a video, nevada, they have like a set of sons to sing along to download as the combo t from super munsey often use of doing for tie are varied courses put us into active exercises are available at d, w dot com slash doc planet on facebook. oh, in the lan gym and for free d w. today on rad. celebrating 40 year is a v o pell course. i ugandan app but encourages right sharing and a greek island where e these are key to a carbon neutral future. with

oval celebrates 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 cock. 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 the e version is also the while we're testing right now, or managed to add up the range from the regular 280 kilometer that the normal

course i have to 313 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 that 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 tied 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 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 these 4 spin right now. the though i think in the lower sitting in the 1st of all the car. 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 you didn't have air condition back at the time. the opal 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 kilometers 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 ways in that not even 750 kilograms. so it is quite nimble or sporty, or drivers. the course of a was also available and at 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 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 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 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 day became an award winning top seller with reduction totaling 3100000 units in 1993. despite the success of the original puerto, the, the aim,

the new 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 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. the 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 euros in germany for the gasoline version and

499 for the battery electric one. and honestly, i don't really know how to feed 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 more with the coarser ethan always has been a very successful model. and i really like that special edition, especially with these black accents. it looks so much better. the only thing i don't like is the fact that opal decided this cow will not be available to buy, but only in a sort of subscription will a monthly fee. or maybe i'm just not hip enough 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 and $500.00 euros a month for an e course. there is quite a bit of cash and katherine can, 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. a grand can good and be like that is this car. it has the 4 seats free, and the person that driveway is living at 6 back. then of course, when they book, i also call from marks carto 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

a row getting prices, prices wanting to prices. it's much more cost efficient to use different right? than other public means will drive. it will be safe. i move like a both a lot though i know struggling with whatever the case heating, virtual is, and all of that. so my journey is really stress free. i more relaxed ugandan data scientist susan are to rem, while is the brains behind the app. she developed the idea during the coven 19 induced lockdown, when many people lost their incomes. her plant 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 to one of your fine yesterday and i said, he's cutting plane. i'm the mike and come by let you can do 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 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 wildcat that will be a model for other people. get this in like a little closer with 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 to 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 replace 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 asti police energy independent and a future lab. for a global car company. we see what this connected is not about selling costs. 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 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 metric in one day as the bus you asked the bus because it's the best option for getting around the island. well, if you have cooler and it's very cheap, i've my love what we're doing then winning the nanette, he asked the we have to use energy to create something better for the wowza in up what that will be a model for other people in the gallery there of course, ah, today, nikos konita is going to try out nasty, go a sharing service that enables users to rent electric cars on the, on 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 yeah. ah, sometimes it doesn't work. you have to cover good for your why fi signal i have to . i have a bluetooth a signal and who's time, 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 to drive on the 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 farms 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 anytime soon . no major b and i don't see things going forward with this project project talk spock and only chosen to play i because it's so nice here which means better marketing for their products feel good body and i definitely she e. 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 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 d palais into a sustainable island has been the subject of heated debate at what i thought, i don't wanna 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, but 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. and other ways too, 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 on delay asleep. host 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 i, li, switch to sustainability. these is altering the balance in small and 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, polio. crucially for her, the islands, new sustainable image translates into a more exclusive and wealthier clientele to

wait to see poor little soon, all in this project is evolving things on so many friends. i'll be more and that also means improvements for our guests here on asked to play up and if you kept on finishing. so what we're hoping for is a longer see anybody tourists arriving earlier in the year and staying longer all these came up that he only taught him here in the old town of cora marias throughout the gaki runs a little, but she cafe it's a popular evening ponds for the islands, artists and intellectuals. and here to the changes already happening are the subject of intense debate with arsenal, medulla forgot to run a good holiday, 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 7 guys, he has a hurry on optics. sure. this means get develop many, but it's simply not healthy,

much about that. and how do we better date of your smart corner for both their mouth up with buffer though, we have other problems that need seeing j. o net, the water supply, and the lack of drinking water use, what are the sewage and the garbage? there is no recycling effect. 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 left or where he in magazine. what's going on here is the best thing that could have happened to us yet for the quote using organic and clean energy with no pollutants makes a big difference. what is the bottom of, i guess, be off? what 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 environmental copy. bravo lima will disable any today says you cannot 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. i see by liz a in a, in a region that this is still under development. and so you'll have her somewhere different. her laws are we regarding, ah, the funding was driving 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 of the 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 with m. okay, from say, as driven by the mayor spots just to paula 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's 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,

come no, not pull legs edelman in there. we don't know what to do if we encounter technical problems, stuff the in the you're voting on who'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 it's electric fleet . across ascii police you 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 take them all the relevant and information out of this in other text. so what are the stat 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 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, these 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, 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 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 water, the, the island an open ended experiment as it were. it depends how these type of investments take into account. the local people come to their atems and their fee theirs, and their needs. ah, i think it's up to us to read faith that dependencies before this project. and there's an ideal place to start the list to try it,

and then it 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 a model for a sustainable future motoring towards a sustainable future and more on the next episode. all brett, with
