9:30 am
sons, your mom is not coming back over february 2020 russian troops and they did the ukrainian city of computer. it was recaptured. 6 months later the occupation was hard. how can life go on after all the terror? not everyone can do where the fear we felt every day. when russia comes, start to august 25th on dw, the, the best selling vehicle in the united states gets electrified, used cooking oil powers, a camper, van julie, and britain's iconic maurice j type gets a battery powered. make. all this and more. now on the
9:31 am
electric, a pickup with one is considered an oxymoron anymore. the ford f 150 is the most selling car in the us and it's finally coming to europe. but this one has a little of that to at the ford f 150 lightning. so if you want to electric costs, that's ticket alex, welcome to the f 150 has being the best selling vehicle in the us for 41 years on the truck. does the electric bush and have what it takes to replicate its big brothers success. this car can also give its energy to follow a little household for up to 3 days. that's crazy and nice feature i like it. speaking of policy tricks, if you want to have a jam marie in the middle of nowhere, the f 150 provides the energy you'll need for. it's on the truck bed has enough space to speak to as many refrigerator's non neat features alone does make for the
9:32 am
best sending vehicles. so what's it like this this call can do anything a regular f 150 can do as well. ford said that goal is 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 off the f 150 with combustion engine. the f 150 can so 885 to this is the fact that the f 150 lightning comes with 2 different battery sizes. the smaller one is 98 kilowatt hours and the big along has a whopping 130 kilowatt hours. upgrading to the big battery. we'll clean out your one. it's the smaller one, gives you around 370 kilometers of range and the bigger ones around $510.00. if you
9:33 am
can actually get close to these ranges, that would be really good for the car of that size. and that way the, the interior of the ford f 150 lightning at 1st glance. it is for all the clean. and you also get some vibes of a war, a cars because basically this car is a work horse, but it looks good. anyway, especially that's huge touch screen here in the middle. a nice to look at, easy to operate. and the only thing i don't like you said you have to adjust the temperature file and touch screen as well. but we've talked about it that often the cause have the same problem. apart from that, what you instantly see is there is so much space in here and it's 3 and the car is huge from the outside. so there is also an auto space in the interior. and what's even more interesting, this car has uh from because it doesn't need the engine on the hood,
9:34 am
then there will be more space and even more secrets. i will show you right now. of course, no ma'am, how i needed to open the phone. it's this huge heavy on the capacity on the electric hold right here. and you have even more than that, right below you have space for cables. for example, right here, you will find the power all let's. those are american versions right now, but when it comes to germany, of course, kate will have regular household sockets because you can use this, for example, to power an electric drill or a vacuum cleaner. as a gemini cause it's typically 4.6 meters. now i'm talking about so to find me too long for me to let the f one the entry level version of the f. $150.00 lightning comes in at a whopping $300.00. 32 kito. lots of power and you'll be of that once you press the
9:35 am
excel. busy to it shoots ball was and that despite the fact that this vehicle is like around 3 tons heavy, it feels really nice. nimble. this finds itself a bit of korea you sitting around the high in this vehicle higher than most of the other participants in the traffic. you can look down on them some what 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. small, high ground decides, keep in mind that if you load up the flatbed completely, f 150 lightnings range will drop the f 150 in one huge car. and i mean, that's good for the us. spot in germany and in europe. 80 is
9:36 am
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 load purely electric. what else could you want from such a car? wow. force have to close for you. the f 150 night things back in december 2022 because old 200000 units, they tend to making sounds biased. people, things like that. it says most of time of what cost with a high low capacity on food electric bucks with a maximum charging speed of a $150.00 kilowatt says wait for improve the from the prior into the fuel tank is used cooking oil. the environmentally friendly solution for old combustion engines. i always say there are more restaurants than fuel
9:37 am
station to land rodolfo rod. it certainly is convinced that this technology and already uses it's a power his camper van visa converts i feel i'm doing the right thing. i'm protecting the rivers and protecting the environment in his mission with the camper . to educate people about recycling is gold, a bree cross border transport solution. we're in a key of frontier 4 by 4 from 2004 with a 2.9 liter diesel engine and it runs flawlessly. and seats 6 people big are living together. we've been converted into a camper. you see montgomery, what makes this camper special? pit runs on recycled cooking oil. basically who do this vehicle is called the camper? who can fit the edge you camp or has to fuel used cooking oil and diesel tv and it has 2 fuel lines. is the good news, but also use this
9:38 am
a small onboard 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 this system only works is 100 percent vegetable oil. and what's essential is that it's heated remote 1st now use diesel until the water from the radiator one's up. and once the water is hot, that heat's the oil within the oil tank was a coil system or a water heater system. it's been thrown. thank you that by heating the vegetable oil in a separate tank. the alternative fuel requires 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 mission systems. it's very robust,
9:39 am
not the even though it's not an oil vehicles can be converted to run on oil just to see many can be one that there are some specific motors that are believe to not support oil as a fuel some way not, but i saved them perfect, so you definitely have to do a little research before adapting a vehicle, a bit of an indian, but if there are specific simple motors that also always work in the same way with you and. and then i mean my mind at the onboard computer helps rodolfo switch from diesel to oil very easily. even while driving police opens the solenoid valves that allows oil to enter the engine. and when i press it again, it closes the oil solenoid valve and opens the diesel solenoid valve. then the one of the biggest advantages with this system is that you can refuel wherever you want. ed,
9:40 am
it's free of charge. all you need is used cooking oil from the kitchen and filter so this must be, remember to bring me some more attention. i paid to the oil my, the longer my engine will perform. i have to filter the oil. it's been decanted for a long time. the impurities will have settled at the bottom. it will go, as i said, good, but if this is oil i collected a short while ago. you might have particles of french fries. okay. but not as a chicken or anything that has been cooked in it too much within the system with a my oil fuel line. there's another filter that again, filters, minor particles in your web. so here at this point, i really try to capture all the bigger particles from pass over it. after the 1st feel tracing process, but also looking for the oil straight into is 10, which is located at the back of the camper. its capacity is $100.00 leaders which lets the vehicle travel around 800 kilometers for the going to be. but if i'm going
9:41 am
to cover long distances, i can carry several drums and fuel to the oil anywhere from 14 to say i use 100 percent oil. 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 don't need method all. i don't need to do any chemical process has to have a fuel. i get to a restaurant and i can filter it outside the restaurants and use it for that use outlook. 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 to get into the thoughts of the if i heated up to a high temperature, it will liquefy a federal reserve, but it needs to be very hot. the music they might say to my system, which stands here to 40 degrees celsius. more in and in my vehicle need an
9:42 am
oil that dentist would be bought can't be used to then. so 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 seat oil, pencil 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 to a and a b, w. golf using cooking oil. the leaders that i had in 1987 vw golf, a 1.6 liter diesel, named laura visa and one of them that also ran on oil. yes. is that expedition from canada to chilly last week? 22 months or so? is it ethics? place you on that kind of, we covered 17 countries and we had 11 total who boarded and disembarked at various
9:43 am
points. it wasn't like an uber or suv yet, or is there a $101.00 over at that time for adult to have the idea of using the car to educate people that securing funding for the trip. he visited schools, displayed the car, and explained the concepts of recycling. give hello, what was incredible, was meeting very remote indigenous communities throughout latin america and in between us and to our maybe can reaching all the capital city that start like gabriella and collaborating with everyone with the messages of caring for the environmental tone. we. i'm being that we helped highlight the importance of rivers, you know, use in the struggle to take care of and defend the rivers and the need to educate people about environmental issues related to rivers. eh, b, e, a. u, i didn't know. gotcha. and but also the current camper isn't just for his own use. the also drives at the schools in the south of the country and provides
9:44 am
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 month to see to cause units harder to co pay, then 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 have a layout. what can the and say, i say that the original engine was not disturb during the modification. there were merely a few parts added. it does a mother thing and see. the radiator has an extended water circuits in quiet which we take to the external tank at the back, extending the now we have the main engine idea tiers. the injection part you said says here you can see the injectors and you've been able here we have the water after it's run through the cooling system. it cools the engine model and look at
9:45 am
the one of the. busy busy before it gets to the radiator, we take it out a most ago. i work at the end and send it through this hot waterloo that was extended to the external oil tank at the back. i was, i didn't ask you at that as you thank you. the hot water from the engine compartment comes here to the back of the oil tank had is drained off for 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 imbedded 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 chillen shrugs of concerns that lines filter as an injection pumps could break the moot again, these are a lot of people say all the injectors are going to fail to visit and if you them all diesel cars need the same maintenance you then you had
9:46 am
a diesel car without oil, cnn said you still have to make changes. this kind of you, you still have to do maintenance on injection thoughts have on by. and so with oil it's the same. you mean in the more you take care to filter and you can't the oil the longer you can maintain it and guide someone send it to you. but also can recommend this type of converted drive train to many people, especially travelers and long distance drivers. but he also thinks the mods make sense for school buses and garbage trucks. in addition to the technical upgrade for adults, okay, the camper, a new color photos of the page, 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. paper that they've been,
9:47 am
i'm helping to let other people know that they can also do so. and they can do it by recycling oil and converting all old diesel engines to vegetable 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 the filter in the oil, as well as the slower drive it is likely to determine 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. the when the your view. when i say i want transport from patagonia to alaska, it'd be intercontinental public transport. i'm thinking there would be some vehicles. yeah. yeah. for vehicles of equally always criss crossing, the american lady got see and the aim is to spread. the idea that began here at the
9:48 am

9:50 am
postwar breaking the j to it became with a vw bus was for west germany. morris built 60000 units between 19491960. and now it's made in all electric come back. we've had the concept of 19 a very like white electric van that was designed to be electric from the start. and we actually had access to a couple of the original j times the project was initiated by qu, lee, 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 lead teamed up with former bentley, executive john kinley to found a start up their mission to continue making bands that stood out from the crowd and the new millennium to as a with me in the 5 what and i believe we should to bring some clamber into the vine . why every 5 have to be. why to in the book. say the why can not be you know,

9:52 am
which was the lead to 1948. we have this fantastic grill, which is unique to that. and this is the face of was commercialized that we have taken that quite faithfully on to the new style. and the new motors, j e, very much carries over the smiling face and the personality that 1st came out in 1948. and all the things that made the old model so practical and so appreciated can be found in its success. so to the another key feature of the 1948 vehicle which was in its day was called the big little bottom. it had a great capacity. it has these co roofline, so low at the front with a big curve. and we've covered that very much into the j e, which also has a high sent to the roof gifts at great risk capacity. having the cabin in front of the front axle and the engine between the drivers and passenger seat's was

a revolution in utility vehicle design. the chest that you provided the base for a wide range of bodies 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 the ways that enables the vehicle to be used as a mini bus can prevent or pick up the 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 this day for innovation, so is the j e. now, these days, efficiency is the priority in e car design and as efficiently begins with the weight factor. the entire chassis, including the base plate for the batteries, was fashioned by hand from aluminum. while the date is body is a carbon fiber construction. the key
9:54 am
feature of the to use the fully re saki kelvin, find the body, which of course have 3 different painted. but we can the, some of the common on the inside of the cargo area here. and the main benefit is we have only a 140 kilogram weight of the body. and that does a great deal to offset the winds with the battery. i'm give sauce i sweep of range and 2 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. so 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 if i access to the charge port display here. this and we
9:55 am
incorporate a vehicle to grid electrical charging system and 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 most likely? well, i would have to cite the new is let's just say that sitting at the wheel of an old jane tod, do something else. i do need to experience driving just limited to the 20 twenty's, even though the retro style is so similar. we've moved forward 60 years also
