A further forty 40 kW Mahindra Powerol generators have been supplied from the Brakpan works in 2024, to match the 68 units already in service. The proven reliability of these powerful machines under South African conditions has overcome some of unique challenges impacting telecommunications services in remote areas.
Neal Palmer, Managing Director of Mahindra Powerol South Africa, elaborated on the decision: “In India, our OEM is a major supplier to the telecom industry. Given India’s own power generation issues, Mahindra Powerol has spent two decades developing purpose-designed equipment that complies with stringent local emission standards. This, along with the high fuel economy requirements, played a pivotal role in us meeting the specifications of the local tender.”
Mahindra Powerol’s extensive research centre in India, staffed with over 2,000 engineers, is dedicated to designing and manufacturing powerful engines capable of swiftly adapting to load changes. Significant research and on-going development has resulted in a rugged machine, able to reliably function under the climatic extremes found in Africa/Middle East/Asia/ where temperatures can range from -10⁰C to 55⁰C.
Neal Palmer added, “We are excited to offer this cutting-edge technology through our local South African network of dealerships, and we look forward to contributing to the uninterrupted supply of telecommunications services in our country.” This order marks a significant step towards enhancing the reliability of telecommunications infrastructure in South Africa.
