Diesel Generators – Stage V
In January 2017, Directive 97/68/EC was repealed and superseded by Regulation (EU) No 2016/1628, which establishes emission limits for gaseous and particulate pollutants (known as Stage V) for engines of Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM), as well as administrative and technical requirements relating to type approval. This regulation will affect products marketed from 1 January 2019.
Stage V Generators emit the lowest levels of pollution and particulate possible, so are significant in reducing emissions to meet climate targets, and also to improve the health of anyone working on site. However, Stage 5 generators are not without their problems and advice should be taken prior to deployment.
Running a Stage V diesel generator at or close to idle for an extended period can cause engine overheating, fuel dilution, clogged DPF, and increased exhaust emissions so great care needs to be taken when sizing a Stage V Generator for an intended task.
Midas are proficient in task assessments and will happily work with you to avoid any ongoing issues.
The Midas fleet of Stage V machines is growing steadily with generator sizes of 20kVA, 45kVA, 60kVA, 100kVA and 150kVA on fleet and are available for immediate hire.
Stage V Diesel Generator related FAQ's:
No, Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) applies to a wide range of traditional mobile equipment in construction, such as mobile generators – including wheeled trailers and models that are designed to be moved to different work locations, such as those commonly used by equipment rental companies.
However, you can still purchase non-compliant machines if they're for a Standby application i.e. not to be moved from location to location.
Yes, all stage V diesel generator engines above 60kVA in power output will require AdBlue. The generators have an onboard AdBlue tank but you can also plumb them directly to a larger, remote AdBlue tank in a similar way to a remote fuel tank which will increase the time between refills.
Generators in the size bracket of above 19kW and below 560kW are affected by Stage V regulations.
