Plug in hybrid combines a 180. 00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 children want electric motor and front wheel drive hybrid drive trains always add weight to a car thanks to the 2 engines and the battery and at 1900 kilos the x e 40 is no exception. Its quite right but you can feel the weight now the x. You told me has never been a review of speeding all the stuff you definitely penfield get punished when you stop the celebrating but with around 7. 3 seconds from 0 to 100 this side with the combination with you when you race. The speed was never the point of this fall what its aiming for is fuel economy. The hybrid system pegs the different driving modes name to hybrids and power in pure youll get all electric driving meaning the car is on he was in the electric engine its good post to go up to 125 k. Made and the ramp off the number which is quite nice when youll both be driving in the city. When the battery is any teeny you can plug it in then charge it up or use the encoder Combustion Engine to get the battery some additional juice in the house but the system tries to combine both engines in the most effective way its probably the mold would drive the most in when youre outside the city you. Are going to do with most of the time and then theres the performance vault where both engines are running in parallel all the time to give you the maximum performance for whenever. Do you feel the need for speed. Besides the 3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of Safety Systems. Has always been at the forefront of driver safety.

C. A. A. P crash test. Emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. Class cross traffic a load more into a vehicles approaching from the side and braking support automatically applies the brakes in order to avoid a collision. But theres one problem ive got with all the Safety Systems and thats not the systems themselves as they work pretty much roll the psni its the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do is follow through the infotainment stream they are menus on top of menus even more menus and i dont know or maybe its just personal preference and after a week or so of driving the car you will eventually master the system but personally i dont really like. Ok so the user interface of the infotainment system might need an overhaul but what about fuel consumption. For me for the really countryside probably isnt the best territory to achieve from sometimes that are close to be 2. 5 lucas or 100 kilometers. Im not saying that its impossible to achieve those numbers by driving here throughout the. They most of the time in the hybrid vault we ended up with something close to. 100 feet of meet us. So whats the verdict at a hefty starting price of 49000. 00 euros the x e 48. 00 with its new plug in hybrid engine has both the advantages and disadvantages he might expect on longer trips this heavy s. U. V. Tends to cause a lot of gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking volvo will get you there economically and safely. Our cities are failing us. Such affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where they dont need to worry about the machines and my head what do we do to improve the way we move that our cities are full but its very smart to join us on a journey where Architects Engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. Traffic chaos some of the toughest. Worldwide every day. There are some 47000000 cars on germanys roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. Past the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 despite growing traffic problems. Like lots of public transport with ok bicycle. And we see all those cars next to the universe to boating where people like the students basically have free public transport and they come by car and i think thats not good. All over the world urban. Traffic pollution is choking use of the air we need to bring. People around the world are demanding change. Now after more than 100 years is the cars dominance of our ever more crowded cities finally coming to an end the broad environment is occupied with crowds and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a more maltre way and that the future of the city is the future of our morbidity in a new way. The Global Design studio graft is developing visions of our future urban mobility in its founders last cook a bag and thomas villa might are specialists in urban planning and Sustainable Architecture they expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. The child all of us. Will probably walk quite some. Some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe their lease then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on the working place. Flying taxis could be a spectacular urban upgrade but probably not for the masses the biggest changes will affect cars especially our own private ones of which there are more than 1000000000. 00 worldwide. There will be no baldry anymore between Public Transportation and individual traffic the separation of both has a lot of the cities that we see today. But what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. Our urban. Billy could depend on vehicles like the mover the tech underpinning the mover comes from a german company. Its meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs. To move or could be used for the transport of people as well as. For the transport of goods during daylight traffic transport of people and during the transport of goods whatever. In germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. Thats as big as the typical german childs bedroom. In the u. S. Cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that has given more space to cars than anything else. The more you have reduced the dimensions of the vehicle of course we achieve that by moving the drive units into the wheels themselves placing the technical components as far into the corners as possible to make more interior space years a ball. And that frees up space on the road so. Shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision. This Award Winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomously inflexibly in. The city were aggressive as we share mobility if it is public or private leaving the possibility for the city to come back to the people meaning we need less parking spots. We basically need the cars or planes or the drones whatever it is too long so we need new spaces. Transportation. In the near future digital net. Working will drive our mobility. Shufflers idea for people using Autonomous Vehicles from the fleet working 247. These multifunctional emissions free vehicles to transport people and goods or provide services by sharing the vehicles people could free up huge areas of space previously dedicated to parking but are we really ready to have robots driving everywhere. And again schools are good it is the one major hurdle is legal vehicles like that are not really covered by the current legislation well have to make many adjustments to legal frameworks and the lack of Legal Security surrounding Autonomous Vehicles is putting the brakes on development that. Its done its really shocking because if you look at really afford to lose any more time. The generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for a quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now and then we can do 2 things firstly politically be 10 times all politicians like you want to have a city where we want to live and where we dont just see cars in parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and im not afraid better collar hit us secondly we can do it ourself so we can take the bicycle to university to school with them by. The metro for the on the ground and we can take part in a concert. The german city of outspokenness trying to get cars out of the city by offering free public transport in the central zone. Since january 2020 people can also take out a mobility subscription that gives them unlimited access to the citys fleet of bikes and cars the package costs around 3 years 50 per day. Its one change among many that are needed. We need that overall Traffic Management as well as a 2nd front. As well. As a Payment System a ticket system and things like this of course future mobility has to be affordable it might pay for itself with ads like the internet does these days. Just imagine that drive will mobility is clean and full free why because its a search place where you can work driving those you know its automatic you dont have to take care of that its shared with other people its connected so basically the people that run advertisements in these 2 places while youre working they pay for the right so i think a city where we dont have costs. Has much more space for our troops has space for the people and i think city with all costs can have a lot more opportunities than a city with calls. A city without cars for many people thats hard to imagine. But things are beginning to move in that direction the question is what do we want to do with the space when the cars have gone. Weve just got some traffic. And then you see these could be im a texan. For the past 27 years.
