From top to bottom, the range is designed to make life easier for you. It comes with 600, 1,000 & 2,000 litre fuel tanks so you need to refuel less often. 1,000 hour service intervals mean you need to make fewer visits to site. New LCD control panels with optional remote communications make day to day operations simpler. Three enclosure design options mean you only fit the enclosure you really need. And our extensive dealer network will ensure your generator set is always in great shape to do the job it was designed to do.

  • Fortune 50 (F50): While There Is a Large Amount of Innovation Going
    Fortune 50 (F50): While there is a large amount of innovation going on in start- ups, Fortune 500 (F500) companies which are all about scale and results, are still responsible for a large part of the impactful innovation driving the economy, if not directly from their internal powerhouse, through acquisitions of start-ups that can provide them with the innovation format and content they need. In many company lists published in the media (Fortune 2018 Business by design List, Fortune 10 Most Successful Companies, Fortune 10 Most Profitable Companies, BCG Most Innovative Companies), the large majority of companies been cited are still large companies, independently if they are F500 or not. Some have stated the F500 is a very US centric list of corporations that does not express reality of design executive presence in large corporations throughout the world (e.g.: Italy, Germany, Japan, France, UK, etc.) where designers might have executive roles. There are two explanations for this decision, one is based on recent research that clearly states that ‘the United States is still considered the world’s number 1 economy and has been so since 1871 (Investopedia, 2017). Though this might be disputed because China has been gaining the U.S for a number of years, if one looks at nominal GDP, the U.S. maintains its leadership, followed by China and Japan. According to research on this topic, ‘large U.S. corporations also play a major role on the global stage, with more than a fifth of companies on the Fortune Global 500 coming from the United States’ (Focus Economics, 2018).
