Bringing you clean low-cost

As the demand for cleaner power increases throughout the world, our insight and
experience means we can tailor our engines specifically to meet your needs, now
and in the future. Thats why we have developed a versatile range of gas engines
that meet all the fundamental requirements for your gas-fuelled applications.
Our large engines are designed to provide electrical power generation or combined
heat/cooling and power, whilst our medium engines provide the same clean energy
into forklift trucks, telecommunications towers and smaller generator sets.

power

Running on low-cost, cleaner natural gas - but also robust enough to handle alternative gas
fuels - our large units power electricity and/or heating/cooling systems for leisure centres,
hospitals, manufacturing and more. Your organisation could also benefit from payback; selling
energy back to the grid*, which makes gas-powered generation even more cost-effective.

Working
with you

And because our gas products offer power specifically targeted for baseload power, your
Perkins engine will be ideal for reliable, low-cost and continuous power generation.
