The bio-concept at ETESIA

Nowadays environmental preoccupations are at the heart of the day-to-day problems of local authorities and administrations. ETESIA has decided to develop new machines that are capable of meeting their requirements.

ETESIA is an ecologically-responsible company

Since its origins, ETESIA has produced its machines in accordance with the standards of ecological design (reduction of energy consumption during manufacture, the use and recycling of equipment, etc.). In this context, the development of equipment using biofuels and biolubricants is a logical and significant step.

Bio-compatibility today

All of the h144, h124D and h100D models are already usable with biodiesel B30 (30% of biomass ester and 70% of gasoil) with no change to the engine and with all of the manufacturer's guarantees intact.

From the end of 2007, all of the Etesia diesel models, namely the h144, h124D and h100D, can be ordered in the 100% bio version. These ETESIA "bio" ride-on mowers will then be using biodegradable oil (for both engine and transmission), as well as biodegradable greases and will operate with B30biodiesel. On the other hand, oil changes must be performed every 125 hours. Nevertheless, the performance of the hydro 144M, 124D and 100D will remain unchanged.

The price for the "biofuel" option is £316 (excl. VAT), list price at 01/09/07. This option is possible only on the ETESIA assembly line.
