9.2 Impacts of retrofitting with particle filters<br />

Figure 52 (left) shows the past <strong>and</strong> future development of PM <strong>emissions</strong> caused by<br />

construction machinery if no machines had been retrofitted with particle filter systems<br />

<strong>and</strong> no further retrofitting were to be carried out, in comparison with the retrofitting<br />

scenario. As we can see, particle <strong>emissions</strong> would be approximately twice as high in<br />

2010 as in the scenario with retrofitted machines.<br />

So far, no major retrofitting of agricultural machines has taken place. However, when<br />

EU stage IIIB enters into effect in 2012, new machines will have to be equipped with<br />

particle filter systems before they leave the factory. This means that, compared with the<br />

situation regarding construction machinery, the introduction of particle filters in the<br />

agricultural sector will commence at a relatively late stage.<br />

Figure 52 (right) shows how the situation with regard to agricultural machinery would<br />

change versus the scenario without retrofitted machines if new machines were to be<br />

equipped with particle filter systems already with effect from 2009. Compared with the<br />

situation in which new machines are only equipped with particle filter systems at a<br />

later date, in 2020 there would be a 17% reduction in PM <strong>emissions</strong> from agricultural<br />

machines. The impact of such a measure restricted to new machines is thus relatively<br />

minor, which can be attributed to the fact that agricultural machines are used over<br />

lengthy periods of time <strong>and</strong> the replacement rate (2600 tractors a year) is correspondingly<br />

low.<br />

In order to more effectively reduce <strong>emissions</strong>, it would be necessary to retrofit a larger<br />

number of older machines, since these have a higher specific level of PM <strong>emissions</strong><br />

that could be reduced with the aid of particle filter systems.<br />

For construction machinery, “with retrofitting” corresponds to the reference scenario.<br />

For agricultural machinery “without retrofitting” reflects the reference scenario.<br />

The “with retrofitting” scenario corresponds to a premature introduction (in 2009) of a<br />

retrofitting obligation for new machines.<br />
