We will talk about it later on. In the meantime, here are the comments of the protagonists. Christian Piazzalunga, Sales operation at Sices, the system integrator specialized in the design and production of electrical panels and control systems, says: «The new solutions are the result of a careful analysis of the main criticalities related to this type of equipment in terms of hours of operation, lack of supervision, noise and lack of prior knowledge of the load to be supplied». According to Alessandro Zilli, Power Generation Marketing Manager at Fpt Industrial: «With only 8.7 litres but capable of generating as much as 300 kVA, the engine develops one of the best specific powers on the market, with clear benefits in terms of installation inside the canopy and the overall footprint of the genset installation, as well as low weight, for the benefit of portability, a key requirement indeed for a genset».

We will have the opportunity to talk about it.
