HYDREMA (UK) has become the latest manufacturer to fit CESAR and Emission Compliance Verification (ECV) to its Stage V dump trucks.
CESAR is the official construction and agricultural equipment security and registration scheme. It is owned by the CEA (Construction Equipment Association).
Mark Hyde, sales director at Hydrema (UK), said, “We are delighted to be working with the CEA and CESAR team in our shared objective of reducing carbon emissions and fighting theft in the UK construction and infrastructure sectors.
“The fitting of CESAR ECV and Datatag on Hydrema Stage V dump trucks is one way that Hydrema UK can support this scheme. Clients and contractors alike can be assured of our ongoing commitment to meeting the highest emissions standards and security requirements with the implementation of this system.”
In 2019, the CEA and Datatag ID announced the launch of the biggest evolution of the CESAR scheme to date with the addition of ECV. The CESAR ECV system combines the technology behind the security marking scheme with an additional colour-coded plate showing the engine emission stage from stage two through to stage five and now includes electric and, coming soon, hydrogen.
The information about the machine is collated on a secure database accessible through the ECV clearing portal. This information enables plant owners and operators, contractors, and site managers to comply with any local obligations in place regarding machinery emissions levels.
JCB and Hitachi were among the first manufacturers to fit the CESAR ECV scheme as standard in early 2020.
Suneeta Johal, CEO of the Construction Equipment Association, said, “Since the launch of the CESAR ECV system in 2019 the scheme has gained significant traction and we are delighted to report that over 90% of construction machinery manufacturers have adopted the emissions compliance verification scheme, alongside CESAR identification. It is great news to have Hydrema on board with the scheme and making emissions easier to understand across the construction industry, whilst deterring would-be thieves.”
Kevin Howells, CEO, Datatag ID Ltd, added, “It’s a testament to Hydrema UK that this wholly owned subsidiary of the larger Hydrema Danish Group, who have been manufacturing some of the best construction machinery on the market since 1959, continue to press ahead and protect and register their customers’ machinery with CESAR. the official construction equipment security identification scheme.”
