HIMOINSA, global leader designer and manufacturer in power technology solutions belonging to the Yanmar group, has become the official power supplier for the “Aire 25” Festival, one of the world's largest air shows and the main aeronautical event to be held in Spain this year, organised by the Air and Space Force. This unique event commemorates the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Patrulla Águila aerobatic team, whose first flight took place on 4 July 1985 at the San Javier Air Base.
'Aire 25' will take place on 14 and 15 June at San Javier Air Base (Murcia) and the beaches of the Mar Menor, and is expected to attract more than 400,000 visitors who will enjoy aerial demonstrations by world-class patrols and squadrons such as the French Air Force's aerobatic demonstration team ' Patrouille de France‘; the Italian Air Force's aerobatic squadron ’Frecce Tricolori‘; and the Swiss Air Force's flight demonstration group ’Patrouille Suisse", among others.
A unique international event that requires a temporary power supply and will feature HIMOINSA as the official supplier, providing generators and battery storage systems to cover the nearly 3MW of power required in various areas of the festival.
The aim of this partnership is to supply temporary power with reliable and sustainable equipment, incorporating the latest technology.
The HIMOINSA S5 generators are capable of reducing harmful gas emissions (Nox, HCO, PM, CO) by up to 90%. For this event, dozens of diesel and gas generators as well as battery storage systems will be combined. The LPG generators incorporate a three-way catalyst to further reduce pollutant emissions. And the EHR - Battery Generators - guarantee zero emissions when they run as the single source of energy.
HIMOINSA, integrated in Yanmar Energy System (YES), the energy division of the Yanmar Group, plays an important role in the constant development of power generation solutions, implementing innovative technologies and coordinating with the rest of the YES teams new developments to offer complete solutions to the market; generation, cogeneration, trigeneration, hybridisation, battery systems and hydrogen-based power generation.
'It is an honour to be present at this unique aeronautical exhibition in the world, becoming the Official Power Supplier' explains Cristina Avilés, Global Marketing and Communication Head at Himoinsa, who adds that ‘HIMOINSA is committed to supporting this type of social and cultural festivals, in line with our CSR policies and contributing with the most appropriate power solution in the most reliable, safe and sustainable way’.
This is not the first time that HIMOINSA has become a power supplier at major international sporting and music events, such as the extreme competition of the Dakar Rally or the Vuelta a España, the Football World Cup in Qatar, among many others.
For its part, the Patrulla Águila has consolidated its position among the best military air patrols in the world. All its components - pilots and mechanics - are characterised by their excellent preparation, safety and discipline in flight, showing very precise movements. The spectacular nature of its aerial manoeuvres has been exhibited all over the world.
