Reduce Fuel
We were the first manufacturer to disclose the fuel consumption of our machines. Today, we support the introduction of a sector-wide standard.
Our aim: to share data with you that is essential to your purchasing decision, as it represents 1/3 of your total cost of ownership.
Our priority: energy efficiency
Unlike the automotive industry, the handling machine sector does not yet have standard rating system.We have therefore created an internal protocol enabling us to compare our fuel consumption measurements. In order to provide you with clear, reliable and transparent information, this data has been verified by a recognised organisation.
Measure
Consumption is measured for the activities representative of the handling equipment.
Our protocols are based on seven years of experience in consumption testing, field observation and sharing with our customers.
Tests executed in intensive conditions: to compare machines with a repeatable test to reflect the real-life conditions of certain uses
Increase reliability
In order to validate the direction taken by the Group in relation to fuel consumption and to go beyond the normal communication in the sector, we wanted to have our procedures validated by a recognised external organisation.Today, we support this approach at European level to ensure that the whole sector measures fuel consumption in the same way.
UTAC* has audited and verified that the tests performed comply with procedure (cycles used, methods of measurement, internal capabilities, etc.).
Tests performed by Manitou in accordance with internal procedures EP-695 and EP-1519 approved by the UTAC*.
