Manitou adds ECV markings

2 December 2022

Manitou, one of the earliest adopters of the Cesar plant marking and protection scheme, has now added the ECV (Emissions Compliance Verification) element of the initiative. The manufacturer began fitting the enhanced system earlier this year to all construction, aerial work platforms, and compact equipment leaving the factory onwards and for sale within the UK market. 

The Construction Equipment Association (CEA), owners of the Cesar scheme, developed ECV as a straightforward way of confirming the emissions category of construction equipment used within low emission zones (LEZ) and construction sites prioritising environmental awareness. 

The ECV marking enables quick visual identification of a machine’s status regarding compliance with engine emission regulations for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM).  

Mark Ormond (below), managing director of Manitou, commented: “With an industry looking increasingly at the environmental impacts of construction work Cesar ECV will be invaluable to Manitou customers working on, and companies managing, large-scale projects across the UK. We are very pleased to make this a standard fitment to the major part of our machine range.”
