What are the current trends in the genset market lor construction and mining projects?

The genset market for construction and mining is shifting toward sustainable, fuel-efficient solutions, driven by stringent environmental regulations. The growing adoption of IOT-enabled gensets is a key trend, as these systems not only meet new regulatory standards but also provide real-time data to optimize uptime and performance. Additionally, innovations in alternative fuels and advanced engine designs are reshaping the market, as projects seek more efficient, lower-emission power solutions.

Another key driver is the increasing demand for High Horsepower (HHP) gensets, which are essential for larger, more complex projects that require robust and reliable power sources. Advancements in alternative fuels like CNG, biodiesel, and ethanol blends, combined with cutting-edge engine designs, are helping to reduce emissions and support global sustain-ability goals.

The growth of the market is further fuelled by the need for uninterrupted power in remote locations, rising infrastructure development, and the industry's focus on sustainable, reliable energy solutions that minimize operational downtime.

How has the demand lor gensets evolved in the past few years?
