🛞 Shifting Gears | Wow. What a whirlwind of a day. On Wednesday, we brought together experts from the Film & TV and EV industries to find solutions to the question: How do we get more #electricvans and trucks used in production in 2027? 💪🏼 An ambitious goal, we know. Though when clever, engaged, innovative folks are in the room, dial-shifting conversations start to take shape. Focused discussions centred around hearing the specifics, sharing experiences and learning from each other. 🔑 The key takeaway? Film & TV's "travelling circus" is full of specialist vehicles and use cases. But the #electrification challenges are common across sectors. By working across industries, we have found new #partnerships, new #solutions and new inspiration to electrify film & TV production faster. We spoke about: 🚛What vehicles are already available and in use; the significance of #vehicleutilisation, rather than vehicle range; ⚡️ How to think smarter about unlocking existing #charging infrastructure; 🧍♀️ Drivers refusing to go back to diesel trucks thanks to electric’s torque, reduced vibration and lower noise; 🤔 and perhaps why film & TV shouldn’t be quite so ‘rigid’… The room was humming with excitement throughout. Huge thanks to all of our speakers: Abhishek Sampat Amy Stokes Beth Barker Jamie Sands Charlie Cook Paul Swain Neil Durno Laurence Johnson Richard Burnett Steve Knight Our magnificent partners British Film Institute (BFI) and Netflix And of course brains behind the operation and our eloquent host Alexander Lewis-Jones Watch this space for what comes next.

🛞 Shifting Gears - an event specifically curated to connect the UK Film & TV and the EV industry to accelerate the adoption of #electricvans and trucks. 🔌 In our second session, we've lined up an expert panel focusing on #chargingsolutions: Charlie Cook, Rightcharge Neil Durno, VOLTEMPO Paul Swain, TUAL | Pro-Charging They'll be discussing what infrastructure exists today? How do you upgrade your depot? How can we use temporary charging solutions for film & TV productions? ❗This is an invite-only event to allow the most material conversations to take place in person. If someone from your network should be part of the #filmandtv truck transition conversation, please introduce us.

📣 Speakers Announcement! 📣 Shifting Gears: connecting the UK Film & TV industry with the EV industry to accelerate the adoption of electric vans and trucks. We know #electricvehicle adoption is key to enabling the industry to #decarbonise, starting with the most direct, material emissions.  In our first panel, we'll be speaking with: Abhishek Sampat, BCA UK, Beth Barker, Aldersgate Group Jamie Sands Welch Group and Amy Stokes Volvo Trucks UK We'll discuss how we electrify our vans and trucks (between 3.5t and 42t), what vehicles are coming to market and how do we overcome challenges such as range and payload? ❗This is an invite-only event to allow the most material conversations to take place in person.

🛞 Shifting Gears: connecting the Film & TV and EV industries 🛞 From our work on #TheFuelProject, we understand #electricvehicle adoption is key to enabling the industry to #decarbonise, starting with the most direct, material emissions. That’s why we’re hosting Shifting Gears, in partnership with Netflix and the British Film Institute (BFI). Shifting Gears is curated by Creative Zero to connect the UK Film & TV industry with the EV industry and accelerate the adoption of #electricvans and #electrictrucks. We are inviting key stakeholders to join the conversation in person, drive it forward, and help bring about faster #electrification. Panellists and workshops will share industry challenges with the people creating the solutions. We will cover vehicle technology, charging infrastructure, and policy alongside financing the change. There will be time to have one-on-one conversations about fleet decarbonisation, charging facility installation, and so much more. ❗This is an invite-only event to allow the most material conversations to take place in person. If someone from your network should be part of the #filmandtv truck transition conversation, please introduce us. We are ensuring those who want to finance, manufacture, or drive the change are in the room alongside those who create the policies and mandates and can choose whether the vehicles coming to set are electric or not.

This time last week we were wrapping up our first Hands On Clean Power Workshop, with fantastic co-hosts Get Set Hire, at Garden Studios. 🔋 We held sessions on #powerliteracy, power monitoring, #greenhydrogen and hands on hybridised generator set ups. Our fantastic partners had their clean power kits set up, including waterproof batteries, Hussh pod baked pastries, XL battery powered lights with more demonstrations around the studio. 🤝 A huge thanks to all who were involved: Green Kit Ltd Instagrid PESS Energy NXTGENbps OnBio Boels Rental CES Power IDE Systems GeoPura Event Electrix Top takeaways: 🌟 By using a hybridised system you can reduce emissions, save fuel (and likely money), without getting 'range anxiety'. 🌟 Monitoring and measuring your power output is imperative to understanding what your future needs are and to prevent over-speccing. 🌟 Green Hydrogen is 'not a bomb', and is now almost on a par with costs of diesel. If you missed it, and want to feel more confident speaking about clean power to production teams and crew, you can book on to Steve Knight's clean power planning training session in November (online) here: https://lnkd.in/g39imsEe We'll be running similar events in the future providing up-skilling and hands on experience for production teams and crew across the creative sector so stay tuned!
