well to each other. and what makes asia ships, why? he lets me the me and i, let's see here with the 77 percent in 60 minutes on d. w. a rearing to read. ah, everyone who loves books has to go insane with d. w. literature list, 100 german must reads from electric tip 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 still an image. now on rev, with

german cars are unreliable. study show that just getting worse as time goes by, the quality changed differently. why does the quality of the gym and automobile no longer match? it's once wonderful image engineering where was was remitted from the management plan to learn. if you try to reduce the cost of the vehicle production, then i think you run the risk of damaging your image at some point. but then i just want to allow german cars have been to me of quality and technology for over a 100 years of the adventure of our time, equate to perfection. that was then today things look, difference is government in the pa,

german automobile manufacturers had a number of message problems. im ah, it's mostly for like a v w for example, when the sand g tags exploded, people nearly died. 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 shim. how long can german cars live off the image of excellence that they built up in the past? that is negative ga. gov. that's a good question. how long can you live of this bonus? this little image bonus and image bonus leaving con the time when the german automotive industry could rest on its laurels is long gone. to milton use, 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. i'm up that develop our 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 number time. for the last study found cars from the u. s. and south korea with the best the best gym and ca, manufacturer is b a. w max 9th. mercedes is ranks 19th. porsha 24th hand far behind in the rankings are fog fun and audi. 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 i q s survey, we received 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 the sophistication is appreciated by the customers. but sometimes it causes issues for the customer defect, st jamming cause a document is 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, don't da on it. he publishes data on all the vehicle problems in the auto industry before you hoped in my main intention was to bring in at least a rudimentary transparency similar to what exists and the usa. so 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. but here you don't have that feeling. what was

up on the screw, it's no wonder that the diesel gate scandal in which german manufacturer is manipulated, exhaust gas valleys, flew up in the u. s. in oakland, california and all is now on it. all began in california evolve to vote water and the pressure that was built up there very quickly led to the cards being laid out on the table. and wolves book that said the ball rolling to 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. through the portal got on that still the german car industry, not before and logical, and germany and the automobile. a legendary bond. after all the car was invented in germany. in 1886 car bents laid the foundation for the successful made in germany

products. berlin classic hardy level cut steins, has many mercedes benz models from the seventy's, eighty's and ninety's on offer. in terms of quality they definitely are ahead of the cause of 2023. the modern cars which are produced now. they will find the end in about 15 or maximum maximum 20 years different than these cars. these cars, you can drive for 20 as early as the 1900 thirty's mercedes, helped to build the legend of the german automobile on the race track. germany has a dazzling racing heritage from the silver arrows to 7 time formula. one well championed michelle schumacher before his time at the world 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 calls from all the arrests down to

the very last detail and also knows what lies behind the maiden gemini, miss. 50 years ago, the marketing marketing didn't play a big role in product branding 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. ready the product range and product planning, 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 run 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 was, i 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 were the and you were modeling us that have come on to the market. i last few years i on hall's, or even the last one or 2 years. we've seen the tendency is to use inexpensive material effect night on constantly, but we see the panels on covered and fabric. any longer open bull by that went lick

. and this the fact that everything below the door handles is now made of hard plastic and farthest either when a hard plastic german car magazine autopay it 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 that had by 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. what 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 runs eventually more and more advanced technology was installed in its successes from the motor to the assistant systems to digital operations is interesting, 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 by over the last one or 2 decades to also include efficiency and other attributes of, of vehicles, love, oscillating. vehicles have become much more complex and therefore need to be impressive and more area items until even if the technology and gemini cars is no longer as reliable as it used to be, modern german 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 black 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 describe about emotional attachment, image of german cars that we see in our studies remains high. if you look at her, which cars are sold and on the roads, the german cars may a dominant room. her despite being very highly prized the lung month on these and 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 cause and

look at italian growers who cannot, is still assailing every year more and more course only was emotional. if the italians are losing the motion and nothing, there is nothing left. and if we germans looser quality, that's the same as that said. one of those points why people are buying german course and now there's another new challenge, the transition to electron mobility. german 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 commonplace 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 and flaw maybe 50 years or even longer. ah, electric energy, electric motors and digital services in the car, the german 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 lend is 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. the whole time to people are teeth. 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 past. took on her 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 . these are the unofficial mascots of thailand. the took took one money i think took, took as something tylen should be proud of their unique and represent thailand me of my wonderful highway as iconic as the roaring t strikes my b. they do contribute to air pollution in bangkok. but now about $300.00 new electric took, took some the tie capital streets are helping to change that. the entire booking system is now controlled by a,

an ad. and these ease are made for 6 passengers rather than just 3. our phobias is a, is a charlene concept. it's me in bat. see, want to get people going the same way. getting the same recalls and go to get is by doing that. people will pay less on this $1.00 because they're chad at a loss. all of that try will commute is can pay as little as $30.00 euro cents for a ride. the price rises in tandem with distance traveled. and time guy out here, 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 haggard. ha, ha, move me the on demand, right. sharing service plans to have $1000.00 electric took took on the streets by 2024, including in other major cities and thailand. rehab,

so like $3000000.00 us passenger triples already and we have satellite $800.00 pounds soft c o 2 emission comparing does equally to 6 acres off for us 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 the pedestrian, who simply didn't hear me coming monday. so i have to be very careful with some fuel powered tux 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 more. but if you change the light before it at that thing, like if you will sit in the sun, something is not air condition is very hot and ac on his on his left to lease. but after cool with something fresh air this day. if i see this as flaw hill d, if you're a tourist visiting bank of palaces and temples and one to do so and, and took, took the move me up is also available in english, which has its advantages. you don't have to deal with like, ah, but i language barriers in the same time. if you tell you directly into the app that how much you have to pay and everything is pay his catalyst, bass, hassle free. it certainly beats the alternative of haggling. but don't forget, you are allowed to tip the driver of your move me to tuck where the day or night 3

busy streets or to your favorite st food stool. you'll have a blast experiencing thailand in a tactic, even if it's electric. these containers are being loaded onto a freighter and pours, gra, south of norway's capital oswell, destined for the port of bravery. at 1st glance, thomas fav onto bridge. looks like any other, but it has a few more joysticks and monitors in the subject. you can see our only drive a system to put a b. we don't have any diesel or auxilary engines could 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 volume here saw you all of them. but here we've done away with that completely usable 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, toma shows us his ships, beating heart banks of batteries, charged 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 are flaw, sorta is already multi over solutions for the future. this to said for a year, for longer distances, they'll be a kind of power bank in the middle of the see i don't live in pover by ships can stop there and chalabi like at a gas station with in law, then off to the next charging station or so with a network of charging stations, the range would be unlimited, big and smoother. 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 barre, users are glad to see the country's electric boom. take to the water. yeah, we lose out and i like that this theory is much more modern and much quieter. although i'm, it's bigger so it can take more guns and the boston electric can carry 200 cars and 600 passengers, making it the world's largest electric drive. very. but captain eric voskus had to get used to it's handling the stuff to foreshadow the biggest difference for us is the silence. i oh, still happen as you can tell, no, you can't hear a thing. and so the chanel diesel, ferries react slower to staring commands. the curve is flatter missile gaudy,

somebody, an electric ferry reacts much faster. similar to electric cars, it's linda will be making shipping more environmentally friendly is just one advantage of the yard beer. calon norwegian engineers are also using it to see whether ships can sail without a crew on board. right now, thomas fable still needs to be on the bridge, but in just 2 years, all the ships run itself with the captain on shore. 4 little hill this ship will make its own decision. this route your but me and my job will be to monitor them up and make sure the machine is doing what it's supposed to open up in the maritime trials should be completed soon. norway will then have the world's 1st all electric and self pilot in container ship. this motorcycle is 104 years old. with hard work and axle grease. you're going to luda keeps it running. even though hardly any parts are available. any more.

historical bikes of the former german business own is great passion. he has the most fun when he can ride without a helmet, the way carefully by his once use teeth. because if i, it's this boundless freedom that you seem to feel it's beautiful to take time and enjoy nature. bother with the log, especially on such an old motorcycle with yet. and also enjoys taking a seat on the side car and allowing his mechanic to get behind the handle of the view of the feeling that comes over you is that of pure excitement or 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 one. and then gradually it grew into the collector's mania. and in 3 holes totaling of a 2000 square meters in orbit and central germany yoga and 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. it is, i know it's an addiction that doesn't afflict your health as much as your wallet. her 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 da, steve mcqueen hope steve mcqueen. apparently steve mcqueen had a fascination for the color rid with film and painted the entire motorcycle riddle, the atlanta wide and loving attention to detail. we carefully removed the paint and

brought out the original patio. not potty, not on the end of this august. unfortunately. pot 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 is the origin of b, m. w. motorcycles. of the are 32 that b m w built in 1923. the pride of his connection can be found in the whole 4 side call motorcycles. many of the bikes on display here have long been out of production. at one time cycles were used for every conceivable purpose, even transporting prisoners with the i'm, it's for my ambition is to try and bring forgotten vehicle, get back into the spotlight hawk of so yet, and also rolls out his re aside, ca, machines at races and festivals. that he organizes himself. some are

a good century old or more and he even has plans to re establish side cause in motor sports. your guns latest treasure is a unique set of wheels built by german raised again to measure in the 1980s. i mom was mcfall, i have to like the motorcycle of ursula teeth. this one i is technically incredibly innovative. san amended has taught 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 concert 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 going to buddha has a license limited to test drive. and as long as he can afford it, he'll carry on collecting and riding vintage and classic bikes that might otherwise gather dust and museum with on that note. happy mentoring. and see you next time on ref. ah ah with

ah, with who hello and welcome to the 77 percent. in addition, we're going to talk about love relationship. and of course great. we also wanted to find out what i person before we tell them. and what makes
