As of 01st January 2020 all NRMM machinery in the ULEZ or the CAZ must be to a Stage V emission standard. Over the coming years, this may expand further into London and other major cities across the UK. NRMM, particular from the construction sector, is a significant contributor to London’s air pollution. The NRMM Low Emission Zone uses the Mayor and London Borough’s planning powers to control emissions from NRMM used on construction sites.
Stage V equipment brings a significant reduction in the amount of CO2 produced (circa 11%), in comparison to Stage IIIA generators. They also bring a greater reduction to the more harmful emissions, such as Nitrogen Oxide (NOx). The sets do come at a substantial cost. The weekly rental rate can be as much as 75% higher than a Stage IIIA set and in addition to this, Adblue is required at a rate of 8 litres per 100 litres of fuel. This brings an additional cost, plus the extra fuel tank to hold the AdBlue.
During the past few years, Falcon have invested in a significant number of Stage V compliant generator sets to service our customers needs regardless of their location within the UK.
