Perkins
• Major Perkins components and remanufactured engines previously marketed under separate brand names now get the same treatment as Powerpart's fast-moving parts.
The diesel parts supply operation has been relaunched with a new look and an expanded range of services. As a result, sales of Perkins genuine diesel engine parts is predicted to rise by more than 20%.
Explains aftermarket director and general manager Allan Arnott: "We are offering endusers of Perkins engines the most comprehensive, professional and caring service support available."
A new Powerpart livery, highlighting the Perkins connection, has been introduced.
• A £5 million investment at Perkins Central Parts Opera tion at Manchester means 90% parts availability ex stock; • New overhaul kits are introduced for vehicles and mobile equipment; • Perkins distributors are equipping and training to handle fuel-injection equipment maintenance and warranty repair work.
Meanwhile, Perkins is establishing Powerlink, a sophisticated communications link with distributors, to speed ordering and dispatch.
Powerpart was launched nearly 10 years ago. Ten major new engine families have come in over the past three years.
