What Bowman Power Group does
Bowman Power Group Ltd is a privately held UK engineering company headquartered in Southampton that designs, manufactures, and supports electrified turbomachinery products (branded eTurbo Systems) for industrial-scale combustion engines and fuel cells. The portfolio is built on the proprietary TorqIQ® platform and includes StartIQ™ (a fast-start eCompressor), eCompressor and eTurbocharger (boost assist variants), the eTurbine family (ETC 300/600/1000 for high-speed engines and a medium-speed range up to ~20 MW for waste-heat recovery), and Mk5 power electronics. The technology converts exhaust waste heat into grid-quality electrical power and provides electrically assisted boosting, with stated field-validated benefits including up to 25% CO₂-equivalent reduction, 10% NOx reduction, 40% unburnt hydrocarbon reduction, and a 10-second start-to-full-load capability for gas engines; the installed base has accumulated over 20 million operating hours across hundreds of systems on engines from Cummins, Wärtsilä, Jenbacher, Caterpillar, MTU, MAN, Volvo, Scania, Mitsubishi, MWM, and GE.
The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of eTurbo Systems (both bolt-on retrofits and OEM-integrated configurations), technology licensing and long-term series-production supply agreements with engine OEMs, and engineering/support services including a 12-month warranty with extended coverage. Go-to-market is consultative, engineering-led enterprise sales direct to engine OEMs, power generation operators, biogas plants, and increasingly data centre operators; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Bowman is owned by a mix of family office, private equity, and private individuals, with Fjord Capital and Clerville Investment Management as notable institutional investors; the company employs 50+ people and operates from its Turbo Systems Electrification Centre (TSEC) facility in Southampton, having launched series production with its first global engine OEM partner in September 2025.
Bowman's strategic focus since 2021 has shifted toward co-development with engine and turbocharger OEMs, expanding the addressable market from end-user power generation operators into OEM-embedded supply agreements. Primary customer segments are power generation operators (gas, diesel, biogas gensets for grid balancing, peaking, standby, microgrid, and island-mode applications), industrial engine OEMs (marine, rail, heavy-duty trucking, locomotives), and data centres requiring fast-start, low-emission backup power. The company has been recognised through the 2019 BEEAs New Product of the Year award and other sustainability and innovation shortlistings.

Bowman Power Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Cummins Inc. Cummins is the world's largest independent manufacturer of diesel and natural gas reciprocating engines for power generation, and a disclosed Bowman customer. Comparable as both a customer and a competitive reference point — Cummins is investing heavily in hydrogen and electrified genset technology, and could either remain Bowman's largest OEM partner or vertically internalize electrified turbo capability.
- Wärtsilä: Wärtsilä is a leading global manufacturer of large reciprocating engines and marine/energy solutions, and a disclosed Bowman customer. Comparable as both an OEM customer and competitive benchmark — Wärtsilä is pursuing its own engine decarbonization roadmap with hydrogen and ammonia-capable engines, and could internalize or partner around Bowman's eTurbo Systems.
- Garrett Motion Inc. Garrett Motion is a leading global turbocharger manufacturer serving passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle and industrial engine OEMs. Directly comparable to Bowman as both companies develop advanced turbocharging and electrified boosting technology sold to engine OEMs, with Garrett's E-Turbo and similar electrified turbo programs overlapping Bowman's TorqIQ-enabled eTurbocharger and StartIQ eCompressor products.
- Caterpillar Inc. Caterpillar is a global manufacturer of diesel and gas reciprocating engines for power generation, and a disclosed Bowman engine OEM partner. Comparable as both customer and competitive reference — Cat is pursuing its own electrification and hydrogen-ready engine roadmap, and remains a key design-in target for Bowman's ETC product line.
Broad incumbents
- BorgWarner Inc. BorgWarner is a global Tier-1 automotive and industrial supplier of turbochargers, power transmission and electrified powertrain components. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering turbocharging, e-turbo and power electronics solutions to engine OEMs, with overlapping electrification programs addressing efficiency and emissions — though spanning a much broader powertrain portfolio than Bowman.
- Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Turbocharger Division): Mitsubishi Heavy Industries manufactures turbochargers used in marine, power generation and industrial engines globally. Comparable to Bowman as an incumbent turbocharger OEM serving similar end markets (marine, power generation), and one of the named engine OEM partners working with Bowman's ETC technology on large gensets.
- IHI Corporation: IHI is a Japanese industrial manufacturer of turbochargers for automotive, marine and industrial engines. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the turbocharger space serving similar engine OEM customers, with parallel R&D efforts on electrified boosting and air-handling technology for next-generation powertrains.
- Koncentra (previously Accelleron / ABB Turbocharging): Accelleron (formerly ABB Turbocharging) is a pure-play turbocharger company serving heavy-duty, marine and power generation engine applications. Directly comparable as a turbocharger specialist targeting the same end markets (large reciprocating engines for power gen, marine, industrial), and a potential competitor for the large-engine end of Bowman's product range.
- ABB Turbocharging: ABB Turbocharging is a leading supplier of turbochargers for large marine, power generation and industrial engines globally. Comparable as an incumbent turbocharger OEM with installed base across the same large-engine power generation applications Bowman serves, and a potential competitor in electrified and waste-heat-recovery boosting solutions.
Emerging players
- Capstone Green Energy (now part of Baker Hughes via ECT): Baker Hughes (via the acquired Capstone microturbine business) and similar distributed generation technology providers serve the same behind-the-meter power generation customers Bowman targets with StartIQ eCompressor and eTurbine systems. Comparable as an adjacent distributed/clean generation technology provider competing for similar microgrid and peaking-power customer budgets.
