Please tell us about the latest trends in gensets and how Kohler’s product offering is supporting sustainability, as there is an increasing trend towards emission requirements and other regulations? Data centre gensets are in great demand, as people are increasingly conscious of speed and cost. Megatrends like public cloud and 5G adoption will continue to drive the uptake of data services.
Modular designs are gaining popularity. Modularisation and offsite manufacturing facilitate customisation. They streamline new build processes, reduce carbon footprints, and lowers costs. Rapid market growth and changes including edge, colocation and hyperscale are increasing. Kohler has a track record of developing diesel generators that meet the latest environmental regulations. Firstly, Kohler believes in going beyond emissions on paper. And secondly, our efforts with new technologies involving hydrogen or alternative technologies is all about deploying the right technology mix. Our generators are all customised to requirements, including those pertaining to emission and temperature requirements as well as other parameters. Kohler’s commitment to the industry is demonstrated by keeping abreast of incoming regulations, including Stage V requirements and ongoing investment into research and development. For instance, Kohler has introduced a wide range of rental generators to meet the Stage V requirements, including the 20 to 550 kVA power ratings with the Kohler engines for the lower power demand generator sets from 20 to 50 kVA.
