to buy people more being exploited a green revolution on absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future is being determined. now, our documentary theories will show you how people, companies and countries are we thinking everything lacking late attained you have reviewed this week on d, w. today on rad, celebrating 40 years of the uphill course i, you kind an app but encourages right sharing and a greek island where e, these are key to a carbon neutral future. oval

celebrates at 40 years. of course our 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 one we are testing right now. opa manage to add 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 you manage the clock up 313 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 for 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 interior has a modern, neat and tidy look 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 feed covers of the 1st generation course, 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 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 now. the so as you

can see, now we're sitting in the 1st all the course of the a version. let me just goes to window 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 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 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 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 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. this by 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 $2500000.00 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. 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 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 subscript gym, 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. it 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 and $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. atlanta can good and be like there 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 called from marks. canto 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, with a rotating prices. healed price is going to prices, it's much more cost efficient to use it for right than other public means will drag. it woke up, besides a move like a boost. i looked though i know struggling with that, wouldn't buddha grace, hitting patrols and all that. so my jenny is 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 got why they have one new one of your find yesterday. and i said, you can play and imagine, come by let it can do what city in day africa with the why, why do you feel that it would reduce on this truck is going to definitely translate into a deputy with however, or to 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 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 in 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 world's got it. that will be a model for other people. get this boy in like a little closer. ah, mitchell radio. i'm worried that this will have a negative impact in june 2021. then volkswagen boss have a dease and greek prime minister curiosity switzer talk is formerly laid the foundations for a project set to make asked player a smart and sustainable island. an 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 nasty pulley 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 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 $24.00 seventh's. 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 the us, 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, my love what we're doing then winning the nanette, he asked the we have to use energy to create something better for the wowzer can up . that will be a model for other people in the gallery there. of course, ah, today, nikos 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 end. ah, sometimes it doesn't work. you have to recover good, very why fi signal i have to. i have a bluetooth a signal. i'm just, i'm, we're like you nickos konita screw 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 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 any time soon . no misery. i don't see things going forward with this project. a project walks walk in only chosen to play i because it's so nice here which means better marketing for their products. feel good 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 check

. so for this, if they were $10000.00 people living here, name and then there would be far more resistance. gordon more hosp active, turning ascii pele 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 marne, a boy, or via d. all that's different. sure is that asked, the police has become famous in florida, but gordon wants door. but otherwise, if i don't see any progress, i see why i believe very what oversaw all that media coverage has put ascii palais 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 stake and air. yeah, prices are going steadily up on the island is 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 island switch to sustainability. this is altering the balance in small in societies like us depaula because you have winners and losers. maria come parties, 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 say poor little food, all you please project is evolving things on so many front,

subbing. and that also means improvements guest sierra by the monastic polyethylene, skipped on the machine, says what we're hoping far as a longer sees anybody, tourists arriving earlier in the year and staying longer. holdeski mother young trotter here in the old town of cora marias throughout the gaki runs a little would 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. alternate medulla thought to run a good holiday no longer so easy to fix something miss broken softened because we've become famous overnight and there are a lot more people coming here. 7 guys here, gregory on optics. sure. this means get develop many thought let simply not healthy, much about and how do we better did of your mother corner for the family that we

bought from. though we have other problems that need seeing j thought net, the water supply and the lack of drinking water use, what's by the sewage on the garbage. there's no recycling profession, 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 all off the way he met his name. what's going on here is the best thing that could have happened to us yet for a decor using organic and clean energy with no pollutants makes a big difference. what is in the bottom of a good be off water? highly? she just like with organic produce in your cobra. your volkswagen is basically providing us with an organic product that's far cleaner for the environment. you got a problem with this plan today, so you can i live in 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 using the island as a test lab for autonomy driving has meant modernizing the 70 kilometer net worth of room visits. uneasy challenge

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, a 3 or id for with a mortgage, from se, 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 opi maniachi, 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. come no, no, legs. edelman. in there we don't know what to do if we encounter technical

problems, stuff that you're building 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 its electric fleet across ask the 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 analytical. so what are the stat say? truth be told, the number of residents you've now bought at 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 asked, the boss servers 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 tried 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 then vitamin like us to panel.

wonderful. now 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 the benefit of us by the island becoming more famous and getting more visitors. 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 was the island and open ended experiment as it were. it depends how these type of investments take into account to lock out. people considerations and their, the years and their needs i think it's up to us to read fake advances before this project and is an ideal place to start the list to try it. and then i use it as

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

who is weapon, nice thing. we've massive crop failures, broken supply chains. soaring global market prices. is this russia's treacherous new strategy to finance its war? while forging you alliances?
