The location for the product video was the testing ground of the machine manufacturer Fuchs-Terex in Bad Schönborn. By means of 12 car wrecks and extensive CGI post-production, the premises were turned into a "scrapyard". The real "star" on the set: an MHL 350 – a 40-ton handling machine of Fuchs-Terex full of intelligent ifm control technology.
