  Singapore is said to be one of the catalysts in green construction. 80% of the city's infrastructure is currently using ecological systems and processes. In a few years, the overall outlook of the nation's building and construction industry is expected to go all green.
  
  With this prediction, it is also expected that the machines, tools and plans set to produce eco-friendly solutions should also be eco-friendly. Problem is, most machinery nowadays is far from that outlook.
  
  Heavy equipment continues to contribute to pollution using dangerous diesel to work. A single bulldozer can emit pollutants equivalent to the particulate matter emission of 50 cars. Noise pollution is also one of the main problems in operating these big and heavy trucks.
  
  Since its expansion to Jakarta, Indonesia, Axis Capital Group has attended some seminars and also headed a few in Singapore discussing the possibility of using a more proficient system, fuel method and operations of heavy equipment. Axis, being able to sell and rent capital equipment branded with John Deere, Mitsubishi, Caterpillar and Hyundai among others has the opportunity to take part on the reviews created by these big names in heavy equipment manufacturing regarding the integration of more natural materials in their system.
  
  These private companies are also developing a new market of environmentalists, minimizing complaints and advocating a more valuable cause. Warnings of natural destruction have already been taken at heart.
  
  Just recently, Volvo developed green-friendly options for construction companies and contractors. Volvo's going green initiative promotes the use of bio-degradable hydraulic fluids, high-pressure diesel injectors (which cut harmful nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons by 38 percent), optimized air management systems, measures to reduce hydraulic oil spillages, and the reuse of equipment components to conserve resources. As with all trends, other construction equipment companies are sure to follow suit to stay relevant in the market.
  
  Construction equipment manufacturers are stepping up and pioneering some of the latest in energy-saving technology.
  
  Japan's top construction equipment makers, Hitachi and Kobelco, both have working excavator prototypes that feature hybrid-drive systems.
  
  The government is also taking actions on a safer and healthier approach in heavy equipment use and its emissions.
  
  Building and Construction Authority in Singapore is the one responsible for the growth and development of the nation's green industry.
  
  America also has their own authority in implementing eco-friendly approaches in heavy equipment. The US EPA has developed the Clean Construction USA program in order to reduce the impact of non-road diesel engines, fine particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. The program has set new emission standards for new construction equipment engines.
