2nd straight it because we tried to to sell dirty, a face, a mafia, all over the world. environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, roofless corporations corrupted government agencies and criminal cartels. with a design and, and they are targeted. environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah. today, unread the auto and mobility show. the iconic trompe gets a new electric lease on life a wheelchair ride as you've never seen before. oh, the albanian taxi that's still going strong after a 1000000 miles on the road. and

am g soups up the baby bents with formula one technology with the iconic tra band the prostate car that ruled the road in communist east. germany is back. this time with an electric heart, we met the man who dared to tinker with the notorious strength, classmate, hobbyist, kish took the trouble, is a part of history. daughter, it's really famous and has cult status art or so it's great to take it into an electric future to, to go to film because another tonners are a hot casa hard core fans say it has to make that locking sound and stink. otherwise, it's not

a tropi is medical services, but of course this electric version as a couple of practical benefits i'm, it is an electron search for the guns. i'm driving the whole time in 3rd gear and no because i don't need to really accelerate. it makes it feel a bit like an automatic typically our them are the go. what began as a hobby for mateus fair is now a site business. he actually runs a cleaning company, which is where he and his team developed a travel conversion kids. people on behalf vitamins is i, we never wanted to come up with some kind of make ship solution i. it was for the commercial market unbeaten, which meant providing aversion that was easy to use and performed well on the road and kept the customer satisfied somewhat. for i'm and little quinta to free of miss

dashed on the e version is a no frills of fair in keeping with the true bond style talbot and but some things you just can't replicate driving an electric, travis is an entirely different experience for the east african it's a reliable comparison. we're doing 70 and the noise you hear is more the transmission than the car itself out of the electric makeover is possible with any of them to model not started out as a prototype in 2012 is now a standard package, but dr. is, can either do the conversion themselves or have bad do it. the 1st step is to got the vacant artist wired and now it's ready for the electric power train and all the gasoline engine parts no longer needed have been removed and seen out of my while, the engine and attachments on the exhaust of the original ignition. they're all gone it and the fuel tank has that's actually fitted up front and a turbaned. come,

it's all gone down. i awful like this, bump up on to that. so now on this, we're ready to refitted as an electric car. i've to buy as an a car to appreciate what electric travis really means. it helps to look back at least germany's beloved and hated automobile. a bunch did feel the trouble came from a state carmakers, accelerating and fickle rec, and was built there till the end. it's to, let's give out the 1st heavy load of the assembly line on november the 7th. 1957 fires typically faced the 10 year weight and a price tag equal to a year's wages. it's body was made of plastic fiber composite resin due to steel shortages. tabby was also a manifestation of the shortages that typified east gemini economy in german tr band means companion or satellites. inspired by the soviet sputnik, the world's 1st artificial satellite launched into obit that same year,

shortened to trompe the car became the companion of east germans for generations as well. the alice commit was used for everything, making out making babies. people slept in that law, camped out in them and covered big distances in them so as long as they had enough spare parts with them busy else outside monmouth auto. oh, ah 3. 0 hm. yeah. when people came back from a trip, the 1st question was not how was the vacation, but did the car hold all had sound? you'd sometimes see alternators discarded on the side of the autobahn list. machine did a home log in. the most savvy traps drivers always carried extra spark plugs and nylons as a substitute fan belt. the car itself weighs in the just under $600.00 kilos. it's lightweight, makes it ideal for electric conversion as it needs less power to get it moving.

for unclipped moodle, we fit a 12 kilowatt motors, which means it has the same output as the gasoline powered trouble. and it's really important for the vehicle licensing that we don't change the performance issue of fungus fun drop off on didn't fall as chrome was done to on tape spots. these are electric batteries stowed. we put in 30 or 60, depending on the range is little search too strict. i anchor bardwell movie. i'm uses house trick here we see the heart of every e. v. the battery pack unclipped, spotty. i like the original shabby design. mateus bez electric conversion kit is no frills, just the batteries, charges and fuse books in the back and the mysa up front visual angers of the eye and we wanted to retain the true bonds, simplicity and the whole. in other words, no complicated controls and electronics, and according on earth you come there are some different components in hub and as

high. for example, here we have the main monitor class injury been in classic any car style. it has a battery display hagan, which currently shows 100 percent large bill. this particular d i y converted shavanne to is almost ready mathias bag gives the added parts and general set up a check before passing it on to the official test or done good. now the car can go up to the inspectors of num. unplugged and ready to roll, the only thing holding back owners of a he, travis, is battery range. in the old days, tribe drive is faced a different kind of limit to their movement. thanks to the cold war. oh hello, liable kind to boy. they never really were a symbol of freedom. i king louis no freedom came in 1989 when the wall came down.

latravius drove across into the west, doyle synth, all that was free to horace. i really, they were a symbol of them is management. so centralized economy and material shortages, martinsville trust, the fool if the wool meant the end of the tragedy to they would. he is among the workers at the saxon ring factory, as the last of the 3000000 units rolled off the production line in 1991, travis would become increasingly rare in we unified germany before then. nostalgic . come back up on its hurry, the irish they to now got a passionate fan base. i guess he jumps him up and they're even considered a financial investment as we help unlock the they've practically become vintage model is fine. lots of fans are fixing them up to look better than when 1st built. irish knows that that definitely gets the emotions going to affect short and return of hidden fog. there are still around 38000 tribe ease in we had and wonderful

varieties in germany today. with a growing share of electric editions as close to misfortune as people make the wrong equation that a simple car means low price shot is out. unfortunately, not of the little 5. that is because of the high quality lithium batteries we installed that are now standard and modern cars. each room proxy and ion the strong . and that's the cheap price factor. of course, that is natalie's from the hub price compound, ender. it costs 22000 heroes for the d i. y kit, or $27000.00 plus to have a car converted by the city sex team. the exotic appeal of the causes even led to the gross of trouble safaris in berlin, where tourists can cruise around the classic sites of the been jungle. and now of course, there are electric additions to it. it's

a, it's an adventure, right? that is going oh, this is also a bench with the road to the way the road is, you know, or, or not at all. so for this and of course the traveler trip takes in checkpoint charlie the most famous border crossing between east and west berlin from omaha, nebraska. it's pretty amazing being at the wheel of a trip on to checkpoint charlie on her. it makes you kind of emotional and very proud. a new age has dawned for the tragedy as the cult communist cost silently palace into the future without leaving a big stick behind. if you want more rev, check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture and about mobility around the world, breadth can make you very happy vintage classics and future

no, no. do you boy with ah, this is am jeez new c 43, a 408 horsepower c class. mercedes is seeking to establish itself as a more exclusive luxury brand. and the entry level a and b class models are being discontinued from 2026. so from then on the c class will revert to being the brands smallest model. but how does the souped up see class available as a sedan or wagon fit into that luxury car strategy? is the c 43, a certified sports garm, or more in up market cargo carrier?

it's predecessor was the 190 sedan, launched in 1982 and dubbed the baby bens and the u. s. due to its 4.4 meter length, the 190 and its successors were successful contenders and the german touring car championships before withdrawing in 2018. the a. m g base model at the time, the 190 e with a 2.5 liter cause we're the engine was limited to just 500 units to day in original condition evolution or evo to sales 430-0000 euros. the one ninety's era, as the smallest merck was ended in 1997 by this curious looking sub compact. with some critics questioning its mercedes credentials. it was the birth of the a class. however, the car makers venture into the less lucrative and less glamorous sub compact segments is set to end after almost 3 decades. from 2026. anyone looking for

a low price, mercedes will likely have to fork out at least $44000.00 euros based on today's prices for the c $180.00 coup, while mercedes promises luxury on 4 wheels. it's a m g 's job to provide exclusive visuals and power with a range of options fashioning the desired look. and they've added race car engineering to give the 4 cylinder engine the right kind of performance. with on paper the c 40 three's performance looks very impressive with its 2 liter 4

cylinder engine generating 408 horsepower. that's quite an achievement for a paltry 4 cylinders, less impressive or the high c o. 2 emissions at more than doubled the 2022 in standard hold. with the cars, boost functions drivers have 500 newton meters of the torque available. that rockets the see 43 to 100 kilometers an hour in 4 point. 6 seconds. not bad for a 4 cylinder unit. lou. the secret behind that surprising power is a little electric turbo assistance courtesy of formula one the all kinds of dots

you involve it. we wanted to make a highly efficient 4 cylinder engine with an output of, in this case 300 kilowatts in. but with the agility of a larger units, i devoted kelley to hit on his course, will make more toast dos. we look to our colleagues from formula on victim humans and they'd faced the very same conflict at the start of the hybrid era. newbridge daughter who few were cylinders, i lowered displacement and, and extremely high output exclaimed boy last, the classic turbo charger needs exhaust energy that the turbine wheel transmits to the compressor and we were kept on us that gradually builds us was behind. but depending on the size can lead to a delay called turbo lag lauder. this is where the motor comes in, come to, instead of waiting for the exhaust gas energy, or you can use it for instantaneous boost pressure allotted will can, and you get feedback from the regular engine a lot sooner, which gives you a far more spontaneous and very linear response to the entire engine, which montana, rosaline, i was under clickable hutton from him because any

drawbacks fans of loud engines will find the sound experience a bit muted that might dampen their enthusiasm for the powerful performance of the high output. it's also a complaint often made about formula one cars of the hybrid era. the c $43.00 is fuel economy is also nothing to get excited about. although careful drivers could squeeze 9 leaders for 100 kilometers out of it, which looks good compared to other high powered cars. this 40 station wagon can accommodate between 460 and 1480 leaders of cargo. in line with an g tradition. the black with hint of red interior is sporty looking . the seats have been reworked for better lateral support and stability,

including on longer journeys. the steering wheel has an excessive array of controls . perhaps a m g. fans will like the high tech look, but it seems to be an acquired taste to some of the new see class is a comfortable mid size and a distinctly $41.00. thanks to am. jeez, 43 engine and both styling, but prices for this new baby bens are steep starting at some 73000 euros in germany . we've reached the end of the road for now. see you next time on ref. with
