Price Difference Between Domestic and Imported Diesel Generators

When purchasing generator sets, we often encounter brand issues. Generally, they can be divided into three categories according to their origin: pure imported, domestic, and Sino - foreign joint - venture. The editor of Dingbo Power will share with you the main differences in the following aspects:

Domestic generator sets are assembled with domestic parts for both the two major components, the diesel engine and the generator. Generally, domestic original - equipment generator sets refer to those whose first component, the diesel engine, uses imported parts, while the origin of other parts is uncertain. Pure imported generator sets have their parts purchased abroad and are assembled and tested overseas. Therefore, their components are more high - end, stable, and standardized, and the testing is more rigorous.

Is there a significant difference in their performance? The editor has also compiled and explained the price lists of domestic, pure imported, and Sino - foreign joint - venture diesel generators for you. In the following description, a 600kW diesel generator will be used as an example.

1. Price reference for domestic brand 600kW diesel generators

The "XX" brand diesel generator set produced by a certain diesel engine Co., Ltd. can reach 600kW, and its price ranges up to 3.8 million yuan in Shandong region. The diesel engines produced in Shandong region can also fully reach 600kW, with a price of about 4 million yuan.

2. Price reference for foreign 600kW diesel generators

The Perkins diesel generator set from the UK is priced at 8.8 million yuan, and the Mercedes - Benz diesel generator set from Germany is priced at about 8 million yuan.

3. Price reference for Sino - foreign joint - venture 600kW diesel generators

In addition, among the joint - venture brands, the 600kW Cummins diesel generator set is of reliable quality, with a price ranging up to 5.8 million yuan.

Generally speaking, domestic generator sets have an advantage in price. However, domestic machines consume more fuel, which leads to high operating costs and increases the cost of use. This is one of the reasons why experienced users often stop purchasing domestic generator sets above the 200 - kilowatt power range. Since high - power engines are all produced by large foreign manufacturers, for generator sets above 800 kilowatts, there is not much price difference between high - power generator sets produced by domestic manufacturers and pure imported brand generator sets. However, generator sets produced by international large companies are more generous in the selection of components. Moreover, due to their large - scale raw material procurement, their cost is lower. Therefore, pure imported generator sets are more competitive in the high - power range. The market segments are basically clear. Small - power generator sets are targeted at small and medium - sized enterprises. Due to their limited purchasing power, they mostly tend to purchase domestic machines. The market for medium - power generator sets is basically controlled by major domestic enterprises that use imported engines. In addition to occupying a certain market share in the medium - power range, international large companies mainly focus on high - power generator sets.

Therefore, domestic, pure imported, and Sino - foreign joint - venture diesel generators all have their own advantages and disadvantages. The editor suggests that when making a purchase, you should choose the most suitable one according to your budget and the situation of your unit.
