and yet every one experiences it differently as if there are different forms of time. time, a phenomenon, a dimension. we know we won't live forever. and illusion. about time presenting futures past starts april 14th on d, w. d. ah, this is a 196112 responsive 5 coach. what by james young. and what special it's electric with we are living during the most extraordinary time of history, of transport photo, fully electric with red. the auto and mobility show

lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks bog and id buzz. i'll fitting green successor to the iconic t one bus. ah, quite a few details about the new id bus that reminds you of the old b w t one from the sixty's. allergic tributes meet sedans, bends and beetle fans who love their german car. oh my god mechanic. oh, my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love classic one allergic rebirths, electrified moto taxi's in kigali, and electrified luxury classics in the u. k. ah, we father, legacy is most diesel,

diesel automotive nostalgia in all shapes and forms this week on red. it's finally there been u. v. w id buzz eagerly awaited by a lot of people. but before we dive into details, i'd say check out the design of the car and with that, welcome to the ref. check with . as you can tell, there are quite a few details about the new id bus that remind you of the old b, w t. one from the 60s, for example, their window right here. i mean of course with the t one with the old one,

you could open that that's not possible here, but that's minor details. and right there, those smits, the all t one had them down. therefore, the engine and at the front you have the white color and a big v w logo, just like the old one headed. unfortunately, i cannot yet drive the id bus, but i can at least take a seed ride here and check out the interior. and i have to say it looks really good . i especially the steering wheel is very nicely designed. it has some touch buttons right here, which is not exactly what i would wish for. but it's okay. another thing i don't really like is that there are no physical buttons right here. so if you want to change something for the climate, you need to do that via the touch screen right here. i prefer some physical buttons, but that is a problem. that of course half nowadays,

there is no death of storage space in the new id. vazo caps, bottle snacks? absolutely. everything can be conveniently stowed away. plus it has that in the usb stop it. which means it's not going to be any pickering ever who can charge their smartphone. i remember when b w show the id bars concept back in 2017. there was a lot of applause. people really liked it. of course, partly due to the fact that it reminded them of that old t one and people had stories or adventures they lived through in that t one. so i'd say, let's take a look at the history of the bus 1st to lose the $950.00, the v w transpose, it became an instant classic. it was happening to try to, to indicate it was the 2nd model manufactured by the w after the type one beetle. but later it was confusingly, given the t one model number convoluted nomenclature aside,

the dance popularity grew in the 1960s with the rise of hippy culture. seeing the t one or micro bass came to be associated with the nice style of freedom and adventure among different to go if you, you're an annoying fossil closet. i forbid guns of it. that's how we are, can you by the so that's the band. the id buzz if it's existence to general as she would expect it from a vw bus, there is a lot of space, a lot of head room, a lot of like room everything fears very wide. so it's very nice in here in the rear as well. very much space. a huge head room, a lot of leg room. nothing to complain about. the seats are quite comfortable though, have to admit that they are

a little harder than i would have expected. what's pretty cool about the interior is it, there is no leather in here and they used a lot of recycled material. as you can tell her id boss has a lot of space just as you would expect it from a van, even with the passenger version. and that despite the fact that you have the 77 kilowatt hour battery taking up space in their car, of course you need it for the electric motor. they have energy to put it to the rear axle just as with the original t what the new id but conceit, 5 passengers, and 5th, 1121 visas of luggage. in 2023 v w plans to add a longer version with even more space when it comes on to the market, the v w id boss will 1st have a $150.00 kilowatt engine powering the rear. later, there will be a smaller battery for entry level prices, and

a bigger version with 2 engines, one at the front, one at the rear, and somewhere around $300.00 kilowatts of foul. with $170.00 kilowatts charging power, it charges to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. the id buzz is of course, also available in a cargo version. and as the name suggests, it is for people that need to move a lot of stuff. and that might be in private or with your business. the good vision can fit to entire europe, pallets in its freight compartment and is available with different door styles. either 2 or 3 feet up front. my impression on the new v w i the boss, it is a very cool car with a unique design and it will definitely find a lot of friends. it already has found a lot of friends, even though it's not yet on the market. it will come in fall 2022, and before that we will get to test driving to summer. the are the bus isn't too far off the concept. you debbie used 5 years ago as spacious,

customizable and looks cool. but on the downside is the endless options controlled by only the touch screen. prices are likely to start around 55000 euros in germany than life is back in the middle of the sudanese capital cartoon. it's german cars, as far as the i can see, in fact, they call this road. mercedes street did several workshops in a row and warehouses full of spare parts to fix up an old bench party mohammed has been repairing old ben's is for 50 years. he was 10 when his cousin, 1st hand him a wrench, and his passion for the cars has only grown since then. let us all north. i love challenges law. that's why i chose mercedes. not everyone

can fix them. it's quite difficult to give them a sob. this car was built in 1976. nobody knows how many kilometers it's done. 40 estimates over a 1000000 and there will be many more as soon as he repairs the broken diesel upon a common problem here due to the poor quality of imported diesel. it will cost around $225.00 euros, but then this car will be on the move again. there isn't just a mercedes street in sudan. there's also a mercedes benz sudan club was founded in 2016 and now has more than 7000 members who meet regularly in cartoon quoted to miss any visit. i love to close my case is because it's actually a lifetime after i gradation joined citizen germany channel. i'm a comp mechanic and my love for brainstorm when i was kid. i only love classic one

to now this is lisa sites in your community and i learned a lot from those are new friends of mine because of this one. we kind of say sedans, car enthusiasts are restricting their affections to a single mark. the belief that german cars stand for quality runs deep here. case in point the vw beetle fans taking part in this car, meet paul, convinced of how robust their little bugs are among them piece font. you must citic not what i like most about the beach, a list, the good quality that they lost forever and are easy to maintain. i do most of that myself. and ever since i got my own beetle, i fallen even more in love with these cars. i didn't mean that could be my luck. they also just looked so beautiful inside and out of the van i blocked this car. that it wasn't the 140 my works in a pharmacy by day,

but after work she devotes all her time to her beadle cheerfully motoring along and lovingly restoring it herself. city ex father also drives a beetle. in fact, her whole family loves the car. but of course, a passion for classic cars is not without its problems in the traffic. and cartoon is really bad. and for the beatles, there's another problem. there is no radiation about my head. so the engine of the heats all the time. back on mercedes street potty mohammed has his own worries. the biggest problem for us here on the market is that there are hardly any good qualities or

parts or parts that are imported these days are of poor quality. this is a real problem. but above all else, fatty sees himself as a problem solving he's already been able to revive his own car in 1984 mercedes benz w 123 several times. mercedes street, they say here is the only cemetery in the city where the dead are brought back to life. this is a big moment for eric to you see me today. the motorcycle taxi driver in kigali is feeling his 125 cc honda for the last time. soon he's going to swap his combustion engine for an electric motor. what their career operating a transport business using an old motorcycle like mine is really difficult garage

and i when i done it breaks down a lot longer. so at times i have more expenses and profit longer. that's why i'm converting it into an electric motorcycle drive. it is, it brought up of them for operating costs aren't his only concern to you. she may, has been driving a motor taxi for 7 years. he's aware of the pollution created by his gas pallet motorcycle. so he was glad to take advantage of the project initiated by the wonder environment management authority incorporation with the you and development program . it asked to retrofit gas powered vehicles with electric motors. all of this is done in this workshop in kigali t, as she may received a loan from his taxi cooperative to cover the cost of around 680 years. that's 3 months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the invest

the dawning oil are mortal, are service free, and you don't need service a term with no use terms or those costs. they are kept above the radar. so to them it's so it's a benefit plans for the time being maintenance is free of charge. so far around $100.00 motor taxi's happen. retrofitted and demand is growing. i'm receiving big number of or does for not only for new electric bikes, but also the retro fitting of the old bikes. so this is a positive response of the market. a one run and market and even the other country neighboring countries are calling me are asking me about the product. after a few hours, the transformation is complete to you, she may,

as motorcycle now runs on 2 batteries, each provides power to cover about 60 kilometers. once they're empty, they can be swap for charged batteries at a collection point. the empty ones are picked up by a truck also, e pallet, of course, and then charged at a central location. one charge cost about $0.76. after about 30000 kilometers, the retrofit starts to pay off because the savings on gasoline become tangible about 50 percent of licensed motorcycles, the new wonder, almost at axis. by 2026, the country's environmental authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. all moto bakes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric powered mental banks, who would be able to serve around $9000000000.00 per year. and this is almost 45 percent of that total amount of fossil fuels. that would be 7 the country.

it certainly made a difference to drive is like eric, please see me whenever can not. in the past, when i rode my gasoline motorcycle, anybody, everyone would look at me and shake their heads because of all the smoke pouring out like customers would even refuse to let me drive them. can you put it on that's no longer an issue going on a topic on would you let you got another richer sitting shop will open soon in the city of keys. and the hope is that measure taxis and goma across the border in the democratic republic of the congo will soon adopt this keener alternative to a rolls royce phantom 5 from the 1960 s. ah, i mean these are like the most beautiful vehicles in the world.

you know, they have sort of monuments to environment and history. they are objects that carry so much culture white. these are calls that were built in the era. why sort of beauty was the only real requirement? ah, this is the 1961 roles responsive, 5 coach worked by james young. and what special it's electric with father, the legacies of the most beautiful peaceful of it's. it's sites us so much, it fills us with so much pride scenario, but we're providing something that will be seen will join the so many decades to come. but also what we're really pleased to see is that we all winning the hearts and minds of that much younger generation. these are people that have made that success, that they've made success foster nadia live footballing legend david beckham is

also now converting his rolls royce to electric power. he is in just a fan of the electrified roles, but also a shareholder and a company that specializes in converting old rolls royces to clean machines. blueness was founded by dated lawrence, who named the company after his daughter, my daughters for years old just and for actually last week. and she sing this song and i've said it before, she goes, go green, go green, make the planet green. so that generation shift is happening from that younger age and it's shifting fast now, which is fantastic to say, visa building cause and passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles for future generations. and it's a legacy that i wanted to had to have. and also to see these vehicles have a new lease of life. this is what the rolls royce phantom looked like when it 1st hit the road in 1961. at luna's, the 1st step is to remove the internal combustion engine,

then completely dismantle the car. in restoration, you can really see how far we take the cars back the cars are liberated of their old lives by stripping them down to bare metal before every individual pieces and meticulously restored. when you pull back that paint me pull back to fella, what lies beneath it. sometimes a very ugly story of previous repass men, the chassis of the rolls royce, his skin in 3 d, in order to begin its planning conversion to an electric vehicle and the computer to take it all the way back and then sought rebuilding it from the ground up again, we fully stopped the car and it really is a walkable, meticulous manual labor is of utmost importance here. it is also imperative that the original weight distribution be retained after components the electric driver

installs crucial in order for the car to handle optimally. when work in the chassis and body is completed, the car shines in a completely new light. then ngos, the electric motor with a 120 kilowatt hour battery. the interior of each car is completely bespoke we really mix the elements of it, whether the screens are within the dash screens that are hidden within the dash. you've got, matt finishes on the woods. you've got cross finishes on the wood and the so much specification for the client to enjoy as they build these vehicles. and you've got bonnet live as different wales spats on the vehicle. and it's really lovely because every one of them is so individual. so you see them throughout the shop and they all look like an individual unique piece. depending on your taste, the loon, as designers, either restore the interior true to the original, or they redesign it from scratch.

and when you convert it rolls royces, leave the factory for the 1st time. their test drive involves laughs on the silver stone race track. yes, the iconic formula one circuit is right across the road from the luna's factory here, each cars technical systems are optimized once again and adapted to the vehicle. finally, the electric classic car gets updated with cutting edge 21st century tech. i've got incredibly efficient, modern brakes that make this car. we're real sort of effort as joy to drive. we update the steering, we update the suspension, so it's a beautifully smooth experience. but i think it's hardy sort of befitting rolls versus promised really. so henry royce was, of course, a famed electrical engineer and you look at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineer. still,

this is the company over over foundations. he won't fit silent running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course a electric power delivers exactly that. in 19 o. 6, the silver ghost was the 1st rolls royce, to hit the streets with a spirit of ecstasy hood ornament leading the way it heralded the arrival of the most perfect car in europe. and with that, came an elite clientele. it goes without saying that the british monarch, queen elizabeth the 2nd also wrote a rolls royce. so renowned was the brand that soviet leader loony brezhnev was willing to ride in a car from the enemy camp. lunas is committed to keeping alive the tradition of british automotive culture. or the enormously prowled british company were proud of by her. it's a chair and of course in

a british all to mites of icons, they're known around the world as being incredibly beautiful, incredibly evocative. although back in 2018, the 1st car that luna electrified wasn't a rolls royce, but another british icon, a jaguar. it was something of a labor of love for a luminous boss. david lawrence 1st guy ever built was the ex k 120 fix at cook, which was very similar car to this vehicle. you know, i saw prince harry's wedding in the electric. he type which you know, most the wild. so at this point, especially in the u. k ah, on the occasion of their wedding, prince harry and megan markelle drove an electrified 1960 jad war type. i'd already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i for this is incredible and i started my journey looking into just easy power transfer. stop to look at because it already exists on this planet and look how we can put clean air power train into vehicles that already exist rather than build you. the queen of england doesn't usually use rolls royce,

as her official car on state visits, that honor falls to bentley's, which is why it seemed natural to begin the process of electrifying this other legendary british auto mark. this is actually one of full vehicles in the world. possibly one of my favorite cars inherits a 2 door, james young bentley coup as 4 of these in the wild. which makes it extremely special. i for source this car for the client. and it's an incredible piece of history to protect and it came in very bad condition. and i love that we're protecting something. and given that james bond is been driving, asked in martin's for decades, it's no surprise at newness, wants to electrify this brand to then you have some of the cars that have just come in. the next i said martin d v 6 for me, the ultimate grit, british grand tora. and if you look at everything in here, obviously it's entities. rolls royce is aston martin's on the pinnacle british

traffic, the very incense of classic british motoring, but completely up to date. in his rolls royce phantom, you can cruise through life assured that you're doing the environment little harm. it's carbon neutral with a range of 500 kilometers on a full charge. these are audible. miss paul, about national heritage, the paul, the fabric about our cultures. and we have to address this issue sustainability that clearly is of so much interest to future generations to ensure that these calls will be driven and enjoyed for you know, any more decades to come up. we know that young people a lesson gazed with cause in the way that previous generations were. and, you know, we're really proud to provide an answer for them and provide an answer to the long term preservation of the peace philosophy. every eco warrior with

a pension for classic cars and 700000 euros in the bank can drive to work in an environmentally friendly rolls royce. with will will be dreaming of emission free classic cars until the next episode of red blue. with
