Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power Brings Interactive Website to Customers

Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power recently launched a new website, www.vanguardengines.com, for OEMs and commercial engine owners. Users can find engines, locate product support and give user-generated content on commercial engines. “OEM engineers told us locating engine information was difficult,” said Dan Roche, marketing manager of Briggs & Stratton Commercial Power. “We designed a new way to speed the process by making the search tool extremely flexible. And if an owner has a specific question about an engine, they will find everything they need on the engine page.”

The new “Power Vault” provides information about Vanguard engine specifications and detailed engineering documents. Visitors can search by a number of criteria including engine configuration, cylinders, horsepower range, displacement and weight in both SAE and metric units. The engine section contains detailed information about every Vanguard engine. Just click on a specific engine and users will have easy access to features, benefits, specs, accessories and warranty information.

The site includes the new Vanguard Owner's Group in which visitors can respond to or submit questions on industry topics. Each month, Briggs & Stratton features one question on industry trends, new ideas and business issues. VOG allows users and owners to have a voice on current issues and trends in the industry sharing their experiences and concerns.
