We are living during the most extraordinary time in history of transport. Well go pull the electric with red. The auto and mobility show lou nostalgic revivals is the new folks bog and id buzz, all fitting green successor to the iconic t one bus. Ah, quite a few details about the new id bus that reminds you of the old b w t one from the sixtys, nostalgic attributes meet students, benz and beatle fans who love their german car. Im a car mechanic. Oh, my love for pain saw when i was get out a love classic one style degree burn, electrified moto taxis in kigali and electrified luxury classics in the u. K. Ah, we further the legacies of these most beautiful people, both automotive nostalgia in all shapes and forms this week on red. Its finally there been u. V. W id buzz eagerly awaited by a lot of people. But before we dive into details, id say check out the design of the car and with that, welcome to the ref. Check with. As you can tell, there are quite a few details about the new id bus that remind you of the old b, w t. One from the 60s, for example, their window right here. I mean of course with a t one with the old one, you could open that thats not possible here, but thats minor details. And right there, those slits, the all t one had them down. Therefore, the engine and at the front you have the white color and a big b w logo, just like the old one headed. Unfortunately, i cannot yet drive the id bus, but i can at least take a seed ride here and check out the interior. And i have to say it looks really good. I especially the Steering Wheel is very nicely designed. It has some touch buttons right here, which is not exactly what i would wish for. But its okay. Another thing i dont really like east, there are no physical buttons right here. So if you want to change something for the climate, you need to do that via the touch screen right here. I prefer some physical buttons, but that is a problem that a lot of cars have nowadays. Theres no death of Storage Space and the new id, vazo kept bottle snacks. Absolutely. Everything can be convenient. He stowed away plan. It has said in the usb socket, which means its not going to be any pickering ever who can charge their smartphone. I remember when b w show the id bars concept back in 2017. There was a lot of applause. People really liked it, of course, partly due to the fact that it reminded them of that old t one and people had stories or adventures they lived through in that t one. So id say, lets take a look at the history of the bus. First is to 1950 the v w transpose. It became an instant classic. It was her name for time to, to indicate it was the 2nd modem and effected by the w after the type one beetle. But later it was confusingly, given the t one model number convoluted nomenclature aside, the vans popularity grew in the 1960s with the rise of hippy culture. Seen the t one or mike habash came to be associated with the lifestyle of freedom and adventure. Unfunded to go if you youre an annoying consequences. I forbid we can submit this out. Yeah, thank you. By the so thats the van. The id, buzz, its existence to general as you would expect it from a v w bus. There is a lot of space, a lot of head room, a lot of like room. Everythings fears very wide. So its very nice in here in the rear as well. Very much space. A huge head room, a lot of leg room. Nothing to complain about the seats are quite comfortable though i have to admit that they are a little harder than i would have expected. Whats pretty cool about the interior is it, there is no leather in here and they used a lot of recycled material. As you can tell, their id boss has a lot of space just as you would expect it from a van, even with the passenger version. And that despite the fact that you have the 77 kilowatt hour battery taking up space in their car, of course you need it for the electric motor. They have energy to put it to the rear axle just as with the original t one. The new id, bad conceit, 5 passengers, and 5th, 1100. 21 vases of luggage in 2023. The w plans to add a longer version with even more space when it comes on to the market. The v. W id boss will 1st have a 150. 00 kilowatt engine powering the rear. Later, there will be a small, a battery for entry level prices, and a bigger version with 2 engines, one at the front, one at the rear, and somewhere around 300. 00 kilowatts of foul. With 170. 00 kilowatts charging power, it charges to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. The id boss is, of course, also available in a cargo version. And as the name suggests, it is for people that need to move a lot of stuff. And that might be in private or with your business. The vision can fit you entire europe pallets and its freight compartment and is available with different doors styles, and either 2 or 3 seats up front. My impression on the new v w id, but it is a very cool car with a unique design and it will definitely find a lot of friends. It already has is found a lot of friends, even though its not yet on the market. It will come in fall 2022, and before that we will get to test driving to some of the other bus isnt too far off the concept. B, w debuted 5 years ago. Its spacious, customizable, and looks cool. But on the downside is the endless options controlled by only the touch screen. Prices are likely to start around 55000 euros in germany than life is back in the middle of the sudanese capital cartoon. Its german cars, as far as the i can see, in fact, they call this road. Mercedes street did several workshops in a row and warehouses full of spare parts to fix up an old bit party mohammed has been repairing old. Bens is for 50 years. He was 10 when his cousin, 1st hand him a wrench and his passion for the cars has only grown since then. Theres also a lot. I love challenges law. Thats why i chose mercedes. Not everyone can fix them. Its quite difficult to give them a sob. This car was built in 1976. Nobody knows how many kilometers its done. 40 estimates over a 1000000, and there will be many more as soon as he repairs the broken diesel pump. A common problem here, due to the poor quality of imported diesel. Itll cost around 225. 00 euros, but then this car will be on the move again. There isnt just a mercedes street in sudan. Theres also a Mercedes Benz sudan club was founded in 2016 and now has more than 7000 members who meet regularly in cartoon according to miss any visit. I love to close my business because its actually a life i graduation. I joined the citizens through germany. Tell them im a cop mechanic and my love for pain saw when i was kid. Our love classic one. I got to now, this is lisa site, the new community. And i learned a lot about from those new friends of mine because of this one. He kind of se sedans, car enthusiasts are restricting their affections to a single mark. The belief that german cars stand for quality runs deep ear case in point the vw beetle fans taking part in this car meet all convinced of how robust their little bugs are among them, piece font him acidic. Read what i like most about the beach. A list, the good quality that they lost forever and i easy to maintain. I do most of that myself and ever since i got my own beatle, i fallen even more in love with these cars. I had that they also just looked so beautiful inside and out of the band. I blocked this car. But it wasnt the 140 my works in a pharmacy by day, but after work she devotes all her time to her beadle cheerfully motoring along and lovingly restoring it herself. City father also drives a beetle. In fact, her whole family loves the car. But of course, a passion for classic cars is not without its problems in the traffic. And cartoon is really bad. And for the beatles, theres another problem because theres no radiation mach edited. So the engine of the heats all the time back on mercedes street in Marty Mohammed has his own worries. Ah. The biggest problem for us here on the market is that there are hardly any good quality, spare parts or spare parts that are imported these days are of poor quality. This is a real problem. But above all else fought, he sees himself as a problem solving hes already been able to revive his own car in 1984 Mercedes Benz w 123 several times. Mercedes street, they say here is the only cemetery in the city where the dead are brought back to life. This is a big moment for eric to you see me today. The motorcycle taxi driver in kigali is feeling his 125 cc honda for the last time soon hes going to swap his Combustion Engine for an electric motor. What the quote is operating a transport business using an old motorcycle like mine is really difficult garage and i when i done it breaks down a lot longer. So at times i have more expenses in profit longer. Thats why im converting it into an electric motorcycle. Is it wrapped up with m a for operating costs . Arent his only concern . Do you see me has been driving a motor taxi for 7 years . Hes aware of the pollution created by his gas powered motorcycle. So he was glad to take advantage of the project initiated by the wonder Environment Management authority incorporation with the you and development program. It asked to retrofit gas powered vehicles with electric motor all of this is done on this workshop in kigali t, as she may received a loan from his taxi cooperative to cover the car around 680 years. Thats 3 months salary and lots of money for a small businessman. But hes been assured its worth the investment. Youre drawn in, oil are mortal, are of his free. And you dont in service the term with no use churns or those costs. They are kept above the rider. So to them its so its a benefit. Plans for the time being maintenance is free of charge. So far around 100. 00 motor taxes have been retrofitted and demand is growing. Im receiving big number of or does for not only for new electric bikes, but also did a tro fitting of the old bakes. So this is a positive response of the market. A one runs and market and even the other country neighboring countries are calling me or asking me about the product. After a few hours, the transformation is complete to you, she may, as motorcycle now runs on 2 batteries, each provides power to cover about 50 kilometers. Once theyre empty, they can be swap for charged batteries at a collection point. The empty ones are picked up by a truck also, e pallet, of course, and then charged at a central location. One charge cost about 0. 76. After about 30000 kilometers the retrofit started to pay off because the savings on gasoline become tangible about 50 percent of licensed motorcycles, the new wonder, a motor taxis by 2026. The countries Environment Authority wants to see at least half converted to electric drive. On motor bikes were to convert from fossil fuel to electric poets, mental banks, who would be able to serve around 9000000000. 00 pay. Yeah, and this is almost 45 percent of that total amount of fossil fuels that would be saving, doesnt country it certainly made a difference to dr. Is like eric, please see me whenever i can not in the past when i rode my gasoline motorcycle, anybody, everyone would knock on me and shake their heads because of all the smoke pouring out. Like he says, up customers would even refuse to let me drive them. Can you put it on thats no longer an issue going on a topic on would you have you got another richer fitting shuttle open soon in the city of keys. And the hope is that major taxis in goma across the board or in the democratic republic of the congo will soon adopt this keener alternative to a rolls royce phantom 5 from the 1960 s i mean, these are like the most beautiful vehicles in the world get at that sort of monuments to environment and history. They all objects that carries much cultural white. These are calls that were built in the era where i sort of beauty was the only real requirement. This is a 961. 00 roles responsive, 5 coach worked by james young and what special its electric we father, the legacies of the most beautiful peaceful called its good sights us so much. It fills us with so much pride scenario, but were providing something that will be siegel george, the so many decades to come. But all so what were really pleased to see is that we all winning the hearts and minds of that much younger generation. These people that have made their success. Theyve made success boston early in life. British footballing legend David Beckham is also now converting his rolls royce to electric power. He is in just a fan of the electrified roles, but also a shareholder in a company that specializes in converting old rolls royces to cleaner machines. Blueness was founded by dated lorenz, who named the company after his daughter. My daughters 4 years old just turned for actually last week and she sings this song and ive said it before, she goes go green, go green, make the planet green. So that generation shift is happening from that younger age. Isnt it shifting fast now . Which is fantastic to say these are building cause and Passenger Vehicles and commercial vehicles for future generations. And its a legacy that i wanted to had to have. And also to see these vehicles have a new lease of life. This is what the rolls royce phantom looked like when it 1st hit the road in 1900. 61. At lunas, the 1st step is to remove the internal Combustion Engine. Band completely dismantle the car. In restoration, you can really see how far we take the cars back the cars are liberated of their old lives by stripping them down to bare metal before every individual pieces, then meticulously restored. When you pull back to paint me, pull back to fella. What lies beneath it, sometimes a very ugly story of previous repass men. The chassis of the rolls royce is scanned in 3 d in order to begin its planning conversion to an electric vehicle on the computer. We take it all the way back and then start rebuilding it on the ground up against the fully struck the cost and that it really is a work of i meticulous manual labor is of utmost importance here. It is also imperative that the original weight distribution be retained aft of components for the electric Driver Installed crucial in order for the car to handle optimally. When work in the chassis and body is completed, the car shines in a completely new light. Then in goes the electric motor with a 120 kilowatt hour batteries. The interior of each car is completely bespoke we really mixed her in the elements of it, whether the screens or within the dash screens that are hidden within the dash. Youve got matt finishes on the wood, youve got cross finishes on the wood and the so much specification for the client to enjoy as they build these vehicles. And youve got bonnet lube is different wales spats on the vehicle. And its really lovely because every one of them is so individual. So you see them throughout the shop. And they only like an individual unique piece. Depending on your taste, the lunacy designers either restore the interior true to the original. Or they redesign it from scratch. And when you converted, rolls royce is leave the factory for the 1st time their test drive and boss laughs on the silver stone race track. Yes, the iconic formula one circuit is right across the road from the lunas factory. Here each cars technical systems are optimized once again and adapted to the vehicles. Finally, the electric classic car gets updated with cutting edge 21st century tech. Ive got incredibly efficient, modern brakes that make this car a real sort of effort as joy to drive. We update the steering, we update the suspension, so its a beautifully smooth experience. But i think its highly sort of ah, roles versus promise really. Sir henry royce was, of course, a famed electrical engineer. And, and he looked at what he was trying to achieve with the incredible engine engineering that he still has the company over over the foundations. He wont fit silent running. He wanted a very powerful engine that delivered power very smoothly. And of course, a electric power delivers exactly that. 19 o 6, the silver ghost was the 1st rolls royce to hit the streets with a spirit of ecstasy hood ornament leading the way it heralded the arrival of the most perfect car in europe. And with that came an elite clientele, it goes without saying at the british monarch, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd also rode. The rolls royce. So renowned was the brand and soviet leader lini.

David lawrence 1st guy ever built was there k 120 fix at cook, which was very similar to this vehicle . You know, i saw prince harrys wedding in the electric. He type which you know, most the wild. So at this point, especially in the u. K. Ah, on the occasion of their wedding, prince harry and megan markelle drove and electrified 1960 jaguar e type. Id already had a lot for classics and i saw the electric e type and i thought, incredible. I started my journey looking into just an easy path, transfer a stop to look at because it already exists on this planet and look how we can put Clean Air Power train into vehicles that already exist. Robin build you the queen of england doesnt usually use a rolls royce as her efficient car on state visits, that honor falls to bentleys, which is why it seemed natural to begin the process of electrifying this other Legendary British auto mark. This is actually one of full vehicles in the world. Possibly one of my favorite cars inherits a 2 door, james Young Bentley coop as 4 of these in the wild which makes extremely special i for source this car for the client. And its an incredible piece of history to protect and it came in very bad condition. And i love that were protecting something.
