India’s Cooper Corporation has teamed up with Japan’s Sinfonia Technology for a new LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) genset project that will target Africa and other regional marketsThe strategic alliance will see engine maker Cooper produce the gensets at its factory in Satara, Maharashtra.Both sides will then be involved in marketing and distributing the gensets across India and other markets, with a strategic emphasis on Africa, Asia and the Middle East.The 10-kVA LPG generator sets will be marketed in India under the brand name 'Daimon', while in the Japanese market they will be sold under the brand 'Satara'.Cooper Corporation’s chairman and managing director, Farrokh N Cooper, said its partnership with Sinfonia Technology marks a new step towards “reshaping the energy landscape” with cleaner, smarter solutions.The company already produces a large range of diesel gensets that it sells into the Africa market.The joint venture aims to help industries transition to sustainable and cost-effective power solutions without compromising on reliability or performance, Cooper noted.The new genset fully complies with India’s Central Pollution Control Board IV+ (CPCB IV+) norms, the country’s most stringent emission standards.It is powered by Cooper’s indigenously developed lean-burn gas engine, designed in collaboration with Ricardo of the UK.Equipped with an electronic engine management system, isochronous governing and a compact V-twin 2-cylinder engine, the genset delivers lower emissions, quiet operation, high power density with a lightweight, space-efficient design.This makes it ideal for diverse applications across urban and rural areas, including micro grids, educational institutions, retail and industrial setups, according to Cooper.“The Daimon genset reflects our belief that progress is driven by collaboration where Japanese precision and Indian engineering come together with intent,” he said.Read more:
