SUMMARY: Gen-set sales in Q2 2019 rose 4.3% from Q1 2019, due to increases in commercial demand and demand for standbys that are typical for Q2 as construction season and hurricane season begin. Broken out by kW range, sales increases were on the lower end of normal in the 51-100kW and 101-300kW ranges, but overall sales were still driven by typical growth in the 101kW-1MW ranges, typical of the construction season.
Global truck production picked up in Q2 2019, according to the proprietary Truck Production Index (TPI) produced by Power Systems Research. YoY numbers were flat, however. The report is contained in the July issue of PowerTALK, the monthly newsletter produced by Power Systems Research.
