On Thursday 8th May, Dave presented CESAR ECV (Emissions Compliance Verification) – the emissions-compliance labelling scheme that sits alongside the established CESAR security triangle – as a trusted system for identifying and managing cleaner construction equipment.   *His appearance at the event marked a significant moment for the Scheme, which continues to attract international attention for its practical role in supporting air quality goals. CESAR ECV is already widely used in the UK and has been backed by government, major contractors and clients as a reliable way to demonstrate compliance with emissions standards for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM).*   The timing was particularly relevant. Although there are currently no national emissions regulations for NRMM in Peru, the local authorities of Lima and Callao are developing a dedicated work plan to address this challenge. The *Plan de Acción para el Mejoramiento de la Calidad de Aire de Lima y Callao 2021–2025*, approved by Ministerial Resolution No. 142-2021-MINAM, includes three specific measures targeting construction machinery emissions – from quantification to emissions control – as part of broader efforts to improve urban air quality.   CALAC+, backed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is active in four major cities – Lima, Santiago, Mexico City and Bogotá – and supports climate and clean air measures in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those relating to health, clean energy, sustainable cities and climate action.   Dave’s invitation to speak highlighted the increasing relevance of CESAR ECV beyond UK borders and underlined the CEA’s ongoing role in promoting effective, transferable solutions to global emissions and air quality challenges.   ***Dave Luscombe said:*** * “I was delighted and honoured to have been invited to the Clean Air technical forum here in Lima. **This excellent and well-organised event has brought together academics and Government officials from across South and Central America, and it has been a privilege to have been invited to address the conference. * *The event has showcased the determination of the Latin American countries to tackle their air quality challenges.”*   ***Viki Bell, CEO of the CEA (Construction Equipment Association), commented:*** *“It was fantastic to see CESAR ECV showcased on the international stage, especially in a region actively shaping its future approach to air quality. The interest from CALAC+ and the cities involved shows that what we've developed in the UK has real global relevance. We're proud to be part of the conversation and to support efforts to improve public health and cut emissions worldwide.*   *We thank CALAC+ for the opportunity to present CESAR ECV to such an influential international audience and congratulate Dave on a successful contribution to the conference.”* *![Dave_Luscombe_CALAC+_Team](https://thecea.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Dave_Luscombe_CALAC+_Team.jpg?width=1243&height=689&name=Dave_Luscombe_CALAC+_Team.jpg)*         Share: [facebook-f icon ](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cesar-ecv-presented-in-peru-as-lima-drafts-landmark-plan-to-cut-construction-machinery-emissions) [linkedin-in icon ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cesar-ecv-presented-in-peru-as-lima-drafts-landmark-plan-to-cut-construction-machinery-emissions) [twitter icon ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cesar-ecv-presented-in-peru-as-lima-drafts-landmark-plan-to-cut-construction-machinery-emissions) ## Related posts [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Picture1-1.png) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/peter-haddock-talks-exclusively-to-cea-director-of-operations-viki-bell-about-the-launch-of-the-cea-manifesto) [Influence](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/tag/influence) #### [Peter Haddock talks exclusively to CEA Director of Operations Viki Bell about the launch of the CEA Manifesto](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/peter-haddock-talks-exclusively-to-cea-director-of-operations-viki-bell-about-the-launch-of-the-cea-manifesto) [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/CESAR_Police.jpg) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/funding-helps-lead-to-the-recovery-of-stolen-plant-and-equipment) [CESAR](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/tag/cesar) #### [Funding helps lead to the recovery of stolen plant and equipment](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/funding-helps-lead-to-the-recovery-of-stolen-plant-and-equipment) [![](https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Board_017_S%20(1).jpg) ](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/comments-from-ceas-director-of-operations-viki-bell-on-labours-election-victory) [Influence](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/tag/influence) #### [Comments from CEA’s Director of Operations, Viki Bell, on Labour’s election victory](https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/comments-from-ceas-director-of-operations-viki-bell-on-labours-election-victory) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Louise Carney", "url" : "https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/author/louise-carney" }, "dateModified" : "2025-05-09T10:18:05.776Z", "datePublished" : "2025-05-09T10:18:05.000Z", "headline" : "CESAR ECV presented in Peru as Lima drafts landmark plan to cut construction machinery emissions", "image" : [ "https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Dave_Luscombe_CALAC+_Team.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://thecea.org.uk/cea-news/cesar-ecv-presented-in-peru-as-lima-drafts-landmark-plan-to-cut-construction-machinery-emissions", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://thecea.org.uk/hubfs/Logos/CEA_Master_Roundel+Title_TwoCol.png" }, "name" : "Construction Equipment Association" } } ```
