Perkins expands power generation powertrain lineup

Perkins announced an addition to its EU Stage V-compliant powertrain range with the 2806J-E18TAG1 ElectropaK. Perkins' new engine is an 18-liter unit intended for the electric power generation industry. The 2806J achieves ISO 8528-5 G2 status and reportedly provides excellent load acceptance in a wide range of electric power applications from a stationary prime source of power to a mobile unit serving the rental sector.

“Reliable electric power is not an option, it's a fundamental need to keep operations running, whether that's for standby when the main power fails or to meet onsite prime power requirements,” said Jaz Gill, VP of global sales, marketing, service and parts. “Our engines are engineered and expertly crafted to provide reliable, stable and sustainable power for our customers, with the new 2806J being the latest in a long line of products that also deliver a low total cost of ownership.”
