Company

Overview

$476 million

2024 Sales Figure

The company generated over $476 million in revenue during 2024.

1.5 million engines

Total Engines Sold

Over 1.5 million engines have been sold worldwide by the company.

.97 to 88 liters

Engine Displacements

The company's portfolio spans engine displacements ranging from .97 liters to 88 liters.

20-, 40-, 53‑liter

EPA-Certified Engines

Recent innovations include EPA-certified diesel blocks in sizes of 20-, 40-, and 53‑liter.

Through in‑house prototyping, engineering and testing, it evolved into a turnkey provider of emission‑certified powertrains.
Today its fuel‑agnostic engines—running on diesel, gas, biofuels, even propane—serve stationary and mobile power markets.
Its systems power diverse applications: from forklifts, irrigation pumps and sweepers to terminal tractors and military vehicles.
It also delivers complete gensets for standby, prime, demand‑response, microgrids and data‑center resiliency projects.
PSI’s portfolio spans .97‑ to 88‑liter displacements, with engines sold in North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.
A standout: PSI acts as Manufacturer of Record, handling full emissions certification so OEMs don’t have to.
