Reviva® Gas Engine Division and Hoglund Bus Company launch remanufactured drop-in gas engine program
The relationship marks the beginning of Reviva’s creation of a distribution network.
BROOKLYN CENTER, MN – January 16th, 2019
This week, members of Hoglund Bus Company’s sales team met with Reviva’s gas engine team at Reviva’s new gas engine remanufacturing facility to formally launch a drop-in gas engine program. Hoglund Bus Company, also based in Minnesota, will distribute the product line to fleet and bus customers.
Jim Gruber, General Manager, Hoglund Bus Company noted, “We are excited at the opportunity to offer our fleet and bus customers a solution that increases uptime, reduces downtime, and optimizes engine maintenance. Reviva’s dyno-tested drop-in remanufactured gas engines are unique in the market.”
While Reviva® also has a facility in Fridley, MN focused on their diesel product lines, Reviva opened the doors of its new 23,000 square foot gas engine remanufacturing facility in Brooklyn Center, MN in 2018. Equipped with state-of-the-art engine and component cleaning equipment, assembly areas, and a high-density storage system, the new Brooklyn Center facility positions Reviva for rapid growth. Building a go-to-market strategy was the next step.
“We are excited to work with a well-respected local company like Hoglund Bus. We are being very selective as we add a small number of distributors in the U.S., and Hoglund Bus meets all of our criteria we outlined in our business plan. On top of that, from the first day we met to discuss a relationship they were enthusiastic about creating a mutually beneficial relationship,” explained Duane Wanner, General Manager, Reviva® Gas Engine Division.
Reviva’s core principles of reducing downtime by designing remanufactured engines that are drop-in ready has initially proven successful with UPS®. With Reviva’s drop-in, dyno tested engine program, UPS saves 36,000 hours per year in downtime.
