About Yanmar Energy Systems: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions & Energy Efficiency Since 1912

For over a century, Yanmar has been defined by a single, driving principle: engineering excellence that respects the environment. Tracing back to our founding in 1912 as a privately owned, family-run business, our journey began with founder Magokichi Yamaoka’s vision for reducing fuel waste.

Today, Yanmar Energy Systems North America continues that legacy. We are dedicated to providing sustainable solutions that empower our customers to optimize their energy usage while reducing their environmental footprint.

A Legacy of Engineering Excellence

Yanmar’s century-long commitment to quality laid the foundation for our world-class diesel engine technology. Over 30 years ago, we leveraged this expertise to develop the core of our highly reliable natural gas engines.

Our current lean-burn Miller Cycle Gas Engines are a testament to this legacy. With over 300,000 installations globally in CHP (Combined Heat and Power) and VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) applications, these engines demonstrate unmatched energy efficiency and industry-leading 10,000-hour maintenance intervals.

This reliability is guaranteed by our vertical integration; we design and manufacture over 15 million engines across diverse sectors to ensure unparalleled quality.

Yanmar Green Challenge 2050

We believe in leaving this world better than we found it. That commitment drives our ambitious Yanmar Green Challenge 2050, a fundamental transformation to become a zero-impact company.

By 2050, Yanmar will be a greenhouse gas-free company. We are eliminating emissions from every aspect of our operations, from our suppliers' manufacturing processes to the products themselves. Beyond our own transformation, we are committed to helping our customers achieve their own goals for energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
