Stage V
Meeting modern emissions standards with advanced compressor technology
Stage V is the latest European emissions standard for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM), regulating particulate matter (PM), NOx and other pollutants. Any diesel compressor used in many construction, industrial or rental contexts must comply with these limits.
Key features & benefits:
-
Significantly lower emissions: Stage V-certified compressors can reduce harmful emissions (carbon, NOx, particulates) by up to 90 % compared to older non-compliant sets.
-
Advanced after-treatment systems: Integration of DPF (diesel particulate filters), DOC (oxidation catalysts) and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) to clean exhaust.
-
HVO compatibility: Many Stage V units are designed to run on sustainable HVO fuel blends, further cutting carbon impact.
- Regulatory compliance: Ensures usage across regulated sites and construction zones without penalty or delay.
- Future-proof investment: Adopting Stage V-ready equipment today protects you against tightening emissions laws.
In sectors like construction, infrastructure, petrochemical, utilities, renewables, and urban development, Stage V compressors are increasingly the standard. At GenAir, we actively deploy Stage V-capable airsets in our hire fleet — giving you compliance, power and cleaner performance all in one.
