Today we are developing our engines for the next generation of fuels in readiness for the energy transition. Of the more than 7,000 iconic Bergen engines built to date, around half are still in service today. Such is the quality and reliability of a “Bergen” engine. Not only do we build the finest medium speed engines available, we also assemble and test complete generator sets, design modular power plants and partner to provide turn-key microgrid power solutions.
