Chris Meyers Talks Engine Innovations and Improving the Rental Customer Experience with Rental Magazine’s Alexis Sheprak in The Bottom Line Podcast
MILWAUKEE (October 15, 2021) – Rental magazine’s Alexis Sheprak sat down with Chris Meyers, Product Manager for Utility Engines at Briggs & Stratton, for Rental’s The Bottom Line podcast. Meyers and Sheprak cover topics ranging from trends that Briggs & Stratton is embracing and new engine innovations, to the importance of listening to customer feedback.
According to Meyers, a key trend that Briggs & Stratton has been focused on is taking automotive-style technology and incorporating it into its commercial engines. A few examples of such innovations include Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) and advanced communication systems that allow for easier diagnostics and alerts.
Another focus for Briggs & Stratton is keeping in mind rental users’ experience with its engines. Meyers acknowledged that improving end-user experience is very important to the Vanguard team. One way they’ve worked to improve user experience has been increasing reliability with innovations like TransportGuard®. Other ways include working to reduce downtime and maintenance with the standard cyclonic air filtration system and easy engine starting.
Overall, Briggs & Stratton continues to value customer feedback in order to bring rental users intuitive, reliable and productive engines for their needs.
