Youtube daily vehicle Oct 3 2018

Hi guys! We are here to meet

the transport minister Mr Nitin Gadkari from central Govt

you know about him obviously

He has been very active promoting EV's

He has agreed to talk to us and

We will talk to him about EV's and

and his vision for EV's and

and mobility.

We really appreciate this opportunity to be with you today

and talk to you about electric vehicles

Mr Gadkari - Does your app have fast charging stations?

Kedar - There are fast charging stations too!

We should have latest technology of fast charging!

Mr Gadkari - What is the time for charging an electric bus?

Kedar- It will depend on the battery of the bus

We have a 120 kW DC fast charger

So maybe 2 and half hours to fully charge an e-Bus

Mr Gadkari - We have to reduce that time!

In Nagpur, we have 20 DC charging stations!

PluginIndia has a Youtube channel with around a million views*

Our viewers would love to know

what is your vision for mobility in the coming 5 to 10 years?

you have talked about this in the press

but it would be great to hear from you first hand!

We are facing economic crisis

because of oil imports...

we are also facing a big problem of air pollution

The country needs a policy to substitute these imports

which is cost effective, pollution free and indigenous

That is the reason, our government decided to give highest

backing for alternative fuel.

Electric is an option

We are coal surplus and electric surplus

it is a remarkable thing for the social

point of view

It is going to create more employment potential

The pollution is a big concern because of Diesel and Petrol

so the government has decided to give

priority to alternatives like - Ethanol, Methanol

Bio Deisel, Bio CNG and Electric

Electric Mobility today is already ready

We have Electric Bikes, e-Riskshaws

Electric car and Electric bus

Just 15 days before, Pune corporation has

floated tender to purchase 150 e-Buses!

In Mumbai , we already have e-Buses!

In Nagpur, we have 35 buses

from Scania, AC buses running on BIO ethanol

Now our department has taken a decision

to start projecting Mumbai, Pune and Guwahati

where we will run buses on Methanol

Methanol from Coal

In Mumbai - many companies

are already manufacturing Methanol

Same time in Guwahati

The Assam petroleum has capacity to making Methanol

100 tons per day!

They want to export Methanol from Guwahati

to Bangladesh!

So we will have pilot projects in Mumbai, Pune and Guwahati

and Navi Mumbai where

10 buses will run on Methanol!

Methanol is Rs 22 per liter and

Diesel is more than Rs 65 per liter. Ethanol is Rs 55 per liter.

But at the same time conversion from waste to wealth is important!

In Ganga river area, from my own ministry

we have 115 bio digesters

From Bio Digester , we can get Methane!

We can extract BIO CNG from Methane

We can run buses on BIO CNG!

Even from Wheat straw, Rice Straw and others

we can make ethanol

we can make ethanol from Molasses

from Corn and now municipal waste

So conversion of waste into wealth is the

future of the country!

There is huge potential, there is economic viability

in solid waste management and liquid waste management

My feeling is that the country has got potential of

5 Lakh Crore economy for Solid and Liquid waste

Now Solar and Wind Power is available

there is no problem as far as power is concerned

import substitute, cost effective and pollution free

e-Scooters, e-Rickshaws, e-Bus

electric cars are really the

future for the country!

Petrol cost per liter is Rs 85 , Diesel is Rs 65

Rs 52 for Ethanol = Rs 10 of electricity (To travel equivalent distance!)

Electricity is most cost effective and pollution free!

At the same time our government has taken decision to

give priority for public transport on electricity

The ropeway, cable cars

in the hill areas also will help

the environment of this country.

At the same time, we have to save imports

and pollution is a big concern

We are also planning for future

to create electric highways!

We are creating a highway from Delhi to Mumbai

which will reduce the distance by 120 km

more than 44,000 CR from

Mumbai to Vadodara. Next month we will start

Delhi to Jaipur

And it is a new grid alignment

I'am trying but it is not confirmed

We make it an electric highway

where we can take our trucks on electric

So Electric is an alternative for us

Methanol is from Coal

From Methanol we can make Gas

In USA, they are adding 20% Gas in LPG

We can reduce cost of Gas Cylinder used for cooking

by atleast Rs 100 per cylinder

At the same time it is an import substitute, cost effective and pollution free

and indigenous, creating employment potential

in the country. We are working on

diversification in Agriculture, Energy and Power sector

Today we have taken lot of decisions

I feel that day will come when there is NO imports!

We are going to increase our own capacity

our own capacity of production for Crude oil

30% indigenous and 70% import

the aim is to get upto 50% production of crude in the country

and 50% of Bio Fuel

Ethanol, Methanol, Bio CNG and Electric

I feel this is the future!

You dont need any program

When it is cheaper, pollution free, cost effective

People will buy. Now we have Bajaj,

TVS, Hero

are manufacturing electric bikes

We have taken a very good decision

that e-Autos and e-Rickshaws

or bio fuel auto rickshaw, bike and bus

will be free from permits.

They wont need license.

I'am also planning to start a two wheeler as a taxi!

Like OLA and Uber. There will be electric meter

where in rural areas

people will call the guy and he will pick up people from homes

with a helmet to the bus stop

So it can create employment potential in rural and agriculture sector

Kedar - Can it be done in Mumbai?

Mr Gadkari - We will not allow this in Mumbai!

As some areas have also

banned auto rickshaws

2nd and 3rd tier cities

in rural areas

at the Nagar Parishad level, we can do it!

Kedar : Great! You just mentioned

about this array of fuels

There was news reports that by 2030, all vehicles will be electric. Is that off now?

Mr Gadkari - This is nor a proper

thing to be discussed

I will ask you a question. you have a petrol car, your bill is Rs 6000

Now if your bill comes to Rs 1000

you are going to purchase electric car!

you dont need marketing plan or subsidy.

The GST on

petrol and diesel car is 48%

GST on electric and bio fuel is 12%

people are going to go for electric or bio fuel!

they have to save money and pollution

you dont need to make any plan for that !

Because the economics is there!

For example the e-Auto or e-Rickshaw the income of

the owner will be increased by 2 times

Kedar - How is this fitting into

make in India

for example, we still don't have a plan that manufacturers

battery cells. Are there steps towards that?

There is an issue with Lithium-Ion battery

ISRO has the technology to create cells and

the director was telling me

that 20 Indian companies purchased that technology.

In the whole world

the battery management system

the battery chemistries

every day there are lots of changes.

when number is more, price will be less

Day by day the cost of Lithium battery is coming down

but India needs to manufacture

Lithium-Ion battery in the country. That is the need of the hour

As it should be indigenous,

it will be a great thing for the country!

Thank you so much!

We had a good chat

with Mr Nitin Gadkari

we were really impressed with his command over facts

his knowledge

of costs and economics involved.

Definitely it is going to be in direction of

environmentally friendly fuels and

reducing import also seems to be a priority

Another thing we noticed was

the policies were

designed with an objective in mind

of moving to EV's

offer subsidies and drive demand that way

But now the policies seem to be designed

keeping multiple objectives in Mind

like job creation, steady transition

The policies are going to be

subtle changes

that support the economics and eventually

and catalyze this transition

It was a great chat and

we came out with some good information

So what do you think?

Please share your thoughts in the comment section below

we would love to hear from you!

Vehicle rescue in the wild - Duration: 10:01.

Yes, a huge hooray for Falcken!

(Roadside vehicle assistance organization.)

Join Falcken - yeah!

They'll even get you out of a fix in the wilderness!

Tough, old women in the wild!

This time together with a somewhat

older and tougher married couple.

We are really old ;)

Yeah - join us!

We are by an old mountain summer pasture this time.

Beautiful surroundings

that bring back many good memories for us.

We're traveling with my mother and father this time,

and they have even more happy memories from up here.

You did have something of a dramatic trip

to get up here this time?

It was a fantastic experience,

maybe you can explain a bit more about it later on.

Oh yes.

Indeed.

You looked like royalty sitting up front in the truck cabin.

A truck that weighed 13 metric tons

Correct ;)

Not to forget the 400 horsepower.

Wonderful!

So, we definitely arrived here in style.

At 10pm...

and three hours late.

At last, wonderful to see you!

What a relief.

The car is here,

the trailer is there and

our luggage is further up the track.

Yep.

Having been asked to so sit in our car,

there is a bit of excitement going on at the moment.

How is he going get our vehicle over to his truck?

Now he is going to winch it up onto the tray,

with us in the car.

And we are more than a little nervous about the procedure;

this is worse than being on a carnival ride.

Father will be ensconced comfortably in the tow truck cabin,

and mother is putting on her seat-belt in the back here.

Oh yes, firmly strapped in.

That's the way... we have no idea how this will pan out.

By the way, it was the driveshaft that packed it in.

Broken clean off - something of a rarity.

Father has been appointed cameraman

for the time being.

He'll sit up front with the Falcken man

once we are on our way.

We'll be sitting in the car while it is loaded and transported.

And here in the backseat we have the ladies...

You do realize it wasn't my fault!

It WAS the driveshaft.

Yep, you were correct in your evaluation of the situation.

Not a common occurrence, he said.

Yeah, one might say that we are almost unique! ;)

Just sit back and relax -

I can take care of directions.

Ho ho, this is going well.

Whee,

Whee, it's turning out to be more fun than a carnival.

Now you can engage the handbrake.

'll strap the car down so there will be no movement.

Should I turn off the engine?

Your choice.

If you want to run the heater, you can leave it on.

Everything in place!

Not bad.

Bewildering...

we drove all the way up from Skien today...

Yeah.

...and we were almost at our destination.

Mm.

Then things come to a stop on the track up here.

Ugh...

that's the way it goes sometimes.

That was a bit too much,

so close to reaching your goal.

Anyway, there we have the trailer...

Yep, there it is.

and our baggage is 100 meters further on.

Now we'll collect the trailer.

Let's see whether a man appears out of that door there...

and so the trailer is also rescued.

He has definitely done all this before!

Simply hooks up the trailer to the rear of his truck.

I wonder what his strategy is for stowing the luggage.

Dear oh dear, it's a long way down.

Goodness me!

Do you think this huge vehicle will make it

all the way up to to the Seter?

What do you think our chances are? Eh?

I'm keeping an eye out for our luggage.

I am also wondering

whether he'll manage all this on his own.

Oi, oi, oi

Now we have branches trying to invade the car.

There are our chattels.

Ha, ha...

and the luggage rejoins our entourage.

Yes, I'm sitting here in the cabin

of this fantastic large truck.

The driver is a very nice guy,

chats freely

and seems very understanding.

He's out hooking up the trailer

we had to abandon earlier.

Our baggage was also left roadside

with a tarp cover.

There he goes, stowing all our stuff on-board.

We're on our way!

Yeah, GOOD LUCK!

Thank you, the same to you.

He, he, he...

Thank goodness for Falcken!

I can't say it often enough...

use Falcken.

Assistance in the wilderness

He will now drive us up to Jonsetra,

and then drive back down again

to the workshop with our car.

Getting up into the mountains definitely

benefits our quality of life and awakens

memories of days gone by...

yep - that counts for a lot.

This is getting slightly crazy.

Oi

whee, that was a small stream...

I had the sudden urge to put my seat belt on.

(Tove sings in the backseat)

I didn't know you'd be taking us on

a roller coaster ride, Kaja...

No, it came as a surprise to me as well.

There is quite a lot of of weight

in this machine of yours.

It's heavy alright, 13 tons.

Mmm yes, 13 tons.

It may actually be a bit too heavy

Yes, my goodness.

I'm thinking that...

we'll be crossing over a...

well, we'll be crossing a... small bridge.

Yes... aha.

That is the fact of the matter.

You can judge the situation for yourself.

We'll have look at the lay of the land.

If you dare.

Yeah, we'll see.

You have horsepower to spare in this big beast.

Yes, 400.

Wow, 400!

Yep.

There wasn't much power to spare here.

Yes, oh well.

It's slippery here and

the truck is lurching slightly.

Your call...

as to how we should proceed.

We're sliding about like crazy here,

but he is not giving up.

Four-wheel drive and differential lock...

that man won't be giving up!!

Up there lies our destination.

Perched on that mountain top - aha ;)

I'll drive up and take a look.

But is there room up there to turn around?

Oh yes..

that won't be a problem.

There is a field we use to turn in.

I think you'll manage it without a hitch.

yippee

oho

Over the bridge we go.

It's definitely too slippery here.

Oh yeah...

We really need some ballast here...

What should we do?

Well...it'll work itself out -

ha ha ha.

Yes ladies, satisfied with the journey?

YES!!

Tove has had a really good time...

She's never enjoyed herself so much.

As for Mother and myself...

I am simply glad to have arrived.

Happy to be here,

and happy to have made use of our seat belts ;)

Getting close now.

Yes.

I imagine I'll be rescuing the trail as well.

Yeah, that'd be great.

It was too slippery up here,

making it impossible to turn.

So, 13 tons of tow truck had to reverse 250 meters.

But......

IT WILL ALL WORK OUT IN THE END :)

It's been a pleasure taking this little trip with you both!

Thank you so much!

Very enjoyable!

Thank you for having us along.

Now we just have to drive you home at some stage.

Ha det bra!

Enja and Kiro are having a whale of a time

up here at the mountain farm.

Heaps of joyous energy

being displayed there at the moment."

Electric Vehicles Get a Boost in Eastern Oregon - Duration: 1:26.

(upbeat music)

- We're here in Huntington, Oregon,

helping to commission the first fast-charging site

for electric vehicle charging.

So it's the first of its kind in the west.

It'll deliver 350 kilowatts of power, up to.

Now cars can't take that yet,

but this station can deliver that, if needed.

Huntington is a little out of the way.

However, if you look at a map between Portland and Boise,

and try to site these things every 100 to 120 miles,

Huntington hit the spot.

(upbeat music)

This is a fast charger.

So this'll deliver a charge to a car,

right now in less than an hour.

And in the future, in as little time as 10 or 15 minutes

or even five minutes, as the cars advance.

So these stations going up along our interstates

are gonna be essential to helping people

get over range anxiety and adopt electric vehicles.

(upbeat music)
