Impressive how this large wind turbine blade is transported through the mountains. A great display of trailer engineering AND driving skills! Unexpected to me…

Say "no" to vertical videos!

Es gibt da so einen Spruch, den ich verabscheue, aber leider ist er wahr:
Wer etwas will, sucht Wege. Wer etwas nicht will, sucht Gründe.
Allerdings geht grad ne (weiß die Details nicht mehr, aber ich glaube) Schwedische Firma mit Holzwindrädern an den Start. Modular, daher einfach zu transportieren, leichter, belastbarer, langlebiger, dadurch auch günstiger und def. umweltfreundlicher als die herkömmlichen Dinger
@peterjelinek In Germany nothing is possible other than the things people have been doing “since forever”.
True story in many German offices when you want to introduce something new, at least a couple of hands will go up saying “I retire in < 5 years. Can’t we do this [NEW THING] after I am in Rente?”
@peterjelinek I know it’s an old post, but since you mentioned a specific number and a concrete number, you either casually did not care about the source, or intentionally so. The linkedin source you posted is from Peter Jelinek posted in Sep 2023
The video is credited to a post of Michael Houben on Linkedin 1 month ago, who in turn credited a post on the same site by Pareekh Jain from 8 months ago. Jain credited “Credit: Unknown, ViaWeb”.
So, further traceback.
Combined with the keyword “motorist” (who appeared in the later half of the video), the video seems to start circulate around Feb 2023. Tom Raftery post on Feb 21, 2023 at twitter with the following text:
If you think your job is challenging, try being this truck driver transporting a wind turbine blade through mountain roads in China!
On the same day, a reddit post in r/interestingasfuck also has one person who commented that it was in China, but did not give their source. An earlier upload on Feb 18 exists on douyin.com, with text hardcoded in and credited user Y.J on the same platform whose profile says they work professionally in wind energy sector with an interest in the transportation of huge objects.
Douyin, aka tiktok, is a login-walled garden and i do not have an account && didn’t track down further, but it should be apparent that this has nothing to do with Germany or its labor market.
