ah, seek down a cozy near to your relax in 30 minutes on d w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner check hot spot for food, and some great cultural memorials to boot d w, travel off we go to day on rad, celebrating 40 years, a v o pell carsa. i, you kind an app but encourages right sharing and a greek island where e, these are key to a carbon neutral future. with

over celebrates at 40 years of course, 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 cop. 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. trains the 1st one is a regular gasoline engine, and it's also available as an e version version

is also the one we are testing right now. opa manage 2 and the range from the regular 280 kilometers that the normal course i have $2313.00 with this one. so you will have a few more kilometers, which is pretty neat and every day you while the manage the clock up $313.00 on paper, the 40 edition can go up to 353 kilometers on all electric power. one set, especially this apart from the regular versions, is the red color. it is based on the one, the old car, a 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 hide in the book. in the interior you will quickly notice

you're sitting in the special edition because of the seat covers that are reimagined versions of the seat covers of the 1st generation car for 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 model, 1981 will be available for customers and the last one open. we'll keep it for itself. the, 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 opa course saw a and we're going to take one of the 4 spin right now. the so as you can

see nowhere sitting in the 1st, all the course of the a version images 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 opal course a day viewed 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 a 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 nimble. 40 or drivers the course of a was also available and it vs i version with

a whopping $100.00 horsepower. also takes some getting used to at least if you're my age and not used to driving cars, that all of 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 a 2 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. busy years after, for example, the w polo ford, fiesta 8, was a pretty successful model and a lot of these cars were sold and people liked their old 1st day became an award winning top seller with reduction totaling 3100000 units i. he 93, despite the success of the original coarser, the company aimed

a new model at 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 units in 2006 the course a 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 feels 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. a 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, just for 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 defeat 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. it always has been a very successful model. and i really like that special edition especially will be 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 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 b. lanchen with an b like there is this car. it has the 4 seats free, and the person that driveway is living at $630.00. then of course, when they book, i also called from marks. canto also owns a car which he chooses to leave parked due to the rising cost of living. the

ride sharing app allows him to split the cost of travel with other motorists grinda, a ro, getting prices healed. price is going to prices. it's much more cost efficient to use different right? than other public means will drive. it woke up, 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 free. i'm relaxed. ugandan data scientist susan, utter rem walk is the brains behind the act. she developed the idea during the cobra 19 induced lockdown when many people lost their incomes. her plan to all 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, you can play and imagine, come by let you can what city in day africa with the why, why do you feel safe? what would read you on the truck is going to definitely translate into a deputy with however, author m was major challenges funding having bankrolled to start up with their savings for 2 years. she's now homing partners will come on board. her ultimate goal is for digital solutions, like the phone or right app to bridge infrastructure gaps, inspire smart cities and dr. economies across africa asked be player 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 the 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 wildcat that will be a model for other people. get this boy in like a little closer. ah, my familiar, i'm worried that this will have a negative impact in june 2021. then volkswagen boss have a d. s. and greek prime minister curia cos. mitzo talk is formerly laid the foundations for a project set to make ascii 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 plants 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 set 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 us 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 pillows 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 poor, 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 euros medic, in one of the as the mass you asti bass because it's the best option for getting around the island. well, if you have cooler and it's very cheap, 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. that will be a model for other people in the galley there. of course, ah, to ne, nickos konita is, is going to try out nasty, go a sharing service that enables users to rent electric cars on the, the,

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 cover good, very why fi signal you have to. i have a bluetooth a signal. i'm just, i'm who are like you nikos konita grew up on ascii, kaleya, 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 governor road. but i would certainly prefer my or 4 by 4 car for the read off that. 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 forms 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. project ok spoken only chosen to play i because it's so nice here. which means better marketing for their products. feel get body and have yeah for mission. and another reason is shane as that, as we're only about 1300 people, leave us. 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, with 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 don't want change asked, bella should stay how it is. no more, no boy, or via d. all that's different. sure is that asked, the police has become famous in florida. gordon walked off, but otherwise, 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 lycos because of the extreme

publicity that the, the islander how steak and eh yeah, prices are, are going steadily up on the island east changing towards more and more post destination on the leslie 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 islands switch to sustainability. these is altering the balance in small and so site is like us depaula because you have winners and losers. maria come port is clearly among the winners. she runs the swankiest hotel in cora, the cap, lebowski, polio. crucially for her. the islands, new sustainable image translates into a more exclusive and wealthier clientele to

wait to see or not a little phone. all you little project is evolving things on so many friends will be more. and that also means improvements for our guests here by them on asked to play. athens kept on finishing, says, what we're hoping for is a longer sees anybody tourists arriving earlier in the year and staying longer. these came up that he only taught him here in the old town of corta marias throughout the gaki runs a little, but she cafe it's a popular evening haunt for the islands, artists and intellectuals. and here to the changes already happening are the subject of intense debate with often omitted during after that run. okay. how did i no longer so easy to fix something that's broken stuff and it got we've become famous overnight and there are a lot more people coming here. 7 guys, he has

a union optics. sure. this means get develop many thoughts. it's simply not healthy, much up also, and how do we better data? here's my the corner for that there might that would buffer me though. we have other problems that need seeing tape the net, the water supply and the lack of drinking water. thank you. so what about the sewage and the garbage? there's no recycling of his marsh. ah, today's been another poor hall for fisher starts 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 folks morgan project or lofton, where he in magazine what's going on here is the best thing that could have happened to us if you 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 charlotte? she just like with organic produce sheila, you cobra york. it's, you know?

gold suargo is basically providing us with an organic product that spark cleaner for the environment you got the problem. i will just blend today, so he'll come a little while going. launching a project in an island that is home to just 1300 residents. it's actually ideal terrain for testing a range of development that will be crucial for future mobility. the size of the island and the limited numbers of st as tweets could be a great environment for autonomy is driving as well as a region that is still under development. so you have some different lows regarding the funding was driving to money or to the mainland grease the using the island as

a test lab for autonomy driving has meant modernizing the 70 kilometer network of road. this is an easier challenge. volkswagen has now converted the majority, typically as public transport vehicles to electric power, from police cars, to ambulances, and local people choosing to go electric can look forward to a discount from the w. whether for an id, 3 or id for them. ok from say, as driven by the mayor of this century, but i would say to the future, because vis a way of mobility is going to be quite unique, the cali, mariachi motor folks vox id for, for personal use. she's now a frequent visitor at the charging station in the main square, of course. and there are plenty of issues to discuss with her fellow car owners. ah,

dominant fool legs adul math in no, we don't know what to do if we encounter technical problems. stuff to kinda the yard boating on was who's supposed to do the repairs and in a savage ever. and other challenge at volkswagen is presumably working on the car maker keeps meticulous track of every meter covered by its electric fleet. across osteopath, leon, you get data and facts and figures from the, from the utilization from, from the grit development, et cetera. us, we, we bring this all together and, and, and take them all the relevant and information out of this analytics. so what are the stat say? truth be told the number of residents you've now bought 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 bus. so this 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 used recently launched id buzz is the ideal vehicle for the project? well 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 maybe the best way to do it by destiny, real time and, and vitamin like us to pilot. 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 hard to musical, but we also stand a benefit to vote by the island becoming more famous and getting more visitor, jim. i hear that both was more asti poly is an island on the moon and 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 war. so the island an open ended experiment as it were. it depends how these type of investments take into account to lock out people considerations and their fear and their needs with. i think it's up to ask you to read fake that bundle to support this project. and is it an ideal place to

start this to try and then and use it as a role model for other places or not, or something bigger scale? everything changes. for better or worse. play a might be more than just a model for a sustainable future. motoring towards a sustainable future and more on the next episode i'll grab with with
