between education and tradition, between cosmopolitan flare and captivating wilderness. the portrait of a desert state. hope of contradictions. guitar starts november 11th on dw. they want to know what makes with love, on banning thing that way. but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes in every single day. just getting a you ready to meet the german can join me, right. just do it on d, w i . this is a 1961 volt responsive. 5 coach, what by james young? what special it's electric with

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 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 remind 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, how they love, classic one style degree births, electro 5 moto tax season cigale and electrified luxury 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

. 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 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,

it's 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 cars have nowadays. there's no depth of storage space and the new id, vazo kept bottle snacks. absolutely. everything can be convenient. he stowed away. plus, it has said in the usb socket, 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. seen the t one or mike habash came to be associated with the lifestyle of freedom and adventure. unfunded. if you are an annoying fox, like transit, i forbid we can submit this out as a b a plan you by the so that's the band, the id buzz. if 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 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 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 pads can see. 5 passengers and said, 1121. v says 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 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 interest, 30 minutes, the id balance ease, of course, also available in a car will 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 code of it can fit you 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. it 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 bench party mohammed has been repairing old ben's is for 50 years. he was 10 when his cousin, 1st hand him a wrench in 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'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 go,

i joined. this is true. germany shall know. i'm a cop mechanic and my love for pain saw 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 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 ear 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 i easy to maintain. i do most of that myself and ever since i got my own beatle, i fallen even more in love with these cars. they also just looked so beautiful

inside and out of the van, and i love this car, but it wasn't the potty mo 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 edited. so the engine overheats all the time. back on mercedes street, 40 mohammed his own worries. ah.

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 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 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 cassandra, that's why i'm converting it into an electric motorcycle. is it wrapped up of them for an 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 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 on this workshop in kigali to you. she may received a loan from his taxi cooperative to cover the cost of around $6.00 an 80 years.

that's 3 months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the investment. to join in oil are mortal, are of his free and you don't in service the term with no use churns 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 taxes have been retrofitted and demand is growing. i'm receiving big number of orders for not only for new electric bikes, but also the retro fitting of the old bakes. 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, as motorcycle 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 here. 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 her taxi's. by 2026, the country's environment authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. on motor bikes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric. poet,

thanks who would be able to save around $9000000000.00 per year. 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 i can. not in the past when i rode my gasoline motorcycle anyway, but everyone 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 you got another richer fitting shuttle open soon in the city of keys. and the hope is that major taxis 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

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, sorry, much cultural white. these are calls that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement. this is a 1961, both response and 5 coach. what by james young, and what special it's electric we father, the legacies of these most beautiful peaceful called it sites us so much it closes 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 really pleased to see that we all

winning the hearts and minds of that much younger generation. these people that have made their success. they've made success boston 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. blueness was founded by dated lawrence, who named the company after his daughter. my daughter is 4 years old, just hon 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 . 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 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, then meticulously restored. when you pull back to paint me, pull back the 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 to take it all the way back and then start rebuilding it from the ground up again.

fully struck off and that it really is a work of either 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 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 if 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 wood. 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 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 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 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 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 i roles

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 still has the company over over the foundation. he wanted silent running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course, a electric power delivers exactly that. the 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 in its soviet leader, lini. 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. we are 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, the jaguar. it was something of a labor of love for a luminous boss. david lawrence 1st guy ever built was there k 120 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 an electrified 1960 jad war e type. i'd already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i thought this is incredible and my journey looking into just an easy

path transfer stock 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'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 then you have some of the

cars that have just come in. the next asked martin d v 6 for me, the ultimate grip, british grand taura. and if you look at everything in here, obviously it sent me rolls, royces, aston, 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 audible. miss paul, about national heritage. they're part of 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 and the way the 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 piece from 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 admission, free classic cars until the next episode of red oh, wow.

i mean the country that will host the world. you will have to once you visit, you never forget it. you up caught between transformation and exploitation. between education and tradition,

between cosmopolitan flare as captivating wilderness, the portrait of a desert state full of contradictions. guitar starts november 11th on d. w. oh, we're all good to go beyond be obvious. we're as we take on the world 8 our, i do all this. yeah. we're all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes, 5 policeman a deal we are, your is actually on fire made for mines. imagine
