The online shop is easy to navigate and allows customers to search by engine serial number, navigate by engine series and model, part category, name or number. Every part has a full description, image, and information showing which engine uses the part, so customers can be confident they are ordering the correct part every time. All parts come with a 12-month warranty.

If a part isn’t currently available to buy through www.perkins.com/shop then customers can register their interest in the product. This request is passed to the local Perkins distributor, who will follow up on the purchase and can provide additional installation advice and support.

“We know many of our customers undertake their own engine maintenance work and servicing, particularly if it’s an older machine, but they still want to use genuine parts to maintain the performance and longevity of their equipment,” Rob Collard, aftermarket regional manager said.

“The site stocks service and maintenance parts, enabling customers to quickly and easily order a genuine part direct from Perkins and have it delivered the next day. Customers can use their credit card to quickly buy one part or many parts, depending on their needs, so no time is wasted for example by having to set up a business account,” Rob added.

The online shop gives Perkins customers quick and easy access to Perkins genuine parts, up-to-date information about the parts on their engines and support from their local Perkins distributor if required.

The launch of the Ireland shop follows the successful opening of online parts shops in the USA and UK in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

“We’re excited to be launching our third shop and we’d encourage Perkins customers in Ireland to go online and explore the new parts shop at www.perkins.com/shop,” Rob said. “In both the USA and the UK we’ve had a great response to the online shops and I’m pleased to say we’re serving many new customers with Perkins genuine parts. We’re looking forward to doing the same in Ireland.”
