Manitou: Focus on alternative energies and sustainable solutions

The Manitou group presented a wide range of solutions dedicated to construction and mining industry at bauma 2019. A 100% electric platform premiered as part of the new Oxygen label, devoted to alternative energies and more sustainable solutions, while maintaining a level of performance and cost-efficiency. Manitou's eligibility criteria for the Oxygen label includes use of alternative energy to diesel, which can be used on a continual or temporary basis in zero emission mode; reduction of environmental impact (emissions: C02, particulates, decibels); reduction in energy consumption (based on the standard UTAC cycle: handling, loading, road and idle); and reduction of TCO (a common criterion for all Manitou solutions).
