Reduce Fuel
Your number 1 cost reduction opportunity.
Accounting for approximately one-third of your Total Cost of Ownership, your fuel consumption represents possibly your best cost reduction opportunity. As fuel prices become less predictable – and emissions reporting becomes more important – REDUCE Fuel provides you with clear, reliable data on the expected energy consumption and CO2 emissions of your machine.
Measurement methodology
The MANITOU Group became the first material handling equipment manufacturer to publish fuel consumption data, obtained from field tests based on UTAC-approved standards EP-695 and EP-1519. The protocol EP-695 now serves as the cornerstone for the European standard EN16796-4 (only for telescopic machines).
Our fuel calculator estimates your duty cycles based on our real-life measurements. If you compare machines from different manufacturers, ensure that all measurements are based on the EN16796-4 standard to enable a valid comparison.
Reducing energy use and emissions
Efficient operation can make a significant difference to your TCO, while lower emissions reduce your environmental impact and also improve air quality – especially in cramped worksites.
Our operator training can improve productivity, fuel consumption efficiency and safety, while visual aids and fuel-efficient features are provided on our machines to reduce energy use and emissions.
