Max Motors has earlier worked in the distributed energy segment for several years as a supplier of diesel-fueled generator sets. The company has also worked with another GE business division, GE Consumer & Industrial, to provide customers with low voltage protection and control solutions as well as uninterrupted power supply systems for infrastructure, building and industry needs.
GE’s Jenbacher gas engine business division and Max Motors have previously worked together to provide a Jenbacher cogeneration system for a commercial greenhouse in the Russian region of Krasnodar.
GE is supplying gas engines totaling 5MW that will operate in island-mode to provide lighting and heat for the facility. The new system is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2008.
Prady Iyyanki, CEO of GE’s Jenbacher gas engine business division, said: Our new distribution agreement with Max Motors will bolster our ability to meet the growing demand for decentralized energy and district heating technology in Russia, particularly in various industrial sectors.
