FW Power have certainly seen a surge in demand for new diesel generators over the last 18 months and we’re not alone. The global diesel generator market is projected to reach $40.8 billion by 2030, with the U.S. market alone contributing $6.6 billion. The main drivers include fast growing sectors that require reliable backup power, such as healthcare, data centers, construction, mining, and telecommunications. However, this growth could be limited by factors like stricter emission regulations, competition from renewable energy sources, and high fuel/operational costs.
Whilst used diesel generators are a great cost effective option for customers, we are seeing a growing trend in companies leaning more towards new generators. Why is this? Is this because consumers want to feel supported by the manufacturers warranty or is it the desire for convenience and speed, as it is often believed that new products often come with quick delivery options, free returns, and more reliable product quality compared to used goods. This is a myth that we most definatley need to bust! Yes, the new generators FW Power sell are undoubtably reliable and often have short lead times, the product quality of new vs used is not comparible. A used diesel generator can be a brand new 2024 generator that has ran for 10 hours but now needs to be resold as it is surplus to requirements. FW Power fully inspects, tests, and repairs all of our used diesel generators no matter their condition, hours ran or year of manufacture. When we put our name on something we ensure it is of the highest quality. Our warranty claim rate for used generators is less than 2% which we think is pretty good!
New Diesel Generators are still a great option and that is why we always have a great choice in stock, tested in house and ready to go.
