Hello and work. Today were going to have a look at this taxi for. The goal of the x e 40 isnt exactly a new car this compact s. U. V. Claimed the european car of the year trophy in 2018 and its fresh looks made the swedish best seller a real crowd pleaser. You can also choose a contrast in the roof color to make your car really stand out. Well whats new about the its the or to be precise because of the. 5000 and is the 1st plug in hybrid power train for this car according to. The round 250. Which almost almost sounds too good to be true. The plug in hybrid combines a 180. 00 horsepower 3 cylinder gasoline engine with a 60 watt 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 nice but you can feel the weight now the x. T. Faulty has never been a use beating all the stuff you definitely penfield the punishment stop exaggerating but with around 7. 3 seconds from 0 to 100 this hybrid combination when you when you races. That speed was never the point of this fall though what did they mean for this fuel economy. The hybrid system pegs the driving modes name to pure hybrids and power in your youll get all electric driving meaning because he was in the electric and its good post proof after 125 came of age and the range of the number but with white lies when youll both be driving the city. When the best reason i mean you can plug it in then charge it up or use the internal Combustion Engine to give the battery some additional juice in the house but this is the price to combine both engines in the most effective way its probably the mode you would drive the most in when youre outside the 30 year old were 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. Besides the 3 driving modes the x e 40 offers a whole range of Safety Systems. Overall has always been at the forefront of driver safety. Engineer kneels borland invented the 3 point seatbelts for the car maker back in 1959 the German Patent Office named the belt one of the 8 inventions that most benefited humankind during 100 years and in 1905 with head side a neat airbags of all the x e 40 scored top marks in the euro and c. A. P crash test. Emergency brake assist and active lane keeping assist come standard. Class cross Traffic Alert warns you of 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 these Safety Systems and thats not the systems themselves as they work pretty much flawlessly its the way you control them because to activate or the activate the systems we have to do so through the and for payment stream there are menus on top of menus that open up even more menus and i dont know or maybe its just personal preference then 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. Sleeping in the countryside probably isnt the best territory to achieve presumptions that are close to being 2. 00 new cars per 100 kilometers. Im not saying that its impossible to achieve those numbers by driving your world there. They most of the time in the hybrid we ended up with something close to the 708100 feet of meet us i so whats the verdict at a hefty starting price of 49000. 00 euros the x e 40 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 guzzle the gas but for running errands around town or commuting to work the sleek looking fall bulb will get you there economically and safely. In. Our cities are failing us. Affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where i dont need to worry about the machines and i hate. What can we do to improve the way we move in our cities to pull this race model joined us on a journey were 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. Thats 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 the boating 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 breathe. 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. Or brand environment is occupied with cars and nobody has the freedom to live in the city in a way and the future of the city is the future of mobility in a new way. The Global Design studio graphed is developing visions of our future urban will belittle. Its founders last click a bag in thomasville minds are specialists in urban planning and Sustainable Architecture of a expect future generations to have far more choice in how they move around their cities. The child of of us. Will probably walk quite some. Some distance because the neighborhoods will be without too much traffic jump on a car maybe that leads then to a connection that probably will take their child into the air and landed right on 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 of the separation of both cities that we see today. But what could take the place of private cars and emissions free highly flexible public transport system. Our urban. Ability could depend on vehicles like the move or the tech underpinning the mover comes from a german company. Its meant to demonstrate how one platform can fulfill many needs. For us 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 my drugs. Whatever. In germany carsick unused for 23 hours a day on average each wasting about 12 square meters in parking space. That is big as the typical german childs bedroom. In the u. S. Cities like houston are struggling to overcome decades of urban planning that is giving 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 bill. And that frees up space on the road so those costs. Shrinking vehicle footprints are just one part of shufflers mobility vision. This Award Winning prototype can carry 4 people to their destination cleanly autonomous li and flexibly in. This city will drastically change 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 the planes or the drones whatever too long so we need new spaces. Change transportation. If the near future digital network. Working will drive our mobility. Shufflers idea foresees people using Autonomous Vehicles from a 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 schiavo has done to his already becomes a look at me really afford to lose any more time. The generations of young people who will inherit our cities are already looking for quick and direct ways of improving our urban lives now we can do 2 things firstly politically become a challenge all politicians like me want to have a city where we want to live in where we dont just see cars and parking lots everywhere but where we can go everywhere and im not afraid better collett us secondly we can do it ourselves we can take the bicycle to walk to university to school with them by. The metro for the on the ground and we can take. 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. Is one change among many that are needed. We need the wall Traffic Management as well as the infrastructure as well. 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 driving all mobility is actually clean and full free why because its a search place where you can work with driving as 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 at the tysons in these to places while youre working they pay for the right so i think a city where we dont have costs. Has much more space for trips. Space for the people and i think the 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.
