HIMOINSA has obtained the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the HGY Series generators, following a life cycle assessment of the product. This milestone provides quantified, structured environmental information based on internationally recognised criteria.

An EPD is a Type III environmental declaration, in accordance with ISO 14025, which transparently communicates a product’s environmental performance throughout its life cycle. It is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and presents quantified indicators under defined calculation rules, providing objective data on the product’s impact.

The EPD document is now available and provides detailed information on the generator’s environmental impact across all life cycle stages, from component manufacturing, inbound transport, assembly, testing, distribution, the use phase, and final disposal. It also incorporates specific operating scenarios, such as 4,000 hours per year over 15 years, parameters specific to the generator set.

The publication of the EPD allows the environmental variable to be incorporated into the technical documentation, providing customers and engineering firms with structured data to evaluate the product from a more comprehensive perspective, particularly in high-power projects where reliability, performance and environmental criteria form part of the decision-making process.

Sustainability integrated into the industrial process

The analysis also reflects HIMOINSA’s industrial approach to sustainability. The assessment models key components such as the engine, alternator, radiator and battery; considers supplier transport data; and includes manufacturing waste, maintenance scenarios and end-of-life criteria for materials such as steel, copper, aluminium and plastics.

With this Environmental Product Declaration, HIMOINSA is advancing the environmental traceability of its Power Solutions, providing the market with measurable and useful information on the impact of its equipment throughout its entire life cycle. This initiative forms part of the company’s commitment to sustainability, engineering and continuous improvement, integrating environmental criteria into the development of robust, reliable solutions designed to meet the demands of the most challenging international projects.
