and electric pick up was about it's considered an oxymoron enough anymore with the ford f. 150 is the most selling car in the u. s. and it's finally coming to europe. but this one has a little zap to the ford f 150 lightning. so a purely electric car. let's check it out. welcome to read the f 150 has been the best selling vehicle in the us, the 41 years of 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 little household flop to 3 days. that's crazy and nice feature. i like it. speaking of coffee tricks, if you want to have a january in the middle of nowhere, the f 150 provides the energy you'll need for. and the chuck badge has enough space

this because many refrigerators but neat features alone don't make where that vehicle says. what's it behind this? dealing with this car can do anything irregular 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 tow the same amount. this car is basically a better version, or at least, let's 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. then upgrading to the big battery will clean up, you'll want the smaller one gives you around 370 kilometers range and the big along

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 just a temperature file and touch screen as well. but we've talked about it that often other cause 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 and more interesting. this car has

a frog because it does need the engine on the hood. then there will be more space and even more secrets. i will show you right now. of course, no man power needed to open up on it. this huge and heavy 400 league as of capacity on the electric hoarder right here. and you have even more than that, right below you half the space for cable, 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 desert case in germany, cars are typically 4.6 meters long, and talking about the fight meters long for me to last the one the entry level version of the f. 150 lightning comes in at a whopping 332 kilowatts of power and you feel that once you press the. busy

accelerator, it shoots for water and that despite the fact that this vehicle is like around 3 tons heavy, it feels really nice. nimble despite it felt and clean. the thing is clear, you are 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, not 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 s one, huge car, and i mean, that's good for the u. s. spot in germany and in europe,

it is 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 a can have a lot of low purely electric. what ask what you want from such a car? wow, full is have 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 seem to like that. it said less the tile. what costs with a high load capacity and its own electric tape? but with a maximum of charging speed of a 150 kilowatts. this way, for improvements from the prior into the fuel tank is used cooking oil, the environmentally friendly solution for old combustion engines. easy,

i always say 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 but if i feel i'm doing the right thing, i'm protecting the rivers. i'm protecting the environment in his mission with the camper. to educate people about recycling is gold, a bree cross border transport solution. pick them up in when we're in a key of frontier 4 by 4 from 2000 for my daughter with a 2.9 liter diesel engine. and it runs flawlessly and seats 6 people, a guy when they've been together, we've converted it into a camper. either fema gambit. what makes this camper special? it runs on recycled cooking oil bit theory. who police vehicle is called the edge of camper naval gun. the edge you camper has to fuel is it used cooking oil and

diesel e v, and it has 2 fuel lines. seeing as they're 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 bell. this system only works with 100 percent vegetable oil. can i fail? 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 with a coil system or a water heater system, but i've been thrown. 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

ignition systems. it's 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 believed to not support oil as a fuel. grandma some went up but of my faith in perfect. so you definitely have to do a little research before adapting a vehicle of that. but in the end, but there are specific simple motors that also always work in the same way or from you and. and that, i mean my manager, the onboard computer helps rodolfo switch from diesel to oil very easily. even while driving is an affair. this opens a solid noise valve that allows oil to enter the engine for it. and when i press it again, it closes the oil solenoid valve and opens the diesel saline oil valve. yeah, but it about without vale. these one of the biggest advantages with this is stuff

is that you can refuel wherever you want. and it's free of charge. all you need is used cooking oil 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 that are going where they pick up. but since this is oil i collected a short while ago, you 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

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 from 40 and 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 for you 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. the you look at the thought that the but i don't, if i heated up to a high temperature, it will liquefy beto as you, but it needs to be very hot. the music there,

my badge or my system can withstand here to 40 degrees celsius chemo. in and in my vehicle mean oil that 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 rate 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. gov using cooking oil. virginia leaders the allowed out i had in 1987 v w. golf. got 1.6 liter diesel named laura beef it global. that also ran on oil. yes sir. that expedition from canada. it actually lasted 22. my wonder if it effects based on that and we covered 17 countries and we

had 11 clinical who boarded and disembarked at various points. it was like an uber official yet. and if there are, i don't forget 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 beacon us and thought maybe reaching all the capital city, darla, cadillac, global and collaborating with everyone with the messages of caring for the environmental zone, l'aquila ambien fit. we helped highlight the importance of rivers, you know, we use it through 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

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, the fatigue of units harder to co pay 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 want galleon fair. i say it there. ah. the original engine was not disturbed during the modification. there were merely a few parts added. it was a model being seen, 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 here you can see the injectors, are you the name here? we have the water after it's run through the cooling system that cools the engine

we're done with it. the one. busy road, but before it gets to the radiator, we take it out there most ago. our guardian and send it through this hot water loop already that was extended to the external oil tank at the back. oh wow. guardian bath, you had that off of your tank. the hot water from the engine compartment comes here to the back of the oil tank and is drained off for 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 chill and shrugs off concerns that lines filter is an injection pumps could break in which again phase there are

a lot of people say all the injectors are going to fail to visit messy them all 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 make an incentive on injection poverty level and bus. and so with oil, it's the same all humans, and the more you take care to filter and d, county oil, they the longer you can maintain it and guided samantha as 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 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. fatal paper,

the handle of 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 it. 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, but also may have the right solution for cross border inter continental transport. ah, when will you be 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,

and you'll always be up to speed. ah, the morris j type. a venerable old van that thanks to its 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 the pathology, oberlin acacia to sustainability as well. i'm to like wipes. just makes everybody's happy. it just brings happiness back to the bun. market. the morris always going to not product style and we have story much continued that still. the j type gave the postwar a british economy a much needed based of orest, i thought was popular photo based on such po to you. oh,

good bye. for postwar britain, the j type became what the v w bus was for west germany. c more spilt 60000 units between 194-9960 and now it's made and all the electric come back. we've had the concept of making a very lightweight 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 built 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 too. as a women in the vine word, and i believe we should to bring some glamour into the van. why every that have to

be whiter in a boxy and a why cannot be you know a something angle i really attractive. so i like to build the vehicle ah, desirable, i'm day and sustainable. 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 thought was utilitarian, beautiful, it was a bunch of roll hybrid neighbors style and prism stood out from the bottom of the time. like that is partly why we've adopted that as the the going to pull the view for is j. the morris j e b e standing for electric is not just a straight forward retro copy of the original. although it has taken on board. it's

most important features familiar, iconic j type, which was liter. 1948. we have this fantastic grill, which is unique to that and is asked a face of morris commercial, other which has 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 bum. i'd had a great capacity, has these curve roof line so low at the front, but a big curve. and we've carried that 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

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 taught. and as the j type itself was known in his day for innovation, so is the j e e, e e. 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

a carbon fiber construction, i, a key feature of the j e is the fully recycled carbon fiber body. which of course happy to pinpointed, but we can see 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 white with a battery and gives us a she put 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 this and we

incorporate a vehicle to grid 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 that how hard work it will get those guys failing is quite hard and read be about moment is limited so i believe i do belong to the 2020 even though that the retro style is so similar. we've 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 morse, j. e. a vehicle that brings together the best of, and era's up automotive engineering. and stage you for more details of automotive transformation on the next episode of red ah, with
