Toyota chooses a Genesal emergency genset for its factory in Guanajato (Mexico)

Toyota has trusted in Genesal to deliver emergency power to its Mexican factory in Apaseo el Grande, Guanajato. The client needed something very specific: a back-up genset for the auxiliary equipment of the switching substation which serves the factory, for which we designed and supplied a 220 kVA special set, capable of providing the necessary support to the factory in the event of a mains failure.

The factory is one of the biggest projects carried out in the Apaseo el Grande municipality and will cause a great economic impact in the area, generating employment for 1.100 people. Furthermore, the installation will complete the production that the Japanese multinational corporation carries out in Baja California, where it currently produces around 170.000 units a year, of which nine out of ten are exported to the United States.
