Aarsen, who has served as president of Yanmar Europe since 2014, commented on his new appointment at the engines company: “I am looking forward to taking on this new challenge in the energy domain.

"The sector is changing and I’m excited to be a part of the new solutions and growth opportunities that this provides.”

A global provider of energy solutions, Yanmar Energy System is active in the development, manufacturing, sales, installation, and maintenance of air conditioning and power generation systems, including cogeneration, as well as operation, support, and remote monitoring services.

In recent years the company has expanded into new markets with hydrogen technology as well as decarbonisation activities with the establishment of a carbon neutral business promotion office.

Outgoing Yanmar Energy System president Tetsuya Yamamoto, who has just been appointed chief operating officer and representative director of Yanmar Holdings, welcomed Aarsen to his new role.

“Peter has become increasingly involved in the energy systems business which has benefited from his extensive technical knowledge and experience,” said Yamamoto. “His proven effectiveness in growing teams that drive revenue growth and profitability will ensure Yanmar Energy System continues to build on its global success.”
