CECE’s High-Level Groups continue to explore the CO2 reduction potential and discuss digitalisation in construction
The CECE High-Level Group on CO2 met on 13th September to discuss the ongoing activities on greenhouse gas emissions that could affect the construction equipment sector. The group discussed also the recently published report from the European Rental Association ERA on carbon footprint of construction equipment and the ongoing agricultural EKO-Tech project, including an overview of benefits of digitalisation for the reduction of emissions.
The group welcomed Philip Mortensen from the Climate Agency in the City of Oslo, who presented an overview of the actions in progress within the city to reduce emissions and how construction equipment is considered.
On the following day the CECE High-Level Technical Policy Advisory Group (HLTPAG), consisting of CTO's of member companies, met to discuss CECE's approach towards digitalisation to better understand sector's dynamics and evolution, addressing the changes triggered by new digital technologies.
The group welcomed McKinsey & Company to give a presentation of their new study on electrification of construction machinery. Marie Poidevin of EVOLIS in her role of CECE Technical Commission's Vice-Chair presented the regulatory update.
The groups will meet again on 27th and 28th February 2020.
