About Us
Founded in 1967 as Bell Detroit Diesel, Bell Power Systems has been one of the nation’s leading authorized distributors of John Deere diesel engines since 1989. Bell has also been a leading distributor of Yanmar Industrial Diesel engines since 2005. Our sales territory covers the eastern United States from Maine to Virginia as far west as New York and Pennsylvania. In 2012 Bell Power Systems became a part of the Superior Diesel family of companies. Together, we specialize in providing value-added diesel engine packages, service parts, and drivetrain components to original equipment manufacturers and dealers for off highway equipment applications.
At Bell Power, our mission is to provide not just engines but comprehensive solutions that empower your operations. With a focus on customization, integration, and sustainability, we continue to be a trusted partner in driving success across various industries.
