Meet the Piccolo GV 2

The Piccolo GV 2 combines the latest diesel engine technology with a new way of producing electrical power. Instead of adding an alternator with fixed speed on the back of the fly-wheel, we have designed a very compact permanent magnet alternator (PM), located just behind the engine. The Piccolo GV 2 is designed to produce DC power by connecting up to 3 superchargers (DC PowerCubes), which can be connected to shore/land power as well.

Unique Genverter Technology

For cases when a constant AC high power consumption isn’t required, installing a Genverter© system with one or multiple DC PowerCubes, combined with an AC PowerCube inverter, can prove to be a smart decision.

The advantage of this unique system is that a non-stop AC power is always available, even without a running engine. This is thanks to the 4, 7 or 14 kVA AC PowerCube inverter which is connected to one or multiple onboard lithium batteries being charged by one or several DC PowerCubes.

Piccolo GV3 Plus System

How it works

Whenever the 24/48 VDC batteries need to be recharged, the Genverter© starts up automatically. At the same time, the DC PowerCube is connected to the shore power – during shore power connection, the various onboard batteries are charged with a maximum of 3.5 kW or a multiply of this.

Using the remote control panel, supplied as standard, the shore power can be set to the required ampere value (4,6,8,10,16 A). The DC PowerCube also features a separate charging output for 12 or 24 VDC.

Stage V / EPA / Tier 4, low emission, indirect-water cooled engine

Only the best 2 & 3 cylinder engines are applied: long lasting, reliable, silent engines, complying with EPA /Tier 4 (USA standard) and Stage V (European standard). The engine and PM alternator back-end are connected into one cooling circuit and kept on a constant temperature via a heat exchanger (indirect cooling applied).
