We are very excited that PSI has partnered with us to supply this engine exclusively to ERock in its new Microgrid Genset." McAndrew added, "The PSI, 3Pi and ERock teams have collaborated closely for the last 24 months to develop a Microgrid Genset that provides substantial advantages over other offerings in the market.
