in the world, ah, the making of the little known whale sharks, the remote island of san antonio, a testament to the quality of the waters. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity. st. starts november 18th on d. w. misses of 1961, both responsive, 5 coach what by james young and what special it's electric. c

we are living during the most extraordinary time of history, of transport. we'll go pull the electric with red, the auto and mobility show lou, nostalgic revivals is the new folks bog. 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 on my car mechanic. and my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love classic one style degree births, electrified moto taxi's in kigali,

and electrified luxury classics in the u. k. ah, we further the legacies of these most beautiful, beautiful cars, 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 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. another thing i don't really like is that there are no physical buttons right here. so if you 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 death of storage space in the new id. vazo cats, bottle 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. first is 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 and effected 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 mike habash came to be associated with the nice style of freedom and adventure. unfunded to go, if you are an annoying fancy, i forbid we can submit this out either via you by the 3rd. that's the van. the id, buzz. it's existence to general as you 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. 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 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, their 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 can see. 5 passengers and said, 1121 pieces of luggage in 2023. v w plans to add a longer version with even more space when it comes on to the market. the vw id

boss will 1st have a $150.00 kilowatt engine powering the rear. later, there will be a small, a battery for entry level prices, and a bigger version with 2. he 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 bars ease, 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 because it can fit to entire europe pallets and it's freight compartment and is available with different doors styles and either 2 or 3 feet up front my impression on the new v w id, but 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 will come in fall 2022. and before that,

we will get to test driving to some of the early bus isn't too far off the concept . b, w debuted 5 years ago, it's spacious, customizable, and looks cool. but on the downside, there's 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 bit 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.

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 pump. 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 my city visit, i love to post migration because it's actually a lifestyle after i graduation. joined this germany jello. i'm

a cop mechanic and my love for penstock. when i was kid, i only love classic one. i got to now, this is lisa site, the new community. and i learned a lot about from those new friends of mine because of this one. he kind of se sedans, car enthusiasts aren't 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 all convinced of how robust their little bugs are among them, piece font him acidic. not what i like most about to be to list the good quality that they lost forever and are easy to maintain. i do most of that myself dahlia. ever since i got my own beetle. i fallen even more in love with these cars. i said that they also just looked so beautiful inside and out

of the band. i left this car that it doesn't have any of our fatty mo, works in a pharmacy by day. but after work, she devotes all her time to her feel cheerfully motoring along and lovingly restoring it herself. city 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 because there's no radiation. my mom had it so the engine of a heats all the time. back on mercedes street potty mohammed has his own worries. ah lou,

the biggest problem for us here on the market is that there are hardly any good quality, spare parts. all the spare parts that are imported these days are a poor quality. this is a real problem. but 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 are brought back to life. this is a big moment for eric to see me. today. the motorcycle taxi driver in kigali is dealing 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 when that 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 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 powered motorcycle. so he was glad to take advantage of a project initiated by the wonder environment management authority incorporation with the u. n. development program. it ain't 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. 3

months salary and loss of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the investment. you're drawn in oil, our motto, our of is free and you don't in service the term with no use jones or those costs. they are kept above the rider. so to them it, so it's a benefit. and for the time being maintenance is free of charge so far around $100.00 motor, taxis happen retrofitted and demand is growing. i'm receiving big number of or does follow not only for new electric bikes, but also the retrofitting of the old bikes. so this is a positive response of the market. a on london 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 seem 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 connection 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. in rwanda, on motor taxi's by 2026. the country's environmental authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. on 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 other country it certainly made a difference to dr. is like eric 3, see me whenever can not in the past, when i rode my gasoline motorcycle, anybody, every one would look at me and shake their heads because of all the smoke pouring out. like he says, 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 have to go to? another retrofitting shop will open soon in the city of keys and ye, the hope is that motor tax is in 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

i mean, these are like the most beautiful vehicles in the world. you know, they have sort of monuments to a moment in history. they are objects that carries are much cultural white. these are cause that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement. this is a 1961. roles responsive, 5 coach work by james young. and what special it's electric we father, the legacies of his most beautiful peaceful. gov it skips sites us so much. it fills us with so much pride scenario. but we're providing something that will be siegel george, to 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 their success, that they've made success ballston. early in life, british footballing legend david peck, him is also now converting his rolls royce to 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. lunas was founded by dated lorenz, who named the company after his daughter. my daughter's 4 years old just turned for actually last week and she sings 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 these are building cars and passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles for future generations. and it's a legacy that i wanted to has 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 in meticulously restored. when you pull back the 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 is scanned in 3 d in order to begin its planning conversion to an electric vehicle and the computer which i get all the way back and then thought rebuilding it from the ground up again. we fully struck the car and that it really is a walkable,

meticulous manual labor is of utmost importance here. it is also imperative that the original weight distribution be retained aft of components for the electric driver installed, 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 mixed 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 there's 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 individual. so you see them throughout the shop and they only 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 royce is leave the factory for the 1st time. their test drive in vos 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 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 stove company over over foundations. he won't fit file of running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course a electric power delivers exactly that. 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 at the british monarch, queen elizabeth the 2nd also rode. the rolls royce, so renowned was the brand that soviet leader lini brezhnev was willing to ride in a car from the enemy, camp blueness, 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 a round the world as being incredibly beautiful, incredibly evocative. although back in 2018, the 1st car that luna's 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 s k 120 fix at 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. on the occasion of their wedding, prince harry and megan, markel drove an electrified 1960 jaguar e type. i'd already had a lot for crass x and i saw the electric e type and i for this is incredible and i started my journey looking into just easy power trains 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. robin build you the queen of england doesn't usually use a rolls royce as her efficient 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 pull vehicles in the world. possibly one of my favorite cars inherits a 2 door. james young bentley cook 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 lewis 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 great british grand taura. and if you look at everything in here, obviously it's entities. rolls royce is aston martin's on the pinnacle british classic the very instance 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. visa, what was paul about national heritage, the paul, the fabric about our cultures. and we have to address this issue sustainability that clearly is a 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 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 loan, some preservation of the fuselage, him 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 ah
