Honda GX120U-type Engines

Due to a delay in obtaining the ‘2024 Model Year’ US EPA 49 states certification for the GX120U-type engines, production of this specific engine series will be temporarily suspended as from January 1st 2024.
Existing stock of the GX120U-type engines as well as engines produced in the remainder of 2023 meets the requirements of US-EPA and Euro Stage V regulations and can as such be mounted on equipment for sale in the US 49 States and Europe.
Production is scheduled to restart as from the 3rd quarter of 2024.
We have increased our own stock and forward orders with Honda to counteract the impact of this, but please also increase your own stock and place your own forward orders with us to ensure you do not run out of these engines for your production line (OEM’s) or for replacements in the field.
