of nature's grace, adaptive and living see to europe of trees. gold. jenny reset on d w. the 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 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 in today, so he's stumbled for a ride for jump. seekins. jenny, chuck drive is 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 for 8 to 6 bucks has been dominating into city posts, 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 as found on interest, city posts 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 to bus operate 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 vague. this business model combined with leveraging data around the 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 and bavaria seen enough operations expanded to cover all of germany. now, thousands of 6 buses link up more than $5600.00 destinations and $44.00 countries across full continents. that's on vision to expands has

not been without its critics. 16 buses grace to become the world's largest interest city bus trouble. company is impressive. it's also raised 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, a quite greyhound lines, the largest long distance folks operate to 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 2020 full flex made it to entry into india. the subcontinent represents an enormous opportunity for the company with india becoming a global tech club. i know. yeah, is i would say the china, the largest bus, it is

a lot kick, which is a fed process used as the backbone of people cutting it out. so a lot of money and investment going into getting rid of rewards and right at invest, i've checked 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 as 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. if can cheat, if we have to be achieving and company and in germany, we have to be a drummond 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 you're 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 than that. you can see it as a country, but it's actually not. it's what's most much more than the 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 on those, 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. the not often was at this point, the slicks 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 each of the advertisement, 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. 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,

covering 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 his menu. she would like i can't use my student called anymore because i graduated. the contract says more than 2 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 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 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 certain job office and prepare them for the interviews 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. for 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 for the good thing, but at the on the other side to make it a more affordable, mid term and long term effect. 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 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. 5 means do using 3 transportation for job seekers is a good idea. the

driving the truck alone on a country road to 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 pays a boot. it's no wonder there's a shortage. one company is currently looking for drivers in eastern europe about see 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 portland, that thing is all. it has a lot to do with the salary that plays a big role, of course, was the one and i'll do next. what do you love is 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 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 lifted him up there and then more than 60 was back . so started training, his drivers would pop in burke since 2020 the company has as fault and concrete plants in 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 knots so and it was back to stand as input lender. they said an incredible number of young people, the an average age of 26. and the fact that's why that's relatively high use unemployment in some parts of the country. we had 4, how do i think that's what makes us a good opportunity then a win win situation for both countries to up soon provide. and then

a full cation of 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 love 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 here that will help the job training will retraining to run most meet the noise. this will be able to get to them and driver's license as fast as i sign. 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 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 the, 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 expect a 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 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 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 with 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 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 by the board. there is no communication cell voltages. we have an old person defect. 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 several approaches 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 orientation vanya started reverse engineering of electric vehicles in 2018 back then its 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 or 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 trouble shooting needs to be 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 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 cells and the entire modul. but not all batteries are created equal when it comes to rep or ability. it is bought stories for repair 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 repeat? because you can find only almost olsby of parts. and you can go even to test lined by some spare parts for the box you pick, which you cannot deal with. i say it has basically been w, according to yvonne. yes, 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 occurring 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 flood battery. after extensive testing, one thing is clear for then 2 of the battery packs, modules are beyond the 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 is worth it, 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 to $16000.00 total. we charge 625000. the plastics p us the charges. $14000.00 a little for the monthly fee, the, the monthly 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 easy use 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 read thoughts that are modeled on penguins on month to raise developed by a german 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. so our radio and wi fi communication interfaces. 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 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 listen when there's a technical purpose for everything and comes collaboratively. these appliances are shaped to be extremely dynamic. home explain slowly most and um, if they have a very low drag and water and just in guns, we anything that 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 jonathan's and we're getting a very robust data connection. and it's all very environmentally friendly. and on top line 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 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 ends onboard computer uses a i could even help locate lost 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 the big crews when they had not 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 the by the right, the square a lot more flexible and faster as this isn't t, it's lexi law. these days of a 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 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 session discount. of course we're working within a framework of geo political and g o. strategical development 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 and essentially have to deal with it here in germany and europe too much money as a whole. so i'm missing legal fees. cutting off, coupled with missing and this one is suppose to help with those challenges. the quadrant maritime robot, inspired by penguins on like so, know about it, can dive and collect maritime and environmental data from great depths. the it can be shared by remote control or travel autonomously. 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 is made where it's all about mobility. maybe see your next trip. we'll take the bus for 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 or the

last blast. a story is going on there for a moment. be like, almost flawless on the label. i'm really good at the police police 14 monthly part of the best. they've got 3 equal payments or the gainesville support, basically, you know, they'll pull it up a little. that's the name of a few items already got to do with some of the ceiling. come with the effect of being in 30 minutes on the w gemini,
