The, 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 1st Series Production car with a hybrid drive train. The 5th gen is hoping to be as popular as its predecessors for pre if a is powered by 100. 00. 64 kilowatt plugin. Hybrid system that consists of 122. 00, the electric engine, and the 115. 00 kilowatt Combustion Engine. The, the system has a 13. 6 kilowatt hour battery. And with that, you will be able to achieve purely electric ranges of up to 84 kilometers. And that is quite a lot if you compare that to a lot of all the plug in high recalls on the market, those will have, like 65 kilometers, a purely elect, think range, or on the 20 kilometers small. That is quite a bit of clothes. If you take the car to the highway and speed with it, then you wont be able to achieve that by driving in the city and maybe on countryside roads. Then you have good chances of achieving that. 84 kilometers 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 is stylish. The redesign complete with a new lower roof line and redesigned front grill help it shed its previous some would say, ugly genes. When i 1st noticed, when i got into the previous, if 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 display because you dont need it is very close to your field of view. If you look at the street, and thats why toyota could afford to do that. It doesnt have like the sun shade over it, but despite the fact that the sun is shining onto it, you can still easily revisit. 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 by the, as you say, its a little sad that handle it, although can be used wirelessly, but you have a lot of us be sockets to ride here. You have 2 more 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 meet or 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, have you saw the deep to tell me the trunk is open. Okay. By that too loud, 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 back, but you can fold down the season and there is lots of space. So 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 pedal 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 then 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 mode, where the call would choose whether its an e v 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 can switching to review. Busy and then drive into those restricted areas, which is quite practical. I think the price is 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 long, so like the way it drives and to me its not a problem or that you dont have that much space in the bag 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 and 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 a, you know, a horse and buggy to rail, to ocean going bass olsteen 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 new this thing says introduce to turn 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. And 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 st space and maybe make some cycle lanes. It sounds a lot more attractive. This, they all the cars are going to start driving themselves and were going to make this new tunnels, this 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, 2nd only to housing. 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 mosque announced deals, promising to build underground tunnels for high speed travel in chicago. And Fort Lauderdale in 2018 in 2021. The either have been built so the high train is rolling, the Venture Capital is flowing. 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 musk in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms billionaire richard branson. The owner of virgin also got in on the fund 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. What 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. Undeterred by the failure of his above ground travel project musk optic to go underground with his boring company. Burske 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 at speeds of up to 130 miles an hour. Which became a one way tunnel to drive tests us through at about 40 miles an hour called the lute, which at least exists. You 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 in a in attraction for has was, you know, its a way to sell it as low as its not really affecting traffic. Its not really solving transportation problems. Its really, i call it a disney land ride for tesla fed. 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 trends, and it has been tested in could tar and australia. Its a quote unquote, trackless prem system that traverse has roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy. Thats right. Pretty much a 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 theres 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 or 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 translators, 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 into like 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, know, flying cars and transit researchers might be the only people on the planet who think the bikes are sexy. I have one right here in the background to tell i get the torque. 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 where amsterdam expensive network of bike paths. And theres always room for innovation. Like in many eine where cable cars help traverse densely built steep terrain. So it will take them much more than flashing animations to solve our traffic problems. Let alone curb transits, climate impact, deep billions and Venture Capital and sheep slip attention. These Tech Solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient. Real solutions, cars, cars, the phenomenon with millions of unique stars. Thats the dna. John coffin, we need you guys wherever you are. However, up here flex. Fashion is our module and jo stories our currency. Somebody over here. We found cars from germany and the craziest place. All across to this one here is, is all dictated from albania, that officially, that breakfast grad once youre sorry. And we try to figure out why we feel such a strong, emotional, only with this machine. Just story to ideas caused by itself and millions and millions. The news that counts and most of all the fact that makes us better, this video make me add all my buckets. Yep. Thats to all thing is love. So cool to watch. 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 z as lets catch up soon on ref, 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 affordable in pakistan, with prices reaching more than 300. 00 rupees or around one euro. I need to running into the bikes of this is charging the bikes really. And he takes to 10 of us hours of electricity and provides a range of 80 to a 100 kilometers for the actual e motorcycles to money. And if its more to say the maintenance costs to be motorcycles very low, its practically nonexistent or comes in. Well this is because the bikes have fewer parts suitcase. They have no clutch in gears and theyre fully automatic. Next thing has been geared in the automatic the carburetor and the silence are no engine. Its only a, its maam, its got 80 percent fewer parts compared to a regular motorcycle end of the monthly gall motorcycles and with fewer parts the parts come with there are fewer parts failures unless need for repair the its got but the lead of the then most of the fact that you dont use petrol and its a motorcycle, i mean, according to the that is lane and irregular motor bikes about a deal 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 wrote b, sorry, we tend not to think about this then in the pump. So the electron motorcycles a made in pakistan charging this motorcycle is simple just lucky to not home or head to either of the 2 charging stations in karachi, shell petrol stations. But well say signal for charging point the p bikes the cheapest around the actual pallet attempt to pump. 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 regarding afford niga cetera. Looking for the bike, like, lets say i cant, i bought a car and i want to buy a motorcycle may electric buy. Could i do or its up my car towed by and want a motorcycle to electric, bridge on a journey. And now i have a choice to go for a petrol bike or an electric bike so that they have to scan that. Thats why we offer in the bike for to research the company to the right to some of the 1st is it is, is that when we using the bike a joke, it doesnt have either petrol or diesel burning inside hickey o. D. U dont. So theres no harmful tale type emissions, skin which would typically be released by the exhaust that can harm the populace via air pollution. Its me and always be me. So what they used to be, but yes indeed, emissions for an entire city could be brought to 0 since theres no fuel being burned or 5. And the 2nd reason is that it runs noiselessly because theres no engine, theres just a battery and an electric motor, Something Like that. Well, e cause a velocity. No, it still is found that currently out of reach for the average person. State run electric buses provide Green Transport for correct cheat defense. The bikes could soon become another interruption.
