Proactive policies by China to better support the transition to zero-emission construction equipment
As China’s construction sector transitions to zero-emission machinery, proactive policies including pilot projects and ambitious emission standards and targets for electrification would help accelerate the market.
India needs a policy push to harvest the rich benefits of electric tractors
The blog provides an overview of Tractors India’s corporate strategies, highlighting their commitment to leveraging innovative technologies and customer-centric approaches to enhance their market presence and operational efficiency.
India’s electric tractors are ready but idling
Including zero-emission tractors in the FAME II scheme would send a strong signal to the industry and is essential for supporting India’s net-zero goal.
China IV non-road standards: A golden opportunity to advance stringent limits and mandate filters
To lead the way in effectively controlling emissions from non-road vehicles, it is crucial for China to advance the China IV standards, as more stringent requirements on emissions will always lead to more advanced emission control technology. Thus, China would be wise to adopt the combination of the Tier 4 final emission standards (including covering non-road equipment of all sizes) and DPF requirement directly as the new China IV emission standards to effectively control PM and NOx emissions.
A sneak preview of future stages of Indian emission standards for non-road engines reveals a tractor-sized loophole
In short, it’s welcome news that Indian regulators have set their sights on catching up with best-practice emissions standards for non-road engines. Here’s hoping that in aiming for that goal in 2025 they don’t overlook a simple fix that will bring even more immediate help in solving the persistent air pollution problems facing the country.
