vince was 4000 foot kind of fun, got a stumbling emergency conflict in ukraine, the european war intent voices rushes war in ukraine in one year since the innovation began we take a lead back and into the future. in the new building. slowly in february on d, w ah, the best selling vehicle in the united states gets electrified, used cooking oil powers, a camper van chilly. and britain's iconic mars j type gets a battery powered make over. all this a more now on red. with
10:31 pm
an electric pitcock with was considered an oxymoron anymore with the ford f. $150.00 is the most selling car in the us and it's finally coming to europe. but this one has a little zap to it. the ford f 150 the lightning. so purely electric car, let's check it out. welcome to wrap. the f 150 has been the best selling vehicle in the us, the 41 years on the truck. but does the electric version have what it takes to replicate its big brothers success? this car can also give its energy to power a little household for up to 3 days. that's crazy and nice feature. i like it. speaking of coffee tricks, if you want to have a jam berry in the middle of nowhere, the f 150 provides the energy you'll need forrest and the truck badge has enough
10:32 pm
space because many refrigerators but neat features alone don't make with the vehicle. said what's it behind dealing with this car can do anything a regular f 150 can do as well. ford said that was very important during the development of this car, so it has the same payload. it can tell the same amount. this car is basically a better version, or at least let say a non emitting version of the f 150 with combustion engine. the f 150 can so 885 is the fact that the f 150 lightning comes with 2 different battery size, is the smaller 1898 kilowatt hours. and the bigger one has a whopping 130 kilowatt hour. upgrading to the big battery, we'll clean out, don't want it. the smaller one gives you around 370 kilometers off range and the
10:33 pm
bigger one around $500.00. and if you can actually get close to these ranges, that would be really good for the car off that size and that weight, ah, the interior of the ford f 150 lightning. at 1st glance, it is rather clean and you also get some vibes off a work horse because basically this car is a work horse, but it looks good anyway. especially that huge touch screen here in the middle east . nice to look at, easy to operate. and the only thing i don't like is that you have to adjust the temperature, violet touchscreen as well, but we've talked about it that often. other cars have the same problem. apart from that, what you instantly see is there is so much space in here and it's clear and the car is huge from the outside. so there is also a lot of space in the interior and what's even more interest. this car has
10:34 pm
a frog because it doesn't need the engine on the hood. then there will be more space and even more secrets. i will show you right now. no, ma'am. how many did taken up on it? this huge and heavy. 400 leaders of capacity on the electric hoarder right here. and you have even more than that, right below you. half the space for cables, for example, right here you will find the power outlet. those are american versions right now, but when it comes to germany, of course, kate will have regular household sockets because you can use it, for example, to power an electric drill or a vacuum cleaner. desi case in germany. cars are typically 4.6 meters long parking spots or 5 meters long. for me to last one, the entry level version of the f 150 lightning comes in and a whopping 332 kilowatts of power. and you feel that once you press the accelerator,
10:35 pm
it shoots forwards and that despite the fact that this vehicle is like around 3 tons heavy, it feels really nice. nimble despite itself and clean a thing if career you're sitting rather high in this vehicle higher than most of the other participants in the traffic. you can look down on them somewhat. i mean really, but you could because you're driving fuel electric. so you have no c o 2 emissions locally. so you're better than most of the other costs you see driving around moral high ground, assigned to keep in mind that if you load up the flat bed completely f, 150 lightnings range will drop dramatically. the f 150 is one huge car, and i mean that's it for the u. s. spot in germany and in europe it is
10:36 pm
a little difficult to find parking spaces or to get into a parking garage. but apart from that, this car is really nice. i enjoy driving it because this one can do what any other half 150 version can do as well. it can tall. it can have a lot of lower purely electric. what ask what you want from such a car? wow. force had to close for you. does that the f 150 lighting back in december 2022 because old 200000 units, they planned on making found bias. people things like that. it said less a tile. what costs with a high load capacity and is all electric tape. but with a maximum challenging speed of 150 kilowatt this way, for him crazy. from the prior into the fuel tank is used cooking oil, the environmentally friendly solution for old combustion engines. i always say
10:37 pm
there are more restaurants than fuel stations to land. rodolfo products certainly is convinced that this technology and already uses it to power his camper van. he's a convert. can i feel i'm doing the right thing? i'm protecting the rivers. i'm protecting the environment to being his mission, with the camper. to educate people about recycling his gold, a pre cross border transport solution, done with internet. we're in a key of frontier 4 by 4 from 2004 more dollars with a 2.9 liter diesel engine. and it runs flawlessly. and seats 6 people, a guy will live in again. we've converted it into a camper, either fema gangrene. what makes his camper special? it runs on recycled cooking oil bit theory. widow police vehicle is called the edge of camper label gun, but the edge you camper has to fuel is it used cooking oil and diesel easy. and it
10:38 pm
has to fuel lines. seeing as the going with rodolfo uses a small on board computer to switch between the 2 fuels. this computer shows him a lot of data, like the temperature of the oil, which is critical information from them in value. this system only works with 100 percent vegetable oil. good faith and what's essential is that it's heated remitted within the 1st i use diesel until the water from the radiator warms up. yeah, that was exactly. and once the water is hot, that heat's the oil within the oil tank was a coil system or a water heater system, whatever they did. thank you, i think by heating the vegetable oil in a separate tank. the alternative fuel acquires a viscosity and burning properties. similar to diesel vegetable oil is not suitable as a fuel for gasoline engines. folder. diesel engines, on the other hand, can be easily converted since the technology used in the injection systems and the
10:39 pm
ignition systems is very robust. not only will us, not all vehicles can be converted to run on oil just to see many can be one, but there are some specific motors that are believe to not support oil as a fuel. if you get an awesome going up. bottle of faith in perfect, so you definitely have to do a little research before adapting a vehicle of that fit in the end. but there are specific simple motors that also always work in the same way, repulsion, and that, i mean my mind at the onboard computer helps rodolfo switch from diesel to oil very easily. even while driving hillock is an affair. this opens a solid noise valve that allows oil to enter the engine. me think it, and when i press it again, it closes the oil solenoid valve and opens the diesel solenoid valve. yeah, but it about vale. these one of the biggest advantages with this system
10:40 pm
that you can refuel wherever you want, and it's free of charge. all you need is used cooking from the kitchen and a filter. ah, that must be remembered. oh boy, if the more attention i paid to the oil my, the longer my engine will perform, i have to filter the oil. if it's been decanted for a long time, the impurities will have settled at the bottom. it'll go away. i think everybody. but since this is oil i collected a short while ago, it might have particles of french fries or, and bananas, or chicken, or anything that has been cooked in it to my, within the system with a my oil fuel line. there's another filter that again, filters, minor particles. right? so here at this point i really try to capture all the bigger particles, but on behalf of it i'm, after the 1st filtration process, rodolfo can pour the oil straight into his tank, which is located at the back of the camper. its capacity is $100.00 leaders which
10:41 pm
lets the vehicle travel around 800 kilometers. if you're, if it longer. but if i'm going to cover long distances, i can carry several drums and filter of the oil anywhere fuel portion buffy. i use 100 percent oil. it was when i use oil, i use 100 percent oil. i don't mix it with diesel, and i don't make biodiesel either. i don't need methanol of any group. i don't need to do any chemical process is to have the fuel. i get to a restaurant and i can filter it outside the restaurant and use it to run you a satellite. but he can't just use any oil from the kitchen. if the oil is mixed with water, for example, it doesn't work. since the process of separating the oil and water is too complex, plus palm oil is too hard to look at in the thought that the but i don't if i heated up to a high temperature, it will liquefy beto, missouri, but it needs to be very hot the music there, my bed to my system can withstand here to 40 degrees celsius. more in and in
10:42 pm
my vehicle, me oil vac density. black can't be used to then, so ah, the technology itself is not new. in the 2 thousands, some cars in europe ran on vegetable oil at gas stations. you could sometimes even get raped, seed oil. and for rodolfo, it's not a 1st for him to have a vehicle powered by recycled cooking oil between 20082010. the 41 year old drove from canada, the chili and a b. w. gulf using cooking oil. merging leaders allowed out i had in 1987 v w golf got 1.6 liter diesel named laura bc global that also ran on oil. yeah. fair. that expedition from canada to chile lasted 20 to migrate north effects based on that. and we covered 17 countries and
10:43 pm
we had 11 clinical who boarded and disembarked at various points. it was like an uber official yet, and is there a i don't for one over at that time rodolfo had the idea of using the car to educate people. thus securing funding for the trip. he visited schools displayed the car and explain the concept of recycling. give hello, what was incredible, was meeting very remote indigenous communities throughout latin america in be kenneth mentor, matey, reaching all the capital city. i like i be political and collaborating with everyone with the messages of caring for the environmental's own little we on ambien thing. we helped highlight the importance of rivers, you know rios gorilla in the struggle to take care of and defend the rivers and the need to educate people about environmental issues related to rivers, a. e, u, at a low cost. but almost current camper isn't just for his own use. he also drives it
10:44 pm
to schools in the south of the country and provides environmental education there. he carried out most of the modifications needed to make the camper run on oil himself. with the help of a mechanic friend a my difficulty in it's harder to copy than to install an oil system in the car. in the end, it's adding an extra fuel line and bringing hot water to the system you about to lay i what galleon? fay, i say it there. ah, the original engine was not disturbed during the modification. there were merely a few parts added it was a mother being to the radiator has an extended water circuit choir, which we take to the external tank at the back. external address for now we have the main engine id, akira, the injection part. you said got here you can see the injectors. are you then? am i here we have the water after it's run through the cooling system. that cools
10:45 pm
the engine. we're done looking at the wine road. busy before it gets to the radiator, we take it out grandma seco our guardian and send it through this hot water loop that was extended to the external oil tank at the back. oh wow. guardian bath. yet that i feel thanking the hot water from the engine compartment comes here to the back of the oil tank and is drained off through the extra water circuit. and with the help of this spiral of water, the oil is constantly heat it. another water spiral was installed in the engine compartment where there's a filter embedded in this way. the oil arriving from the tank is kept warm until the end and is filtered again in front of the injection pump. there were some teething problems at the beginning, bought the chilean shrugs or concerns that lines filter is an injection pumps could break them which again phases are a lot of people say all the injectors are going to fail to least measure them all
10:46 pm
diesel cars need the same maintenance you the neo 2, i had a diesel car without oil fina faith. you still have to make changes come year. you still have to do maintenance on injection poverty level and bus. and so with oil, it's the same he meant and the more you take care to filter and d, county oil, they the longer you can maintain it and guide is a month since you rodolfo can recommend this type of converted drive train to many people, especially travelers and long distance drivers, but he also thinks the mod make sense for school buses and garbage trucks. ah, in addition to the technical upgrade, rodolfo gave the camper a new colorful coat of paint. ah, with i will, i feel like i'm doing the right thing. even though i drive slower and i get dirtier because i have to filter the oil and collect the oil. but i'm protecting the rivers and protecting the environment. federal paper,
10:47 pm
the handler videos that they've been on helping to let other people know that they can also do so and they can do it by recycling oil. yeah. douglas glenn, method converting all old diesel engines to vegetable oil is never going to happen. not all engines are suitable for. the conversion offers no benefit for short journeys. and the time it takes to collect and filter the oil, as well as the slower driving is likely to deter many people. but for those who still want to enjoy traveling in a vehicle that runs on recycled oil, rodolfo may have the right solution for cross border inter continental transport. ah, when the yogi will, when i say i want transport from patagonia to alaska to be inter continental public transport. i'm thinking there would be some vehicle. yeah. yeah. or vehicles. so vehicle always crisscrossing the american lady got him. but if the aim is to spread,
10:48 pm
the idea that began here at the foot of the act of b r e co volcano, across the entire western hemisphere. but i'll vote out, i will travel many miles to achieve skull. and who knows, maybe one day he'll find himself on a bus running on recycled cooking oil from patagonia to alaska. ah ah. if you want more red check out our youtube channel. if you want regular features about new cars and car culture, about mobility around the world. read can make you very happy. ha vintage classics and future tech or just somebody exciting content waiting for you . subscribe to us at youtube slash dw read,

and you'll always be up to speed. ah, the morris j type up in horrible old van that thanks to it's cute and cuddly looks brought a smile to the faces of british people in the 1950s. and now it's back in a 21st century edition. this bible is rudy. a revolution bringing a facility, oberlin acacia to sustainability as well. i'm to like wipes. just makes everybody happy. it just brings happiness back to the by market. morris. always more so not product style, and we have very much continued that still the j type gave the post war a british economy, a much needed based of orest, i thought was popular because of a confess body of good bye. for postwar britain,
10:50 pm
the j time became what the v w bus was for west germany. more spilt 60000 units between 19491960. and now it's made in all the electric come back with the concept of making a very light white electric van that was designed to be electric from the start. and we actually had access to a couple of the original j types. the project was initiated by cooley, a business woman with decades of experience in the car industry. she acquired the rights to morris commercial, the company that builds the original j type. li teamed up with former bentley executive john killick to found a startup their mission to continue making bands that stood out from the crowd and the new millennium to as a, with me in the van word. and i, i believe we should to bring some glamour into the van. why every,
10:51 pm
that have to be white in a boxy and a why cannot be, you know, a something ang, and i really attractive. so i like to build the vehicle, ah decidable and, and sustainable. mm hm. and the more estate i provided an ideal basis, a vehicle with a quirky appearance that to this day makes it a popular choice for marketing and efforts. although the forest j talk was utilitarian, beautiful, it was a bunch of roll hybrid neighbors. style and prism stood out from the bottom of the time about his body. why we've adopted as the the going to pull the view for his j the morris j e b. e, standing for electric is not just a straight forward retro copy of the original,
10:52 pm
although it has taken on board, it's most important features. familiar, iconic j type, which was felicia 1948. we have this fantastic grill, which is unique to that and is asked a face of morris commercial, other we have taken that quite faithfully on to the new style and the new morris j . e. very much carries over the smiling face and the personality that 1st came out in 1948 and all the things that may be old model. so practical and so appreciated can be found in it success or to another key feature of the 1948 vehicle which was in its day was called the big little bun. i've had a great capacity, has these curve, roof roy, so low at the front with a big curve. and we've carried back very much into the j e, which also has a high center. the roof gives a great rear capacity. having the cabin in front of the front axle and the engine
10:53 pm
between the drivers and passenger seat was a revolution in utility vehicle design. the chassis provided the base for a wide range of body styles from delivery truck to ice, cream van. while the electric power train has meant a number of changes, the underlying principle has been retained. the chassis was designed in a way that enables the vehicle to be used as a mini bus camper van, or pick up so the, the new j e is, is a complete re imagination of the original j type. and as the j type itself was known in his day for innovation, so is the jo ye now these days efficiency as the priority in e car design. and as efficiency begins with a weight factor, the entire chassis, including the base plate for the batteries, was fashioned by hand from aluminum. while the j ease body is
10:54 pm
a carbon fiber construction, i, a key feature of the j o e is the fully recycled carbon fiber body. which of course happy to pinpoint it, but we can some of the carbon on the inside of the cargo area here. and the main benefit is this. we have only a 140 kilogram white of the body. and that does a great deal to offset the weight of the battery and gives us a shoe per range and she per payload. and that gives the use of less journeys to transport, the same, the same goods. and then there's the one big difference between the 2 models. for the key innovation is the electrical power unit, which we can see a small amount of can here. we have the charge unit, we have the power distribution unit, and right down below is the motor and the inverter system. so access to the charge port through here like this and we
10:55 pm
incorporate a vehicle to grid, the electrical charging system on vehicle to vehicle charging system. the j type. born in 1948 and the j e from 2022. each is innovative, practical and pretty in its own way. so which is the more attractive vehicle? so comparing the old and the new, which would you say is more sexy? well, i would have to cite the new as let's just say that sitting at the wheel of an old j type is something other unique experience driving this you realize how hard work it will get. those guys failing is quite hard and they'd be about a limited go, be they so i do belong to the 2020 even though the retro style is so similar. we've
10:56 pm
moved forward 60 years also successfully shaping the future. means understanding the past, a notion that the british start up has translated to the road with a morris j e, a vehicle that brings to to the best of different areas of automotive engineering. and stage you for more details of automotive transformation on the next episode of red ah, with
10:57 pm
10:58 pm
you launch, for the moment that comes like everything with our series found is bally africa in ruin the lives of millions of people in turkey and syria. it was a catastrophe. many had predicted primarily striking, those already struggling to survive. we travel to areas hardest hit and encounter despair, grief and anger to 90 minutes on d. w. ah . and sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental
10:59 pm
conservation to life with learning packs like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing. download it now, feel free. mm hm. mm. should we? oh, how do we treat animals and why hasn't anything changed? it does. this is actually a clear violation of animal protection. why? why do we love so much as companions while eating others? yeah, i never thought about how strange it was that i could pet my dog with one hand while i ate a pork chop with the other. what is the alternative and how does it taste? it's like the real thing. yes out. will we all be vegan and 50 years?
11:00 pm
i literally think that like are the next generations. well, i look back and say, that's crazy that we ever use animals to get a documentary series about the future of food. and there were complex relationship with animals. the great meat debate this week on d w. ah, if this is d w news and these are our top stories, had tie province in southeast and turkey has been heat by and you, earth quite the interior minister says at least 3 people have been killed and hundreds injured, 2 weeks ago, a powerful, quite killed.
