Ahead of the new season, Svoboda Jiri, Regional Technical Service Leader Northern Region, and Lee Lewing, Regional Aftersales Manager UK & IE, recently delivered technical updates during two Vanguard Commercial Refresher & Update training sessions for our UK dealer network.
Held at the facilities of Stuart Taylor in Blackburn and T H WHITE Group in Devizes, the sessions brought together commercial dealers and technicians from across the region. Participants included both experienced Vanguard partners and technicians new to Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) systems, who joined for a valuable refresher and technical update.
The one-day programmes focused on strengthening product knowledge and diagnostic capabilities across the Vanguard commercial engine range.
💛A sincere thank you to the teams at Stuart Taylor International and TH White for hosting us, and to all participants for their excellent engagement throughout the sessions.

But first: Duty Cycle. ☕️⚡️
In the world of electrification, the duty cycle is the "morning coffee"— the essential foundation you need before anything else happens.
Real-world energy demands are rarely steady. To size a battery correctly, you have to account for:
Continuous loads (The marathon)
Intermittent use (The interval training)
Pulsed peaks (The sprint)
A thoughtful analysis of the actual duty cycle helps you avoid the two biggest traps: underperformance or unnecessary cost and weight. If you do not know the load, you are just guessing at the capacity.
Sizing your battery without duty cycle data is like brewing coffee without water. It just will not work.
What practical steps do you take to capture accurate duty cycle data before selecting a battery? Let us discuss in the comments. 👇

Power that adapts. Efficiency that lasts. No matter the task.
From emergency response to construction, turf care, and industrial equipment, modern commercial engines are expected to perform across a wide range of demanding environments. They need to respond to changing loads, maintain steady output, and help keep operations running efficiently, wherever they are deployed.
With Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) technology, most of our Vanguard engines can automatically adjust to the job at hand:
✅ Optimising fuel delivery
✅ Managing engine speed
✅ Supporting consistent performance across different applications and markets
It is all about giving operators the confidence that their power source will keep up! #PassionForPower #Engines #Innovation

Last week, we had the pleasure of delivering two Vanguard EFI training courses at the facilities of our Spanish distributor Millasur in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
The sessions brought together 22 participants from Spain and Portugal, including both new and long-standing dealers, who joined for a valuable refresher training. We were also pleased to welcome a technical representative from our Portuguese distributor, Viselbi.
The two intensive two-day programs focused on strengthening diagnostic capabilities across our engine range and were led by Cesar Pedreira Sinde, with support from Luis González and Jamie Bailey. Particular emphasis was placed on structured troubleshooting and real-world fault finding. The additional practical training elements were especially well received, reinforcing both technical confidence and service capability across the network.
Strong knowledge drives strong service.
A sincere thank you to the Millasur team and all participants for their excellent engagement throughout the week.

Last week, Andrew Charuta, our Regional Technical Service Leader for Electrification, travelled to the snowy region of Vantaa to deliver Vanguard Li-Ion Battery Training at Masino Group’s headquarters.
Masino Group is a Finnish distributor for industrial hardware and has been selling our engines for many years, alongside our Vanguard battery packs. With new electrification projects ahead in 2026 covering both battery and engine applications, strengthening technical knowledge is key to continued success.
The session was highly productive, combining both theoretical and practical components. Discussions focused on battery safety, technical specifications, and the fundamentals of lithium-ion technology, with a deep dive into our Vanguard battery range and its technical details.
Following the presentations, the team moved into hands-on exercises centered on troubleshooting and using diagnostic tools to identify common errors. These practical sessions provided valuable experience working directly with the systems and reinforced best practices for performance, safety, and reliability.
Strong products matter.
Strong partnerships matter more.
Thank you to the Masino team for the excellent engagement and commitment to growing electrification in Finland. Until next time!

Great to reconnect in person with our long-standing partner, Eliet.
Our colleagues Guillaume Baronnet and Philipp Deubel recently visited Eliet on site in Belgium and had the pleasure of meeting Lietaer Frederic, ELIET's CEO.
Eliet is a great example of how different power sources can be matched to different customer needs. Their portfolio includes equipment powered both by our Vanguard petrol engines and lithium-ion battery solutions.
It was a real pleasure to have face-to-face conversations again, and we are looking forward to the next exciting product developments from Eliet. #poweredbyPassion
