00:00This electric motor for machines and elevators produces 100 horsepower,
00:05just like this one, which is far smaller and a lot lighter.
00:08It was developed by the Brazilian firm WEG.
00:11At this week's Hanover trade fair in Germany,
00:13the company hopes to attract European customers in particular,
00:16for whom energy efficiency is now an urgent concern.
00:20On the blue one we see the traditional motor,
00:23this induction motor that weighs 630 kilograms.
00:27This is 100 horsepower.
00:29This is either 100 horsepower, but it weighs only 50 kilograms.
00:34So much, you see the difference by only looking at the size of the motors,
00:38that this demands much less material consumption to be built.
00:42It weighs 12 times less,
00:44that means 12 times less material needed to make it.
00:48And it also takes up less space.
00:51Saving raw materials and energy are major topics everywhere
00:54at Germany's premier industrial trade show.
00:59This Brazilian company, B8,
01:02produces biodiesel from used cooking oil,
01:05wood waste and industrial fat residues.
01:081.5 billion litres a year.
01:11If this truck were powered by the company's fuel,
01:14which it calls B-Vant,
01:15it would emit 99 percent fewer greenhouse gases
01:18and hardly any exhaust, according to the company.
01:21You don't see any type of smoke.
01:24And it's really a very good performance,
01:27a very good power production,
01:30without any or almost any type of CO2 emission.
01:35And it was even tested by, evaluated by Mercedes-Benz
01:39and confirmed that the power,
01:42that the lightstone is exactly the same.
01:46Nearly 90 percent of Brazil's electricity
01:48comes from renewables like hydro and wind,
01:52making the country a global leader in the area
01:54and putting Brazilian companies in high demand in Europe.
02:14the new sector and the new sector is filled with a little bit.
02:15continue the latest news.
02:15That is a good news on this aircraft,
02:15and it'll be all the latest announcements.
02:15And this as a möglich thing,
02:15the next thing,
02:15you're going to have to goude in.
02:15the new sector,
02:15then you're going to be out of here,
