JCB India unveils CEV Stage 5 ready machines at Bharat Construction Equipment Expo

JCB India launched its new range of CEV Stage 5 ready machines at the Bharat Construction Equipment Expo, aligning with the latest government regulations on emissions and safety. The machines, designed for improved fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact, include backhoe loaders, telehandlers, skid steer loaders, compactors, and wheeled loaders.

The machines offer a 10-15% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the earlier CEV Stage 4 models. They are equipped with advanced technologies such as Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for emission control. JCB highlighted that the engines incorporate a robust fuel filtration system and extended filter replacement intervals, ensuring maximum uptime and operational efficiency.

Deepak Shetty, CEO and Managing Director of JCB India, emphasized the company's commitment to sustainability and customer-focused innovations. He noted that the new range is designed to meet both environmental standards and customer needs, such as reduced operating costs and improved performance.

The machines have undergone rigorous testing, including 200,000 hours of real-world use and over 70,000 hours of development trials. Tested in extreme conditions, including altitudes of 4,500 meters in regions like Leh and Ladakh, they are built to ensure reliability in challenging environments.

JCB India also showcased a hydrogen-powered backhoe loader prototype, part of the company’s global hydrogen program. Since 2021, JCB has been developing hydrogen-based solutions to reduce emissions in the construction sector, traditionally reliant on diesel.

To cater to the growing demand for cost-efficient solutions, JCB India announced a partnership with Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) to facilitate the sale of pre-owned certified JCB machines. The collaboration aims to provide contractors with access to reliable equipment, supporting the country’s infrastructure growth while maintaining affordability.

JCB India’s participation at the Expo underscores its focus on innovation and adherence to government standards, showcasing its readiness to meet evolving industry demands with sustainable and efficient solutions.
