Around 80 percent of all goods in Germany are transported by truck. Ninety-nine percent of all trucks run on diesel, a fossil fuel which causes about 28 percent of CO2 emissions in road traffic throughout the EU. But this is about to change soon. According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/EN\/legal-content\/summary\/deployment-of-alternative-fuels-infrastructure.html\"> EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation<\/a> (AFIR), an H2 refueling station for heavy goods vehicles must be available every 200 km along the trans-European core network by 2030. This is because hydrogen can also be used in converted combustion engine trucks (H2ICE) and can therefore be used by the large existing diesel fleet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The hydrogen truck is now a reality on the film set. The film equipment rental company <a href=\"https:\/\/maierbros.com\/\">Maier Bros.<\/a> has added a truck with a fue cell drive to its portfolio, which <a href=\"http:\/\/fridayfilm.de\/\">Friday Film<\/a> used for the first time on the set of a streaming production in Berlin. \u201cHydrogen-powered trucks are an environmentally friendly alternative to classic diesel trucks\u201d, emphasizes Maier Bros. Managing Director Knut Maier, who leased the <a href=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/2021\/11\/05\/on-the-move\/\">Hyundai XCIENT fuel cell vehicle<\/a> from the Cologne-based company Hylane. The 18-ton transporter, named Poseidon, has a range of about 450 km and can be fully refueled in 15 minutes. To ensure the hydrogen supply, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hylane.de\/\">Hylane<\/a> has entered into cooperation with various filling station operators.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EiWKAaANpLM?si=l5wUVvVD8_RCz8h_\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Production Manager Susan Engnath and Green Consultant Roman Russo did not hesitate for long when Friday Film was offered the fuel cell truck. \u201cWe try to produce greener whenever possible.\u201d Since the film crew commuted back and forth between the Berlin City Center and Babelsberg for this TV series, hydrogen was an available option. The truck was refueled with 350 bar at the H2 filling station in Berlin-Neuk\u00f6lln. \u201cThat worked without a hitch\u201d, assures Susan Engnath. \u201cWe\u2019d be happy to use the Poseidon again at any time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7008\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW-630x412.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/LichtLKW.jpg 907w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><\/a>In order to meet the requirements for transporting film equipment, the truck\u2019s cargo area is equipped with a box that includes a tail lift. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of space\u201d, says Gaffer Tilman Hautsch, so the lighting equipment can be easily stowed in the Poseidon. \u201cThe huge height-adjustable tail lift makes it easy for us to load and unload.\u201d Before his first outing with the fuel cell powered truck, he received an introduction on what to watch out for while \u2018trucking up\u2019 the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe available number of filling stations, as well as hydrogen costs, is not yet ideal for frequent long-distance hauls\u201d, says Knut Maier, \u201cbut we have already seen in the past how quickly new technologies develop.\u201d A boost could be provided by the new <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/ALL\/?uri=celex%3A32003L0096\">EU Energy Taxation Directive<\/a> (ETD), which categorizes fuels according to their climactic and environmental impact.
