sometimes a seat is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning pass 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 gross through sharing. download it now for free from electric trucks. to electric ships and old motorcycles. we've got them old. plus we ask why german cars no longer live up to they one stella image now on rev with. c

german cars are unreliable, study show that just getting worse as time goes by. the quality changed, good point is the quality of the german automobile no longer match. it's once wonderful image engineering where loss was remitted from the management plan. so like if you try to reduce the costs of vehicle production and then i think you run the risk of damaging your image at some point. but then it just won't allow german cars have been the in the to me of quality. and that technology for over a 100 years of the adventure of our time equates to perfection. that was then today things look difference. this government in the past, german automobile manufacturers had a number of message problems. ah,

it's mostly so like v w for example, ship when the sand g tank exploded, people nearly died and home. there were children in the back of the v. w to ran and the car hadn't been recalled into this. and that's bad, slim. how long can gem and cars live off the image of excellence that they built up in the past? that is negative. good, that's a good question. how long can you live of this bonus for this little image bonus and image bonus, liam conde's? the time when the german automotive industry could rest on its laurels is long gone . been built this news. i'm aware that there is a claim that we need to prove german engineering skills again. and that will no longer alone in the world. but us work in a highly competitive environment on that develop. oh, american data analysis company,

j. d pallet regularly publishes studies on the quality of automobiles and the germans haven't been in the forefront for a normal time. for the last study found cars from the u. s. in south korea, with the best the best gym and ca, manufacturer is b a. w ranked 9th. mercedes is ranks 19th, porsha 24th hand far behind in the rankings are fog fun and anti respondents in the study included all us residents who had registered a new car in the last year. so this year, for example, in our survey, we receive more than $80000.00 results within the survey. we question the customers on more than 220 different questions. the 1st question we ask is, did you have any problem with that feature? german cars? what we see is that the cars have become increasingly sophisticated and

sophistication is appreciated by the customers. but sometimes it causes issues for the customer defect. st. jam and cars are documented precisely in the usa, even if there were recalls due to issues in quality. in germany matters like this are often swept under the rug. that's why journalist nico gonzalez started the blog, k. f said, recalls da da on it. he publishes data on all the vehicle, problems in the auto industry. the flaw you helped in my main intention was to bring in at least a rudimentary transparency were similar to what exists and the usa was standing there on the websites of the respectable authorities. you find nearly all the details on the subject of recalls. in the usa, you get the feeling that the authorities hold the reins that control and drive the manufacturers type here. you don't have that feeling. but one

of those go through this. it's no wonder that the diesel gate scandal in which german manufacturers manipulated exhaust gas valleys, flew up in the u. s. b o from california and all is now on it all began in california all to both water and the pressure that was built up there very quickly led to the cards being laid out on the table. and wolf's book that set the ball rolling and the walk didn't come on any. and it's hard to imagine such pressure from the german authorities they are still there is still a protective reflex that they have towards their bread and butter industries, with the portal that still the german car industry bought before and go to them and germany and the automobile a legendary bond, after all the car was invented in germany, in $1886.00 car bents laid the foundation for the successful made in germany

products. berlin classic hardy level cod steins, has many mercedes benz models from the seventy's, eighty's and ninety's on in terms of quality. they definitely are ahead of the cause of 2023. the modern costs which are produced now. they will find the end in about 15 or mark seymour maximum 20 years different than these cars. these cars, you can drive for 20 as early as the 1900 thirty's mercedes, helped build the legend of the german automobile on the race track. germany has a dazzling racing heritage from the silver arrows to 7th time formula. one well championed michelle schumacher before his time at the welled classic car association, mary jo tyson was entrenched in the well the formula one as b m w's motor sports director. he knows german cars from all the arrests down to

the very last detail and also knows what lies behind the made in germany miss. 50 years ago. the marketing marketing didn't play a big role in product planning and product decisions. i saw it was indeed the engineers on the r and d side and also on the production side and who steered the products. the product range and product ran it, and suddenly they looked in the 1st place above good engineering quality. tom fisher is one of the best classic congress stories in the world. he knows that german cars were once convincing in terms of quality. the solidity demonstrated by this b and w from 937 was no longer available in german cars from the mid 1990. the congress are getting bigger and all the concurrent brands,

they weren't much more money, le managers. they were in the situation that they, i have to bring more money to the shareholders. the quality changed definitely. and it was the engineering were, was a, was limited from the management. that's my german manufacturer is now have to save on production costs. in 2022, the german automobile club, 80 ac examined 580 calls specifically to analyze quality of work and material. things didn't look great for some models from the b, w group and delena death by northern mother. and you were modeling us that have come on to the market i a last few years i, animals, or even the last one or 2 years. we've seen the tendency is to use inexpensive material effect lydel in kind of what we see the panels on covet and fabric. any longer open bull by that linking link. and this the fact that everything below the

door handles is now made of hard plastic and florida started when a hot plastic german com magazine auto village has also been putting ca, brands through their paces for decades. and they use a wide variety of methods to create a ranking, tens of quality and reliability. in that hard bar for a number of years, the japanese and korean manufacturers rank themselves ahead of the germans and korean isn't here, stella. but that might have something to do with the fact that the german comic has worked and still are older, more innovative like than other manufacturers. vogtle which does include an element of risk since some techniques which haven't been proven yet. and i used to be that, ah, with the vw beetle, there was a simple guarantee as these as car runs and

runs and runs and romans eventually more and more advanced technology was installed in its successes from the motor to the assistance systems to digital operations. interest and of course, our pride in our engineering is still the same as it was then as the skeleton. but it is probably very important that the focus and orientation has shifted dramatically. why over the last one or 2 decades to also include efficiency and other attributes of, of vehicles. glove? absolutely. vehicles have become much more complex and therefore need to be impressive and more area like another or even if the technology and german cars is no longer as reliable as it used to be. modern gem and cars can still win the hearts of customers in an appeal study. the analysts from j. d power asked about the emotional appeal of cars and the germans and right out that german cars are

performing at a high technology level, bringing much customer delight to the, to the market. they're also doing it in a way i described without emotional attachment, image of german cars that we see in our studies remains high. if you look at to which cars are sold and on the road, the german cars may a dominant room. her despite being very highly prized the lung bun funding, we can't say exactly how long you can live off this image. phone isn't this image bonus. how long does that just depends on how long it takes for one's reputation to slowly get back to the company with tom fisher deals with car brands from all over the world and is keenly aware of how closely the image and sales figures of cars and look at it daily and growers are going out

is still assailing every year. more and more course only was emotional. if the italians are losing the motion, then nothing. there is nothing left. and if we germans loses quality, that's the same as that set. so one of those points why people are buying german course and now there's another new challenge, the transition to electron mobility, gem and engineers often like experience in terms of hardware and software in e v. 's. the production of these computers on wheels is often riddled with errors and software problems in new cars. a common place disappointed customers report that even with premium levels, that cost upwards of a $130000.00 euros. the highly developed technology. sometimes it's crazy or new technology unproven. good to be developed in a very short time. the situation, the industry hasn't been n for maybe 50 years or even longer.

ah, electric energy, electric motors and digital services in the car, the roman menu for actors. they work very hard to get those the to take those new competencies on board. and if they can't do this, they will have the better cost because they know how to build a little bit long. if we it will do it right. and we'll, i'll meticulous vehicle testing process hasn't changed. and that's why i wouldn't say that an id 3 today won't last a 1000000 kilometers. times people are t, this is purely speculative. in other words, you, that's the difficult thing about this topic. i would like to make a prediction, but basically we're always looking back at the pass to come to the temptation to adorn oneself with laurels of the past remains. but to day,

the mythic status of the german automobile is at stake. and this is inextricably linked to a successful future for the german car industry. ah ah, ah, these are the unofficial mascots of thailand. but took, took one money i think took, took the something thailand should be proud of. they are unique and represent thailand. me like wonderful highway as iconic as the roaring to strikes my b, they do contribute to air pollution in bangkok. but now about $300.00 new electric took took on the tie capital streets are helping to change that. the entire booking system is now controlled via an am and these ease are made for 6 passengers rather than just 3. our phobias is a, is

a charlene concept. it's me in bad. see, want to get people going to same way. getting the same recalls and go to get is by doing that, people will appear less on this one because there chad at a cause, all of that try will commute is can pay as little as dis, $30.00 euro cents for a ride. the price rises in tandem with distance traveled. and time guy out in i want to use the damage to the environment. so i prefer this took, took whether it's a step to make the word a better place and it's nice to travel without toxic fumes hang. good, ha, ha, move me the on demand, right? sharing service plans to have 1000 electric took, took on the streets by 2024, including in other major cities and thailand. re up. so like $3000000.00 us

passenger triples already and we have satellite head on it on the soft seattle, you mitchum, comparing does equally to 6 acres off forest. it's almost as it took, took, were designed to be electric from the stars. since thou so light, the battery lasts much longer than that in an electric car. but their lack of noise can be a problem on immune and on the corner of the vehicle, the more dangerous it is. i believe it happened that i was behind a pedestrian who simply didn't hear me coming monday, so i have to be very careful with some fuel powered tucks will likely remain as tourist attractions. many took, took drivers agree, but they will soon be outnumbered by electric vehicles. irrespective of the motor though, according to the move me co founder took ducks have become more popular and that has had a positive effect on the whole industry. the mobility change the

a blast experiencing thailand in it took, took, even if it's electric. these containers are being loaded onto a freighter and pours. gra, south of norway's capital osler, destined for the port of bray mc. at 1st glance, thomas fav honest bridge, looks like any other, but it has a few more joysticks and monitors in the bureau. you can see our only drive system put a b, we don't have any diesel or auxilary engines. we rely entirely on batteries. for all the lights as well as propulsion law, generally ships have at least one diesel engine as a back up vol near saw you all of them. but here we've done away with that completely assemble with you. as the ship glides down, the oslo pure, it leaves no trail of black smoke. it's fully electric. in the engine room,

thomas shows us his ships, beating heart banks of batteries. ch with power from a hydro electric plant. a single charge can take the ship about 75 kilometers. that's still a fairly short hon. but electrician bjorn, our floss sort of is already mulling over solutions for the future. this to said for i for longer distances, they'll be a kind of how a bank in the middle of the see a boat, a little over by ships can stop there and fill up with like a gas station with the law. then off to the next charging station or so with a network of charging stations, the range would be unlimited big events. now when it comes to electro mobility, the norwegians don't just talk big. they put ideas into practice, whether on water or land, even as the yara bure kalonde container ship is in its test, phase dozens of car fairies are already plying the fjords on electric power. the

ports are equipped with gigantic outlets for the ships they recharge, while passengers disembark and board norway's ferry users are glad to see the country's electric boom. take to the water. yeah, we lose aldehyde. i like that. this theory is much more mud and, and much quieter. well that each month and it's bigger said can take more guns along the boston electric can carry $200.00 cars and $600.00 passengers, making it the world's largest electric drive. very. but captain eric voskus had to get used to it's handling loop. the stuff to foreshadowing for the biggest difference for us is the silence. i'll still happen as you can tell. no, you can't hear a thing. and others, janelle diesel, ferries react slower to staring commands. the curve is flatow, so an electric ferry reacts much faster months. similar to electric cars,

it's linda will be making shipping more environmentally friendly is just one advantage of the yara beer. calon norwegian engineers are also using it to see whether ships can sail without a crew on board. right now, thomas fe, bong still needs to be on the bridge. but in just 2 years, the ship should run itself with the captain on shore. for lou healthy the ship will make its own decision. this route yield, but men, my job will be to monitor them up and make sure the machine is doing what it's supposed to help them up in the maritime trials should be completed soon. norway will then have the world's burst all electric and self pilot in container ship. this motorcycle is 104 years old with hard work and axle grease, you're going to lose keeps it running even though hardly any parts are available, any mole. historical bikes, other foreman, chem and business owners,

great passion. he has the most fun when he can ride without a home it the way kathy, by his ones, he stayed. because y'all, why it's this boundless freedom that you seem to feel it's beautiful to take time and enjoy nature with the log, especially on such an old motorcycle with yet, and also enjoys taking his seat on the side car and allowing his mechanic to get behind the handle of the feeling that comes over you is that of pure excitement. what the very 1st time i have a road such a vintage bike with a side car was the spark that made me say ok, i'm going to buy an old bike like this. and then gradually, it grew into the collector's mania and thought in 3 holes totaling of a 2000 square meters in orbit and central germany. you're going to keeps more than $200.00 motorcycles from several areas. with no shortage of dedication,

he makes sure that each and every one of them stays roadworthy. his collection valued at no less than 7 figures is one of a kind. if i know it's an addiction that doesn't afflict your health as much as your wallet or oh, but yes, it's an addiction and it's a passion i. so and part of the joy of collecting that is that not everything always works right away. but then your joy is all the greater when it eventually all comes together nicely. on folks in this 1912 harley davidson is one of his favorite bikes. it once belong to american movie star, steve mcqueen. steve mcqueen, apparently and steve mcqueen had a fascination of for the color red with young and painted the entire motorcycle red with that line of white and loving attention to detail. we carefully removed the paint and brought out the original petima to nod potty. not on the end of this

august. unfortunately, upon this 993 indian is likely the only one still in existence in europe. next to it stands. another rarity, the oldest motorcycle ever made by b m w. this isn't here. this here as the origin of b. m. w motorcycles will the are 32 that b m w built in 1923. the pride of his connection can be found in the whole side, con motorcycles. many of the bikes on display here have long been out of production . at one time cycles, we used for every conceivable purpose, even transporting prisoners with the army. so my ambition is to try and bring forgotten vehicle, get back into the spotlight, focus so yet. and also rolls out his rare side col, machines at races and festivals. he organizes himself, some are good century old or more and he even has plans to re establish side cause

inmate to sports your guns. latest treasure is a unique set of wheels built by german race. again tamisha in the 1980s. i mama's mccall. i have to like the motorcycle of ursula teeth. this one here is technically incredibly innovative. san amanda. in the end, this combination of factors and all that gives it an emotional value eyes. you can discuss the price, but not with me. hope or doesn't. i hope that i never come when i'm forced to sell anything that would be really painful. every new addition to his collection is given a thorough check up and then put through its paces is under the guise though, it's the kind of excitement and joy a child feels when a new toy arrives or you know what's coming and you can hardly wait until it's there is that counseling i can hardly wait to started up to hear it rattling away and inhaled the fumes. that's the smell of a vintage motorbike. ah,

well, most of his classic bikes you're gonna include a, has a license limited to test rides. and as long as he can afford it, he'll carry on collecting and writing vintage and classic bikes that might otherwise gather dust in the museum with on that note. happy mentoring. and see you next time on ref. ah ah, with ah
