"Tacho" is now hosted by Thomy Scherrer
The new season of "Tacho" starts on SRF zwei on October 5, 2014. In future, the car magazine will be hosted by experienced SRF 1 broadcaster Thomy Scherrer.
Together with racing driver and proven car tester Fredy Barth, car journalist Nina Vetterli-Treml will put new car models through their paces. Car journalist Andreas Pauli has been recruited as a roving reporter, as detailed in a press release on Friday.
In addition to detailed tests, in which all important models are put to the test, "Tacho" focuses on reports on the subject of mobility, which are then also discussed in an expert talk. With Thomy Scherrer, the popular program now also has a face. The 54-year-old has been hosting the morning show on Radio SRF 1 for over 20 years. "As a technology freak, it's a great pleasure for me to be involved in a broadcast format that is all about cars and mobility. Being mobile is a great way of life, if it weren't for the environmental impact. That's why I've been following the technical development of cars with excitement for years, in the hope that future generations will be able to enjoy driving again without any worries, because only cars with sustainable drive systems will be available to buy."
Swiss racing driver Fredy Barth has already established himself as a car tester for "Tacho". In future, he will be joined by 33-year-old Zurich car journalist Nina Vetterli-Treml, who will test new cars and their characteristics, driving qualities, equipment and specific attributes. Also new to the team of experts is Andreas Pauli as a roving reporter. The 35-year-old from Bern works as a car journalist and is co-owner of a production company. Together with presenter Thomy Scherrer, the three experts will also take part in the panel discussion, in which the content of the individual reports will be discussed, analyzed and explored in greater depth.
SRF has commissioned the production company B&B Endemol Switzerland to produce the program. The Swiss production company V12 Media, which specializes in automobiles, is responsible for producing the reports by Andreas Pauli and the new car tests. "Tacho" will be broadcast every Sunday after "Sportpanorama" on SRF zwei. The first episode of the new season can be seen on October 5, 2014 at 7.30 pm.
