to abortion, how effective of protests from the streets fed up with machismo 45 minutes on d, w. these places in europe are smashing all the records. stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you are to record breaking sites on google maps, youtube and now also in book form. ah, today i'm rab, celebrating 40 years of the old pell course up i you kind an app but encourages right sharing and a greek island where e these are key to a carbon neutral ph check.

with ovo celebrates at 40 years, of course are with a special edition model, a good reason for us to take a look at the calls are 40 and also at the history of the car. welcome to ref. since its launch in 1982, the super many has sold over 14 and a half 1000000 units for decades on the course or even enjoyed a stint at the top of the sales charts in the u. k. with special edition is available with 2 different dr. drains the 1st one is a regular gasoline engine, and it's also available as an e version the e version is also the while we're testing right now. open managed and up the range

from the regular 280 kilometers that the normal course i have to $313.00 with this one. so you will have a few more kilometers, which is pretty neat. and every day you, while we manage the clock up 313 on paper, the 40 edition can go up to 353 kilometers on all electric power. what sets the, especially this, apart from the regular versions is the red color that is based on the one the old car head. and the black trim. the 17 inch black wheels, the black roof with the spoiler, and the logo with the lettering all in high gloss. black. the interior has a modern need and heightened the book. in the interior you will quickly notice you are sitting in the special edition because of the seat covers that are

reimagined versions of the seat covers of the 1st generation car, a g t version. and because of this batch, it says 40 because obviously it's the 40 year model and it has a number right next to it 0216. this is the number of all calm because the special edition is limited to 1982 models. 1981 will be available for customers and the last one open will keep it for itself. i. what you see here is 5 generations of opa course are perfectly lined up. of course, now there are 6, but this is the one where it all started. the opal course saw a and we're going to take one of the 4 spin, right? know the so i think in the lower sitting in the 1st, of course, so the

a version let me just goes to windows so you can hear me better, even though we'll get a little warm inside. because obviously it didn't have air condition back at the time. the open course a debuted with a nice and short 3.62 meter length and flared, rally car style wheel arches. a feature aimed at male drivers. it was built at a new plant and saragossa $45.00 horsepower and top speed of $141.00 kilowatt as an hour. and the spring from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour took 19 and a half seconds. but you have to admit, even though it's just 45 horsepower the call so way, it's not even 750 kilograms. so it is quite number 40 or drivers. the force of a was also available and a t s i version with a whopping 100 horsepower also

takes some getting used to at least if you're my age and not used to driving cars that old. it only has one mirror on the left side and not on the right side because it only came with later model built only as the to door hatchback or notch back. the range added a popular 5 door model in 1985. even though the car came on to the market several of years after, for example, the w polo ford fiesta. it was a pretty successful model. a lot of these cars were sold and people liked their old hey became an award winning top seller with reduction totaling 3100000 units in 1993. despite the success of the original quarter, the company aimed at to model as female drivers,

resulting in softer and rounder contours. the dawn of the new millennium saw the appearance of the course, a seat, which would go on to cell around $2500000.00 units. in 2006, the course at d came out one millimeter shy of the 4 meter mark and was another big performer with the production cycle of 2900000. the 5th edition in 2014 boasted high tech features such as traffic sign recognition and lean assist. it was followed in 2019 by the current generation f. for the 1st time, boasting purely electric power. i think you've been sitting in one of these old vehicles getting back into a new car for years, so good. don't get me wrong and driving the old car. it's also nice. it is cool. you get this vibe all the time when the car was new. but the lack of power,

steering means your arms, get a bit of a workout for general driving aggression in the cause. r e 40 is not different than in the regular course i. e, because basically it's the same car only with a little more range. but there is nothing to complain about in this car, it drives very smoothly. it is not too loud inside, so i'm satisfied with what is rather strange to me is the fact that you can actually buy the special edition. you can only get it as a subscription, so you have a monthly fee that you have to pay. but then everything is included like changing the tires or if you have any damages to your car or insurance, everything is included. 369 years in germany for the gasoline vs,

and 499 for the battery electric one. and honestly, i don't really know how to feel about that. the price is for 1000 kilometers a month. if you want to go more up to $3000.00, for example, then you will of course have to pay for the the course or $8.00 and always has been a very successful model. and i really like that special edition, especially with the black accent. it looks so much better. the only thing i don't like the fact that opal decided this car will not be available to buy, but only in a sort of subscription with a monthly fee. or maybe i'm just not happy now any more to understand that. our verdict, the course of 40 as a good looking limited edition car with ample standard equipment,

that's also available as a fully electric version. but the anniversary model can only be leased at $500.00 euros a month for an e course. there is quite a bit of cash. as catherine con, cma begins her drive through kampala. she checks if anyone else needs to head in the same direction. she uses an app on her phone to see if people need a ride in a private vehicle for a small f. b. i grant can with and be like there is this car. it has 4 seats free. and the person that driveway is living at $630.00. then of course when they book, i also called from mark scott so also owns a car, which he chooses to leave parked due to the rising cost of living. the right sharing app allows him to split the cost of travel with other motorists

grid that does a rocketing prices build price is going to prices, it's much more cost efficient to use different rate then the other public means will drive your own car. besides a move like a boost. i looked though i know struggling with the border border gaze heating patrols and all that. so my genies really stress more relaxed. ugandan data scientist susan are to rem walk, is the brains behind the app. she developed the idea during the coven 19 induced locked down, when many people lost their incomes. her plan to help people cut costs while also cutting down on congestion and pollution. so as you can see, make sure that they go by,

they have one new one of your fine yesterday and i said he's cutting plane and the megan, come by, let me check in west city in the day africa with the why, why do you feel that it would reduce the stress is going to definitely translate into a deputy with however, auto rem was major challenges funding having bankrolled to start up with their savings for 2 years. she's now hoping partners will come on board. her ultimate goal is for digital solutions like the food right app to bridge infrastructure, gas inspire, smart cities and dr. economies across africa. asti, polio, a test lab for climate friendly mobility and can the tiny greek island go carbon neutral in the space of 5 years?

and go all electric. what you see here is a glimpse into the future. but hopefully boom film is not then i love what we're doing. yeah. we have to use energy to create something better for the wild. golly. that will be a model for other people. get to see both in like a little closer. ah, my phone video, i'm worried that this will have a negative impact in june 2021. then folks. welcome boss. have a dease and greet prime minister curious mid. so talk is formally laid the foundations for our project set to make us t player a smart and sustainable island. the instant real time experiment of what europe will experience at the large scale. in the coming years, a doorway to a newer, cleaner, greener, more sustainable world. with backing from the greek government volkswagen plans to

remove 1200 fossil fuel powered vehicles from the island by 2026, and replaced them with e cars. the diesel powered public transit buses are said to give way to sustainable mobility services until now the islands electricity has been provided by a power plant with diesel generators in future, the idea is to harness the sun and winds to make as deeply energy independent and a future lab for a global car company, we see what this connected is not about selling cars. it's about providing mobility to the paper. for example, in our new auto strategy, one of the main pillars is also the mobility platform, the mobility services. it's more a laboratory on how the service works, how the people into eg. talbert. the direction from the people is maria come poorer,

uses the asti bus mobility service at the local bus stop. she enters your location and where she wants to go. a fleet of e, w electric cars is out and about on the island practically 247. a smart computer program selects the car that will get her from a to be in the shortest possible time, daniel ticket for sustainable transit cost. 60 years medic, in one of the as the mass, you asti boss, because it's the best option for getting around the island. well, if you have cooler and it's very cheap as my love, what we're doing and then winning the nanette, he asked the we have to use energy to create something better for the wowza. and that will be a model for other people in the gallery. that of course, to day nicholas konita is going to try out nasty, go a sharing service that enables users to rent electric cars on the island. the app tells him that there's a v w id 3 somewhere in the vicinity. but with internet coverage still pretty weak

in some parts of the island. it takes a while for him to locate the car and open it by the app. ah, sometimes it doesn't work, you have to recover good for your why fi signal i have to. i have a bluetooth a signal. i'm just, i'm, we're like you nikos konita grew up on ascii, calia and loves just driving around the island. today he's going to test how far one of the v w e cars will take him even nice and drive on the road. but i would certainly prefer my or 4 by 4 car for the re re laugh fair. and if i go to be to say that i really have to, to reads, i would like her, i would prefer to have my 4 by 4. not surprisingly, the island sol filling station sees a lot of s u,

v drivers and others who belong to the local pro gasoline brigades. that also includes gold herders here to fill up their fuel cans because their farm still run on diesel generators. with the local bus, with its old diesel engine, is another regular customer. there is plenty of opposition to the v w project. and fuel station owner cost us does not feel afraid of losing his job any time soon . no major coverage. i don't see things going forward with this project. the project walks back on only chosen to play. i because it's so nice here which means better marketing for their products feel get body and i've yeah, finishing it. and another reason is shane as that, as we're only about 1300 people live. there can't be any large scale opposition to the project in nebraska for less. if they were $10000.00 people living

here, name it then there would be far more resistance. gordon was a sizable number of those residents are in no rush to make the switch to a new energy option. the prospect of turning us the palais into a sustainable island has been the subject of heated debate. at what i thought, i dont want change asked bella should stay how it is you don't want a boy or via d. all that's difference or is that asked? the police has become famous in florida. gordon wants to war. but otherwise, if i don't see any progress, i see my poor little video oversaw. all that media coverage has put ascii pele in the spotlight. and that in turn is prompted growing interest in the sustainable island project. at the same time, the island is already changing, in other ways to says anthropologist underlay us lee course because of the extreme publicity that the, the islander how steak and eh yeah,

prices are going steadily up on the island east changing towards more and more post destination honestly, coast has been keeping a close eye on developments here and how they're affecting the local population. he's working on a paper for the university of oslo, about the social impact of the island switch to sustainability. these is altering the balance in small in societies like us, the police, because you have winners and losers. maria, come pooty is clearly among the winners. she runs the swankiest hotel in cora, the capital of ascii, paulia. crucially for her, the islands, new sustainable image translates into a more exclusive and wealthier clientele to

wait to see poor little soon only this project is evolving things on so many friends will be. and that also means improvements for our guests here on asked to play up. and if you kept on publishing, says what we're hoping for is a longer see anybody tourists arriving earlier in the year and staying longer. all these came out that he only taught him here in the old town of corta. maria's throughout the gaki runs a little, but she cafe it's a popular evening pond for the islands, artists, and intellectuals. and here to the changes already happening are the subject of intense debate with often omitted during a filter to run. okay, how did i no longer so easy to fix something that's broke and stuff and it got we've become famous overnight and there are a lot more people coming here. cousin carson as i go to on optics. sure. this means get develop many thought it's simply not healthy,

much about that. and how do we better data pierce my the corner for that there might that would buffer though. we have other problems that need seeing j o. net, the water supply and the lack of drinking water use what's by the sewage and the garbage. there is no recycling of his marsh. ah, today's been another poor hall for fisher status. even g lou pollution has led to a dramatic drop in fish here on the coast of the eugene seat. he has a pretty clear take on the volkswagen project or loft, or where he in magazine. what's going on here is the best thing that could have happened to us if wanted to quote, using organic and clean energy with no pollutants makes a big difference. what is the bottom of, i guess, be off water? shall she just like with organic produce? if you cobra york, it's, you know, gallsworthy is basically providing us with an organic product that bar cleaner for

the environment. got problema with the sub lenny today, ceo shannon lou lou volkswagen launching a project in an island that is home to just 1300 residents. it's actually ideal terrain for testing a range of developments that will be crucial for future mobility ah, the size of the island and the limited numbers of the street as tweets could be a great environment for autonomy driving as well as the palace a in a, in a region that this is still under development and so you'll have a some my different fe, lowe's, a regarding, ah, a on, on was driving a compared to cheddar, my, me or to the mainland greece using the island as a test lab for autonomy driving. has meant modernizing the 70 kilometer network of

roads. this is an easier challenge. volkswagen has now converted the majority velocity, police, public transport vehicles to electric power from police cars to ambulances, and local people choosing to go electric and look forward to a discount from b w. whether for an id, 3 or id for, for them. okay, from say, as driven by the mayor spots just about to vicious century, but i would say to the future because service or way of mobility is going to be quite unique ah cali opie mariachi border folks vox id for, for personal use. she is now a frequent visitor at the charging station in the main square of corda, and there are plenty of issues to discuss with her fellow e car owners. ah no, no,

legs edelman in there, we don't know what to do. if we encounter technical problems, stuff the in the voting on what he's supposed to do, the repairs in the service as though and other challenges volkswagen is presumably working on the car maker keeps meticulous track of every meter covered by its electric fleet across asking police to get data and facts and figures from the, from the utilization from, from the grid development, etc. so we, we bring this all together and, and, and take them all the relevant and information out of this and editing. so what are the staff say? truth be told, the number of residents you've now bought in e car is a dozen at most. i have not expected that

the, the, the change from combustion engines to waltz, the better electric vehicles takes so long. people are not changing so fast. they are cost. if you ask me what is the bit the, let's say the most positive aspect on it from my point of view of the how the, the asti bust service is accepted. riding on the asti bus is catching on a new business model that would be easy to transplant around the world. not coincidentally, vito use recently launched id buzz. is the ideal vehicle for the project? will asti police see the dawn of a new chapter in the history of the legendary vw bus companies? they try to create a new market, sir, and create new products that can add the extra profit. and the, this is,

or maybe the best way to do it by destiny took real time and in vitamin like us to puzzle. why don't you know, it's all about money. volkswagen has an eye on properties, but so do i let volkswagen market it's car to musical but we also stand a benefit amount by the island becoming more famous and getting more visitor gym. i hear that both was more asti poly is an island on the moon. everything changes, and this is why it's fascinating to be here at this time because this her project is gradually changing for the better of the worse. the i love an open ended experiment as it were, it depends how these type of investments take into account the local people considerations and their fee and their needs. ah, i think it's up to us to read fake advances before this project. and there's an ideal place to start this to try and then and use it as

a role model for other places are also a bigger scale. everything changes, or better or worse, osby play a might be more than just the model for a sustainable future. motoring towards a sustainable future and more on the next episode over at with a with
