Rehlko, which earlier named Kohler Energy, has taken on an audacious journey aimed at sustainability and technology enhancement. In foundation built from its predecessor Kohler, Rehlko is transforming into tomorrow’s energy solutions through technology and tenacity. Even in the hard times, the firm holds its head high, with a promise to offer smart technologies to solve even the most complex energy problems.
Rehlko’s revamping indicates transition toward independence and revolution
The rebranding of Rehlko goes beyond a change of name; it represents a move towards independence and expansion. In May 2024 Rehlko was incorporated as a separate entity after being obtained by Platinum Equity. More than 100 sites internationally still operate under the Rehlko umbrella.
Extending from an anagram of Kohler the new name is fitting of Rehlko’s historical past along with their aspirations going forward. Responding to a query, Francis Perrin, Chief Brand and Sustainability Officer said that this change enables Rehlko to concentrate on its core business – which is to provide energy solutions outside the grid.
As a standalone business unit, Rehlko now possesses the necessary agility to act in an innovative and time saving manner. However, while there are some branding changes that are apparent, the company remains true to its central principles. “Continuity is key,” pointed out Perrin. The clients will work with the same individuals and the same product range but with greater attention and velocity since Rehlko aims to meet the modern energy system challenges.
Rehlko reveals the new command PRO 888 Engine at Equip Expo 2024
Rehlko’s originality can be seen in almost all its products including power systems, engines and renewable energy. Lately the company presented the Command PRO 888 a highly compact and powerful engine for commercial mowers during the Equip Expo 2024.
Besides gasoline engines Rehlko is also working on hydrogen fuel cell technologies with the objective of producing backup generators that will use hydrogen by the end of 2024. Although a shift towards electrification is being observed in smaller engines, Rehlko is still a firm advocate of clean diesel for larger applications as part of a progressive energy transition policy.
Rehlko fuels development and progress in energy transition
Rehlko’s strategic approach looks further into sustainable growth towards innovation. With the shift in energy dynamics, the company collaborates with OEMs and other stakeholders to offer tailored services. By taking advantage of the Curtis Instruments and other branches of Rehlko, the company is looking into new territories and providing higher-level systems, particularly in the sectors that are in the process of being electrified.
Curtis Instruments, which specializes in electric vehicle controllers, is creating new avenues. For instance, Rehlko is launching turf electrification, which in the past had only minimal globalization. Because of the synergies realized throughout the different divisions of the company, Rehlko is expected to play an important role in traditional energy and new energy technologies.
This helps to establish a positive outlook on growth in off-highway vehicles, renewable energy, and other similar sectors. The innovation at Rehlko also goes beyond engines and power systems. The corporation makes large investments in research and development so that society will have reliant and efficient solutions in the coming years.
There’s no doubt that Rehlko is at the forefront of energy transition together with putting the customers first in the research of either improving hydrogen systems or in adapting more effective diesel systems.
Rehlko’s evolution from Kohler Energy to what it has today is indeed an audacious progress in the world of energy solutions. Going independent, concentrating on improving technology and encouraging teamwork prepares the company for the dynamism of the energy industry. Hydrogen and the electrification that comes with it and engine technology projects are interesting works that Rehlko is more than prepared to take on and champion for sustainable development.
