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 him 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 close isn't just one of the most sustainable ways to travel. the boss is much cheaper like surprised and budget to operate to fix bus has been culminating into
8:03 pm
city bus traveling europe since 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 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, slicks 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 the deployed that on a little bit vase. this business model combined with leveraging data around the
8:04 pm
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 cover 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 fair competition. potential market monopolization and the implications for regional operates is struggling to compete. the criticism group, particularly loud in 2021 of the flick spots, the quite greyhound lines, the largest long distance folks operates are in the united states. and fittingly at
8:05 pm
the 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 2024 flicks made its entry into india, the subcontinent rep present to the norm as opportunity for the company with india becoming a global tech club. by you guys, i would say to china, the largest bus market. it is a kick which is a fed process used as the backbone of people cutting it out. so a lot of money in investment going into creating rid of rewards, invited invest 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
8:06 pm
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 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 german company, in that sense, through 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 deliver for that kind of thing? that is the biggest challenge is that you have up to it for, for the month. it has the biggest thing that you can see it as
8:07 pm
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 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 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 mobility to social mobility. are you looking for a job?
8:08 pm
digging for a job exec this 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. 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 c, my cheese or 21 year olds, 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
8:09 pm
job interviews. but the travel costs are high, meaning she can go to his menu, she would like. i couldn't use my student 'cause anymore because i graduated and i contacted more than 2 tickets. the 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. the entities i am on the 2nd goal is to reduce
8:10 pm
unemployment and a stumble. 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 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 redo the travel, pass a maximum of 3 times a year. to 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,
8:11 pm
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 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 interest in the front of clicking but at the on the other side to make it a more affordable, mid term and long term effect. it's pretty important for us on probation of what level of public transport in terms of it is uh,
8:12 pm
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 pays a boot. it's no wonder there's 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
8:13 pm
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 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 bergs 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 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
8:14 pm
has as fault and concrete plants and their 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 knots 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 on employment in some parts of the country about who we've had for. how do 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 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 yet that will help the job training for retraining to run most meet the noise. this will be able to
8:15 pm
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 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 his pakistan because he says, is home sick.
8:16 pm
mobility 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 on 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. we have cars from all the europe, with different dfcs, mostly on which defects on high alt assistance the cdc in with this overseas. but they fix the
8:17 pm
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 by the board. there is no communication sell 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. 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
8:18 pm
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 hear leaking here and here leaking here. so we have leaks on to orientation. 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 teresa so forth, or this is 100 percent,
8:19 pm
what the english 3 and so forth are full folder. 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 be done, can take significantly longer. we can see here, serious damage around about getting, 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 cells. but 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
8:20 pm
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 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 on the last one of the easiest not to fix the 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 been being 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 module repair. many more issues occur on the drive unit for other high voltage parts. like this smart d, c, d,
8:21 pm
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 flood battery. after extensive testing, one thing is clear for the 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 is worth, cuz 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
8:22 pm
$1800.00 of yours with tax? very i was, there are some other examples for example, but they fix definitely show just 260000 total. we charge $65000.00 barrel. plastics. p us charges $14000.00 a little for the monthly fee. the notary 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 need to break the bank. mobility is also needed to monitor pipelines, fiber optic cables and other critical underwater infrastructure. in the ocean depth, 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
8:23 pm
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 an underwater modem. so our radio and wi fi communication interfaces. and there are networking solutions for ocean monitoring. so far, this manager rate is just a prototype that shows up some of the company's 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
8:24 pm
it's not as an end in itself. miss him and there's a technical purpose for everything and comes collaborative. some of these appliances are shaped to be extremely dynamic. home explains livingston. um, if they have a very low drag and water and gusting and guns vanish and then it uses very little energy to move ahead. it's also extremely quiet, etc. and then the, the on the come with 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 deadline is a whole new substitute. these type and this is the company's best seller, soto bought a small catamaran. it's being used that berlin's museum island today. the catamaran is using stone, 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 more
8:25 pm
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 on a rope, they would let it down to see how deep the water is, right. but at 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 understood. so if i start doing this all that 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,
8:26 pm
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 the framework of geo political and geo, 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 and say again, this maritime safety is a big topic and then we have to deal with it here in germany. and here up to 20, it's a wholesale, how missing legal fees cut and also voted missing. and this one is suppose to help with those challenges. the quadrant maritime robot, inspired by penguins on like sono, body. it can dive and collect maritime and environmental data from great depths,
8:27 pm
the can be shared 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 see your next trip. you'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 sound side with
8:28 pm
a major vision to get more women on stage life. never in an instrument before. not a problem. ruth miller sounded the unglamorous music collective with a single goal to how she was the pump mom on d w. where is mohammed from northern iraq and he became one of hundreds of migrants vanish every year. somewhere in the no ma'am. the lines between banners and i'm afraid i'll never see him again. when, oh you into l is d w the
8:29 pm
really? oh you update the green innovations, super green and the super eco friendly green chimes. the holy grail of electron mobility. and green revolution global. so listen to all kinds of problems. to fix your is up time is helping the rest of those channels. we've got new videos every friday tried to plan. it's a new clean was like a stepping point. you know, pilots you into that warranty? one signatures. now you have a certificate from the train. you can just go back to somewhere else coverage. the more people than ever on the move from worldwide in such a base in life. so why do i want to go back to the idea? like, i don't have any reason to do it. there's no reason that's nothing for me this.
8:30 pm
yeah, delete something that is coming very, very soon on. we know when the story in for migrate reliable nice her migraines, wherever they may be, or the it's a special concert. ruth miller is back on stage at age of 61, appearing with her punk band, the marino said we couldn't do it, but we did. and she wants more women to do it, no matter what their age, even if they've never played an instrument before. she says it's high time for women, does it come for the stage? the
