FAW Generators in South Africa

AGP Generators supplies complete generator sets powered by FAW diesel engines. We are a set supplier — not an official FAW distributor.

FAW-powered generator sets suit buyers who need dependable three-phase diesel power at a practical price point for workshops, farms and small industrial yards. AGP Generators packages FAW engines into AGP silent and open sets. A 30 kVA three-phase silent FAW-powered unit lists around R98,500 excluding VAT. These sets are a common step-up from portable petrol units when continuous diesel duty and three-phase motors enter the picture.

FAW generator FAQs

They share a brand lineage in diesel manufacturing, but a generator set is a packaged power product with alternator, canopy and controls. AGP supplies the complete genset, not truck engines for vehicles.

The AGP 30 kVA three-phase silent FAW-powered set lists at R98,500 excluding VAT. Installation, cabling and ATS are quoted separately.

Yes for many pivot and pump loads in the 30–100 kVA band, provided starting currents and altitude derating are checked. Diesel fuel logistics on the farm matter as much as the engine choice.

Canopied 30 kVA class units typically sit near 70–74 dB(A) at 7 m. Open-frame units are louder and better suited to industrial yards away from housing.

You receive AGP’s warranty on the complete generator set we supply. Engine support is handled through the parts and service path described on your quotation — we do not claim FAW dealership status.
