This is the new edition of the volvo. Ecc 40. What . Familiar . Maybe at 1st glance, but not upon closer inspection. Homework 640 read shot. Yes. So the streets in 2019 and after a small facelift in 2022. If now gets a bigger revision. Lets take a closer look at all the details, and lets try to answer a question thats been tormenting our car test for decades, volleyball is known for safety and full, swedish european engineering. And since the acquisition by and julie some years ago, everyone things, oh, how long will they stay . Swedish and not become chinese. Cxc 40 is based on volvos compact, modular architecture, platform cma. The platform can vary in width and length, but the distance between the front wheels and the pedals always remains the same. It can be equipped with combustion engines as well as hybrid and fully electric power trains. The cars that use this platform include the volvo, see 40 from lincoln. Co is 01. But g, leasing your way. And the ged prep is a now with a switch to electric cars. The question of cause is, is this really a suite is call or if this its a nice car with a swedish design. But lets come back to that question later. For now, lets check out what the x the 40 has to offer when it comes to driving the driving behavior. It doesnt offer any surprise, a little bit off on the steering in fast driven curves, but very, very small with right, good to control. Busy the exploration also, if i go up in the mountains, is very good. Although the car way small, then 2 tons thats not surprising when you consider that the twin motor version were testing has 110 kilowatts of power at the front, axels and 190 at the rear. Of the major advantages of the 2024 motto is the bet, sorry, the battery is now able to be charged at 200. 00 kilowatts and the battery office more range and combination with the new eddings. And so the x, the 40 can go up to 575 kilometers without recharging. But thats only possible in the extended ange version with a 185. 00 kilowatt rear axle drive. And a light foot board was not integrated this mon recuperation system in this kind of a vehicle is in front of you because were recuperated up to a 2. 5 meters per 2nd. And its best, no one in front of you with the car, just rolls down the hill end of the car in front of your brakes. This one recuperate stronger, as i just said, up to a 2 and a half and you test post. Second. If he breaks honda, you have to break joseph. Thats something you have to get used to the if you rely too much on the automatic breaking, you might find the gap between you and the vehicle in front of you closing too fast for comfort. Next to me, this looks the class he is the head of development of all electric Propulsion Systems for this car. Lots this cars, the 1st time 24 by fuse that is available with a rear wheel drive 25 years ago. Volleyball said, oh, we dont build a rear wheel drives anymore because front wheel drive is safe. Is this wrong . Ill just do the physics of course the same, but a lot of changes have happened. Soft fabric on the backrest, but with a little bit of plastic here in between. So if you have children with you and they are sitting in their children seats and they are playing with the feed and im hitting the seed and from low them, you can clean it up much easier. The interior of this and all future electric volvos is leather free. So panoramic roof of course is an extra charge, but i like the roomy feeling that it gets to the passengers. Like many cars, cxc, 40 offers the front storage space. 31 leaders fit in here. The large luggage compartment in the rear holds 419 to 1295 leaders. And there are more storage compartments under the floor the but now lets come back to our burning question. Look how much china is in this car. How big is the influence of the chinese model . Yeah, yeah and, and i would say that its a nearly 0 that called like the other mobile is that we have on the roads today is 100 percent developed in sweden. In depth and brook that platform is still locked in in the south and broke. It is of course, used in other cars, also on the, in the, within the daily group. But its european design, european engineering. What is behind that the car, the manufacturer to have the car in all plugged in again . For other markets its also manufacturers and china, in those 2 regions are the main components of the costs are localized. So it has to be produced local, 4 local according to volvo, the quality of the cars is a as a cold weather. They come from europe or china where a particular vehicle comes from will depend on import regulations and availability. The car were driving today comes from belgium and ar test or had a clear opinion about it. Its really a great guy. It drives good. Lets see, its a comfortable as well. The overall performance is great. The look and feel on the inside is good. You have to get used to the input Payment System and to the climate controlled in the in full Payment System. But if you have found that this nothing really to complain about. Unfortunately, i would love to complain about something, but i cant find anything. Sounds like both of those legendary suite is quality. I have learned that although theyre outside these cars that use the same platform as this one is not a chinese car. It is of the swedish car, the material, the quality of the overall look and feel the design, everything is just as you expected in avoidable. Unfortunately, also the price is of all volleyball costs, but never famous for being cheap. To be precise, the model we tested goes for 69200. 00 euros in germany. But for that you get a car with lots of safety and comfort features, a powerful power train, and an appealing interior. On the downside, the google maps navigation and infotainment system apps are sometimes a bit awkward to use. Easier access to them would make the car even safer to run is done. So i want you to name the move off. So number 2 was putting in no net fun needs. If im want the did it the only due to a sip of, youll see it was a long you want to use the menu item. That tool, did you want a thin woman to find proof listed ineptitude anymore. Say send this list, take the bumper. I want you to move law. So now model. So was a put you name. I dont. Yeah, those yankee might need to do that. So say the, the i didnt, id say then funny man is on simple a d, as in the me, came up it as my friday to city know when you know and that from the zip. Um, what day did it do . 3 sip of the simple circuit in the family as if more and its only made desktop i see is soft, gives you the level of the one we dont need the rest of the way. Its this one. Yeah. To go down the page. I dont see on the map, see if lets see a 55 seed newly itd be 50. Yeah. Thatd be a zip files. Okay. That these are the local long. Exactly. I did the image with the month, so i see it on the notes ive had to do was you lots of buffer seats the usual way. The lender to do much says is that is you can last read. This is indeed friends. Anything they have, the zip on screen says the fuzzy, the fan la mosley apple mail chip. Uh, lets see if we think this one has the phone. I will go on via a i me the and i me as all of wow, national fight gabrielle. The other 2 new to my way. My math. Yeah. And its the johnson one. And that youve been a john to have your name on it and it turned on my friends the on my down send gal 5th. That is usually what im update. The princess is advantage on to have like one informed me the of if what if they do then 20 most people do some of them being that extending whether enjoy that being said to be meant being one and to say said be do, lets keep the one product mean is so why are they to yank . You saw the sound teeth funding levels. So that was so you for so what you can do with netflix zante, what the system, the things you want on these and fees. Cool. And on stage im is if it came up from the the fees, the cars are a global phenomenon with millions of unique stories that could be in a german coffin. We need you guys wherever you are. However, up here with the question is now, where should we go . Right to wherever you send us your stories and your crazy car into vs. Lets catch up soon. On the with the click of a button. The wheels of change have been set in motion. 24, your video is breaking, gender, stereotypes, willow. So taking a step forward for the environment, see some of the 1st batch of women to be driving electric buses along whole jennys, out of the city of new denny. The. The bus is a part of an initiative by private company in waco, which operates one of the largest fleets of the buses in the country. High representative either that when im on the highway, all i think about is getting my passengers to the destination safely. Before that goes on in this transport sector accounts with nearly 10 percent of its total National Greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make liability greens and vicious targets have been announced. Im curious to find out how india can dekalb and nice economy well, creating Job Opportunities for the most vulnerable and modern life communities. And thats how women like video can be part of all that the new Green Economy has to offer of 7 man based on the problems start to, to the ask way that im capable of doing this job because its mens work, especially since i look through people both way, but im up for driving such a big bus. They say this is mens work, not womens. I think work is work. You just need to use it in cottage. Women like video and her colleagues need support systems in place to ensure that the transition goes smoothly for them. We got some of them in College Captains on board. We change them over and i love that training and beat into the goodness training. If you cannot afford, then he said that shes ready. Now lets do the floss to invest the date in the entire wood, which is really to walk it off and be gone. This whole concept of human pass and yours, the minute boats captain. Weve been came and whats coming in ma, i try to have focused on large scale reforms in hit tenure at the Indian Ministry of power. Simply by changing the economic model, she was able to create and lead the Worlds Largest electric bus program. With 5450 vehicles. Foster form was remitted, mobility was being provided now as a sub. So the incentive, the right place means private developers are the people who come through the buses are incentivized to efficient. This model is water allowed us to achieve scale. So suddenly, from 200 buses and where cities were ordering, 5060 buses, maybe 300 buses, 300 was the biggest number removed from that 25 and a half 1000. At the same time, motto also took steps to ensure adjust the transition. We all set the buses, be sobbing, neutral. We all set the o e m that the equipment, manufacturers go out and make basically try and make sure that you found the Greenhouse Gas emissions. And if you were to offset offset with projects in india, we made special reservation will category. In fact, take reservations for women. By 2030, the government intends to make both public transport electric. Dennis transport minister, kyla us cannot invited me for a glimpse of what a green ride looks like. 50 percent of the entire fleet, 10580 percent. So that in the middle east this would be probably one of the highest in the world. Im curious to know what kind of infrastructure had to be created to ensure the city was ready for green mobility and then is the one where we are. You find this for the additional risk vending more than the public charging station. We have 4000 feet and yet the sale of electric vehicles is still far behind. The share of eaves remains any one percent of the total markets. India has made it clear that this transition could be false to if it were provided with the right Financial Support from the international community. The, the n t p. C power station at dodge, we just on the outskirts of denny is powerless by coal that arrives directly from the mines located in east india. The Energy Security of the country and for most of india is economy still depends largely on coal on it to cost law. Who reminded me that Indias Energy transition must create Job Opportunities for people who are directly or in directly dependent on coal. Its quite exciting to talk about Just Transition as of global concept. In the end, its will come down a lot to how much up scaling and root scaling can be do for people. What kind of jobs we can offer . What kind of Green Economy constructs can be create and regions like these with diversified options exist for people. How can they be absorbed into agriculture, which is productive . Can you create Renewable Energy complexes in these areas . And those people can be employed, but these are all distributed ideas and they dont exist in any kind of policy and regulation. And perhaps thats where effort needs to be. In this transition to clean Renewable Energy will have a share of 10 inches bus. People like momma video and keyless, remind us that a new road is on its way the the van line motivated, the van is our home and our way of life is upon. It appears to be slightly unusual and it does have any challenges, but i like its literally nice chance to shape our lives, but its not as simple. Thats what it is. You think of the as the okay. Then show me she a name to be in this 1st van life, couple intent to go to london by then. They began the journey with the aim of travelling around the wood in the market, the uneven and have already seen nearly all of india states. And the phone of hometown is to assure it. And caroline, but it isnt just india that we can sit at home country because we travel is weve got all the way up to the portage and theyve called to the china buddha and to be tons onto the boat of me in mind. These are one of the kind experiences to have an experience for the no i for the ever since i was very young, i always wanted to travel, but my parents, sorry, but straight to the family as well as adults. So that desire that i have is a young girl to go and travel the world wasnt something i could follow on. I never believed that as a go. I could travel number in things changed of the occupant came in, not, but he was the one who said, hey, you can do it or not. And thats why weve been traveling a lot across india as a van live couple live in del, through thats out in front of the canada on comment engineer. Im an automobile engineer. As soon as my course was over, i moved to katara to start working. But i had no Job Satisfaction some so i quit and came back to india. And pardon me and whats the message we want to send to people with our travels and you know they will, how to live a minimalistic lifestyle in and not for everyone. Its pretty well and you can only adhere to a lifestyle if youre passionate about it, in the pen, this is our passion. And theyve been the best and that was a boy you then im road of you that we can see. This is the southern when we opened this do, the 1st thing youll see is off the edge of a model number, what we called a better way, like this in order to make the most of the little space we have to sun life for you and youre going to get all the electricity we need from the side of the panel on the roof of photo for now, do we need to think of the fact that im a woman and that we travel as a couple . It really seems like its only fun all through, but there are issues my safety for example, safety and hygiene to thats important if it is, is were on the road. We have to use Public Restrooms on option is im not compose issues that i all use. One of them we have to sanitize the bathrooms before using them all on the glass and traveling like this one needs to cook all of ones meals, the surveys, the challenge of finding a safe spot to do that isnt going to put on there on several such issues, but since were passionate about traveling, were able to overcome those obstacles to the number line weve proved that we can achieve things with passion funding. This is the happy idea to travel like this during the kind of attend demik at the time whose business wasnt doing well. But the initial investment we needed to make was huge. Since we needed to convert larissa on the into emerging market a whole month on board for i was able to sell some of my goal to raise to get the funds we needed on the phone funded the other than the gotta sit. Im on the dream for the future is to travel to london, and that is fine golardo to do with the plans all 9 good. And then wed dream of traveling across the whole world. But for now we working on project lines in the fall. We do need some sponsorship to make it happen. The other one, the sponsorship, the positive theyve also launched a website to help people interested in taking similar jennings. She a is an Online Mental Health professional. The money she makes covers the cost of scheduling the nuggets out in front of them and we enjoyed traveling one, but long term travel should have a sort of message associated with it too. So weve started an Organization Called safe, which stands for safe, a voice for everyone. So ive done with this organization, we have to help other people who have the desire to travel, but dont know how to go about it. Making their, im a rookie on the van is an 800. 00 c c vehicle. When we move and our desire is to travel the entire world in this man, not any other vehicle in that problem. And we want to do it in a minimalistic way. How many minutes take on that really is our ultimate desire line. Good, awesome. However, you get to enjoy the ride and see you next time on rev the, the, the, to the points clear position.
