Finally, JCB revealed its strategy to meet upcoming Stage V regulations. The deadlines for the introduction of Stage V are basically two.
The first is January 1, 2019, when the new standards will start being applied to engines below 56 and above 130 kilowatts. The second term is exactly one year later, January 1, 2020, and will regulate engines in the 56-129kW range.
This, in the case of JCB, means that most of the engine range will be involved from January 1, 2020 (the 4.8 liters stops at 129 kilowatts). Nevertheless, Jcb Stage V is already a reality. This is a crucial step for someone who has invested so much in taking a competitive advantage in the transition to Stage IIIB without the use of the particulate filter. But this may also be an advantage, from another perspective. Alan Tolley, JCB's Group Director of Engines commented on the final result.
"JCB engines have low emission, high-efficiency combustion systems developed for Stage IIIB and Tier 4. This means that we started development for Stage V from a good position".
