1 November = All Saints’ Day. This is an National holiday in Belgium and therefore we’re closed today…
One of the Taiwanese manufacturers works on a conversion kit for the VW bus… they’re very serious about it and are in testing fase…
The team of engineers is mind-blowing, hired from a real car manufacturer!
Yours truly was invited for test drive and report…
The performance is impressive and it still drives like a bus, I missed the typical aircooled noise though…
The drive line and suspension is simply state of the art…
Proud to help with this project.
Imagine we might drive our babies the electric way in the near future….
The engineering team was glad to join the banner moment!
Imagine we can drive our babies the electric way in the near future!
With this the 2019 Asia factory tour posts come to an and… work is waiting at BBT HQ, i better rush to home now…:)
Thanks for following my travel posts… hope you like it, comments always welcome in the comment section…:)
On our Asia factory tour we also stopped by Vintage Speed; Custom and Commercial Andy set up to make his own exhaust….from scratch…
Vintage speed is a real cool factory, driven on the passion of its owner Mr MT….
Come on Andy let’s build that exhaust….
Side plates been specially engraved for Andy!
The pressing of the side plates is fairly simple tool and a hand press…
When everything was ready we did a real quick tetris challenge… Andy and all his exhaust components…flat out…:)
Then it really kicked off…. the robot plasma cutting the holes in the inner tubes..
Cone the pipes so they fit in each other.
Making the inner parts for the muffler.
and let the assembly begins!
They roll the flat stainless sheet metal on this machine into a perfect round.
about half way…
Robot TIG welding was fairly impressive.
then the assembly of the inner parts begins…
So Andy will have a cool exhaust on his bus… Thanks to MT and the team of Vintage Speed. It was real cool we could follow the production all way down…
Time for a coffee… a Vintage Speed coffee in style!
The Vintage speed team full force…
Thanks for the wonderful day MT it was another really wunderday in beautiful Taiwan!
