8:30 am
a, an increasing number of women in latin america. i'm guessing fed up there needs to stop doing and depressing. net fighting against the next is them violence. and for access to abortion, pressure from the street has already proven successful. the opposition is on the rise. fed up with menchie's starts november 25th on d. w. with this is a 1961 rhodes responsive, 5 coach. what by james young. and what special it's electric with
8:31 am
we are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. we'll go for the electric with my, the gotten rid of the auto and mobility show lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks bargain 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, nostalgic tributes. meet sedans, bends and beetle fans who love their german car. i'm a cop mechanic and my love for pain saw when i was kid. our love, classic one, just allergic rebirths. electrify,
8:32 am
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
8:33 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 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 the big v w 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 right here. so if you want to change
8:34 am
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 cause have nowadays. there's no death of storage space in 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 chart 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 lease to 1950, the v w transpose. it became an instant classic. it was her name to talk to,
8:35 am
to indicate it was the 2nd model manufactured by the w up to the top 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 micro best came to be associated with the nice style of freedom and adventure. unfunded to go if you are an annoying fancy i forbid with a gun so that that's how i've yeah, thank you. by the so that's the band, the id buzz i live 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
8:36 am
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 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, but 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 pass 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
8:37 am
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 because it can fit to entire europe, pallets in its freight compartment and is available with different all 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 found a lot of friends,
8:38 am
even though it's not yet on the market. it will come in fall 2022, and before that we will get to test drive it to summer. 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 years 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 handed him a wrench and his passion for the cars has only grown since then.
8:39 am
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 him 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. 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
8:40 am
a cop mechanic and my love for pain saw 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. 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 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 had given them that there they also
8:41 am
just looked so beautiful inside and out of the band. i blocked this car. but 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, 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. with the traffic and cartoon is really bad. and for the beatles, there's another problem that there's no radiation about that. so the engine of the heats all the time, back on mercedes street potty mohammed has a don't worry. ah, the,
8:42 am
the biggest problem for us here on the market is that there are hardly any good quality, spare parts or 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, 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
8:43 am
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 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 u. n. developing program. it ain't 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 $600.00
8:44 am
a to europe. that's 3 months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. but he's been assured it's worth the investment. drawn in oil are more to our service free. and you don't in service the term with no use jones or those costs. they are kept above the radar. 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 and run and market. and even the other country
8:45 am
neighboring countries are calling me are asking me about the product. after a few hours, the transformation is complete to you. she may, motorcycle now runs on 2 batteries. each provide power to cover about 60 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 the 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 countries environment authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. on motor bikes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric, poet montalvo,
8:46 am
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 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 he says, customers would even refuse to let me drive them and you could, if that's no longer an issue, going on at that, but would you have you got another richard sitting shuffle open soon in the city of keys? then the hope is that major taxis in coma across the border in the democratic republic of the congo will soon adopt this keener alternative to o. rolls royce,
8:47 am
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 all objects that carry, sorry, much cultural white. these all calls that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement. ah, this is a 1961. well responsive, 5 coach. what by james young. and what special it's electric we father, the legacies of the most beautiful peaceful club. it's excites us, so much fills us with so much. pride said no, but we're providing something that will be seen. we'll join the so many decades to come. but also what we're really pleased to see is that we all winning the hearts
8:48 am
and minds of that box, younger generation. these are people that have made their success. they've made success, boston early in life. british footballing legend david beckon 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 named the company after his daughter. my daughters for 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, isn't it shifting fast now? which is fantastic to say these are building cause and the 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
8:49 am
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 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 which i get all the way back and then start rebuilding it from the ground up again . fully struck because and that it really is
8:50 am
a work of i'm meticulous. manual labor is of utmost importance here. it is also imperative that the original weight distribution be retained after the 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 mixed her in a 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, louvers, different wales stats 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
8:51 am
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 and boss lapse 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 roles versus promised really. so henry royce was, of course,
8:52 am
a famed electrical engineer and, and you look at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineering that he stole the company over over the foundations. he won't fit silent, running. he wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. and of course a electric power delivers exactly that. in 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 looney brazen. it 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
8:53 am
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 lunacy 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. first i have a bill was the ex k $120.00 fix at cook, which was a very similar car to this vehicle. you know, i saw prince harry's wedding and 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 jad war type. i'd already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i thought this is incredible and started johnny looking into just an
8:54 am
easy path transfer stopped 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 a one of full 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 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 when you have some of the
8:55 am
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 on the 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 of what was paul about national heritage. they're 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 come. we know that young people a lesson gazed with cause in the, the previous generations weren't. you know,
8:56 am
