EU Emissions for Rental Power

What You Need to Know About Stage V

In late 1997, European legislation began implementing emissions regulations for nonroad mobile machinery. These regulations are applicable to prime or standby power mobile generator sets and other nonroad equipment, including drill rigs, construction wheel loaders, bulldozers, highway excavators, forklift trucks, aerial lifts, and mobile cranes. Over time, the regulations have become progressively stricter in an effort to further reduce harmful engine exhaust substances, including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxides. The standards have advanced from the initial Stage I to today’s Stage V, which is also known as EU Regulation 2016/1628.

The Solution:

In 2021, Caterpillar introduced a new range of mobile generator sets certified for EU Stage V emission standards for nonroad mobile machinery designed to provide customers with a strategy to reduce costs and complexities. The first available model was a 200 kVA Cat® C7.1 powered generator followed by a 310 kVA Cat C9.3B powered generator set, with additional models released in 2022.

Emission Standards: Managing the Challenging Transition from EU Stage IIIA to EU Stage V in Europe

Established by the European Commission, emission standards for engines used in new nonroad mobile machinery (NRMM) have been gradually introduced to limit harmful substances in engine exhaust gas including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
