Briggs & Stratton’s line up at The ARA Show included the current lineup of Vanguard innovative power solutions including such as new swappable battery technology and the 400 EFI/ETC single-cylinder engine. The Vanguard 1.5kWh swappable battery was also displayed at the company’s booth along with the new single-cylinder Vanguard 400 engine equipped with electronic fuel injection and electronic throttle control. Other products included the Vanguard Commercial Lithium-Ion Battery Packs, an alternative power solution, and the full lineup of single-cylinder horizontal shaft engines.

“The Vanguard product lineup is designed to be thoughtful, innovative and offer diverse power solutions for the industry,” said Amy West, Briggs & Stratton marketing manager, commercial power. “We are excited to display our lineup which includes the new 400 EFI/ETC engine and our commercial grade Lithium-Ion battery packs.”

The new single-cylinder Vanguard 400 EFI/ETC 14.0 Gross HP engine is launching in March 2022. This is the latest model to incorporate electronic fuel injection and electronic throttle control, which improves performance and load acceptance, and offers better fuel efficiency and easy all-weather choke-less starting.

The Vanguard lineup of single-cylinder horizontal shaft commercial engines were also on display, which included the Vanguard 400, a 14.0 Gross HP engine, Vanguard 200, a 6.5 Gross HP engine and Vanguard 160, a 5.0 Gross HP engine. This family of engines were built and designed based on customer research and provides proven power with superior starting and significantly less maintenance. These models also feature the patented, Vanguard-exclusive, TransportGuard technology and fully integrated cyclonic air cleaner with advanced AutoShed technology.

Along with the 400 EFI/ETC engine, visitors can see the Vanguard Lithium-Ion 1.5kWh Swappable Battery Pack on display. The battery is designed to provide users with an efficient, versatile and reliable battery power option. The battery features an exchangeable design, allowing customers to easily remove and replace the battery as needed and like the currently available Vanguard Lithium-Ion Battery Packs, the swappable battery can be used in tandem with other packs to make sure larger power needs can be met.
