The drone taxis are coming Around the world, companies are vying to be the first to fly people in autonomous aircraft ALWYN VIJOEN WHEELS has been predicting drones that can fly up to two people over cities will become the next big disruptor in transport faster than even we expect. Because drones that can be hailed to fly us 30 km away is as close as humans will get to teleportation. Now German company Volocopter has added more flesh to this prediction. Volocopter currently leads the big drone race to develop electrical vertical take-off and landing multicopters (eVTOL) as autonomous air taxis for the safe transport of people. The company last week presented its plans to fly 100 000 people an hour in air taxis high above big cities at prices the company predicts “won’t be significantly more expensive than taking a cab”. Volocopter’s vision integrates air taxis into existing transportation systems and provides additional mobility for up to 10 000 passengers per day with a single point-to-point connection. Co-founder Alex Zosel said in a statement he expects the first full Volocopter air taxi systems with dozens of Volo-Hubs and Volo-Ports to be in place by 2028, capable of flying 100 000 passengers an hour to their desired destination. Volocopters are emissionfree, electrically powered aircraft that take off and land vertically offering a high degree of safety based on full redundancy in all critical systems. The German company has shown repeatedly that Volocopters fly safely, first in Dubai and then in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). At the event, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich became the very first passenger in a Volocopter in the U.S. “That was fantastic. That was the best flight I have ever had. Everybody will fly one of these someday,” said Krzanich after completing the flight. Ecosystem of air taxis Florian Reuter, CEO at Volocopter, said the group’s ambitions do not end with developing the
aircraft, but continue to “develop the entire ecosystem making air taxi services a reality across the world”. This includes the physical and digital infrastructure to manage unmanned systems. The presented concept defines the infrastructure necessary to operate and scale an air taxi service into a full network system spanning over mega cities. It consists of Volo-Hubs and Volo-Ports. The Volo-Hubs resemble cable cart stations with Volocopters landing and taking off every 30 seconds for example. Once landed the Volocopter is moved inside the Volo-Hub. Passengers alight the aircraft protected from wind and weather. Battery packs will be swapped automatically in a protected area by robots before moving on to the section where passengers embark for take-off. Volo-Hubs are the key to substantially increase the capacity of any Volocopter system. Aside from protected deboarding and embarking, they offer sufficient space to park all Volocopters in operation and provide the infrastructure for charging and maintenance. Volo-Ports on every mall Volo-Ports expand the VoloHub system and offer direct access to a company, shopping mall, hotel or train station for example. They do not require any charging or parking infrastructure and subsequently will be less complex to build. Any Heliports can be used as a Volo-Port with minimal modification. “We expect any air taxi transport system to begin with a point to point connection and over time grow into a system of dozens of Volo-Hubs in a city.” says Alex Zosel, co-founder of Volocopter.
“Once operated at scale, flying won’t be significantly more expensive than taking a cab, but it will be significantly faster.” The company focuses on developing their aircrafts specifically for inner city missions. Volocopter features an extremely stable flight allowing it to manoeuvre micro turbulences around skyscrapers thus offering a smooth ride for passengers. Inaudible from 100 m away It has an agreeable sound signature and is so quiet that from 100 m away, it will not be heard over the background noise of a typical city. As it is electrically powered, it is emission-free in flight. Both noise and pollution are paramount considerations to achieving public acceptance of any new transport system. The technical platform is extremely flexible and permits piloted, remote controlled, and fully autonomous flight. In addition, the unique design offers unprecedented degrees of safety based on the high level of redundancy in all critical components. As early as 2011 the company earned its entry into the history of aviation through the manned flight of the world’s first purely electrical multicopter. Volocopter milestones: In 2016 Volocopter was granted provisional licensing for a twoseater Volocopter by the German aviation authority. In 2017 the aviation start-up showcased the first ever autonomous flight of an air taxi in cooperation with RTA Dubai. In the meantime, the founders Stephan Wolf and Alexander Zosel have gathered a team of experienced managers like CEO Florian Reuter and CTO Jan-Hendrik. Daimler, Intel and Lukasz Gadowski are among the investors in the company.

So, you want a bakkie? Bakkies now come with infotainment systems and soft suspension, but some still carry a load ALWYN VILJOEN THERE are only two types of bakkie drivers in South Africa — those in a Hilux, and those in “other bakkies”. The Hilux remains not just SA’s best selling bakkie, but best-selling vehicle., Increasingly, the other bakkie is a Ford Ranger, but South African bakkie buyers will soon have even more luxury double cabs to choose from, including a Renault and a Mercedes-Benz. To find the bakkie that will best meet your business, family or transport needs, answer the questions below. Q What is more important, the: • resale value, • running costs, • or the initial outlay?
If the price you will get for the bakkie four years down the line matters, fleet managers say the Hilux keeps its value best. The Kinsey parts basket survey also puts the typical cost of wear and tear parts for the Hilux at 13% of the new price, which is the lowest among double cabs. The catch? Most sold also means most stolen. PHOTO: MOTORPRESS
If running costs are the main concern, look no further than GWM Steed. The sub-total for brake pads, oil filters and wipers, is the lowest on 2017 Kinsey Parts Basket The catch? Big things like cam belts and rear disk drums cost more than what Nissan or Isuzu charges. PHOTO: JONATHAN BURTON
Q How much does the badge matter? Lots, in this town, people judge you on your wheels, you know. Badges don’t matter, but I do want to stand out from the crowd...
Metro Cars wants less than R142 000 (before a current R10 000 cash back special) for a new Changan Star 1.3, which is a very well-put together little workhorse for in-town deliveries. The catch? Bigger blokes don’t so much drive the Changan as wear it. PHOTO: ALWYN VILJOEN
The Mazda BT-50 tells people who know this is basically the Ford Ranger for less money. The catch? Mazda’s future focus is on cars.. PHOTO: QUICKPIC Do you carry loads or pull trailers? Yes, but not heavy loads. Yes, produce to the market and the boat to the beach. Yes, we load the family and pull the caravan to go camping as often as we can.
JMC makes a tried and tested 2,8-litre turbo diesel bakkie for small businesses that competes head on with the cabover-engines from Kia and Huyndai. The catch? Fewer dealers than the Koreans have, also a shorter warranty.

Yes, I rep over three provinces, carrying heavy samples. No, but I drive lots around town carrying equipment. Isuzu only makes trucks and bakkies and as you’d expect, its KB-range sells all this commercial vehicle expertise with either a proven 2,5-litre and 3,0-litre turbo diesel. The fact that the LX models also include all the little luxuries considered normal in passenger cars is a bonus. The catch? They are not the cheapest, but it’s a buyer’s market. Demand a discount. PHOTO: ALWYN VILJOEN
Not so long ago, SA had three more “half-tonners” on sale, the Fiat Strada, Ford Bantam and Chevrolet/Opel Ute. Now the Nissan NP200 “ranges” supreme, with Toyota and VW not interested in selling these loss-leaders. The catch? We prefer the van-version, the NV200, as the lower floor makes for easier loading, but the bakkie is cheaper for tight budgets. PHOTO: FILE
Due to launch next month in South Africa, the Mercedes-Benz Xclass will for the first time offer the styleaware bakkie fan in SA (they do exist, actually) a premium brand with a load bed. The catch: The Sprinter chassis cab and/or Unimog already does this job, and for less than the X-Class. PHOTO: MERCEDES-BENZ Nothing says you are a successful farmer quite as subtly as the Toyota Land Cruiser does. Original Toyota parts are available under every tree where a backyard mechanic operates, as several pan-African travellers told Wheels. The catch? A hard ride and old tech that comes with a serious fuel thirst. PHOTO: ALWYN VILJOEN
The Ford Ranger has been Car magazine’s “Best Buy” for seven consecutive years. Granted, the fine fellows at Car have never washed cow poo from a bakkie, but they do understand good engineering. The catch? Its very easy to abuse the clutch with 470 Nm. PHOTO: QUICKPIC

Jazz can be made to flare GORDON HALL games Honda’s Jazz Sport and finds the CVT better than previous generations ONE could say, “Granny’s Car Got Game” as Honda’s new Jazz Sport sheds its “little old lady” image to cloak itself in a new persona. As Fit RS, its name in some markets, it’s the default virtual car used by the makers of video game Gran Turismo 6 to walk new players through the process. It makes nine kilowatts and 10 Newton-metres more music than the Jazz Dynamic pair it replaces, takes styling cues from Civic RS, upgrades its touch screen to 7” and swaps 239 mm discs for the standard rear drums. It also adds LED headlights and DRLs, red accents and stitching inside, an HDMI socket, back-up camera and parking sensors, two more speakers and push-button starting. Like the basic “game” car, Jazz Sport uses a stepped CVT gearbox with seven virtual ratios. One of the phased-out Dynamic models had a five-speed manual shifter so if you really want that you will need to buy down. To ease possible disappointment, all the above kit comes at no extra charge, so maybe it’s a case of swings and roundabouts. The body kit consists of a new, triple-strake rear diffuser with red accent line, enlarged rear spoiler, side skirts, wicked black wheels and mirrors, a sleeker grille with piano black and chrome accents, more prominent front bumper with black surrounds for the fog lamps, and a further red pin stripe on the redesigned splitter. All this adds 96 mm to the car’s length and, especially in black, accentuates its benignly evil face; very Darth Honda. While the company could have cluttered the car with gadgets it thankfully chose not to, so most of what you really want is provided but other, needlessly costly, toys were avoided. It gives you six airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioning, ISOFix mountings, ABS brakes with EBD, VSC, hill start assist, automatic headlamp levelling, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity and Honda’s versatile back seats. Expensive stuff left out includes automatic stop-start, autonomous braking, lane keeping aids and the

Sport, when you want it, is just aft of Drive on the gearshift slot while green and blue bands flanking the speedometer let you know whether you’re being good or naughty. Getting down to brass tacks, performance is “sportish” rather than overtly sporty and the CVT is better than some previous generations have been. Provided you don’t get too aggressive, it kicks down nicely and provides a steady flow of power. Provoking it lightly brings in the stepping process and behaviours like those of a regular automatic. It can be made to flare if you play dirty, so keep it cool. Final thoughts: It’s solid, handles well, has plenty of room for fullygrown passengers in the back, offers a decent boot and is not overly complicated. We would, however, like to suggest some “Rally Sport” upgrades as one can in the game. One of Honda’s existing turbocharged 1500cc engines and a sixspeed manual gearbox would be excellent — Game On, for a Fitter kind of RS. (Test unit supplied from Honda Motor SA press fleet.)

Morgado chasing Vaal glory KZN’s karters face tough racing as SA’s top racers meet in the Vaal, writes STUART JOHNSTON A QUICK read of the Rotax SA National Karting Championship points logs gives only a vague idea as to the kind of form expected at Round Two, when all six classes of the Rotax series do battle at the Laserfiche Raceway next to the old Vereeniging Showgrounds on Sunday. Changeable conditions from wet to dry and back again at iDubein late March for the first round meant that a couple of highly-fancied drivers lost out, due to making the wrong call on set-up and tyres. The recent Regional held at Vereeniging is probably a more accurate guide to current form, as many drivers from KZN and the Western Cape made the trip up to dial their karts in for 2018’s second National. But there were also some significant names missing from the entry list that could change the whole picture, come the last Sunday in April. In the fastest karting class in South Africa, the DD2 two-speed gearbox class is expected to break all entry records for a national in many a year. An impressive 32 drivers started at iDube, and there could be more in the Vaal Triangle. Leading the charge Port Elizabeth’s Michael Stephen leads the charge on 97 points, followed by Vereeniging’s Arnold Neveling on 94, KZN’s Cristiano Morgado on 93, Ben Habig from KZN on 90, reigning DD2 champ Bradley Liebenberg from Lonehill on 79, and Western Province’s Jurie Swart on 78. Other quick drivers to take note of are the Cape duo, Jurie
Jo’burg karter Aqil Alibhai, seen here at a wet Laserfiche Raceway last year, will aim for another podium in in the National Karting Championship on Sunday. PHOTO: MOTORSPORT Swart and Jason Coetzee. Don’t discount Justin Allison from Bloemfontein, Jordan North from Northcliff and Cape Town’s Luke Herring from making a big impression on Sunday. In the DD2 Masters class for drivers aged 32 and over, Michael Stephen, a multiple production car, GTC and karting champion, will always be in with a chance. But so is KZN’s multiple World DD2 Masters champion Cris Morgado, and possibly Rotax series newcomer Simon Moss from PE, who was notably quick in the dry at iDube. Stephen leads the points chase
from Morgado, Brett Brito from Eastern Province, KZN’s Simon Wilde and Jonathan Pieterse. Senior Max The Senior Max class for drivers aged 14 and over drew a strong entry for the Vereeniging regional of 14 karts, and bodes well for Sunday’s national event. At Round One KZN’s Jonathan Pieterse was on good form to win, and currently heads the points table on 93, ahead of the ever-impressive Jason Coetzee (running two classes this year) on 90, followed Cris Morgado (another driver doing both DD2 and non-gearbox Senior Max)
and KZN’s Dane van Heerde. Jason Coetzee was the fastest Regional qualifier at Vereeniging and the impressive Wayland Wyman was next up, followed by KZN’s Dominic Lincoln, Liam Pienaar and Joshua Dias, all within a tenth of a second of the pole man. Coetzee, Wyman and Pienaar had podiums last week. Junior Max The drivers aged 12-15 has been the secondmost impressive class this year in terms of entries. No fewer than 23 drivers scored points at iDube at the
end of March, and the recent Vereeniging regional showed that competition for Round Two will be as fierce as ever. Jarrod Waberski leads on 95 points followed by the focused Charl Visser from Durbanville on 93. Gauteng’s Aqil Alibhai lies third on 79, followed by Western Province’s Tate Bishop (77)and Gauteng’s Daniele Patrizi (73). Patrizi won the overall day’s event at the recent regional, and other drivers who showed well included Cape Town’s Joseph Oelz, a good bet for Round Two honours, Jayden Els, Zaeem Goolam and Cape Town’s Simon Simpson-Heath. Mini Max This class, for drivers aged 9-13, saw 15 starters at the Laserfiche Raceway at last weekend’s regionals and with more drivers expected to travel from far-flung regions for the more important Round Two National, entries could approach the 20 mark. After the unpredictable first round, Cape Town’s Mikhail Fernandez on 95 points, followed by very quick KZN driver Liam de Beer on 93. Josh le Roux from Gauteng is third on 91, fourth is WP’s Joaquin de Oliveira on 87, fifth is Gauteng’s Joshua de Paiva, while Reece Fuller (Gauteng) is sixth on 80 points. Proving that his win in KZN
was no fluke, Fernandez also won the recent Regional at Vereeniging, followed home by fellow WP driver Kyle Visser. Micro Max The class for drivers aged 7-11, has had a fantastic start with 17 karters scoring championship points at iDube. Leading the charge going to Vereeniging is young Joshua de Paiva, who was the only driver to really dominate in Round One. He arrives at Vereeniging with a full house score of 105 points He is chased in joint-second place by Reza Levy from the famous Cape Town-based Levy racing family, and KZN’s Troy Snyman, both with 88 points. Bjorn Bertholdt from Gauteng is fourth on 83 points, followed by two KZN aces, Dhiyven Naidoo (81) and Rayn Asmal (76). Mohammed Moerat, a talented junior driver, missed the opening National, but won the April 14 regional overall at Vereeniging, so he should be strong for Round Two. Also quick was Muhammed Wally (the current Micro Max champion) and Luviwe Sambudla, who scored two impressive second places last time out in the Vaal area. Gauteng’s KC EnsorSmith had a torrid weekend at iDube, but showed well at Vereeniging.

York Rally sees champions back to the fore DEFENDING South African National Rally Champions, KZN-based Guy Botterill and navigator Simon Vacy-Lyle, are back in the championship fight after a resounding victory on the 2018 York Rally, Round 2 of championship. The Toyota Gazoo Racing SA crew had failed to score points on the opening round of the season, but a solid performance in the forests of Sabie saw them make up lost ground. At the same time, Round 1 winners Richard Leeke and Henry Kohne (Ford) bowed out of the event on Day 2, further closing the gap between the Toyota Etios R2 crew and their nearest competitors. With that said, AC Potgieter
and Nico Swartz (Volkswagen Polo) recorded a fifth-place finish, and are now provisionally tied with Toyota Etios R2 driver Matthew Vacy-Lyle, partnered for this event with Rikus Fourie, at the top of the overall standings. “We had a great event,” said Botterill after completing the spectacular final stage near the town of Sabie. “We kept things clean throughout, and managed to bring home the points we needed. “The car was perfect, and even though the conditions in Sabie were extremely tricky, we had no issues during the weekend.” Botterill/Vacy-Lyle opted for a cautious approach on the
opening stages of the rally, given the wet conditions underfoot. They were in second position prior to the last stage of the opening day, but inherited the lead when early pacesetter Jono van Wyk (Ford Fiesta) blew an engine in the final stage of the day. Day 2 saw the crews take on the traditional stages that have made up the Sasol Rally — and latterly the York Timbers Rally — for many years. The day started with the mad dash through the streets of Nelspruit at the so-called Spaghetti Junction, and was followed by stages like Maggsleigh, Hendriksdal and MTO Rutland. The rally concluded with the spectacular downhill
charge at the York Sabie Grande Finale. Botteril/Vacy-Lyle kept it clean throughout, but was kept honest throughout the event by Matthew Vacy-Lyle and Rikus Fourie, in a nearidentical Toyota Etios R2. Next up for the SA National Rally Championship will provisionally take place in Gauteng, and is scheduled for May 25-26. — Supplied.
