show lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks vog an 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. i'm a car mechanic and my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love classic one, just allergic rebirths electrified moto taxi's in kigali, and electrified luxury classics in the u. k. ah, we father, the legacies of these most beautiful peaceful automotive miss dal,

jane. all shapes and forms this week on red. ah it's finally there, the new 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 sixty's, 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 slits, the all t one had them down. therefore, the engine and at the front you have the white color and a big vw 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. and other 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 a lot of calls have nowadays. there's no data. say send the new id. vasa caps

fossils snacks? absolutely. everything can be convenient. he stowed away. plus it has 7 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 lease to 1950. the v w transpose, it became an instant classic it was her name to talk 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. seen the t one or mike habash came to be associated with the lifestyle of freedom and adventure. i'm funded to go if you yeah, an annoying fancy. i forbid we can submit this out. i will be a thank you by the so that's the van. the id buzz, it's existence to general as she would expect it from a v w bus. there is a lot of space, a lot of head room, a lot of like room. everything's 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 seeds are quite comfortable, though i have to admit that they are a little harder than i would have expect. 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 was conceived. 5 passengers and said, 1121 v. his 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 colder version can fit to entire europe pallets and its freight compartment and is available with different doors styles. either 2 or 3 feet up front. my impression on the new v w id badge. 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 drive in the summer. the are the bus isn't too far off the concept b, w debuted 5 years ago. it's spacious, customizable, and let's 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 bed party mohammed has been repairing old ben's is for 50 years. he was 10 when his cousin 1st handed him a wrench in his passion for the cars, has only grown since then. there's also a lot. 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'll 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 according to miss any visit. i love to close my business because it's actually a lifestyle after i gradation. joined mercedes in germany channel. i'm a cop mechanic and my love for pain. so when i was kid, i only love classic one. i got to now this is lisa site in your community. and i

envelope love from those new friends of mine because of this one. we can say sedans, car enthusiasts are restricting their affections to a single mark. the belief that german cars stand for quality runs deep hear. case in point the vw beetle fans taking part in this car meet all convinced of how robust their little bugs are among them, piece font him acidic. non what i like most about to be to list the good quality that they lost forever and i 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 did meet with them. they also just looked so beautiful home inside and out of the van. and i love 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. its 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. the traffic in cartoon is really bad. and for the beatles, there's another problem because there's no radiation. my mom had it so the engine overheats all the time. back on mercedes street potty mohammed has his own worries. with the biggest problem for us here on the market is that there are hardly any good quality spare parts. all his spare parts that are imported. these days are poor quality. this is

a real problem with blood above all else fought. he sees himself as a problem solver. 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 or brought back to life. this is a big moment for eric to 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 the quote is operating a transport business using an old motorcycle like mine is really difficult. garage and the way that 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. is it wrapped up obama for operating costs? aunt his only concern to you. she may, has been driving a motor tax equal 7 years. he's aware of the pollution created by his gas powered motorcycle. so he was glad to take advantage of a project initiated by the wonder environment management authority incorporation with the u. n. developing program. it asked to retrofit gas powered vehicles with electric motors. all of this is done in this workshop in kigali to you, 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 investment.

jointed oil almost so our stuff is free. and you don't need service the term with no use terms or those costs. they are kept above the radar. so to them it's so it's a benefit plan for the time being. maintenance is free of charge. so far around $100.00 motor, taxis have been retrofitted and demand is growing. i'm receiving big number of orders for not only for new electric bikes, but also did a tro fitting of the old bikes. so this is a positive response of the market. a one runs and market and even the other country neighboring countries are calling me or asking me about the product. after a few hours, the transformation is complete. to you, she may, motorcycle now runs on 2 batteries. each provide power to cover about 50 kilometers

. once they're empty, they can be swap for charged batteries at a connection point. the empty ones are picked up by a truck also, e pallet, of course, and then charged at the 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 license motorcycles, the new wonder, almost her taxi's. by 2026, the countries environmental authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. all motor bikes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric, poet, 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 serving as a country. it's actually made a difference to job is like eric,

please see me whenever i 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 this as a corporate customers would even refuse to let me drive them can you could, if that's no longer an issue going on a topic on would you have you got another richer fitting shop will open soon in the city of keys. then the hope is that measure tax season goma across the board or 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 all objects that carry so much culture white. these are calls that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement. ah, this is a 961. roles, responsive, 5 coach. what by james? young. a. what special? it's electric with we father. the legacies of the most beautiful peaceful it excites us so much. it goes with so much pride scenario, but we're providing something that will be stable with joy, 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 people that have made that success, that they've made success, boston early in life. mm. british footballing legend david peckham is also now converting his rolls royce electric power. he is in just

a fan of the electrified roles, but also a shareholder in a company that specializes in converting old rolls royces to cleaner machines. blueness was founded by dated lorenz, who named the company after his daughter. my daughter is 4 years old, just hon for actually last week. and she sings this song i, 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, isn't it shifting fast now? which is fantastic to say these are building cause and passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles for future generations. and it's a legacy that i want to have 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, then meticulously restored. when you pull back to paint me, pull back the fella what lies beneath is sometimes a very ugly story of previous repass men. the chassis of the rolls royce is scanned in 3 d in order to begin its planning conversion to an electric vehicle in the computer to take it all the way back and 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 for the electric driver install 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 in goes the electric motor with a 120 kilowatt hour battery. the interior of each car is completely bespoke we really mixed her in 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 wood. you've got cross finishes on the wood and there's so much specification for the client to enjoy as they build these vehicles . and you've got bonnet live as different wales stats 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 only like an individual unique piece. depending on your taste, the luminous designers either restore the interior true to the original, or they redesign it from scratch.

and when you convert it, rolls royce is leave the factory for the 1st time. their test drive involves lapse on the silver stone race track. yes, the iconic formula one circuit is right across the road from the lunas 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 a 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 highly sort of befitting roles versus promised really. so henry royce was, of course, a famed electrical engineer. and he looked at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineering, building the company over over the foundation style of running a. 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 rode. the 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 an enormously prowled british company were proud of our parents to cheer and of course, in a british or to mites of icons, they're known a round. the world is being incredibly beautiful,

incredibly evocative. although back in 2018, the 1st car, that luminous, 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. first guy ever bill was the s k 120 fix head cook, which was a very similar car to this vehicle. you know, i saw prince harry's wedding in the electric e 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 and electrified 1960 jaguar e type. i'd already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i thought this is incredible. and it started my journey looking into just even patterns full 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 a rolls royce as her official. carl in 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 cook has 4 of these in the wild, which makes it extremely special. i've sourced his 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 when you have some of the cars that have just come in. the next asked him, often the v 6 for me, the ultimate great british grand taura. and if you look at everything in here, obviously it sent me rolls, royces asked in martin's other pinnacle british traffic.

the very essence of classic british motoring, but completely up to date in this 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 of what was paul about national heritage there 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. we know that younger people a lesson gauged with cause in the way that previous generations were. and you know, we're really proud to provide an answer for them and, and provide an answer to the loan, some preservation of this piece. phillip check 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 well will be dreaming of emission free classic cars until the next episode of read with
