One of the exhibition highlights was the added confidence placed on Perkins-powered gensets for both prime and standby applications by customers. This is because of the visibility and recognition given to authorized Perkins Distributor OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) through 'Certificate of Authenticity' that gives assurance to end-users in the genuineness of the Perkins engines they are buying. This also gives the OEM an assurance of product support to their end-users wherever their Perkins engines are operating.

Power Systems Gulf engine sales package offers applications support, training, Extended Service Contracts, OEM Dealer agreements and more importantly, stability in the long term, to do business with a trusted Perkins partner upholding its values of honesty and integrity.

Another noticeable point during the exhibition was the absence of serious complaints on product support issues from territories. This is a testimony to the fact that the new regional business model implemented is improving the support levels for Perkins products in the region.

Designed to meet key market nodes, the 1600 Series ElectropaK engine fills the gap between the company’s current 1300 and 2000 Series ranges. It comprises a range of full authority electronic control, turbocharged, air-to-air charge-cooled engines that have been developed to provide prime and standby power in a clean and cost-effective fashion with special emphasis placed on improved power density, reliability and robustness. The six-cylinder, 9.3 litre range offers outputs up to 300- kVA (240 kWe) prime power and 330 kVA (264 kWe) standby power at 1500 rpm, both key nodes.
