JCB has announced it is stepping up efforts to improve the security and emissions visibility of its Stage V generator range.
The move was announced at the 2026 annual meeting of the Association of Manufacturers and Suppliers of Power Generating Systems (AMPS), the UK’s power generation trade association.
JCB’s focus is on measures that help protect equipment, support emissions checks, and give customers greater confidence in machines.
Generators are frequently moved between sites, hired across fleets, and passed through wide supply chains. JCB said that clear and trusted identification is increasingly important — not just for managing assets, but also for verifying emissions standards and helping police recover stolen equipment.
JCB was the first member of the AMPS to adopt CESAR Emissions Compliance Verification (CESAR ECV) for its RS generator range, following the association’s decision to make the system available to members. CESAR ECV works alongside the established CESAR security scheme, owned by the Construction Equipment Association (CEA) and delivered by Datatag.
Tiago Courinha, JCB global business head for power generation, said, “Customers want confidence that their equipment is compliant, secure and easy to identify. By backing clear identification and emissions checks, we’re supporting solutions that work on site and add real value for owners and operators.”
Viki Bell, CEO of the CEA, added, “JCB’s continued support for CESAR ECV is important for the wider sector. It shows that security and emissions visibility are being taken seriously at manufacturer level and that there is real value in giving customers practical support from the outset.”
