5 reasons why companies are shifting preference to gas engines

Performance efficiency and low operational costs are some of the pivotal reasons why one should think of buying efficient and high-performance engines. Fuel efficiency and overall costs incurred follow thereon. With high-performance engines in demand, Indian manufacturing companies such as Cooper Corporation have made their name in the international manufacturing segment. Cooper is a well-known manufacturer of gas engine and diesel engine in the range between 9 hp engines and 15 hp engines till the range of up to 400 hp engines. These engines see their applications for a wide range of purposes and applications ranging from agricultural use, marine applications, defence, the making of generators, and automobile and automotive purposes.

While diesel engines have long been preferred by Indian companies and Original Engine Manufacturers, the recent trend suggests the growth in gas engines' consumption. Probably it is more for environmental reasons as each one of us are committed to mitigate the ill-effects caused to the environment and overall well-being of people concerned. We list down a host of reasons why one can opt for a gas engine instead of a diesel engine.

-Environment-friendly engines-While engines have to define performance efficiency and comply with the regulatory compliance of the laws across the world.

-A host of purposes and applications- As one of the renowned manufacturers of engines, Cooper engines are known to be cost-effective and cater to different sectors like industrial, gensets, marine, agricultural, and infrastructure.

-Dynamic models high-performance engines: Like a Diesel engine, some of the gas engine manufacturing companies have developed high-performance gas engines on the platform of efficiency and fine technology. “Engine designing is a long-drawn process that can take upto 3 years for designing, tooling, proving and making them compatible with the emission norms,” says Cooper Corporation

-Compliance with environmental regulations- Gas engines are built from scratch to comply with the various countries' regulatory norms.

-Complete range of engines- Cooper gas engines are available in a full range of capacity varying from 400 hp engines to 1000 hp engines, while the mid-range segment varies from 9hp engines including the range of 15 hp engines to about 250 hp. Likewise, the sub 1L multipurpose engines are available in the range of 428cc-860 cc range.

While all these factors summarise why switching from diesel engine to gas engine has seen a rise during the past couple of years, the utility value of the gas engines are in tandem with the diesel variants.  

Cooper Corporation is a world leader in the design, manufacturing and supply of engines in both diesel and gas variants to countries across the globe. They are used for a wide range of purposes and applications including agriculture, marine, generators. So, while the basic engine remains the same for different purposes, it is the packaging and the look that differs as per the utilization. To this end, the sub 1L multipurpose engine variant in the range of 428cc-860cc has been developed for the export market especially to the US for marine, agricultural, genset and automotive applications.

Regulatory Compliances to the rules and legislation across the world

Engine export and supply regulations are stringent across the globe. In light of the prevailing regulations, compliances to the regulations are a must. Whether it is the CPCB norms, Bharat IV, Euro IV or US EPA regulations, Cooper engines comply with all the regulatory standards stipulated across the globe. With exports of a wide range of engine variants in from 9 hp engines to 15 hp engines in the mid-segment engine category as well as the 400 hp engines to 1000 hp engines in the large engine segment, Cooper undoubtedly has carved a niche for itself among the engine manufacturing companies. Coupled with good ethics and compliance to the regulatory norms, makes exports a cinch. For a company like Cooper Corporation, whose priority has always been to develop engines that comply with the regulatory compliances and legislations.
