New generator sets target the needs of rental fleet owners
MANSTON, Kent, England (January 23, 2013) — Cummins Power Generation a global leader in providing innovative solutions for any power need, today announces the launch of four new mobile generator sets specifically designed for rental applications. The launch represents the first new offering to the European local hire market since Cummins redressed its rental vision, products and services to closely align with the specific and ongoing needs of rental fleet owners. Ranging from 150-300 kVA, the new models benefit from robust engineering and include the highly reliable Cummins QSL9 and QSB7 diesel engines to offer tough, dependable power to rental fleet owners. Supplied as pre-integrated systems, these versatile new models are ideally suited for construction, industrial and events applications.
