11:31 am
we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport will go fully electric with red. the auto and mobility show lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks bogging 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. algae attributes meet students, benz and beatle fans who love their german car. on my car mechanic and my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love classic one, just allergic rebirth electrified moto taxes in kigali and electrified luxury
11:32 am
classics in the u. k. ah, we further the legacies of these most beautiful peaceful 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
11:33 am
. 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 a 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 no physical buttons, right?
11:34 am
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 cars have nowadays. there's no death of storage space in the new id. vazo caps, bottle snacks? absolutely. everything can be convenient. he stowed away plan. it has 7 usd. 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 is her name to talk to,
11:35 am
to indicate it was the 2nd model and effected by the w after the type one beetle. but later it was confusing me 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 micro bass came to be associated with the lifestyle of freedom and adventure among different if you year an annoying fancy. i forbid we can submit this out. yeah, thank you. by the so that's the van. the id buzz if 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,
11:36 am
a lot of leg room. nothing to complain about. the seats 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 bus can see. 5 passengers and fit 1121 pieces of luggage in 2023. the w plans to add a longer version with even more space. when it comes on to the market,
11:37 am
the v w 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 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 a few 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 vision can fit to entire europe, pallets in its freight compartment and is available with different doors styles, and either 2 or 3 seats 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 on the lot of friends,
11:38 am
even though it is not yet on the market, it will come in fall 2022. and before that, we will get to test drive it to some of the other bus isn't too far off the concept . b, w debuted 5 years ago, it 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 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.
11:39 am
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 pump . 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 according to miss any visit. i love to close my business because it's actually a lifetime. i graduation. i joined the citizens through germany. tell them i'm
11:40 am
a cop mechanic and my love for brainstorm. when i was kid. our 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 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 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 and ever since i got my own beetle, i fallen even more in love with these cars. i said that they also just looked so
11:41 am
beautiful 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 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. the traffic in cartoon is really bad. and for the beatles, there's another problem because there's no radiation mach that. so the engine of the heat's all the time back on mercedes, st mohammed has his own worries. ah,
11:42 am
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 of poor quality. this is a real problem. but above all else fought, he 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 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
11:43 am
engine for an electric motor. what the quote operating a transport business using an old motorcycle like mine is really difficult. garage in a way that it breaks down a lot longer. so at times i have more expenses and profit cassandra, that's why i'm converting it into an electric motorcycle. is it brought up with m a for operating costs? aren't his only concern? do you see me 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 motor 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 around 680 years. that's 3
11:44 am
months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the investment. you're joining oil or more to our, of his free. and you don't in service the term with noise terms or those costs. they are kept above the rider. 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, taxis happen retrofitted and demand is growing. i'm receiving big number of or does for not only for new electric bikes, but also did a tro fitting of the old bakes. so this is a positive response of the market. a one runs and market and even the other country
11:45 am
neighboring countries are calling me are asking me about the product. after a few hours, the transformation is complete. to you, she may as met, is like on now runs on 2 batteries. each provides power to cover about 50 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 chart cost about $0.76 after about 30000 kilometers the retrofit started to pay off because the savings on gasoline become tangible about 50 percent of licensed motorcycles, the new wonder on motor taxi's by 2026. the countries environment authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive on motor bikes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric. oh, at little banks,
11:46 am
who would be able to serve around $9000000000.00 pay? yeah, and this is almost 45 percent of that total amount of fossil fuels. that would be savings as a country it certainly made a difference to dr. is like eric, please see me whenever can not. in the past, when i rode my gasoline motorcycle, anybody, everyone would knock on 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 at that break on would you have you got another richer sitting shuttle open soon in the city of keys? and the hope is that major tax is in 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
11:47 am
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 carries are much cultural white. these are cause that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement was, is a 961 roles, responsive, 5 coach worked by james young. and what special it's electric we father, the legacies of the most beautiful peaceful car. it's sites us so much. it fills us with so much pride scenario. but we're providing something that will be siegel george, the so many decades to come. all. so what we're really pleased to see is that we
11:48 am
all winning the hearts and minds of that much younger generation. these are people that have made their success. they've made success ballston early in life. british 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 in a company that specializes in converting old rolls royces to cleaner machines. lunas was founded by dated lawrence, who name the company after his daughter. my daughter's toys, old, just done 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 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
11:49 am
hit the road in 1961. at luna's, the 1st step is to remove the internal combustion engine. been 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 on the computer to take it all the way back and then sought rebuilding it from the round up against
11:50 am
the fully struck the cost. and that it really is a work of i 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 in goes the electric motor with a 120 kilowatt hour batteries. 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 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 spats on the vehicle. and it's really lovely because every one of them is so individual. so you see them
11:51 am
throughout the shop and they all look like an individual unique piece. depending on your taste, the lunacy designers either restore the interior true to the original, or they redesign it from scratch. and when the converted rolls royce is 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 again for to the vehicles. 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 highly sort of the fits. hi rose
11:52 am
versus promised really sir henry royce was of course, a famed electrical engineer. and, and he looked at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineering that he stole the company over over the foundation. he won't fit silent running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course, 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 is committed to keeping alive the
11:53 am
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 round the world as being incredibly beautiful, incredibly evocative. although back in 2018, the 1st car, that newness 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 pasco, i have a bill. was there k $120.00 fix at cook, which was very similar 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, markel drove and electrified 1960 jaguar e type. i'd already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i for this incredible i started my journey looking into just an easy
11:54 am
path. 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 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 saw 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
11:55 am
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 sent me rolls, royces, aston martin's on the pinnacle british classic the very essence 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 was part about national heritage, the part of the fabric about our cultures. and we have to address this issue sustainability that clearly is so much entrust to future generations to ensure that these calls will be driven and enjoyed for, you know, any more decades to cup. we know that younger people a lesson gauged. it's cause in the way the previous generations were and you know,
