non-road mobile machinery

Then there is the question of the quality of fuel used in non-road mobile machinery.

Some amendments concern the need to improve and harmonise the quality of fuel used in non-road mobile machinery throughout the Community.

It is a mistake, however, to extend this to non-road mobile machinery, for example, tractors and construction equipment.

Secondly, by lowering sulphur levels for non-road mobile machinery, which will result in a price increase of 8 to 10% per litre.

It is very good indeed that we should include fuels for non-road mobile machinery and treat the latter in the same way as all other vehicles.

With regard to non-road mobile machinery, we must draw our conclusions from experience gathered from cleaning engines in lorries.

The directives relate to emissions from agricultural tractors and from the engines of non-road mobile machinery.

In my opinion, this measure comes under the Non-Road Mobile Machinery Directive.

First of all, by extending the fuel quality standards applying to all road vehicles to non-road mobile machinery (farm and forestry tractors in particular).

We believe this measure comes under the NRMM (non-road mobile machinery) Directive.

Following the adoption of the EU rules on the operation of road vehicles, there has been a gap in legislation hitherto on non-road mobile machinery.

It aims to achieve a substantial reduction in atmospheric pollution caused by pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery.

First of all, it extends to non-road mobile machinery (namely, agricultural and forestry tractors) the quality standards for fuels which are applicable to all road vehicles.

The legislation aims to reduce gaseous pollutants emitted by combustion engines, especially nitrogen oxides and particulates, and deter non-road mobile machinery.

The final compromise reached following the trialogues has resulted in a first-reading agreement for a 40% exemption for tractors and a 37.5% exemption for non-road mobile machinery.

FEM is thus monitoring regulatory developments in several areas such as exhaust emissions of non-road mobile machinery, machinery, noise of equipment used outdoor, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, market surveillance...

The new fuel ought to be brought in for non-road mobile machinery as well. It should, however, be introduced more gradually in this case, for the same reasons as I outlined in relation to cars.

Our consultations on proposals to implement the RED and FQD revealed a number of concerns regarding expansion of the RTFO to include fuels use in non-road mobile machinery (NRMM).

In order to avoid ending up ruining an agricultural sector that has already been severely blighted, non-road mobile machinery should have been excluded from the scope of application of the directive and we should have kept to the Council's realistic position.

A whole range of non-road mobile machinery – construction equipment, barges and all sorts of niche equipment we have not yet though about – is going to be brought sensibly under control, putting an end to a lot of smelly diesel fume emissions in all sorts of strange places that prompt complaints.
