A 100% electric platform is premiered as part of the new &#8220;Oxygen&#8221; label, which is devoted to alternative energies. It reinforces the group&#8217;s committed CSR policy, offering efficient, sustainable solutions to its users.<\/p>\n<p>The Manitou group presents an innovative booth at Bauma, with a strong focus on alternative energies. A corner of the booth entirely devoted<br \/>\nto the&#8221;Oxygen&#8221; label illustrates the group&#8217;s global thinking in this field, and highlights its capacity for innovation to meet tomorrow&#8217;s material handling needs using green energy. The new initiative consists of three levels:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Oxygen: all the low-carbon solutions intended for the market.<\/li>\n<li>Oxygen Lab: all the low-carbon prototypes and solutions in the process of being tested\/evaluated.<\/li>\n<li>Oxygen Concept: range of concept trucks and future trends towards which the group will direct its low-carbon solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This strengthened ambition confirms Manitou group&#8217;s interest in offering users ever more sustainable solutions, while maintaining a level of performance and cost-efficiency that are in line with users&#8217; expectations. The group also provides an offering that conforms with<br \/>\nnew fossil fuel standards and regulations, particularly in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Arnaud Sochas, Innovation Manager for Manitou group, explains the approach: &#8220;Players in the construction market (rental companies and manufacturers) are faced with an increasing demand for flexible, low-carbon solutions, especially for urban work sites. In this context, it has become essential to focus on the requirements of zero emissions and low noise levels on extended work areas. With the Oxygen label, the Manitou group wants to provide a concrete response to these needs. Our approach obviously includes electric machines, but our primary aim is to provide a proportional solution tailored to each application. These solutions must be cost-effective for the user, and we are working on reducing their total cost of ownership while at the same time reducing their environmental impact&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Manitou group has established a list of mandatory eligibility criteria for the Oxygen label:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Use of an alternative energy to diesel, which can be used on a continual or temporary basis in zero emission mode<\/li>\n<li>Reduction of environmental impact (emissions: C02, particulates, decibels)<\/li>\n<li>Reduction in energy consumption (based on the standard UTAC cycle: handling, loading, road and idle)<\/li>\n<li>Reduction of TCO (a common criterion for all Manitou solutions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To read more about the &#8220;Oxygen&#8221; range please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.datapressepremium.com\/rmdiff\/2008070\/190408_PressRelease_BAUMA19_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here to download the Press Release<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Manitou group, a world leader in rough-terrain handling, presents a wide range of connected, sustainable solutions dedicated to construction <\/p>\n<a class=\"btn-sub-green l-blog-post-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/2019\/04\/handling-solutions-for-today-and-tomorrow\/\" title=\"Read more\">Read more<\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2165,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plant-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2164"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2166,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164\/revisions\/2166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.constructionplantworld.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
