JCB makes CESAR ECV standard
CESAR Emissions Compliance Verification (ECV) will be standard on every JCB EU Stage V and electric machine for the UK market from March 1st 2020. A second label, which can easily be scanned to verify the machine’s emissions compliance, will be positioned alongside the existing CESAR triangle. UK projects already trialling the scheme, have found that less time is being lost on delivery to site and there are fewer air quality inspections required for equipment in operation.
A JCB Hydradig was the first machine to be equipped with the ECV label at the Plantworx construction show in June 2019. With Clean Air Zones and emissions restrictions becoming increasingly common in cities and on major construction projects across the UK, ECV allows site personnel to simply scan a QR code with a smart phone, or call a 24-hour helpline, rather than having to access engine data plates to check build details. Electric machinery, like JCB’s innovative 19C-1E mini excavator, will be equipped with a white triangular ECV label, while EU Stage V diesel powered equipment will use a green ECV sticker.
