SANY powers Zimbabwe with reliable diesel generators

SANY Heavy Industry Zimbabwe Company is driving innovation in Africa’s power sector with its advanced diesel generator technology

Designed to tackle Zimbabwe’s energy challenges, these generators offer reliable, high-performance solutions that support industries like mining, agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing.

Expanding its footprint in Africa’s infrastructure sector, SANY Genset, the division specialising in industrial and commercial diesel generators, is now delivering globally trusted solutions locally. The Zimbabwe office, already established as a hub for construction and heavy equipment operations, now provides comprehensive sales, support, and servicing for the full genset range, offering power capacities tailored for businesses of all sizes.

“This project represents more than a single sale. It is a signal to the market that SANY Heavy Industry Zimbabwe Company is here to stay, with full genset support, local parts, and responsive service,” said Thomas Jin, senior international sales & marketing manager.

Meeting client needs with reliable solutions

The first major deployment of SANY’s diesel generators in Zimbabwe has been successfully completed for Ming Chang Sino-Africa Mining Investment (MCSA). Operating in a sector that faces persistent grid power challenges, MCSA needed a dependable off-grid power solution to support uninterrupted mining activities.

Having previously invested in SANY’s excavators, pumps, and heavy machinery, MCSA trusted the brand’s reputation for quality and service. This confidence led to the selection of the SANY SYL1520 DC1 diesel generator, delivering 1,520 kW or 1,900 kVA of power. Three units were installed, equipped with advanced load management technology that dynamically adjusts power usage to optimise fuel efficiency without compromising performance.

Each unit operates as part of a modular system, composed of four 380 kW units running in parallel. This setup ensures seamless power switchover and continuous operation, even when one unit undergoes maintenance, enhancing reliability and minimising disruptions.

“We needed reliability, fast lead time, and solid local support. SANY delivered on all three,” said MCSA.

Following the successful deployment, MCSA has confirmed plans to acquire three additional SYL1520 DC1 generators, reinforcing its trust in SANY as a long-term power solutions partner.

Powering progress with local expertise

SANY Heavy Industry Zimbabwe Company is committed to more than just supplying equipment. It is fostering lasting partnerships by stocking critical spare parts, training local technical teams, and ensuring responsive service. The company provides reliable long-term support for every genset installed.

From mining to agriculture, logistics to manufacturing, SANY diesel generators are built for Africa’s toughest energy demands. Combining cutting-edge innovation with strong local backing, SANY ensures its solutions drive real progress.

Because in Africa, progress demands more than innovation. It demands presence.
