Potain, part of the Manitowoc Crane Group, is supplying five new-generation tower cranes for an eco-district development in southern France. The deployment underscores growing demand for crane rental services on sustainable construction projects, where contractors increasingly specify low-emission equipment and seek suppliers with environmental credentials. Potain has expanded its range of electric and hybrid tower cranes in recent years to address tightening emissions regulations on European construction sites. The project involves residential and mixed-use buildings designed to meet stringent energy-efficiency standards, though specific crane models and project timelines were not disclosed.
