mannion 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 with edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting . a dock you series about our complex relationship with animals. the great debate this week on d. w. from electric tip trucks. to electric ships and old motorcycles, we've got them all. plus we ask why german cars no longer live up to they one steady 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 gym and automobile no longer match. it's once wonderful image engineering was, was remitted from the management plan. and so like i said, 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 it just won't allow german cars have been the in the, 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 different. this government in the past german automobile. many has had

a number of massive problems im ah, it's mostly for like a v w for example ship 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. slim. how long can gem and 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 leave him come. the time when the german automotive industry could rest on its laurels is long gone. been built it. i'm aware that there is a claim that we need to prove german engineering skills again, and that would 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. and south korea with the best the best gym and ca, manufacturer is b a. w max 9th. mercedes is ranks 19th. portia 24th and 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 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 com, increasingly sophisticated,

and the 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 gunther 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 so so standing there on the websites of the respective 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 well,

so i'll just go through this. it's no wonder that the diesel gate scandal in which german manufacturer is manipulated, exhaust gas values, flew up in the u. s. b o from california and all is now on it. all began in california evolve to both 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 set the ball rolling to walk didn't come on the thing. 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 in georgia 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 cod 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 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 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 wells classic conversation 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 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 product, the product range and product granite. and suddenly they looked in the 1st place, both good engineer and 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 m. 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 or was it 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 v. w group and delena death by northern mother and you were modeling that sort of come on to the market i last few years i analyst or even the last one of 2 years. we've seen the tendency is to use inexpensive material effect lydel in kind stuff. we but we see the panels on covet in fabric any longer. okay?

bull bite wings 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 ca, 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 hot bar for a number of years, the japanese and korean manufacturers rank themselves head of the german, cynically honest. and his tele, oh, but that might have something to do with the fact that the german comic his work and still are older, more innovative 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, that was as simple guarantee as these as car runs and

runs and runs and rollins eventually more and more advanced technology was installed in its successes from the motor to the assistance systems to digital operations. the engineers s was in, of course, our pride in our engineering is still the same as it was then that's 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 about vehicles. glove absolutely. vehicles have become much more complex and therefore need to be impressive in more area items until even if the technology and german 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 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 her, which cars are sold and on the roads, the german cars may a dominant room. her despite being very highly prized the long run funding, we can't say exactly how long you can live off this image on the think on 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 are going out is still sailing 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 loses quality, that's the same as other sets of one of those points. why people are buying germany 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 on proven 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 bellman menu for actors. they work very hard to get those the, to take those new competencies on board. and if they can do this, they will have the better cost because they know how to build a car than this one. 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. that has 100 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 pass took on her the temptation to

adorn one's self 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 gym and 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. they are unique and represent thailand me of my wonderful highway as iconic as the roaring 2 strokes may be, 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 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 to same way. getting the same recalls and go to get is by doing that. people will appear less on this one because they're chad are the cause . all of the try will commute is can pay as little as does $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, 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. re up so like 3000000 us passenger

triples already and we have satellite internet ponds. 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 a pedestrian who simply didn't hear me coming in. 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 mobility changed the light before that. that thing like, if you will sit in some, something is not a condition, it's very hot. and ac on his, on his left to leave. but after cool with something fresh air with their fussy recess more hildy. if you're a tourist visiting bancwest 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, my 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, that's 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 osler, destined for the port of bray vick, at 1st glance, thomas fav onto bridge looks like any other, but it has a few more joysticks and monitors the in the subject, 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 the water. but here we've done away with that completely usable with 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 say for i for longer distances, they'll be a kind of how a bank in the middle of the see a boat living 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 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 yarn, a beer 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. already to look and it's bigger said can take more guns. i the boston electric can carry 200 cars and 600 passengers, making it the world's largest electric drive. very at 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 happening as you can tell. no, you can't hear a thing, and publish anal 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, it'll be making shipping more environmentally friendly is just one advantage of the yara burke. alon 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 war lou healthy the 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 help them up in the maritime trial 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 lose that keeps it running. even though hardly any parts are available. any mole.

historical bikes, other fulman 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 with. it's this boundless freedom that you seem to feel it's beautiful to take time and enjoy nature with a lot, 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 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 one. and then gradually, it grew into the collector's mania. and in 3 months, totaling of a 2000 square meters in orbit and central germany, morgan 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 is through. 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. big one folks in the 1912 harley davidson is one of his favorite bikes. it once belong to american movies da, steve mcqueen. steve mcqueen, apparently and steve mcqueen had a fascination of for the color red with young people 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 potato, nod potty,

not on into 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 hole for side con motorcycles. many of the bikes on display here have long been out of production at one time side cause we used for every conceivable purpose, even transporting prisoners with the um, it's for 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 invite to sports. your guns latest treasure is a unique set of wheels built by german race. again tamisha in the 1980s. i, mom was mccall. i have to like the motorcycle of ursula teeth. this one here is technically incredibly innovative. ended up 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 there is that conflict, i can hardly wait to started up to hear it rattling away and inhaled the fumes.

that's the smell of a vintage motorbike. for most of his classic bikes, juergen gruder has a license limited to test drives. and as long as he can afford it, he'll carry on connecting and riding 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 ah, ah ah, ah.
