During Into The Great Wide Open 2024, the festival, with the help of Lab Vlieland and Emission-0, made the switch to electric machines for the setup and takedown. From cargo carts and trucks to gators and forklifts: emission-free alternatives provided a quieter and cleaner construction site.

The urgency of climate change calls for swift, concrete actions across all sectors, including the events and construction sectors. Festivals can play a pioneering role in this by testing new technologies and sustainable solutions, stimulating the market by making the switch, and demonstrating that it is already possible. Emission-free construction, as seen during the festival, is a good example of this.
