your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows. it's made from golden retrievers. should meet. 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world, people learn to classify a small handful of animals as edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting. a docu series about our complex relationship with animals. the great meat debate. this week on d. w. and 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 and more now on red
8:31 pm
and electric pick up with was considered an oxymoron 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 it. the ford f 150 lightning, so 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 on the truck. but does the electric version have what it takes to replicate it? speak rather 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 it. and the truck badge has enough
8:32 pm
space this because many refrigerators and that's neat features alone. don't make with said what's it behind 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 told 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 sizes. the smaller 1898 kilowatt hours and the bigger one has a whopping 130 kilowatt hour. then upgrading to the big a battery, we'll clean out. you'll want the smaller one gives you around 370 kilometers range
8:33 pm
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, bio and touch screen 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
8:34 pm
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. no, ma'am. how many did taken up on it? this huge and heavy? 400 liters 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. desert case in germany, cars are typically 4.6 meters long. i'm talking about so 5 meters long for me to last for the one. the entry level version of the f 150 lightning comes in and a whopping 300. busy 32 kilowatts of power and you feel that once you press the
8:35 pm
accelerator, it shoots for was and that despite the fact that this vehicle is like around 3 tongs 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. decide to keep in mind that if you load up the flat bed completely f, $150.00 lightnings range will drop dramatically. the f 150 is one huge car, and i mean that's for the u. s. spot in germany and in europe it is
8:36 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 low purely electric. what ask what you want from such a car? wow, full is had to close for you. does that the f 159 eng 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 course with a high load capacity and its own electric tape, but with a maximum charging speed of a 150 kilowatts, says wait for improve from the prior into the fuel tank is used cooking oil, the environmentally friendly solution for old combustion engines. i always say
8:37 pm
there are more restaurants than fuel stations. july and 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 again fit his mission with the camper. to educate people about recycling is gold. a pre 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 annual. it runs flawlessly and seats 6 people. if a guy will live in a gap, we've converted it into a camper. even if he montgomery, what makes his camper special? it runs on recycled cooking oil bit theory will police vehicle is called the edge of camper naval gun. the edge you camper has to fuel is it used cooking oil and
8:38 pm
diesel e v, and it has 2 fuel lines. seeing as the gun 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. excellent, i'm in bed. 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 that got you. and once the water is hot, that heat's the oil within the oil tank was a coil system. or a water heater system, right. i think it did. thank you. i think by heating the vegetable oil in a separate tank. the alternative fuel acquires of 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
8:39 pm
ignition systems. it's very robust, not the labels, 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 figure unless some way not part 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 solenoid 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 system
8:40 pm
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, the more attention i paid to the oil my the longer my engine will perform. ringback 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 him or 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, for the oil straight into his tank, which is located at the back of the camper. its capacity is $100.00 leaders which
8:41 pm
lets the vehicle travel around 800 kilometers. but if you're, if it longer, but if i'm going to cover long distances, i can carry several drums and filter 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. and i think that with my 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 thought 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 bed to my system can withstand here to 40 degrees celsius. more in and in
8:42 pm
my vehicle need oil back density, black can't be used 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 chile and a b. w. golf using cooking oil. virginia leaders the 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 chilly lasted 22, my wife. it effects based on that and we covered 17 countries and we had 11
8:43 pm
clinical who boarded and disembarked at various points. it was like an uber official yet, and is there a i don't for going 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 d. 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 pre own be unfair. we helped highlight the importance of rivers. you know, we use guerrilla in the struggle to take care of and defend the rivers and the need to educate people about environmental issues related to rivers. i. e, are you at a location? but almost current camper isn't just for his own use. he also drives it to schools
8:44 pm
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 and 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 seen. the radiator has an extended water circuit which we take to the external tank at the back. extend my breath for now we have the main engine id, akira the injection part. you still can't hear. you can see the injectors. are you the name on here? we have the water after it's run through the cooling system. the cools the engine
8:45 pm
madonica to want to. busy busy road, but before it gets to the radiator, we take it out there months ago 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 heated. 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 n and is filtered again in front of injection. ah, there were some teething problems at the beginning, but the chile and shrugs or concerns that lines filters and injection pumps could break beam which again, based on a lot of people say all the injectors are going to fail to visit missy. them all
8:46 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 partners, yvonne bath. and so with oil, it's the same. he and the more you take care to filter and d county oil, they the longer you can maintain it on got it 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, camper, and i will, i feel like i'm doing the right thing. even though i drive slower, okay. 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,
8:47 pm
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, the glenn method, converting all old diesel engines to bed. stable 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, but also 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 criss crossing,
8:48 pm
the american lady got him. but if the aim is to spread, 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, if you want more read 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, very happy. ah vintage classics and future tech or just some of the exciting content waiting for you. subscribe to us at youtube slash

d. w. read 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 happy. it just brings happiness back to the obamacare. the more is always going to not product style and we have very much continued that installed the j type gave the postwar british economy a much needed based of orest. i thought was popular because of it's been such good
8:50 pm
for you. oh, good bye. i'm for postwar britain, the j type became what the v w bus was for west germany. c morris built 60000 units between 19491960 now it's made in all the leg come back with us. 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 to esa a women in the van word. and i, i believe we should to bring some glamour into the van. why every bad have to be
8:51 pm
white in a boxy and the why can not be you know, a something angle i really attractive. so i like had to build the vehicle ah, desirable. and, and sustainable. mm hm. and the morris j t. 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 a utilitarian bertha was a bunch of roll. hybrid nobles, style and prism stood out for problems of the time. that is partly why we've adopted that as the the going to pull that you for is j. the morris j e b e standing for electric is not just a straight forward retro copy of the original,
8:52 pm
although it has taken on board its most important features from the old iconic j. todd, which was liter 1948. we have this fantastic grill, which is unique to that and is face of morris commercial. other we have taken that quite faithfully on to the new style and the new maurice j. e. very much carries over the smiling face on the personality that 1st came out in 1948 and all the things that maybe 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 bam, i've had a great capacity, has this curve roofline 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 of the roof, gives a great rear capacity having the cabin in front of the front axle and the engine
8:53 pm
between the drivers and passenger seat's 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 its day for innovation, so is the j. now these days efficiency is the priority in e car design. and as efficiency begins with the weight factor, the entire chassis, including the base plate for the batteries, was fashioned by hand from aluminum. while the j ease body is
8:54 pm
a carbon fiber construction, a t feature of the j o e is the fully recycled carbon fiber body, which of course happy to painted, 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 the battery and gives us a super range entry 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
8:55 pm
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 boy hard read. be about a did limited go be they said i do belong to the 2020 even though the retro style is so similar. we've moved forward
