect maritime and environmental data from great depths. the to 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 fits for another edition of need where it's all about mobility,

maybe for your next trip, you'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 edition of main. so you next time the, the the,

what if your country have hardly any drink with no fresh, most resources. places exactly that. yes, the densely populated switching states has found a solution of the country lost upon india. in 30 minutes and they get away with it. how does one become a target of online, hey?

tens of thousands of signed the lease rhodes social media platforms that go to a novice breakdown. you never take me down. the cyber bullying call town. in 75 minutes on d w the, the little guys, this is the 77 percent. the platform for advocacy issues and share ideas. the you know, or the side that will be a north of bridge and hatch. and then you get, the top of the applicants population is really fast. the young people clearly have the

solution. the future belongs to the 77 percent every weekend on dw, so you don't feel the same way you expect. and one's different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue was that's my so on fired or you think you kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable, or some port is nonsense. i wonder it was under the doctor. is there an alternative plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing worked so in the it's time you were asleep and was paying for it. and then when generation

now on the team you ministry is kind of fun. it feels like there's the rate the this is the w news live from the land brush or a rest say, suspect so the killing of a top general investigations. the legend goes back national turn here on russian state tv carried out via tasks. moscow says the man was recruited by you, cried also coming out. there is apple. it's resumed domestic flights for the 1st time since the full of presidents assets, a test flight lands in alaska was cool growth to lift the sanctions on the ation success of to the devastating floods that hit stains valencia region. people that all now slowly pushing their lives back together. there is a long road ahead.
