A JCB Hydradig was the first machine to be equipped with the ECV label at the Plantworx construction show in June 2019. With Clean Air Zones and emissions restrictions becoming increasingly common in cities and on major construction projects across the UK, ECV allows site personnel to simply scan a QR code with a smart phone, or call a 24-hour helpline, rather than having to access engine data plates to check build details.
Electric machinery, like JCB’s innovative 19C-1E mini excavator, will be equipped with a white triangular ECV label, while EU Stage V diesel powered equipment will use a green ECV sticker.
