V228 and 250 Series Diesel Generator Sets
Deliver dependable power for diverse applications
As a world leader in high-performance medium-speed diesel engine design and manufacture, GE Transportation makes
engines that power locomotives on the tracks and tugboats on the water. While these products help move people and goods
safely and eciently around the globe, GE Transportation also produces powerful engines for products that don’t move an
inch — stationary diesel gensets.
When applied to stationary power, GE Transportation’s experience and proven technology deliver dependable, ecient,
cost-eective power solutions in some of the world’s harshest operating environments. GE Transportation’s V228 and 250 Se-
ries Diesel Generator Sets oer continuous and standby power worldwide, powering factories in Indonesia, providing backup
power in New Orleans and generating power for the Baghdad International Airport.
Fuel-ecient, easy-to-maintain and reliable
Oered in both enclosed and unenclosed units, the V228 and 250 Series Diesel Generator Sets are
a medium-speed alternative to high-cost power with high fuel eciency and low life-cycle costs.

Fuel-ecient
As energy prices rise, cities, airports, utilities and manufacturing
facilities are challenged to nd more economical power
sources. GE Transportation’s gensets are a fuel-ecient
solution when compared to other mid-sized engines and
high-speed alternatives. In fact, GE Transportation’s V228
and 250 Series Engines deliver a fuel savings of 3 to 5%,
saving fuel and reducing overall operating costs.
Quick delivery
With industry delivery times averaging more than one
year, GE Transportation’s four- to 12-month delivery
timeframe is one of the fastest in the industry. Additionally,
GE Transportation’s service centers provide packaging,
installation and commission and its expansive global parts-
supplier network ensures customers receive replacement
parts quickly.
Longer life-cycles and service intervals
Due to their unique engineering features, the V228 and 250
Series Engines allow individual parts to be replaced quickly
and eciently, resulting in longer service intervals, reduced
maintenance and labor costs and longer life-cycles.
Life-cycle costs by kW
• Skid-mounted or enclosed congurations
• Contain all necessary equipment for stand-
alone power generation
• Heavy-duty cooling up to 50°C with no derate
• Enclosures can withstand hurricane-force
winds
• Operates in island, load-share, black-start and

When a massive blackout aected 45 million Americans in the Northeastern United States in 2003, 8 million were
New York City residents who lost power in the mass, regional outage. Most areas regained electricity within a few
hours, but New Yorkers waited until the following morning. Among them were the nearly 300,000 residents of New
York’s 26th Ward in Brooklyn.
Not wanting to repeat such a massive power loss, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection
reached an agreement with Skanska USA
*
to purchase three of GE Transportation’s 250 Series enclosed Diesel Gen-
erator Sets for the 26th Ward’s wastewater treatment facility. The 12-cylinder gensets will provide backup power in
the event of another blackout, all while meeting EPA Tier 2 emission standards and aording fuel savings of up to
6.5% compared to previous models.
New York City to receive backup power
from GE Transportation
GE Transportation’s V228 and 250 Series Diesel Generator Sets oer a fuel savings of 3 to 5%
and nearly double the mean time between maintenance in a typical power application.
A cost-eective alternative to high-cost power
Easy to maintain
• Modularized construction
• Large doors on mainframe to access crankcase
• Camshaft arranged in individual sections
• Sectional exhaust manifold
• Unied power assemblies
Quick delivery of parts
• Easy ve-step installation process
• 1,000 unique parts and assemblies in inventory
Fuel-efficient
• A high-capacity turbocharger, electric fuel injection
and ecient combustion management make fuel
and lube-oil consumption among the lowest in
the industry.
Reliable
• Designed to support extended maintenance intervals.
With rugged construction and quality-assured parts,
GE Transportation’s engines can run cost eectively
for more than 20 years.
