awe time for a behind the scenes tour. pleasing 2 eyes and ears. in 30 notes on d. w. blue . what people have to say matters to us. got it. mm. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. this is a 1961, rolls responsive, 5 coach. what by james young. and what special it's electric with

we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. we'll go for the electric with red. the auto and mobility show lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks bog. an id buzz on 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 60s. nist allergic tributes meet sedans, bends and beetle fans who love their german car. i'm a cop mechanic. oh, my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love classic one, just allergic rebirths electrified moto axis in

t golly. 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 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 all 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 the big vw logo just like the old one headed. unfortunately, i cannot yet drive the id buzz, 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 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 bus though. caps, bottle snacks? absolutely. everything can be convenient. he stowed away. plus it has that 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 showed 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 to 1950, the v w transpose, i 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 nice style of freedom and adventure. unfunded to go, if you are an annoying fancy, i forbid gun so that that's how i will be up on you by the so that's the band. 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 and 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 one. the new id bus can see 5 passengers and said, 1121 visas 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 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. the colder version can fit to entire euro pallets, and it's fake compartment and is available with different or styles. 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 not yet on the market. it will come in fall 2022. and before that we

will get to test driving to summer. the are the bus isn't too far off the concept. vw 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 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. i'm not everyone can fix them. it's quite difficult to give them a saw 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 network or to where city visit. well, i love to close my business because it's actually a lifestyle after i graduate. i joined the citizens through germany. tell them 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 are new friends of mine because of this one. we kind of say sedans, car enthusiasts aren't 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. 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. they also just look so beautiful

inside and out of the band. i blocked this car because i didn't want them to have any of our fatty 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 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 that there's no radiation about my head of it. so the engine of the heats all the time back on mercedes street in potty mohammed has his own worried. 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 are imported these days are of 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, a 984 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

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 i think it breaks down a lot longer. so at times i have more expenses and profit got longer. that's why i'm converting it into an electric motorcycle. is it wrapped up of i'm, i'm 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 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 $680.00. that's 3

months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the investment you're drawn in, oil are more to our service free. and you don't in service the term with doors, trends, or those costs. they are kept above or either. so to them it. so it's a benefit plan 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 orders 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 want to run 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 provides power to cover about 60 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 at axis. 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 mental banks 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 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 customers would even refuse to let me drive them. can you push on that's no longer an issue going on at that because we just got another richard sitting shuttle open soon in the city of keys. then the hope is that major taxis 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 moment in history. they all objects that carry, sorry, much cultural white. these all calls that were built in the era. why sort of beauty was the only real requirement? this is a 1961 roles responsive, 5 coach worked by james young and what special it's electric we father the legacies of these most beautiful peaceful. gov it excites us so much. it fills us with so much. pride said no, but we're providing something that will be stable will join the so many decades to come. but all so what we're really pleased see is that we all winning the hearts

and minds of that box, younger generation. these are people that have made their success, but 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. lunas was founded by dated lorenz, who named the company after his daughter. my daughter's 4 years old just turned for it she 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 is 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 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 and meticulously restored. when you pull back in the paint and you pull back the filler, 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 and the computer to take it all the way back and then thought rebuilding it from the ground up again . we fully acosta. 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 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 battery. the interior of each car is completely bespoke we really mixed her in 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 throughout the shop and they all look 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 royces, leave the factory for the 1st time. their test drive involves laughs on the silver stone racetrack. 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 harvey, sort of befitting a rosewood, his promise really. so henry royce was, of course,

a famed electrical engineer. and, and you look at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineering that the building the company over over the foundations. he won't fit style of running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course, 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 that 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 were proud of by her. it's a chair and of course in a british all to mites of icons, they're known to round the world as being incredibly beautiful, incredibly evocative. although back in 2018, the 1st car that lunas electrified wasn't a rolls royce, but another british icon, a jaguar. it was something of a labor of love for a lunar 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 and 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, markel drove an electrified 1960 jad war type. i'd already had a leper classics and i saw the electric e type and i thought this is incredible. and i started my journey in such as easy

patterns, full stop to look at because it already exists on this planet. and look how we can put finance 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 world which makes 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 newness, wants to electrify this brand to then you have some of the

cars that have just come in. the next i said martin, 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 incense 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 so much entrust to future generations to ensure that these calls will be driven and enjoyed for you know, any more decades to come up. we know that young people are less engaged with cause in the way that previous generations wiring. you know,

we're really proud to provide an answer for them and provide it on the loan. some preservation of the piece flopped. every eco warrior with a pension for classic cars at $700000.00 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.

oh there are ringing again. the bills of london's big bed. the iconic landmark has many secrets. i'm for behind the scenes tour pleasing 2
