Rehlko’s firstborn is called Command PRO 888

Under a litre of displacement is also the Command Pro 888

The Command PRO 888 represents the next generation of Rehlko’s carbureted gasoline engines. Available in two distinct versions—the CV829 and CV832—the Command PRO 888 is purpose-built to meet the demands of commercial users, providing unmatched performance and durability. With a focus on maximizing uptime and reducing maintenance costs, the engine delivers the highest net power in its class while requiring less installation space. Even among petrol units, in short, there is a perceptible need to find the best ratio between size and power. Especially in the perspective of repowering machines with thousands of operating hours.

According to Rehlko, the Command PRO 888 features a best-in-class governor response, ensuring rapid power delivery with a new mechanical governor system. The engines provide up to 32 net horsepower and 71.9 Nm. The Command PRO 888 engine is engineered to power a broad range of commercial ride-on and stand-on mowers. Its compact size and drop-in replacement capability make it easy for OEMs to integrate the engine into existing designs or new installations.

About Rehlko

The 888 is the first engine introduced under the Rehlko brand following the company’s rebranding from Kohler Energy. On September 17, Kohler Energy announced its transformation into Rehlko, marking a new era of innovation and agility for the company. This transition follows the completion of a transaction in May 2024, when Platinum Equity acquired Kohler Energy as a stand-alone business. Platinum Equity now holds majority ownership of Rehlko, with Kohler Company remaining an investment partner.
