This is the b y, d at o 3, a chinese purely electric car that does a lot of things differently. But does that make it a better car . Well find out today. Welcome to ref. Mm hm. Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh, b y d short for build your dreams is one of the largest new Energy Vehicle makers in the world. Ah, the at o 3 has are really cool feature. That is, that you can change the direction of that central touch display. So if you dont like it, like that is simply press that and it will slip by 90 degrees. And then it turns the picture just like a tablet that you would use at home. And i mean, have you seen any other car that works . I havent. And ive seen a lot of car ah, for dinner or driving impression in the b y d at o 3 ease. Pretty smooth. You feel some bumps, but its nothing that you would consider a disturbing fact. So its quite a nice ride. The after 3 has a powerful 1. 150. 00 kilowatt output makes the dash from 0 to 107. 3 seconds and can reach a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. The exterior of the atto 3 has a fresh, sporty design without being tube future istic. With a length of 4. 45 meters, it slots in somewhere between b ws id 3 and id for the interior of the b y d at o 3. At 1st glance a looks quite cool. Pretty futuristic. The Steering Wheel fee, its nice and has some buttons for the most important functions as youre used to in most all the cars will take some getting used to though is the door opener because its right here and you have to pull it back like this to open the door, if you dont know it, you will spend a lot of time looking for it because its nowhere down here. Apart from that, you have these vans right here. Those look quite futuristic as well. They are a little loud if you close them, but you will not off he uses, so its ok down here you have some buttons for most important functions, for example, for parking assistance or the all to a whole function. But the highlight in the interior is definitely that huge touch screen right here that will if you navigation, then of course music spotify, da, be bloss radio. Everything you need. The only thing i dont really like is the fact that you have to adjust the temperature via the touch screen as well. Ah, one annoying thing on our test drive was that the lane assistance . Which warns if youre about to leave your lane is a little too motivated. Which means it sometimes warns you a little too early and narrow roads. Ah, the thing that makes me you id car, so special are the batteries instead of lithium ion battery said i use in most other electric vehicles nowadays they use a lithium iron phosphate batteries. And those are the only ones right now that can pause in the name test, whether is a nail driven through the battery. This is done in the nail penetration lab of the b y d subsidiary bin dreams, which is responsible for battery production. The so called blade battery pack certainly deserves its name thanks to its long plant shape density. The nail penetration test simulate short circuits. Batteries under extreme conditions as anal pierces a battery for the purpose of analyzing his performance in a situation in the industry, the test is the most stringent battery safety tests and caught up with the man in charge his dr. Chow lee. He prepares both the blade battery and an n c m lithium battery pack for the test. As soon as the nail is driven through the n c m, batteries, outer shell, the battery starts to inflate and smoke and then it explodes and burns at temperatures above 500 degrees celsius. In contrast, the blade battery emits neither plains nor smoke and its surface temperature does not exceed 60 degrees celsius. This implies that abs equipped with the blade battery would be far less susceptible to catching fire even when severely damaged. Ah, another test sees a 46. 00 ton fully loaded, heavy duty truck roll over the blade battery pack. Surprisingly, the battery survives the test without leakage, deformation or smoke. In the final step of the test, the blade battery is reassembled and loaded into a b, y, d han e v, and the vehicle still functions, but the blade batteries have even more advantages. So again, 1st of all, higher Volumetric Energy Density, e p. Thanks to structural innovation, your blade battery boasts arrays with a high level of integration entry or structural elements. This increases Space Utilization from 40 percent, in the case of conventional battery packs, to 60 percent, or even up to 75. 6 percent raising Volumetric Energy Density of 310. 00 some watt hours per liter. A main advantage of the blade batteries is that, unlike regular lithium ion batteries, they do not require cobol, which is already a rare raw material. For the Battery Capacity of the at o. B is, are all and 60. 5 kilowatt hours. And that will give you all 120 kilometers of her age. Those are on the same amount that you have in all the cars. In that segment. B, y, d invested around 1400000000 euros in the fin dreams battery factory and cha, ching, it. Now produces an annual 20 gigawatt hours equivalent to around 200000 battery packs. There are rumors that the blade battery packs will power, other carmakers vehicles as well. One advantage is weight mm. According to b, y d, or the battery sales account for 80 to 90 percent of the total weight of a blade battery pack. While in a conventional and see a battery pack, its only around 60 percent base current goes in at somewhere on 38000. 00 euros in germany and you almost not find any other car in that segment for that price. And especially with all the features you get in this car during the euro and c a p crash test, the ada 3 received the full 5 out of 5 rating and 91 out of a 100 points or passenger safety. As of now the at o 3 is based on 400 volts technology, like most of the other electric cars on there. But the platform that its built on also supports 800. 00 vol technology. And if this car becomes a success and the numbers allow it, they would also think about moving it in an 800. 00 volt version. And that would then mean the car can be charged fast and then it can be now the display here is a really small, it only has the most important information. So its really minimalistic and i think i like that. The echo 3 has a po, output of 150. 00 kilowatts, and it can go up to 160 kilometers an hour. That is not exactly past, but considering that you want to save energy, its absolutely okay. And also considering at least where i live in the area in germany, you wont find a lot of space where you can go any faster than 130 kilometers an hour because either there is some traffic jam all down some road works. Anything could be there, so 160. 00 is more than enough. All and all the ada 3 is a nicely designed car that offers a lot of driving pleasure and some well thought out ideas such as the rotating touch display, the built in guitar in the door. And of course the safe battery packs on the down side. The door handle is counter and today the Climate Control is touch base. And the lean assist is a little too enthusiastic. Ah ah, this is the fastest golf in bosnia. And this is its driver from best life. When i know dormant for know of how are you going that those will try to confirm some social net amendment of inch from to last monday. Perfect. Ive been involved with then as one that is my the width, his car to ever times to track times this beefy golf mark 2 is nicknamed v r. Its just recovered from an engine failure. And the team has set up an important test run. What are more thought, what i do is i get like the ruin this being vog department museum, him or thought of what is your for the fact that hes the voice and he still see it doesnt show me. Its the others. But behold, will be the feel. All the probably will tell us all of the points of what they show this on this and obviously a lot of you, but so i thought to bargain, then why bargain does International Even knowing who piss its that higher boost pressure that enables such monster power the team wants to get the car back into record breaking shape. That means programmer is, neil skills are crucial importance now. I checking is every single kid checking parameters. Ignition table feeling. Is it like last time . If hes here, we can drive with me before the final test we visit ad, non in tooth la. This is where the car mechanic lives out his the w patch. And even just the fact of having both then known, lived in germany in the ninetys during the bosnian war in 2009, he opened an Auto Repair Shop time for one last check before the test drive. The engine has been re mounted longitudinally after the water damage with a radiator placed outside the grill for space reasons. On foreign bond, hes go shooting it in. Oh, i involved in reading a model. I got the motor of i yet lane. So i walked on from all the throttle body shop by that the kind of house that garnished with allison about the strike was doing about complete complete corporate to sponsor for the week about i was raised these to be of home, this feeling for growth give leave there is just one problem still with the fuel house, but of course thats no big deal for these tuning pros. Ice and snow will do. For me, i wish we spoke recently more thought eviction is good. Another has invested around 20000. 00 euros in the gulf so far. Pushing the car from 75 to over 800 horse power. Thats its yeah, that is that isnt it by boston, molly molly said about to walk you how it is for me out of gosh, device will be or arms or all is it will be or your vote i was will be served before you get called really know how to dollars, jewelry about some for being up to stories. My stuff with non specialty is the quarter mile sprint. We are will be here in salon. The wife knows that of these working with annoying. Come on the right, the slides just notified. Youve also got this dom icon, the legal tool. So if youre going to buy your fault, thats why it will be the best buy this week. Is a, might receive a short form with and special used parts are, of course, not thrown away, but the treasurer with the stair broke the annoying swagger phone. The drug will continue to work with for adam and many other policy and a v w is to go to car. Adam has a long relationship with german cars. Yes, all of their go to the scene was going to try, right . As i, i live or so my, my last hug doing out those. Me see this fall. We believe i had the my here believe plow is via go to spots a bunch of follow to get us this thing off. We are for him. Im here for because he was coughing and just this week off and i still couldnt demo with my dog for fear my job. I did talk to quote that was issued by the 59 for the call from district used us. I was given a meeting for me, its time to head for the test track, an old air field. The testing kept up with the sizes sites out by the local. Ive been asked to do some, i guess the if youre gonna tell her that they cannot or she missed, hes gone. Its an affair. This finish over in the ones that these are that somebody that we are whom are these . We went out this i thought was it was the, the thing is to be the fellow told the dog give out. Mm hm. All is set for the dress rehearsal. Them in 2 seconds. Man flies from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour and just keeps on going. Oh good auditory with your soul. Im talking about before with the successful test drive bodes well for even more new records for our non and his golf to from bosnia with, [000 00 00;00] with my body shop to texas. So here with high. Yeah. Now with that, do you like to me more than one was funny and then we did it and then suddenly a party had you must live on the fun the take them when one thing for tunes and if that thing and got the didnt what this does not got what he thought, none, the less will not be ration that done. She fun union in relation to the relation of the tree for and i was i need a physical on the she was to be monogamous. That is my new fiber line in the, in the one all 3. Why dont i didnt want him to write in with me. She got the image in reason is like you and you get along. Im fine. Yeah. Me, mom, you did the wrong or last last i love to be in the my sounds like youve got the same. If not youre saying that yes you know dont was i just want to know what you love. One of the ones that are really nice in use of you what you were up is when you when you went to shuffle you do you didnt like she said yes. She knew long. Yes. Well we dont use the me a its my dream to travel as far as i want without polluting our planet. And i feel like were on our way there through. Its wonderful, human jump up, teeth was a lay has been in the air for 5 hours and hes covered 220 kilometers wide room of enough to us a layer on the 15th leg of his air. Born to it. If hans, his landing in color yay, in the south of the country, the tourist intended to promote his project wings for the planet with what, what a flight rochard rode. The adventurer and engineer quit his job to focus exclusively on his solar powered glider wherever he goes. His invention draws curious onlookers who want to know how it works with my glider, takes off on its own with his propeller. It may seem small, but its a meter across in diameter. Its powered by batteries and theyre charged by the solar cells on the wings. But this is laura or Charlotte Valley then theres of course victory was was the last been for 3 years working on the glider and put all his savings into the price of time. And chris went on from feeling. Im impressed since its very smooth. He completely integrated the solar cells into the with some children yellowish. Im an engineer and pilot and i have an idea how much work went into this. Its fantastic and it makes you dream familiar. Some feel of a dream of Climate Friendly flight without emitting a single gram of c. O 2 was ordered, the chris already happening. So rosie, you can fly law on because his preparing for the next leg of the tour, the glow for what its role to swell either ill fly to more police to peek. So lou or overflow hoggard bus pro lot. The engineer loves nature and technology. He used to work designing underwater robots once near the south pole. He watched a young albatross in flight before confessed. Clever little with with albatrosses in flight are fabulous. Some of the news they inspired me is i said, i want to fly like them one day him over to come. So its basically this yet. There was an a is touring france by air more than 2000 kilometers. Its how he imagines the future of travel or to a mouse, 7000 feet above most ami show. In many in the aeronautics industry, think hes nuts to us, it is convinced. Even jumbo jets will one day fly powered by the sun alone emission free z. If girl boy, of course its hard to imagine a boeing or air bus with solar cells to video. But modern photovoltaic cells will harness just 20 percent of the energy. In 10 to 20 years ago. It might be 40 or 60 percent on that because the but that group planes might be traveling just 400 kilometers an hour instead of 800. 00. But thats enough for domestic flight. Walsman law is ms. Recipient, is sheila phil doing take off inquiry. Yay it was a late demonstrates his invention, conventional glide is need a winch or a motorized plane to start at a loss of entity. But he was a man makes it happened to be on his own bed with my toe to false is almost over for the aviation pioneers, already planning his tour of europe to get even more people on board with the dream of flying with the power of the sun so out of a good flight and see you next time on rev ah, with no longer surging to the throne.
