00:00TOKAL is for a long time now the very first new completely new Bentley and it comes with everything
00:07that defines a Bentley. It comes with a lot of technology but it's also a clear statement
00:11with our investment that we continue to build these cars in crew. It comes with innovation
00:19and heritage. It comes with all the craftsmanship. It's a Bentley first. It comes with a new design
00:24language and it's really a blueprint of all our cars that will come in the future and we are very
00:32proud that we can build these cars with our skilled workforce in crew in the UK. TOKAL is our first
00:41really new car for a long time now and it comes with new technology, new design language. It's really
00:48a blueprint on what we expect on future Bentley cars and this is also a clear statement of our
00:57investment in crew of continuing to build these fabulous cars in the UK with our skilled people
01:05and employees that design, engineer and build these cars here. It's maybe the most important car launch
01:12in our 107 year history. It's a complete new car and it's electric. It's designed, engineered and built
01:19in crew. It comes with a lot of new technology but it also keeps the craftsmanship of Bentley. It's a
01:26very significant milestone for us because it expands our range so we can offer now ice cars, hybrids but
01:34also fully electric cars. We think the timing is now just perfect. EV technology has matured and it now
01:41fulfills Bentley standards. We see a lot of positive reaction from customers but also from new friends
01:47of the Bentley brand to the car for those that have already had a closer look to the car. But
01:54it also
01:54comes with way higher acceptance of electric cars in the wider market and so we feel it's exactly the
02:01right moment to launch the Bentley TOKAL now. Our decision to produce and build TOKAL in the UK
02:09is a strong statement. We believe strongly in this country and in our site in crew. It's more than 4
02:16,000
02:17people that are working on our site and it's a strong sign and a big investment we did in our
02:24site to
02:24protect these workplaces. But it's also a huge effort of upskilling, bringing in new technology and not
02:32looking backwards. We clearly have a plan for the future. This is why we have invested in the UK and
02:38in
02:38crew. We are driving very clearly a customer focused and a market focused approach. We see markets are
02:46developing in different speeds. China is different than Europe or the US and customers have different
02:52needs. So we don't believe in one size fits all solutions. And the cars we offer, the range we are
02:59offering in the luxury segment, that means you have choice. It's up to the customer, to their needs,
03:06to their benefits, what is the right drivetrain for them. So that does not come from just us. And
03:13with the completion and the offer now, with the TOKAL being the first electric Bentley, we have really a
03:19complete range and we are not replacing a car. We are offering an additional car to our offer. And
03:26that's why we are so exciting because we expect we find a lot of new customers, a lot of new
03:31friends of our brand.
