In today’s construction world, performance isn’t the only priority — efficiency and environmental responsibility matter just as much. That’s why TYPHON Machinery integrates EPA-certified diesel engines into our powerful compact machines.
23% of the world's CO2 emissions come from the building sector, but what if being green improved your business line? You may reduce your carbon "bootprint" and save thousands of dollars in fuel and penalties by using Typhon's EPA-certified diesel engines. Here are some ways that astute contractors are making money out of eco-compliance.
The Dirty Truth: The Significance of Diesel Emissions
Diesel equipment that isn't in compliance has three risks:
- Environmental: 8.5 pounds of CO2 (the equivalent of 50 miles of driving) are produced during one hour of operation.
- Regulatory: EPA Tier 4 violations can result in fines of up to $45,268 per day.
- Economic: Fuel consumption by inefficient engines increases by 15% to 20%.
All three are addressed by Typhon's EPA Tier 4 Final-certified engines, which transform legal compliance into a competitive advantage.
The Business Argument: Five Methods "Green" Equipment Has a Positive Effect
1. Efficiency of Fuel: Use 12% less diesel.
2. Preventing Penalties: Continue to adhere to EPA Tier 4 Final
3. Credits for taxes: Be eligible to get IRS 179D deductions.
4. Resale value: Machines that comply with EPA regulations maintain a 25%+ increase in value.
5. Contract Wins: Place bids on government and LEED-mandated eco-mandated projects
Myth: "Green machines lack power."
The truth is that EPA-compliant engines (Kubota V1505: 24.8 HP @ 2,300 rpm) produce the same amount of torque at lower RPMs.
Your Plan of Action: Making the Switch to Sustainable Equipment
1) Examine Your Fleet
Determine if the equipment has engines classified as Tier 0–3 (EPA’s Clean Construction Act targets these).
2) Upgrades Phased In
Give high-hour equipment priority: Every year, replace one machine.
3) Educate Your Group
Instruct operators on idle-reduction techniques, regeneration triggers, and DEF handling.
4) Promote the Green Shift
Bids should include "EPA Tier 4 Fleet." Sustainable contractors are given priority by 68% of project managers.
The Future Is Profitable and Green
Twelve states in the US plan to outlaw non-Tier 4 equipment on public projects by 2027. Your company will be future-proof thanks to Typhon's EPA-certified diesel engines while:
- Each unit cuts 5.2 tons of CO2 annually.
- Fuel savings of $0.38 per operational hour
- Opening up environmental incentives, such as California's CORE voucher
The Green Revolution Will Not Happen. It's Here:
Rules are getting stricter. Customers want sustainability. The cost of fuel continues to rise. Continuing to use antiquated equipment is not only dangerous but also costly. The EPA-certified engines from Typhon transform compliance from an expense into your greatest edge over competitors:
- Reduce emissions by 90%.
- Cut fuel waste by more than $2,100 year.
- Unlock LEED and government initiatives
- Future-proof against prohibitions in 2027
- Being "eco-friendly" isn't the goal here; being profitable is.
With Typhon’s EPA-certified diesel engines, you’re not just investing in a machine — you’re investing in long-term savings, cleaner operations, and greater efficiency. Whether you’re a contractor, landscaper, or landowner, making the switch to Typhon means meeting modern demands without compromise. Go greener. Work smarter. Choose Typhon.
