The Maier Bros. fleet offers a versatile selection of vehicles with modern and environmentally friendly drive technologies for your film production. In addition to classic diesel trucks in Euro 6, CNG-BIOGAS trucks in 7.2t and 12t are also available for sustainable green shooting projects. A special highlight is the 18-tonne hydrogen-powered truck, which is equipped with two fuel cells and drives purely electrically. The vehicle fleet is complemented by the innovative film hybrid series, which provides a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly source of energy for film sets.
Green Shooting & Sustainability
Maier Bros. relies on innovative drive technologies such as CNG with biomethane and hydrogen to make film productions more sustainable. With environmentally friendly vehicles and an efficient power supply, we are actively helping to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote green shooting.
Sustainable drives: how CNG and hydrogen technologies reduce CO₂ emissions
The film industry is increasingly turning to sustainable solutions to make productions more climate-friendly. Maier Bros. is actively contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions with CNG and hydrogen vehicles.
CNG trucks: efficient and environmentally friendly
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel:
- with conventional natural gas 25% with biomethane 97% less CO₂ emissions compared to conventional trucks. (Due to the binding of CO2 from the air during the production of biomethane, the CO2 balance is higher: 96% of CNG in Germany is biomethane. This results in a very high level of CO2 savings. It only works the other way round: the CO2 disappears from the air through the plants from which the CNG is produced and is released back into the air when driving).
- Significantly less particulate matter and nitrogen oxides
- Bio-CNG is possible, resulting in almost CO₂-neutral production. (Precisely: 96% share in Germany)
Hydrogen trucks: the future of sustainable film production
Our 18-tonner with hydrogen drive sets new standards in sustainable film technology:
- Zero CO₂ emissions — the only “waste” is pure water vapor.
- Fast refueling in just a few minutes, no long charging times.
- Independent of fossil fuels, which saves costs in the long term.
Conclusion: Green Shooting with Maier Bros.
By using the film hybrids with an efficient power supply in the hybrid system, CNG and hydrogen technologies, Maier Bros. helps film productions to reduce their ecological footprint.
