Wants that to be every vehicle they make. Switching to electric vehicle production hasn t been easy. One of the biggest challenges is the weight of the batteries. They had to reinforce the concrete and bring in new equipment to be able to lift them, and that meant closing down the production line for three months. There are several thousand new components in the electric vehicles, and they re also, what was very important during this time, was to also cater for the reskilling of all our fantastic workforce so that they could be able also to mount electric vehicles, just as they do for internal combustion engines. Unlike for cars, this move to electric trucking is going at a very slow pace. So what motivates a company to make such a big gearshift? hi, how are you doing? welcome on board. Thank you. Nice to meet you. I m hitching a lift from the man with the keys to this organisation. This company have been part of the problem for 130 years almost, a very long time producing. . . Certain

This week. What do you think, should we go for a ride . I think we should. Lets go. Alasdair keane strapped into a truck with a difference. But how hard is it to power a 40 tonner by battery . You can start with lots of robots. It is quite mesmerising to watch. Love a robot. I know you do. Plus from ten wheels to do but how about a scooter powered by gas . We have also been overrun by rats this week, but ai has a solution in its sights. And there is something weird lurking in the water. Hey those are my toes you are talking about, and they were freezing. If you leave them in their long enough they will become numb. The real story here is we are exploring the depths by robots.

Behind on the international Space Station. Touchdown. That landing coming at 11 01am. This is the moment the capsule landed in the new Mexico Desert a few hours ago. It had developed technical problems, including helium leaks, shortly after its original launch and nasa decided it would be safer to leave the two astronauts on board the iss. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will return to earth next february in a spacex capsule, after spending eight months in Orbit Theyd only expected to be there eight days. Nasa says both astronauts are in good spirits. Nasa held a Press Conference shortly after and told us more about the mission. Lets take a listen. Happy to report starliner did really well today in the undock, Deorbit And Landing sequence. You know, we use the Nasa Docking system for the second time on the mission to to undock from the Space Station. That system performed really well. Its a derivative system will be used for orion down the road. So it was good to pave the wa
Spacecraft has successfully returned to earth, but the astronauts it was supposed to be carrying remain behind on the international Space Station. Touchdown, Star Liner is back on earth.
