As the demand for reliable and efficient power solutions continues to grow across industries worldwide, generator set (genset) engines remain at the heart of modern energy infrastructure. In 2025, discerning buyers and project managers will pay close attention not only to the power rating and configuration of a generator set, but also to the engine brand behind it. Choosing a reliable and appropriate engine will ensure optimal performance, durability, fuel efficiency and ease of maintenance.
Below are some of the top generator set engine brands to watch in 2025 (including recommended applications for these brands for reference) and how AGG maintains its strong partnerships with these manufacturers to maintain stable relationships and deliver world-class power solutions.
