This is the all new toyota prius, a model looking to change its image and attract new customers time to check it out. Welcome to ref. For sale, since 97, the prius was the teeth that by driving in the city and maybe on countryside roads. Then you have good chances of achieving that, 84 kilometers, quite a lease like some 70. That is quite a good figure as well, and more than enough to take you to your workplace and back without having to use your Combustion Engine. On the outside, this iteration of the free as a stylish the redesign complete with a new lower roof line and redesigned front grill help its shed is previous, some would say ugly genes. When i 1st noticed, when i got into the previous is the Steering Wheel has a lot of buttons, there are 13 switches that have at least 2 or 3 or even 4 different functions. And that is a little bit too much. Of course, on the other hand that saves you for having buttons right here. You have to touch screen to operate everything you need. And when i also always like you have physical buttons for the climate control, the drivers display is located quite high. And again, that is why there is no head up this day because you dont need it. It is very close to your field of view. If you look at the street, and thats why toyota, i could afford to do that. It doesnt have like a sun shade over it, but despite the fact that the sun is shining onto it, you can still easily read it. So it has a very High Contrast the Payment System is quite big. You have everything you need and what all do, i have to calculate, but they have to say, its a little said that and what, although can be used wirelessly, but you have a lot of us be sockets to ride here you have tomorrow, right here in the console, so more than enough to charge any smartphone you might have lets talk about the space in the back and a half to say the like room is absolutely okay. The head room is already somewhat difficult. If you are one meter, 8590. Depending on you, i have style, you wont be able to sit here without having to lean down the law or keep your head to to this is what the trunk looks like. Yeah, i dont know about that. I mean, to have you saw a deep to tell me the trunk is open. Ok by that to allow too long. Anyway, this is what the trunk looks like. 3 backpacks, 3 and a half. So i would guess 2 suitcases would fit in it. But thats it. Of course, if you dont have any passengers in the bag, but you can pull down the season and there is lots of space for the way its right here, is just to data. Of course its because of the roof line that comes down very low, makes the colleagues 40, but also makes it lose quite a bit of luggage space. Just the most of the electric all probably like to cause the toyota prius features of the drive mode that has higher recuperation. And you can also switch between 3 Different Levels of recuperation, the 3rd level. So the highest one is somewhat suitable for one pedo drive. Of course you need to press the brake pedal in the end to stop the car completely. But apart from that it works quite good. The. The only thing i found quite strange is that you can actually change the level of Free Corporation by a simple switch. Instead, you have to take a look into the menu that you can open via the buttons at the Steering Wheel. And you cannot change those settings while youre driving. Its only possible if the cost in still and i dont know why toyota did that because changing the level of recuperation is a basic thing. If you have 3 Different Levels, why not give the driver the possibility to change that while driving some pedals behind the Steering Wheel, i guess will a lot of other manufacturers have changed. The recuperation would have been Great Charging the battery of the previous takes quite some time or on for all us. That is nothing that you would want to do on the Long Distance trip on the highway. But if you put it in your garage or at your charge, ride home with your wall box anywhere, then it doesnt matter how long it takes. Whats quite nice is that down here in the center console, you have a button that will allow you to change between the e. V mode, or the auto mall is where the call would choose whether its an easy mode or not. And you also have a button that will allow you to charge the battery while driving, so the Combustion Engine will provide electric energy for the battery. That way, if youre driving, for example, on the highway, you choose charge the battery and when you come into a city where for example, the restrictions for Combustion Engine costs to can switching to intervene. Busy and then drive into those restricted areas, which is quite practical. I think the prices for the base model of the new prius started around 45000 euros in germany, with prices for the top of the line version beginning just under 53000 years, something up my previous experience. I have to say i liked the call, i like the way logs. I like the way it drives. And to me its not a problem or that you dont have that much space in the back or in the trunk. The 5th gen free is now rather sporty, both in terms of looks and driving and handling capabilities and the interior and infotainment system are a plus. On the downside, the recuperation settings could have been better than the limited space in the rear and trunk are disappointed. The transportation issues are nothing new. If you think of just the modes of transportation throughout history, this going from um, you know, a horse and buggy to rail to ocean going betsel, steam liners, air ships. So theres always been something new to try out that would solve some of the problems of the old and each one of those newest things has introduced its own a new problems. Todays transportation mix is no exception. The biggest problem is that roughly a quarter of Global Energy related Carbon Emissions are linked to transport. But thats just one of many. Many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic, and of course people dont like that. Theres also the high cost of kind of owning a vehicle if you have to do that in order to get around. And unfortunately, you know, in many places, Transit Services are not always the most accessible. The most efficient, even the most affordable traffic jams are so universally hated that theres a bunch of jokes and moves, Little Wonder that tech trains jumped onto the transit bandwagon. Big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype, fuel presentation, no matter what their substance were. Key and so instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in bosses and uh, you know, think about how we distribute street space and maybe make some cycle lane. It sounds a lot more attractive to say all the cars are going to start driving themselves and were going to make this new tunnels, just them for transportation and were going to have flying cars. Finally, investors and media, laptop, high tech, exciting new transit projects. And the company you saw potential to people spend loads on transit in the us. For instance, 16 percent of Household Spending goes to transportation. Second only to house. And while investors currently only have promises not results to go on, it hasnt stopped them. For example, you on most of the Boring Companies name that because they bore tunnels, get it, picked up 675000000. 00 in private capital. In 2022. Local governments have also jumped on board. Musk announced deals, promising to build underground tunnels for high speed travel in chicago and Fort Lauderdale in 2018. In 2021. We either have been built so the high train is rolling, the Venture Capital is blowing. Everything is fine and dandy to a Tech Companies have to deliver on their spectacular promises. One of the most glaring examples of hyperlinks, a high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by mosque in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms billionaire richard branson, the owner of the virgin, also got it on the phone. In 2017 and a virgin hyper loop announced plans to build overground vacuum tubes that would hurdle people at 670 miles an hour across the us, india in the middle east. But the closest these came to materializing was a single crude test in 2020, which reached about 100 miles an hour. Far less than promised. Costs were nearly 10. 00 times higher, and the test drive transported just to passengers instead of the promise 28. 00 and deterred by the failure of his above ground travel project, musk opted to go underground with his boring come. First, the pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels under cities were autonomously dripping pods with 16 passengers would sit around with the and that became a pledge to develop a system of so called skates, which would sweep electric cars across town. Speeds of up to 130 miles an hour, which became a one way tunnel to drive the test was through at about 40 miles an hour called the lute, which at least exists. He sold the systems to a bunch of cities around the united states, and in most cases they have not materialized. And then the only place where it, where it has, which is las vegas. Its a short tunnel that connects up the convention center. And its mainly just and its an attraction for has was, you know, its a way to sell teslas. Its not really affecting traffic. Its not really solving transportation problems. Its really, i call it a disney land ride for it has a fence. Western billionaires arent the only ones with techs, that sounds more impressive than it looks. China is autonomous, real rapid transit. Thats got an hype for being a cheaper alternative to standard trans and has been tested in guitar and australia. Its a quote unquote track, whats the tram system that traverse has roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy . Thats right. Pretty much the bus looks kind of cool, but not a transit revolution. If it feels like were seeing a pattern here, its because lots of these could be defined as gadget bonds. The transit term for an Exciting New Technology thats actually less useful than what its meant to replace. And then there is the holy grail of sy fy playing cars. Some Companies Like jo be, are working on what they Call Electric vertical takeoff and landing cubicles. Were flying taxes. Even the biggest luddites have to admit that these are cool, though they look more like fancy helicopters and flying cars. Toby hopes to launch these fully electric vehicles in 2025. They should have a range of 150 miles per job expects the average trip to be around 25. 00, meaning flying taxis with compliments, not replace existing transport network is and when these Tech Solutions materialize, they often bring with them their own set of regulatory costs and safety challenges or fail to solve some of the biggest transit issues. Ideally, mass transit should serve the masses. That means recognizing it as a public good, something flashy private innovation distracts from. If we wanted to do it, we could have been making investments in Transit Service and investments. Insight plenty of this structure and doing, you know, other things in order to address these issues. Instead of waiting for the Tech Industry to create solutions that were never actually going to solve anything in the 1st place, practical Transit Solutions that encourage people to ditch private cars are often a bit boring. While the electric buses popping up all over the world are cool. There are no flying cars. And transit researchers might be the only people on the planet you think a bikes, or sex. I have one right here in the background. Thats how i get the toward the theyre pretty under stated, theyre easy to maintain low cost. They enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing up sway or tired likes and busses are great local Transit Solutions. But what makes them really shine is dedicated lanes, like boca tons of bus expressway is for amsterdam, so expensive network of bike paths. And theres always room for innovation like emitting where cable cars helped traverse densely built steep terrain. So it will take them much more than flashing animations to solve or traffic problems. Let alone curb transits, climate impact. Deep billions of Venture Capital and cheap slip attention. These Tech Solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient. Real solutions. Cars are the phenomenon with millions of unique stars. Thats the dna you havent got then we need you guys wherever you are. However, up to your flick. Passion is our module and your stories. Our currency. Somebody. Oh yeah. We found cars from germany and the craziest place all across to this one here is its all dictated from albania, that officially never exist once, just sorry. And we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with this machine. Just story 2 ideas and cost by itself and millions and millions of news that com and most of all the fact that makes us better. This video make me add all my buckets. Yep. Thats to love so close to watching. Keep going. Well thank you for the question is now flash. If we go next right to wherever your sentence your stories and your crazy car into the lets catch up soon. Unwrap the conventional engine. No noise. Next, mike this is an electric bike. It looks like a regular motorcycle, but thanks night the v lecture could help sold specific problems faced by commuters in pakistan control has become increasingly on affordable impacts done with prices reaching more than 300. 00 rupees or around one euro per liter. Running into the bikes of is charging the bike for the any takes to 10 of us hours of electricity and provides a range of 80 to a 100 kilometers as far as an actual e motorcycles to money. And if its more to say the Maintenance Cost to be motorcycles very low, its practically non existent. Lot comes in. Well this is because the bikes have fewer parts, ok. They have no clutch in gears and theyre fully automatic. Next thing has been geared in the auto mind, a carburetor . No silence or no incident. And then yes maam. Its got 80 percent fewer parts compared to a regular motorcycle end of the but im going to go on motorcycles and with fewer parts. The parts come with there are fewer parts failures unless need for repair really. Its got but the lead of the a. Then most of the fact that you dont use petrol in a motorcycle. I mean, according to the thought is, lane and irregular motor bikes about a view and oil costs go to the amount to around 8212000 pakistani rupees per month. The bottom of the auto pay annually. This is around 100002150000 rupees a year. For 5 years, you end up spending around 800000 rugby, sorry. We tend not to think about this just in, in the pump. So the electron motorcycles, a major impact on charging this motorcycle is simple. Just lucky to not have a full head to either of the 2 charging stations and corrupt cheese show petrol stations. But also a signal for charging points. The p bikes the cheapest around. And then the actual power to counter tops um theyre also environmentally friendly according to reports by the send Environmental Protection agency, the noise generated by traffic which is up to 80 decibels. Tvs can help cub this tape. For a bikes them to mit smith quit chose to reduce this environmental pollution before the afford make us think about looking for your bike. Like lets say i cant, i bought a car. Okay. And i want to buy a motorcycle may electric buy. Could i do or its off my car, so you buy and want a motorcycle, electric bridge on a journey. And now i have a choice to go for a petrol bike or an electric bike that they have to scan the, the for the bike for to research or something each other. Right . So the 1st is it is, is that when we using the bike a joke, it doesnt have either petrol or diesel burning inside. It should have p r o d 0. So theres no harmful tale type emissions, which would typically be released by the exhaust 2nd harm, the populace via air pollution. Its been noise, we think so what they used to be by a st. Jude emissions for an entire city could be brought to 0. Since theres no fuel being burned, those items and 5. And the 2nd reason is that it runs noiselessly because theres no engine, theres just a battery and an electric motor or Something Like that. Well e, cause of also be known, shipped back is found that currently out of reach for the average person state run electric buses, provide Green Transport for karachi and e bikes could soon become another interruption. The undying passion for vintage motorcycle is an evergreen love for the joy of writing and an indestructible ball in this classic machine and mum by india and push real bad qu lava, in the sight of them by sundays, are sacred. Is when the vintage the rest of your invites is a phone day or the visa a, b, b meets for their weekly rachel, a ride through the city on their vintage and classic motorcycles that celebrates their shared passions. Ive been waiting since 1966 and i have own i have less come about 20 to but additional machines ive had in my staples, most of the banks and i enjoy i didnt even have gifts. In fact, it was power of keeping colleagues, collection of motorcycles that inspired the formation lighting the spark of an idea in the minds of po finders various sense ive been inspired fairly young in the motorcycles used tubing body was my inspiration as a young boy walking through the body, so you called me about, youd always see is sleep pump in. Theres motorcycle spots around the corner and you know, its something solemn. I go on at all. You but motorcycles that are maybe 67 deals or this was in pristine condition. But maintaining and writing pristine machines requires a specific packages. Its not for the faint of heart. When these does not want it done, but i enjoy it. I think its an exercise in patients. Sometimes its dogs sometimes before shape. And sometimes its less than others. Dementia and stuff as a visit, thatd be a day by then all sorts of stuff and, and the 1st one in the board see what his minds of things meant. Punishing it.

It wasnt that big thing that happened once in a way. And as the momentum picked up, as i bought in best with a few senior collect, goes, who shave the bachelor and i felt even more motivated, sundays a day. And by when everybody enjoys, when they do it said one day and the weekend, specifically in the morning on a sunday, if you go suicide moon by, you would see people are doing exactly what they like. So its basically the 2 a passion they decided to form a group where we could write together and enjoy together or set up thoughts in our bathroom a decade or so later the group has grown and number and scale and rarely misses the chance to get to straight their motorcycle, the fashion of employees, motorcycles, is pretty much an appreciation of things well, but its so easy to just sign a check and get a motorcycle today out of our showroom way, but to draw next and abs. And youve got, you know, a 101 sensors. All these things are done mechanically in your mind window and have in this motorcycle, you dont have all the sensors. The sense of that you, you can ask any motorcycle right though, is that theres a specific way that he rides his bike. But the person who owns the bike would have bonded in a certain way with this machine. And its the quest for this unique phone line that keeps these motorcyclists going things guys up on a sunday at 6 oclock. Their writing group has some of the rarest vintage machines in the country.
