Domel is ready for the new ECO Standard – and beyond

13. 04. 2026 | Romana Dolenc


A new generation of ECO standards

As European regulations evolve from energy efficiency to comprehensive sustainability (ESPR), Domel is setting new benchmarks in electric motor development.

Our motors are engineered with a clear objective:
maximum efficiency with minimal environmental impact across the entire lifecycle.

This is achieved through optimised energy performance, reduced material and energy consumption, a lower carbon footprint, and advanced design for extended service life.

Redefining the “ECO” approach

The new generation of eco criteria extends beyond conventional energy labels to encompass a broader sustainability framework, including:

  • high energy efficiency,
  • optimised material use,
  • low noise emissions,
  • extended product lifetime,
  • reduced lifecycle CO₂ emissions,
  • the highest reliability,
  • recyclability.

These are no longer differentiators—they are becoming the industry standard.
