Diesel Generators convert the chemical energy stored in diesel into electric energy for use as a power source.

The ability of modern diesel generators to cater to heavy loads as well as smaller loads has contributed to the growing demand for these products around the world.

A recent report shows demand for the global diesel generator market is expected to reach $16.85 billion by the end of 2027 - up from $12.98 billion in 2019.

In the age of the coronavirus pandemic, passport-free holidays are quickly becoming the norm.

With sustainable tourism on the rise, and continuing uncertainty about international travel, Staycations are set to become more popular than ever this summer.

As hope for the easing of lockdown restrictions intensifies, motorhome holidays are becoming the go-to choice for domestic holidaying in 2021.

When constraints on travel and the hospitality and leisure industries were lifted last summer Staycation popularity soared and history could be about to repeat itself this year.

During these challenging times and because we supply critical healthcare, infrastructure and defence sectors we would just like to remind our customers that FA Parkes is still operating as usual with additional social distancing measures and PPE in place at our warehouse and production facilities in line with the government’s guidelines and advice.
