OJUS' sizeable order reflects confidence in Volvo Penta's competitive edge
OJUS Power and Technologies, a prominent contender in India's generator market, has expanded its operations into the air compressor industry with Volvo Penta. Leveraging the performance, reliability, and total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages of Volvo Penta's engines, OJUS has positioned its offerings as highly appealing to customers, enhancing its competitive edge in the market.
One of Volvo Penta India’s newest customers has placed a substantial single order for Volvo Penta D13 engines after recently diversifying into the air compressor segment. OJUS Power and Technologies Private Limited is rapidly infiltrating the air compressor market thanks to its product’s fuel efficiency and favorable total cost of ownership (TCO).
As part of new business initiatives OJUS Power and Technologies began investigating how it could enter the high-volume industrial compressor segment. With Volvo Penta having successful acceptance in the compressor segment through other OEMs and repowering programs for older compressors of various makes that showcased the many advantages its engines could provide this application, it became apparent that it was the ideal choice.
Volvo Penta supplies various engine models, with different power ratings, for OJUS’ compressor models. The compressors are popular among customers thanks to their fuel efficiency and compelling total cost of ownership. This drove OJUS’ decision to place a large order for TAD1343VE and TAD1345VE configurations of the D13 for the company’s compressor models VAYU 451XM and VAYU 536XH. A compressor design using the D16 engines is also in the pipeline, joining the recently updated D8 genset engine that OJUS also packages for export.
“Volvo Penta delivers high value to our customers with its powerful, reliable, and fuel-efficient engines, backed by comprehensive aftermarket support from authorized dealers,” says Ram Sampathkumar, Co-founder & Managing Director OJUS. “They help us in our commitment to delivering 5-15% fuel efficiency and productivity improvement over our best-in-class competitor products. The high rate of repeat purchases underscores the trust customers place in our products powered by Volvo Penta.”
