How to Choose a Diesel Generator?

With the growing demand for diesel generators, competition among manufacturers has become increasingly fierce. Some sellers offer quotes for multiple products simultaneously, including those from reputable brands, uncertified products, OEM products, or low-quality ones. When purchasing air compressors, buyers are often shocked by the wide range of screw air compressor prices and feel confused about making a choice. Dingbo Diesel Generator Manufacturer will provide a detailed explanation:

Confusion Caused by Varying Generator Prices

Like most mechanical products, the diesel generator market is highly competitive, and buyers should be in a favorable position. Under normal circumstances, it should be easy to select a generator product with high cost performance. However, in reality, the quotes collected from various manufacturers vary greatly, making it impossible to accurately select a suitable diesel generator set and supplier.

Confusion in Choosing Types of Suppliers

1.Professional and standardized diesel generator manufacturers;

2.Integrated Cummins generator set manufacturers that previously produced other products or Shangchai generators and now also produce Yuchai generators;

3.OEM generator manufacturers that earn meager material price differences by labeling products for others;

4.Authorized agents with sales and service capabilities appointed by professional manufacturers;

5.Distributors selling various types of generators in specific regions;

6.Businesses that need to sell supporting products or have authorized project sales for contracted projects;

7.Sellers that entrust others to produce and label products with their own company's nameplate;

8.Shops that sell generator sets while dealing with other electromechanical products, as well as sellers of the same brand in different regions, etc.

Qualifications of Generator Manufacturers

1.The threshold for diesel generator manufacturing is not low, as it is a subject to national mandatory production license. Manufacturers must have complete hardware and software conditions, and only after passing the review and inspection by national authoritative departments can they obtain a production license and thus gain the qualification for production.

2.After obtaining the production license, diesel generator manufacturing enterprises must accept professional audits by technical supervision departments every year. Those that fail to meet the requirements must suspend production for rectification until they pass the review before resuming production. Each generator product must undergo a full-performance test and pass before leaving the factory for sale, and records must be kept on file.

Reasons for Price Differences Between Imported and Domestic Generators

For such a strictly regulated industry, why do product quotes vary so much? We can roughly divide them into four price ranges and analyze the reasons to understand the underlying causes:

1.Imported Generator Quotes (Highest Price)

This range of quotes generally comes from professional manufacturers of foreign-funded enterprises. Due to high production and management costs, as well as the additional management costs required to strictly comply with the production license requirements, these products have quality and after-sales service guarantees. Due to factors such as high comprehensive costs and foreign-funded brands, the prices are relatively high. Quotes from enterprises and authorized professional agents are the highest, with a general price difference of up to 6% - 15%.

2.Domestic Generator Quotes (Second Highest Price)

Manufacturers in this range are generally professional domestic enterprises with a strong awareness of product quality, market reputation, and long-term development. They strictly follow the production license requirements for standardized production and management, so their prices are also competitive. Quotes from such enterprises, their authorized professional agents, or businesses selling their products are in the second tier, generally 12% - 18% lower than those of imported generators.

3.Quotes from Small Assembled Generator Sets (Lowest Price)

This range of quotes mainly includes OEM products, uncertified products, or products with inconsistent certified specifications. They are either manufacturers that specialize in OEM production for others, sellers that entrust others to produce and label products with their own nameplates, or manufacturers that have not obtained production licenses. Although the prices are low, the product quality cannot be guaranteed, so buyers need to be cautious when making a purchase.
