The new way of mobility what is car sharing brings more cars into the city thats a preposterous waste could the private car sharing be an alternative or what if you do want your own car a fully electric one. Thats one of these you could challenge going on the tricks and matter of the heart or the mind. Today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but 2 lets say i play on cooper aristide or the cooper the take out go to they stack up. Sometimes when i am not ok like in a down i just get the no use in place and then flex it up before hitting drives an elaborate in futile keep talent. My fist full of decisions read will help. You would some of them starting right now. Our cities are packed with cars and the streets are getting fuller. Germany alone has 50000000 cars on its roads and naturally gear is set to continue rising use 50000000 cars are used on average one hour a day thats a preposterous way. Could car sharing be the answer to that and if so what kind of car sharing. So on doesnt have a car when he does need one he calls up the truro app to find a privately owned car nearby that is currently not being used. As. He prefers this option to commercial providers. I mean for the other. Areas that have to buy or build new cars or we have already so many cars and not enough parking slots and the owners of private cars already have a wall and the number of cars available via the likes of 2 rows on the up. You can hire everything from the no frills compact for 22 euros to a slick new tesla for 150. Firmly convinced that the more cars the more privately own cars are available the more families in particular in inner cities who are already thinking who are really need a car. Getting rid of a car because they can always easily walk and attract a car for the weekend or even for a day if they should need one. For his little day out sun has opted for a High Performance wagon. He tracks down the owner nicholas via g. P. S. Its. Nice to know you are doing that saudi you go there is the key us thank you. Thats to a whole chicken process from yeah well go around the car look at everything you have a very good. Nicholas doesnt use his audi on a daily basis and hes happy for the car to help pay for its own costs i think youre of advantage as you are able to rent something thats kind of unique and i would say you rent a private car to go a Long Distance or visit relatives to do it like a little holiday trip the free floating concept is probably more than just you know go to the movies or go through somebodys just a quick you know 20 minute drive turo earns 25 percent of the rental price with insurance including customers pay for their own fuel but private car sharing has yet to really make an impact on the Market Worldwide tural has only around 350000 cars listed and in germany a paltry 5000. By some distance the most popular concept is one way or free floating harsh air. Via an app you can reserve a car in your neighborhood drive it around and drop it off wherever you like the cost in germany 20. 00 to 0. 30 a minute so easy way to go to other places here its easy to see its convenient to go for example in the evening to a Party Location party hard and then go back home if you dont have to when you go back home you dont have to care about your own car germanys big 3 carmakers dominate the countrys free floating Market Worldwide mercedes and b. M. W. Have over 4000000 Customers Using their joint share now venture and theyve been joined by v. W. Which launched its all electric we share system in 29000. The auto giants promote car sharing as a clean Mobility Solution for cities. Joining us. The new way of urban mobility. According to share now car sharing helps cities to significantly improve problems such as emissions traffic or parking. Except thats simply not true as shown in a range of surveys. One study was conducted in cities around germany to determine whether free floating is likely to reduce the volume of privately owned cars in fact the number of drivers owning their own vehicle increased despite car sharing. Plus there are the extra vehicles introduced to city streets by commercial providers 20000. 00 by b. M. W. And geimer alone. And others are joining the bandwagon with little regard for the environmental impact. These and other factors have seen the number of cars in berlin increased by 100000 a rise of almost 10 percent in 10 years. And thats despite berlin boasting an excellent public transport system car sharing has taken its toll here too. Research has revealed that car sharing users continue to drive their own vehicles to. At the same time theyre now riding on trams buses and subway trains less frequently. Free floater cars tend to be concentrated in downtown areas the very parts of the city where you could most easily do without a car. The stats show that carsharing users drive 5. 8 kilometers on average a distance closer to that typically covered by cyclists then by private car owners. And as they pay by the minute users tend to up their tempo so free floating car sharing is not exactly a viable solution to an urban mobility issues. Private car sharing could be from families going in a day trip to the countryside to current these lists eager to try out a particular model it would mean cars already on the roads being used more efficiently. I think it would be born here in germany i think tomorrow. The principle of sharing and not of a car of the status symbol i think. More people will get used to. To share of a car with all the people lets hope so right now just 50 percent of people in germany would be willing to share their own car with almost half refusing outright many fear their car getting dirty. Smellie the target group is those with a different mindset we speak to those car owners who basically say yeah it doesnt make sense that i own a car and i like owning a car but honestly i really dont need it all the time either i dont need it on the weekend or i dont need it during the week why dont i share it with others and then maybe maybe i can make some money with it on the side and subsidize some of my car payments by making that money and plus i think im doing something something thats good and sustainable it just makes sense to share. A good to have you back a how is the trip was very nice a nice car there for people were checking and remember the gas tank is right where we had a perfect thank you very much. Its not a question of 4 wheels bad as such the vision is simple sharing your set of wheels. People have learned that they can share real estate people have not learned that they can share a car you know you buy a car and the moment you drive it off the lot from the dealer its worth half as much as he paid for it and people sort of have grown up but thats thats normal if you own a car you so have to live without so the main reason why the phenomenon of toro or private car string isnt yet more widely distributed is just awareness sharing his shifty peoples attitudes to their own 4 walls private car sharing is now set to change attitudes to our own 4 wheels and maybe lead to a radical rethink of both urban mobility and property in general. The issue for electric car owners is where can i fill up how long will it take and how far will that charge take me. Range anxiety just. I have to spoil the ride. Not with these 2 models at least the audi each ran. And the key here in the arrow. Although being a much trickly powered is about the only thing they have in common price wise theyre certainly in different leagues while the keel will set you back around 35000. 00 euros in germany the audi will cost you at least double that so what do you get for your money. The kia comes in a compact s. U. V. Body with a length of 4 meters 38 it follows some way short of the local grassland x. But trumps the jeep renegade. Despite those compact dimensions the key is still has enough space to sit for adults and the 450 leader truck beats that of its rivals. Have been an electric car also means a smaller motor and no transmission or exhaust. Cuts the battery is stowed under the floor all of that frees up more space for passengers and cargo. And just the engine compartment needs precious little cooling the radiator grille is closed up and dancing the cars aerodynamics. Once youre on the road another benefit of the cars becomes rapidly apparent theyre nice little movers. Are near 0 was fitted with a more powerful 64 kilowatt battery output to 150 kilowatts and the chunky 395 newton meters of torque are available from the. Cells zipping along country roads and overtaking are absolutely no problem. Another plus having the battery down under lowers the center of gravity raises the cars road hugging abilities. Highways however are not the ideal habitat for electric cars they have an electronically limited top speed in the neros case 167 Kilometers Per Hour but if you do push the pedal to the match old youll soon have to think about where the next charging station is. And thats where there is still a problem for longer journeys germanys Autobahn Network is hardly a world beater having to charge up every 300 kilometers could leave you stranded in a supermarket parking lot. But for short urban trips or the daily commute its not an issue. Regenerative braking means that in and around the city your range can easily go up to 454 meters. The rate of discharge depends on the station that she could get a full charge in half an hour with a capacity of 100. 00 kilowatts but often just 11 kilowatts per hour are available. There are a growing number of 50 kilowatt stations translating into a charge time of one hour max not bad at. That time could drop to under 30 minutes with the audi tron thanks to its 95. 00 kilowatt battery and a theoretical charging capacity of 150. 00 kilowatts. But germany needs more charging stations like this one on the outskirts of hamburg it has a maximum rate of 350. 00 kilowatts. The question is why is this 1st class facility located next to a Garden Center with some real think about it wasnt our idea the operator likes the location so much they built the biggest facility they could here we have 2 highways right by our door and were in hamburg but right on this. Other niche so we have highways to braman and hanover right close by. We go on a trip around hamburg in the audi which is a completely different experience to the. Well the new role is pretty nippy the tron is a powerhouse with a curb weight of 2 and a half tons its some 700 kilos heavier than the key. On the other hand you can enjoy the benefits of a fantastically constructed body and air suspension. The audi positively glides along. As with any Car Energy Consumption rises exponentially with your speed and the audi engineers made a massive effort especially with the aerodynamics for example among the optional extras are outside mirror cameras which extend your range by up to 4 kilometers and are a source of pride for the designers its just one reason to try to xining these virtual wing mirrors was a huge challenge what really made it fun was having to have this element fitted on to every show car over the last 10 or 15 years but never being able to introduce the mirrors to production models. And what it challenge of was the team had to keep the mirrors lens protected from dirt and using a special wind tunnel the aerodynamics were off demise to ensure that it remained unobstructed even in heavy rain. Saving energy and only areas was the priority for the audi engineers including the brakes each wrong still comes with conventional brake discs putting 90 percent of cases slows down using the electric motors the effect is like that of regular brakes meanwhile the energy from deceleration is automatically fed back into the batteries. And the results are impressive. In regular traffic conditions away from the highway the audi could just about reach 450 kilometers on the one charge. Economy is calculated in kilowatt hours in the case of archaea around 20 per 100 kilometers with the audi its around 30 kilowatts and no wonder not one but 2 motors for all wheel drive and an output of 300 kilowatts make it a power guzzler so what does this electricity cost not an easy 1. 00 to answer given the different computation models on our trip it ranged from 0 at a public charging station to 64 cents per kilowatt the latter would translate into 9000. 00 euros for 100 kilometers for the audi nothing to sneeze at. But overall we found the key in the aero to be a very well made a car the big drawback is that theres a waiting list of almost a year the audi is tricky sure theres the outstanding comfort factor making about a deal for long journeys but theres room for improvement on the charging front but one thing applies equally to both theyre only genuinely clean if their power comes from renewable sources. Like a different kind of Winter Sports taking a jew and see us for a spin in swiss alps. Today is a great day because i will be testing not only one car but 2 and the of these are the same same but different what does it mean were going to find out in a minute. Wintry conditions make it tough for manufacturers to find suitable locations to show off their cars. Thats why they choose places like this one right here in davos switzerland. With the weather is good. Nice place to have some fun in the snow. Last coupe rather it came out with a c. Out low at the front end of a brand of say odds and then like splits off from c. S. And the cars following one of them just called cool probably like the cool broad take that im going to test later on but now for this one its the same on r s t and i must say its really fun to drive 300 horsepower to lead a t. S. I. Engine 221 kilowatts really nice i mean i cant like put the pedal to the metal right here because as you can tell mistreats us no way and that will be quite dangerous but well going to have the possibility to check out the cool r s t a close trick later on and there we can maybe put it to its paces really looking forward to that. So lets go. See all wheel drive comes in super handy on the icy snowy ground a little push of the gas going to occur in the room starts to shake each budi. 400. 00 metres of tour to kill you all from 0 to 104. 9 seconds at least if you screw traction expedients out a 250 kilometers an hour but that should definitely be enough for almost every driving situation. So all right you know were sitting in the car the cooper a take this was also the 1st. After becoming a brand on its own mom. Last take it has the same power. Of course because its the same engine and both got that engine from b w g t i. Take almost as much fun to drive the neon coupe. But its slow but really noticeable i think guilty and even hop a 2nd which you do notice though is that the car leans to the outer side of the curfew of driving and if youre driving a little faster its clear because you have to cut higher than the neon but its still its still ok. Just likely youll be out to go also has a wheel drive on top of that its equipped with a newly developed 7 speed tool clutch transmission is standard equipment. At a base price of around 44000. 00 euros its about 6000. 00 euros cheaper than the old was when it was launched. Great. Really really great my verdict on both i like them really much both of them but if i had to choose one it the. Reason being i love station wagons and if i want to drive a sporty car then i also want to sit low close to the road this is not given in the take its creates an s. U. V. But i think ill just leave this one aside and then take this one for another spin. For those who want to do their part to protect the environment cooper will be launching its High Performance plug in hybrid s. U. V. For mentor by the end of 2020. Sometimes when im not ok like in town i just you know you see places and its like that happy for me to sit and extend. My name is a man who but i thank you. Tropi its my horse my. Suffering guy who took some bacon that 2009 after the fact that some of them can eat meat for teeth and switched to cuba. From becoming more popular. So. I would get into the Garden Center where i used to about it as if the tactics and dry as you can see this from one of the texas parks and frankly so. Since one of the. That use of the i. Feel right showered with you they say to get my head out of your mouth people im not going to their traditional me tactics things because. What they have they have its own become good in all different thats why they fight when they see it. And then by driving plate and you know i tank you something that just did a very good it doesnt mean it doesnt separate. I know you know it he said oh. No only the gravel because. Its nice you get to meet lots of people thats of different people but also of the same proud sometimes if you know you dont know when youre picking up and do you sometimes with chance and so being robbed of being nagged or something something of that sort you know thats. Thats the downside of. Listen to Classical Music you know and kept telling you. We get that from 5 music radio 11. 3 so. It makes me kind of mind traffic you know they played nice Classical Music that so it makes things simple for me and. You know most people also there the class that i take a liking to also discipline extend. Must leave the same when it comes to them you know in the morning unless im for that meetings or whatever. I mean its here its a beautiful thing to everyone else that i found out you know i have different people from every country people from all over the way they always say the same thing that its one of the best scene. And lets create that occurred for comment on this of matthew and me if you think of all the way you know to get out for 15. Enjoy yourself eddie and see you all next time on rav. Were removed.
