The route to Stage V compliance and beyond outlines the scope of the Stage V standards, which are being implemented in 2019-2020 as a means of reducing air pollution. The standards enforce stricter limits on emissions of particulate matter, along with newly proposed particle number limits, forcing manufacturers to equip some non-road engines in certain power categories with equipment such as diesel particulate filters.

The Atlas Copco e-guide provides customers with a clear roadmap to Stage V compliance while explaining how the new standards will lead to a range of cleaner and better-performing products that will be quieter, smaller, and more fuel-efficient than ever before.

"While some industrial suppliers have struggled to come to terms with the impact of new engine architectures on the products they offer, Atlas Copco has long since recognised that the introduction of Stage V presents real scope for technological advancement," said Andrew Walker, president of Atlas Copco's Power Technique Business Area.

"Atlas Copco can provide customers with a clear pathway to compliancy, offering an unrivalled range of next-generation compressors, generators, pumps and light-towers that will offer better performance and value than ever before."

The new e-guide The route to Stage V compliance and beyond is now available to download.
