Moteurs Baudouin, PSI announce distribution, service agreement

France’s Moteurs Baudouin and USA-based Power Solutions International (PSI), have signed an international distribution and service agreement.

Under the agreement, Baudouin will expand its product range by offering the PSI rich burn gas engine range to the European, Middle Eastern and African markets. The partnership augments Baudouin’s PowerKit diesel and lean burn gas product lines, as it means the company can deliver across the full spectrum of power solutions and provides even more choice for Baudouin’s clients around the globe, the company said.

Founded in France more than a century ago, Baudouin offers diesel and gas engines for marine and power generation applications. With their headquarters in Cassis, France, and additional manufacturing based in Weifang, China, Pune, India and Tutayev, Russia, product sales and servicing are available in more than 130 countries, across six continents.

PSI, based near Chicago, Illinois, USA, is a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacture of a broad range of advanced, emission-certified engines and power systems. The company’s in-house design, prototyping, engineering and testing capacities allow PSI to customize clean, high-performance engines to run on a wide variety of fuels, including natural gas, propane, gasoline, diesel and biofuels.

Both brands are part of the Weichai Group, a diverse international conglomerate that owns powertrain, vehicle, marine, construction machinery, intelligent logistics, fuel cells, agricultural machinery, control systems, and other business segments. Weichai has operations in 55 countries with 500 authorized service centers worldwide, which brings an expanded global business footprint to the Baudouin and PSI partnership.
