Innovation Comes to light
The Paris city council adopted the Territorial Air Energy Plan in 2018 to reduce pollution, protect its citizens’ health and fight climate change. Through this plan, Paris hopes to be a carbon neutral city by 2050, and before then expects to be diesel free by 2024 and rid of gasoline engines by 2030. Cognizant of these ambitions, the Mecalac Group (Mecalac) has designed and built machinery to align with the city’s clean air desires, with the Mecalac e12, an innovative, fully electric wheeled excavator, representing the company’s shining jewel in that initiative. Unveiled at the INTERMAT 2018 trade show, the Mecalac e12 earned the event’s Energy Transition Award, which recognizes technological and environmental performance.
