Final report
Publication metadata
The study assesses the technical readiness of narrow track and high clearance tractors (T2, C2 and T4.1) to meet the European Commission’s pollutant emission Stage IV for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) engines. Directive 2003/37/EC specifies the criteria for the T2, C2 and T4.1 vehicle categories, which are designed for operation in extremely restricted spaces, for example in orchards or on fruit and vine crops. The project comprised a desk based study and involved close cooperation with pertinent stakeholders, including visits to an engine manufacturer, a tractor manufacturer, an agricultural show and observations of rigid and articulated tractors in action between narrow rows on hillside vineyards. A stakeholder meeting was held in Brussels, followed by further telephone conferences to clarify information raised. An in-depth analysis of the current and forthcoming emission legislation was performed and a stocktake of the industry structure and design choices made and being made for preceding emission Stages.
